It was in 2007 when Serbia won the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time as an independent country with Molitva, performed in Serbian by Marija Serifovic. Six years later, the song gets a new cover in Spanish this time performed by Seven Kings, the new generation of the legendary Gipsy Kings.

The sons of the originals members of the Gipsy Kings have also covered another Eurovision evergreen, Volare or as the original title is Nel blu dipinto di blu. Volare was Italy’s 1958 entry which, although it came in third place, has become one of the most popular songs of all time internationally.

The Seven Kings will be performing on August 31 together with Marija Serifovic at the Cantat Novi Sad festival

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
