Doinita Gherman has just represented Moldova at the annual 2016 Baltic Song Contest held in Karlshamn in Sweden. She was accompanied on stage by the talented songwriting sisters from Sweden, Ylva & Linda Persson. The girls took the coveted ‘Audience prize’.

The contest was held over two days where 10 artists from nine different countries competed. On the first day the acts performed two songs. Doinita was accompanied on stage by Ylva & Linda, who were the composers of Irresistible, and were backing vocalists here. The second song was composed by Doinita herself and titled Hora pe toloacă. The international and Swedish jury selected one song for the acts to perform on the second evening. The second night event is televised by Polish tv.

There were some ‘hiccups’ before the show when Doinita’s luggage went missing in transit containing special traditional Moldovan costumes for her and Ylva and Linda. Thankfully, the luggage (and the costumes) arrived just minutes before the show.

Doinita has a strong voice and is an experienced artist specialising in pop and folk/pop music.

Ylva and Linda had six songs in various Eurovision national selections in 2016.

The song Irresistible was in the 2016 Moldovan Eurovision national selection (O melodie pentru Europa) and finished in a highly respectable seventh place.

See the performance of Hora pe toloacă below.
