The other scandinavian countries have great pop/electric/house artists, so why does Finland have an other "style", why doesnt Finland have any/many great electric/pop/house artists?

I'm sure nobody would have any objection with that especially since the Festival of Music is for fun and can easily be more flexible given that it is in the best possible spirit you want to present this music Excellent!

Do you have any idea? Well. Denmark doesn't have that much pop succes internationally. We've had 5 songs on the billboards top 10. It is pretty unique that we have 2 pop artists with international succes with both MØ and Lukas Graham having top 10 places. About Finland I don't really know why their non-metal artists doesn't manage as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldve given you 12 points anyway, but why didnt you chose "Keeping Your Head Up" instead?

Wanderer 1,726 Posted May 17, 2016 #489 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Ibeyi are Cuban-born, Paris based twin sisters Lisa-Kaïndé and Naomi Diaz. They sing in French, English, Spanish and Yoruba, which was brought to Cuba by West African slaves. Ibeyi honor their father’s legacy, Cuban jazz percussionist Miguel "Angá" Díaz through their percussive production. Beatsmith Naomi plays both the cajón and the batá while Lisa-Kaindé plays the piano and sings the main vocals. And here is the song that enchanted me... (Album name: Ibeyi, released in July 28th, 2015) Ibeyi - River Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they have other successful songs or were they a "one-hit-wonder"? I think this song has been used in tons of movies, but i never realized that it was created by a finnish band. Edit: When i am done watching the video, it shows "Pillowtalk" by Zayn in the bottom right corner, this song has one of the "best" music videos ever ... and Jimmy Fallon also did a lip sync battle with it.
