27 февраля 2017

By Evgeny Perlin: With 70 days left before the start of the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev, Belarus’ representative NAVIBAND has done an official photoshoot in Zaslavl near Minsk. The photos will represent the band in all official Eurovision media, promotional materials, websites and social networks.

The photoshoot featured a book by Belarusian printing pioneer Francysk Skaryna. The musicians were allowed to hold the rarity for just a few minutes. According to scientists, this year marks the 800th anniversary of the Belarusian nation. Historian Adam Maldis has discovered a document mentioning the word “Belarusian” for the first time in 1217. Therefore, the photographers were tasked with depicting the millennial heritage in a new format.

NAVIBAND’s outfits designed by Sergei Verinsky featured Belarusian national ornaments and patterns.

This week, the band is planning to finalise the arrangement of the contest song Story of My Life to present a new version on Friday.
