It’s not often that an artist can say their first big gig was the Eurovision Song Contest, but twins Tural and Turan Baghmanov will soon be saying exactly that.

The boys have always loved music, and influenced from a young age by their father, they decided to start a band - The Red Jungle. 

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic it proved tough to find gigs at first, and so with no opportunity to perform in concert halls, the brothers decided to make the world their stage. They headed to the squares and parks of Baku, performing on the streets and drawing in their own audiences.

Inspired by ‘60s and ‘70s music and styles, the boys applied to represent Azerbaijan at Eurovision “simply to try, as fortune favours the brave.” It certainly does. The twins were chosen with their song Tell Me More, which they co-wrote with friends Nihad Aliyev and Tunar Taghiyev.

Lyrics of Tell Me More

Tell me more about me,
You, us
Tell me you love me, baby
More than I trust
And I just want to know:
How do you feel about us
Right now?

I don't know if I'm someone or someone is me,
I’m running from the fate and I’m giving up my dream
I'm carrying all the pain
And the sorrow that’s in vain
All the games you think I play
Are my ways of staying sane

I shout it from the hills up high
I’ve nothing, only tears to cry
If I ever learn again to feel the way I did
I’ll die from the emotions that I kept down for years, baby

Tell me more about me,
You, us
Tell me you love me, baby
More than I trust
And I just want to know:
How do you feel about us
Right now?

I want to buy a land a thousand miles away
From the city that I've never even chosen.
I think the reason why is all because of people
Who treat you like a fool and make you wonder for the reason
Now is the time I am passing by the streets
And the places that we used to go to

We thought we'd be back pretty soon but never did
And distance between you and me gets so damn more.

Let me tell you one thing, baby
It may change your all thoughts about us
And you won’t need to worry again, too.
So, let me tell you if you're ready,
Hear me out, baby: let’s go crazy,
I have something that you’re looking for
And that is love
Love
Love

Tell me more about me,
You, us
Tell me you love me, baby
More than I trust
And I just want to know:
How do you feel about us
Right now?
