Greek-Armenian singer Athena Manoukian has sparked speculations about her potential return to the Eurovision stage. Known for her selection as Armenia’s representative in 2020 with the song “Chains on You”, Athena’s Eurovision journey was cut short when the contest was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, she appears to be contemplating a comeback through Armenia’s national selection for Eurovision 2025, Depi Evratesil.

Athena’s connection to Eurovision extends beyond 2020. She first gained recognition as a participant in the Greek national selection for Junior Eurovision 2008. This year, it seems that she’s eager to chase her Eurovision dream once again.

In the last 24 hours, Athena has shared several Eurovision-themed stories on Instagram, sparking excitement among fans. In a standout interactive story, Athena directly engaged her followers by asking, “Babies, I haven’t applied for Depi Evratesil yet. Should I?” sparking speculations about her potential entry into the competition.

With the submission deadline for Depi Evratesil set for January 10, Athena has a short time to make her decision. Do you think Athena Manoukian is the ideal contestant to represent Armenia at Eurovision 2025? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Eurovision 2024: Armenia’s first rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

One of the two Caucasian second semi-final competitors will go up next. More precisely, Ladaniva, the representatives of Armenia in Eurovision 2024, just wrapped up their first on-stage rehearsal. On May 9, they will play the folk song “Jako” on the stage of Malmö Arena.

Who are Ladaniva?

LADANIVA is made up of Armenian vocalist Jaklin Baghdasaryan and French multi-instrumentalist Louis Thomas.

From traditional Balkan melodies to the rhythms of maloya, jazz and reggae, the duo’s songs have been said to transcend borders, blending traditional Armenian tunes with inspirations drawn from their extensive travels across Latin America, Africa and Réunion Island.

Founded in 2019, Ladaniva initially gained viral acclaim with their hit song Vay Aman (2020), which showcased their fresh style and innovative approach to world music.

The group released their eponymous debut album under the French label PIAS in 2023.

The Rehearsal 

The official video for this has lots of sass and energy, and that spirit has definitely been brought to the Malmö stage, along with Jaklin’s costume and trademark plaits. There’s also an island of brightly coloured plinths in the middle of the stage, where Ladaniva’s band stand on different levels playing their instruments.

In the second half the LED wall and cube graphics kick in, with Armenian motifs and lots of chickens. The whole thing is a riot of colour and energy.
