Greece qualifies for Eurovision 2024 final

·

Greece has qualified for the Eurovision 2024 final following a performance of the song ‘Zari’ by 37-year-old Marina Satti.

Satti performed during Thursday night’s second Eurovision semi-final which is taking place in Malmo, Sweden.

The singer impressed the audience with her performance, especially the choreography alongside her backup dancers. The song featured traditional Greek music, as well as Balkan and Arabic sounds.

‘Zari,’ meaning ‘dice’ in English, was composed by Satti along with eight other Greek artists. They include Palmer Jordan Richard, Stolar Jay Lewitt, OGE, Beshkov Konstantin Plamenov, Nick Kodonas, Gino the Ghost, Vlospa and Solmeister.

Satti will next perform in the Eurovision Grand Final on May 11. She will join Cyprus’ 17-year-old and Cypriot Australian Silia Kapsis. Australia missed out this year.
