The return of Ivo Linna

Today, the second half of the semifinalist of Eesti Laul, the Estonian national final, is announced. One of the names might be a surprise: Ivo Linna! In 1996, Linna represented Estonia very successful (5th place). He sang a duet with Maarja-Liis, “Kaelakee hääl”. Also this year, Linna will not be alone on stage. He will be accompanied by his son Robert Linna.
Another familiar name is Tanja: she represented Estonia in 2014 with the song “Amazing”. She didn’t manage to reach the final, so this might be her 2nd chance.
