Eden Alene
Eden Alene’s song, “Set Me Free,” will compete in the annual event, which was canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The IDF Musical Ensemble will perform with Eden Alene, an active soldier who will represent Israel in the next Eurovision Song Contest.
The song is titled “Feker Libi,” which translates to “The love of my life” or “My beloved” in Amharic, the official language of her country of origin.
“It is an insane honor to represent my country,” said Eden Alene, 19. “It is amazing that an Ethiopian is doing it for the first time.”
