Two Australian acts are vying not just for the spotlight at Eurovision this year but for ultimate musical victory in Malmö, Sweden.
South Australia's electronic duo Electric Fields and Sydney singer Silia Kapsis, who will be representing Cyprus, are gearing up for what promises to be a fiercely contested battle in the music industry's equivalent of the Olympics.
Electric Fields, composed of vocalist Zaachariaha Fielding and keyboard player and producer Michael Ross, kicked off their rehearsals this Thursday with a splash.
Known for their electric performances, they are set to make history by incorporating Indigenous languages into their Eurovision performance, a first for any Australian act.
Fielding, in a display of cultural pride, will perform parts of their song One Mikali (One Blood) in Yankunytjatjara, the language of the Anangu peoples, adding a profound depth to their act.
