Svetlana Agarval will represent Belarus at the 2020 Türkvizyon Song Contest online contest in December. The the title of her song is Meni Anla (Understand me). It will be performed in the Azerbaijani language.

Meni Anla is composed by Gunesh (who has taken part in several Belarussian Eurovision national selections).

Svetlana was originally chosen to represent Belarus at the 2017 Türkvizyon contest but the festival did not take place for some reason and this year the competition has been revived. So finally Svetlana will get to showcase her unique talents on an international platform.

Svetlana is a talented singer and she is unique because she sings with an Indian style with exotic rhythms. Her music is contemporary and with a Bollywood style influence. She is very popular to Belarussian audiences. She has taken part in top festivals such as the 2011 Slavianski Bazaar and the Eastern Bazaar in Yalta, Crimea in 2012.

Svetlana has released several successful music videos and her latest song, Kak ty bez menya (How are you without me?), you can hear below.

ESC Covers will bring you more about Svetlana’s song, Meni Anla, when the track is available.
