Serbia was represented in Turin by Konstrakta (Констракта) with the song In Corpore Sano (latin for In a healthy body*). The song is written by Ana Đurić (who is Konstrakta) and Milovan Bošković. Đurić and Bošković are both in the band Zemlje Gruva who have been bringing Serbian reggae and r'n'b since 2007.
In Corpore Sano is a part of a 3-song work Triptih. The full video is here. Be sure to set the translation (cc button). Fascinating stuff. Even Meghan Markle gets a mention.
*The song is sung in Serbian and Latin. It opens with the line "A weak mind in a healthy body" but in Latin and in reverse.
In Corpore Sano was released as a digital single on February 11
The acoustic version was released as a digital single on September 30. It had already been included on the promo.
The version on the official album is slightly different most (but hardly) notable at 1:30. (see comments)

ReplyDeleteversion on the ESC compilation album is a bit different from what is on streaming services, there is some difference but not quite noticable. karaoke version on the official album is revamped too
ReplyDeleteThere is also a physical promo release that includes the song, the karaoke version and the acoustic version. See: https://www.evropesma.org/2022/05/osvoji-cd-konstrakte-in-corpore-sano
ReplyDeleteThe version on the Eurovision compilation album has additional echo in the vocals, specially notable during Konstrakta's solo parts.
ReplyDeleteNot sure when this happened but the Acoustic version has been added to streaming platforms: https://music.apple.com/pl/album/in-corpore-sano-acoustic/1646957277?i=1646957279
ReplyDeleteThe release date stated is September 2022 but I have a strong feeling it wasn't there at that time.
