The indie pop band Lake Malawi will represent the Czech Republic at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv. They will perform the song ‘Friend of a friend’ for the central European nation.
Broadcaster CT announced the winner of their intern preselection. An international jury determined 50% of the result. Jury members included Ira Losco and Alma, and several other former Eurovision participants. Viewers all around the globe got the chance to vote in the Eurovision-app for their favourite, to determine the other 50% of the vote.
Lake Malawi was the favourite of the international jury. They finished in second place in the app vote, but altogether it was enough to win the ticket.
