Who is Darko Dimitrov;

Darko Dimitrov is a legend in Eurovision, who has managed to promote Balkan music, like no one else!

He was born in January 21, 1973, in Skopje, Yugoslavia (today’s North Macedonia), and is the son of the awarded musician and composer Slave Dimitrov. His family has a great history in music, with his grandfather, Blagoja Petrov Karagjule, being a famous tenor but also singer of traditional music. Darko graduated from Skopje’s music academy and is still working in the studio he made with his father and brother named “Studio Dimitrovi”.

His songs have competed in several music festivals, like Skopje Fest, MakFest, Ohrid Fest, Sunčane Skale, Budva Music Festival in Montenegro, FERAS Radio Festival in Serbia, Croatian Radio Festival, Split Festival in Croatia, Pamukkale Festival Turkey, the Golden Stag in Romania, as well as Kënga Magjike in Albania!

How will Nutsa Buzaladze’s song be selected?

We remind you that over 300 songs were submitted for Nutsa Buzaladze‘s Eurovision entry, the most of which are signed by international songwriters. Although the process of assessing the nominated songs has commenced, an obvious favourite is not yet apparent. Nutsa herself will evaluate the submissions and she will ultimately decide which song she will perform in Malmö.

The information above confirms the exclusive information we revealed a few days ago, which stated that several well-known composers—mostly from abroad—submitted their proposals to Georgian public television.

In detail, many prominent musicians, including some that have previously participated in Eurovision or national finals, mainly in Northern Europe, have sent in proposals. Their submissions contain a variety of intriguing songs, including dance tracks. Furthermore, Nutsa Buzaladze has disclosed her preference openly, saying that she wants to make people dance.

Since Georgia hasn’t been to the grand final of Eurovision since 2016, the public’s hopes have increased upon learning that Nutsa Buzaladze will represent the country in 2024. Furthermore,the country has now moved up in the betting odds, reaching as high as the 8th place.
