SLOVENIAN ENTRY

Panda is returning! The rock band Panda is one of the few Slovenian bands active for over 30 years.
The band was founded in 1986. They have taken part in many song competitions and festivals, including EMA.
They took home two first-place trophies.

The song I decided to go for this time is called Hvala za denar, translating to Thanks For The Money.
It was released in 1996.

Panda - Hvala za denar

Continuing the theme of "they could have been sent earlier, but I was afraid that it would flop":

Diana

"Skatert'yu doroga"
Translation: "Good riddance"

LATVIA

It's summer, so time for a summer song. A pop-rock ballad about love in this case. This song was recorded in 1979, but the song itself is actually older - it was first used as a soundtrack in latvian 1967 movie "Elpojiet Dziļi". But back then it was performed by the actors of the movie (in spoiler I've added the scene from the movie), so in 1979 Menuets were the first professional musicians to perform this song, which is why it's usually credited as their song.

Menuets - "Viņi Dejoja Vienu Vasaru"

Menuets - "They Danced One Summer"

(1:36+ for recap)
