Saturday March 5 on France 2 took place the Eurovision France. Facing the jury and the public, Alvan and Ahez won hearts with their Breton title Fulenn. The four members of the group will therefore represent France at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in May. But who are they?

Alvan and Ahez in the footsteps of Barbara Pravi. The four band members won the Eurovision France show with their title FulennSaturday March 5 on France 2. They largely seduced both the jury – composed of Jennifer, NicolettaJoyce Jonathan, André Manoukian or Elodie Gossuin – and the public thanks to a controlled performance, mixing modernism and homage to Breton culture. Which means that France will sing in Breton next May during the Eurovision Song Contest as specified 20 minutes.

But who are the members of the group ? Alvan, a 29-year-old from Rennes, specializes in electro music. He joined the already existing group Ahez for a collaboration. The three traditional Breton singers, Marine, Sterenn D and Sterenn L, therefore mixed their style with him. Together, they composed this title inspired by a Breton legend, that of a young woman who spent her nights dancing in the forest without worrying about the gaze of others. In Breton, Fulenn means both “Sparks” and “young lady.” The meeting between their two musical universes brought them to Eurovision.
