Justs fra Letland har en særlig Eurovision-hilsen til Danmark!

I aften er det tid til den anden semifinale i årets Eurovision Song Contests, hvor Danmark og Lighthouse X deltager sammen med 17 andre lande i fælles håb om at vinde en af pladserne i finalen.
Blandt dagens deltagende artister er Letlands Justs, der skal synge deres bidrag 'Heartbeat'.
I den forbindelse har Justs en særlig hilsen til danskerne!

Sangen Heartbeat er skrevet af Letlands vinder fra sidste år, Aminata, der dengang brød med mange års bad luck og tog Letland til finalen og blev nummer 6 med sangen 'Love Injected'.

I år har hun skrevet den lettiske sang og har sammen med Justs skabt et powerteam. Som et par nøje afbalancerede petanguekugler er de klar til at kaste sig ud i kampen om grisen.

Husk at Danmark kan stemme i semifinalen i aften.

Today Team Heartbeat went to the Lavian Embassy

The Latvian Ambassador Gints Jegermanis, a lovely man and Eurovision fan as well, welcomed once again the Latvian delegation into his house for a cosy mingle with friends of the Embassy. 

We met him and his family back in 2012 in Copenhagen, when Latvia was competing in Eurovision in Malmö. At that time he was the Latvian ambassador in Denmark.
It was great to meet him again and like last time the evening's event started in the backyard with an intimate concert with both Justs and Aminata. Afterwards, the embassy had arranged a Swedish/Latvian "Fika" with sweet specialities from Latvia.

Fun fact: This is the place where the Latvian group Brainstorm also performed back in 2000. We were told it's considered "holy ground" for the Latvians, since Brainstorm not only started the Latvian journey within the Eurovision Song Conetst, but also came in in 3rd.
Two years later Latvia won the contest with Marie N.
