The first of the nine songs competing in Eurovision Song Contest \u2013 Das Deutsche Finale 2026 has been released.<\/p>\n
\u201cCiao Ragazzki\u201d by Ragazzki has been released with just over a month to go before the German national final. Ragazzki is formed of YouTuber Marti Fischer and musician David \u201cMiirtek\u201d Starosciak, who are collaborating together for the first time. They describe their song as a combination of Southern Italy and Eastern Europe. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On their reveal as competing in the German selection, the duo commented:<\/p>\n
We want to get the audience fired up with Italo-disco and Polska-pop and celebrate Europe! With our banging 80s disco beats, we\u2019ll have all the nonnas and babunias on their feet. For us, the Eurovision Song Contest is a stage where not only music, but a complete artistic vision can unfold. To play on this stage and be seen there makes a dream come true.<\/p>\n

Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest+<\/p>\n
Germany was one of seven countries to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. The country has taken part in every contest since then, apart from in 1996, when they failed to make it through the qualifying round. To date Germany has won the contest twice. The first time was in 1982 when Nicole sang \u201cEin Bisschen Frieden\u201d in Harrogate, which later became a global hit. Germany didn\u2019t win again until 2010 when Lena sang \u201cSatellite\u201d in Oslo. She received 9 sets of 12 points, scoring 246 points overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first of the nine songs competing in Eurovision Song Contest \u2013 Das Deutsche Finale 2026 has been…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":387342,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,144093,33958,146222,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-387341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-eurovision-song-contest-das-deutsche-finale-2026","tag-headline","tag-ragazzki","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=387341"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387341\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/387342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=387341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=387341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=387341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
