RTÉ given first play
K Muni and ND’s song was first heard on the Ryan Tubridy show on Monday morning. A 20-second snippet of the song was played, alongside the remaining five competing artists at Eurosong this year. Following this, the song was made available for streaming and downloading.
Tubridy also gave added details regarding Eurosong 2023, which is due to take place on February 3rd. It had already been announced that the in-house panel will not cast a vote, Instead, a national jury will join the international jury and the public vote, which will be used to determine the winning song. Six songs are to take part in the selection, being held as a Late Late Show special.
Who are K Muni and ND?
K Muni and ND are the stage names of Kofi Appiah and Nevlonne Dampare, both based in the small central town of Longford. Both artists are signed to Academy Records in Longford, and are up and coming in the newly-emerging Irish rap scene. Their story of breaking into the industry is chronicled in the documentary “Welcome to Longford”. The duo’s potential Eurovision entry “Down in the Rain” tells about the frustration of not getting the recognition it deserves. Speaking about the song, K Muni and ND said:
It would mean the world to us to represent Ireland. We remember watching Eurovision as kids with our families, so to think we could have the people of Ireland, our people, tuned in to cheer us and our country on is incredible.
