La Perdita Generacio (Sweden)

La Perdita Generacio (LPG, "The Lost Generation") is a radical and green band without national boundaries. The group has existed since 1995, but first started singing in Esperanto in 2003 during the IJK, after changes in the makeup of the band and after learning Esperanto. At times fast and ironic, at times gentle and thought-provoking, LPG is evolving its own unique sound at the boundary between world music, pop, and chansons.

The band has already performed in Russia, Sweden, Poland, Estonia, the Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia, and Cuba. Their most significant part of their songs is their lyrics, which reflect the band's political activities in Sweden's alternative ecological and Green movement.

Further information

Asorti (Lithuania)

Asorti is a family from Lithuania who make music together. The group has often given concerts at Esperanto meetings, for example, in Latvia, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Hungary, Slovakia, and Belgium. Their repertoire contains pieces in various styles, and includes both original Esperanto music and translations of well-known, popular songs. Their concert will certainly make you join in with singing and dancing!

The group called “Sepa” (Seventh) has also taken part in this year's Eurovision Song Context with the song:

Manŭel (Italy)

Manual is an electrotechnical engineer. Two years ago, after retiring, he returned to the Esperanto movement and has already published 2 albums ("Duonvoĉe... tutkore" and "Ĉu plu ekzistas Amo?"), with both original and translated songs. The topics of his songs are generally love, friendship, solidarity, or respect for nature and the environment: he believes that the time will come, when all of humanity will form "one big familial round" (to quote the Espernanto hymn La Espero).
