Junior Eurovision 2024: Listen to the Sanmarinese entry!

San Marino returns to the children’s contest for the first time after nine years. Back in September and during a charity event, RTV San Marino announced that a girl band named Idols SM will represent the country in Madrid with their song “Come Noi“. Just moments ago, “Come Noi” was released and its music video was uploaded on Junior Eurovision’s official YouTube channel.

You can listen to “Come Noi” below:

How were Idols SM selected?

The artists’ announcement took place during “Sogna ragazzo sogna“, a fundraising event held in San Marino for research into pediatric cancer diseases.

The girls were selected internally by RTV. In fact and for its return, RTV San Marino decided to choose young artists based in San Marino, after last being represented by Kamilla Ismailova, who was born and raised in Russia.

The two candidate songs, “Poesia” and “Come Noi,” were played for the audience during “Sogna Ragazzo Sogna.” “Come Noi” was chosen as th Sanmarinese entry for Junior Eurovision 2024 after a jury vote. In fact, both songs were composed by Miodio, the first Sanmarinese representative in Eurovision, back in 2008.

Idols SM consists of four girls aged between 11 and 12 years old, namely Asia Ceccoli, Giulia Rinaldi, Giorgia De Descisolo and Vera Stefania Olkhovskaya.
