Moldova: VOVI ROBIAN withdraw from Etapa Națională 2024!

TRM announced two weeks ago that Aliona Moon and Milla had decided to withdraw from the national selection for undisclosed reasons. There is one more withdrawal today, with only a few days until the Etapa Națională 2024 auditions, which will determine the ten finalists in the selection.

The VOVI ROBIAN band has decided to withdraw from the competition and will not be participating in the auditions scheduled for January 13. The band’s withdrawal, which was submitted to the broadcaster by its frontman, Vladimir Ciubotaru, is due to a member’s health issues.

We remind you that the band was advanced to the auditions’ stage of the competition with their song “Robotul Vovi“.
