Citi Zēni: "We wanted to push the limits of this particular topic: how far can we go with it?"

Have you wanted to find out the inspiration for that outrageous opening line of Eat Your Salad? The answer may surprise you.

A few weeks ago, I chatted to viral Latvian rap sensations Citi Zēni about their participation in Supernova, and uncovered some important information in the run-up to the show.

Thank you so much to the band for all being present on the Zoom call – it was a pleasure to chat to you guys, and I will find a way to vote for you!

Here is the interview in full:

I'm Joe. I was born in Copenhagen, grew up in London, speak French and Spanish and have been a near-lifelong fan of Eurovision.

I accidentally stumbled across Eurovision after staying up past my bedtime in 2005, then got hooked in 2009, discovered semi-finals in 2011, then national finals in 2016, and now, it's my favourite sport (you can bet on it, after all). I'm also a newly-huge fan of Sanremo, which means I've inadvertantly learned Italian given about 80% of my playlists are made up of those artists.

My all-time favourite Eurovision songs are Sergio Dalma's "Bailar pegados" (Spain 1991) and Lordi's "Hard Rock Hallelujah" (Finland 2006).

You can find me at @SirBleasdale on the socials (Instagram / Twitter), and at www.joebleasdale.com.
