Check out the first Eurovision entry to be performed in Belarusian

27 January 2017

The first official music video for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest has just been released. Regardless of song quality, this track is rather special — it will be Belarus’s first Eurovision entry to be performed in the Belarusian language.

Representing Belarus in Kiev will be indie pop duo NAVIBAND with Story of My Life (Historyja Majho Zyccia).

Whether they win or not, NAVIBAND will have made history.

The 2017 Eurovision Song Contest final will take place on 13 May in Kiev, with semi-finals on 9 and 11 May.
