About Sw@da x Niczos
Folktronica duo Wiktor Sw@da Szczygieł and Nika “Niczos” Jurczuk have been making music in their local Podlasian microlanguage, spoken in their local villages in the Podlasia region of Eastern Poland, since 2023, and in 2024 released their album “#INDAWOODS” – which features their Polskie Kwalifikacje entry Lusterka. The pair describe their music as “Podlasie Bounce”
Poland’s Eurovision Journey
In 1994, Poland made their debut at the Eurovision Song Contest represented by Edyta Górniak with the song “To nie ja!” and placed 2nd, Poland’s best result at the contest to date. Since then, Poland has participated 26 times, qualifying for the Grand Final 16 times.
Poland selected Luna and “The Tower” to represent them at Eurovision 2024. She received 35 points in the televote, placing twelfth in the first semifinal.
