Gianluca Cilia was selected this summer in a national selection to represent Malta at the 2017 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Now his song has been revealed. It is a catchy and uptempo song entitled Dawra Tond (Spinning around) and has Maltese and English words. It is composed by Emil Calleja Bayliss and Dominic Cini. They are two prolific songwriters in the Maltese music scene.

The video clip is very entertaining and Gianluca is joined by several dancers. It looks like a whole lot of fun was had when making this video. It was filmed around the narrow streets of little towns in Malta and has a unique charm.

Gianluca will be 10 years old when the Junior Eurovision takes place in Georgia in November. He is sure to capture the hearts of many viewers around Europe and Australia.

You can see the video clip for Dawra Tond below.
