On February 12, the band “Citi zēni” with the song “Eat Your Salad” became the winners of the Latvian Television Song Contest “Supernova 2022”, gaining the opportunity to represent Latvia at the 66th International Eurovision Song Contest in Turin, Italy. Tonight, competing with 17 more songs, the group “Other Boys” will perform in the first semifinals of the competition. Latvia is in a similar position with other competitors, because everyone in Turin has had to face technical problems, explains Guntars Gulbiņš, head of the Latvian delegation: “It is clear that the Latvian delegation does not have pyrotechnics, special effects and grandiose scenography. collateral that has annoyed and ruined everyone. You have to live with it to look your best. “

Due to technical shortcomings on the part of the organizers of the competition, the original framing of the performance and the light score had to be changed at the last minute. But despite all the absences, the general mood in the Latvian delegation is good.

“The guys are energetic not only on stage, but also behind the scenes. And the joy of life, despite the absence, has not disappeared, and that is the most important thing,” Gulbins emphasizes. According to the head of the Latvian delegation, it is also gratifying that foreign journalists have noticed “Other Boys” and want to talk and film them.

Representatives of war-torn Ukraine have the biggest chance of winning this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, bookmakers at the gambling portal Betsafe predict. The second semi-final will take place on Thursday, and the final of the competition is expected on Saturday, May 14.
