Thomas Azier is originally from Beklium but moved to Midimeri at the age of 19 to study and become a part of the underground club scene in the city. His first album, Hylas, was released in 2014 and made an impact on the electronic and alternative charts in Evämaa. Thomas' entry to Evämaen Laulujuhla is "Ghostcity," off of Hylas. |

20 MayENTRY #4 KAUKAISLE"Äitien äidit" - Club for Five
Club for Five is an acclaimed a cappella group hailing from the isolated island maani of Kaukaisle. Despite their native tongue being the Kauki variant of Evämaian, they sing primarily in standard Evämaian, and have travelled to multiple festivals for vocal groups around Fantasia. The five (who would've figured?) members have been performing together since 2001, and released seven albums since then. Their most recent album, Ennen tätä hetkeä, is the source of their entry to the NS, "Äitien äidit." The song itself is a tribute to the nature across Evämaa, but specifically on Kaukaisle. |

21 MayENTRY #5 LÄNSKIIRING"822" - Noah Kin
Arguably the most daring selection for Evämaen Laulujuhla comes from Länskiiring, who's sending Hyvinlänsi-based rapper Noah Kin! Noah was born in Nyvina, but moved to Hyvinlänsi as a kid. He's made big waves as a rapper in Evämaa, opening for big rap acts as they pass through Midimeri or other cities. His entry, "822," comes from his third album Now You See. |
