Hungary chose the song for the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 – Video

This year the Eurovision Song Contest takes place in Tel Aviv, and many countries have selected the song which represents their country including Hungary as well. The Hungarian audience voted Joci Pápai’s song to be the song of Hungary in 2019 on Saturday.

Szeretlek Magyarország reported that Joci Pápai’s song titled Az én apám (My father) got the highest score during the competition and became Hungary’s favourite song in 2019.

The song was composed and written by Pápai and features beautiful Hungarian folk music sounds which makes it even more recognisable because Pápai’s songs always have folk music motives.

Another huge success for the singer is that he wrote history because he is the first person in Hungary to represent the country at the contest for the second time in three years after 2017 with the song Origo.
