Because nothing else is possible when the guest of this episode is Mira Awad, who sang for Israel together with Noa at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow.Born in Galilee to a Palestinian father and a Bulgarian mother, Mira was well-informed about political issues from an early age.As a singer she tried to represent Israel already back in 2005, but she ended up last. She then got another chance when her duet partner since several years, Noa, was offered the ticket in 2009 and insisted that Mira Awad should join her.Here we will learn all the details about this historic participation which was considered controversial in both camps and how she dealt, and still deals, with the criticism.Legend: Mira Awad מירה עווד ميرا عوض‎Song: There Must Be Another Way (Israel 2009)Host: Emil LöfströmContact: emil@schlagervannerna.seInstagram Facebookhttp//www.eurovisionlegends.se Hosted on Acast.
