With FiKmas over, we start to draw our attention to…well, Christmas. But not for MNISHEK! The band recently revealed their entry for next year’s Vidbir. Could we see them at Eurovision 2019 in Tel Aviv?
Fog, lots of it
“Туман”, transliterated to “Tuman” and known as “Fog” in English, is the title of MNISHEK’s entry for Ukraine’s national selection. The song is in Ukrainian and depicts the reality of humans in modern day life.
As if we are surrounded by delusion, a fog. However, despite the feature of modern world, not to lose ourselves, we must learn the right time to return to zero point. To realise who we are and what we do is important and necessary

Ukraine debuted in 2003 and have made it to the final every year that they have participated. They have won twice thanks to Ruslana in 2004 and Jamala in 2016. In addition, they have achieved many top ten placements throughout the years. Most recently, Mélovin represented Ukraine in Portugal this year with his song “Under the Ladder”.
