It remains to be seen whether this electropop duo, formed by Maria "Mery" Bas and Mark Dasousa and hailing from Valencia, will also seduce the ears of the jury and Eurovision viewers on May 11.
Once again this year, the French public did not have the opportunity to choose the candidate who will represent France at Eurovision. Instead, France Télévisions chose the artist, in this case Slimane.
