Naviband

Naviband (stylized as NAVI) is a Belarusian musical duo from Minsk, composed of Ksenia Zhuk (vocalist, keyboard, and songwriter) and Arciom Lukjanienka (vocalist, guitar, and songwriter). They are known for performing songs primarily in the Belarusian language and have represented Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest twice.

Naviband was formed in 2013. They initially gained recognition in Belarus through performances at various music festivals and concerts. Their music blends elements of folk, pop, and rock, creating a distinctive sound that appeals to a broad audience.

In 2016, Naviband participated in the Belarusian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Heta ziamla" (This Land), finishing fourth. They returned in 2017 and won the selection with their song "Historyja majho žyccia" (The Story of My Life), becoming the first act to represent Belarus at Eurovision with a song sung entirely in the Belarusian language. At the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 held in Kyiv, Ukraine, they qualified for the grand final and finished in 17th place.

Naviband participated again in the Belarusian national selection for Eurovision 2018 with the song "Tam, dzie nas niama" (Where We Are Not) but did not win. They continue to release music and perform actively in Belarus and internationally, promoting Belarusian culture and language through their art. The band has released multiple albums and singles throughout their career.
