About 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, the duo 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.

Ireland’s Eurovision journey
In 1965, Ireland made their debut in the Eurovision Song Contest with Butch Moore and the song “Walking the Streets in the Rain”, which managed to place 6th. Since their debut, Ireland has participated 55 times (making the Grand Final 45 times), and has won the competition seven times, which is currently the record for most wins.
Ireland’s latest Eurovision participation saw them being represented by Brooke Scullion, with her song “That’s Rich”. She placed 15th in the semi-final, receiving 47 points from the jury and televote.
