GreenJolly ( Ukrainian: Ґринджоли, Gryndzholy) was a Ukrainian hip hop duo. They represented Ukraine at the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest with the song " Razom nas bahato", which became an unofficial anthem of the Ukrainian Orange Revolution. [1]
GreenJolly consisted of Roman Kalyn and Roman Kostyuk, who originate from the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Western Ukraine. [2]
After receiving a wild card to the final of the Ukrainian Eurovision pre-selection, Evrobachennya 2005 – Natsionalyni vidbir, the duo was chosen to represent their country at the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv, with the song "Razom nas bahoto". [3] In conjunction with various Ukrainian radio stations, the band wrote the song to support protests against electoral fraud that took place during the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election. [2] However, the track had to be reworked in order to comply with contest regulations, and the European Broadcasting Union. [4] [5] In the final, the duo finished 19th with 30 points, tied with Sweden. [6]
Following their Eurovision appearance, the group disbanded. [7]
