Jean-Marc Monnerville - Eurovision

Eurovision

Kali sung his own composition Monte la riviƩ (Going up the River) in the contest that was held in Malmoe. Accompanied with fellow musicians his song was the absolute surprise. Kali was marvellous on stage playing his banjo but the juries did not see a winner within him. The French entry ranked 8th among 22. His performance though, gave him popularity back home in France and helped the sales of his next album Lese la te tounen (Let the Earth Move). In 1994 he won an award from the Sacem (French Association of Songwriters and Composers) and one of the songs of the album was credited as the Best Song of The Year.
