The popular band returned in 2011 with So Lucky finishing 12th, and in 2022 with Trenulețul (‘Train’ - featuring the Advahov Brothers) placing 7th.
Another Moldovan perennial are the SunStroke Project, perhaps best known for their viral 2010 collaboration with Olia Tira, Run Away, which featured the iconic moves of ‘Epic Sax Guy’ (then simply known as saxophonist Sergey Stepanov). Despite its post-Contest explosion in internet popularity, the entry would only achieve 22nd place at the Grand Final.
But when the SunStroke Project returned in 2017 with Hey Mamma, they would deliver Moldova’s best ever result - third place.
