According to some rumors, Venezuela sent a song to the Board of Own Americavision Song Contest. But a delegation from Guadeloupe has also been received so the night won't be very peaceful... Breaking news: it seems that Guadeloupe took the lead unless we have another confirmation from the official host tonight. In both cases, a song will be revealed soon.

Faarrow will represent Canada in the US!
CBC has just announced that the sister duo Faarrow would be representing the country on their 3rd participation, which will be held in New York.
Faarrow is a duo made up of sisters Iman and Siham Hashi, who were both born in Mogadishu, Somalia. Due to civil war at the time, the two fled with their family to Toronto, Canada, as refugees and have been living there ever since. After they decided to pursue music careers they eventually went to the United States and started making their own music and have released their first EP, Lost.
The duo also actively serve as spokespeople for the UN Refugee agency and are involved in humanitarian projects.
The duo will be singing their song Chasing Highs in New York. The duo have stated that while they are representing Canada, they will also be "representing their home country" as Somalia is not competing. Take a listen below;
(1:44-) Best of luck to Faarrow and all other nations in New York!

However, since you are 14th in the waiting list, you have to wait a little bit until other above you will pick a country for next edition. There are more free countries at this point I'll contact you if there is an offer
