Among 16 finalists at the Dora festival, LELEK managed to stand out with a combination of powerful vocals, striking aesthetics, and a song that flirts with tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this year\u2019s Dora, the five-member ethno-pop group LELEK triumphed with the song \u201cAndromeda,\u201d winning a total of 136 points and securing the support of both the jury and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among 16 finalists at the Dora festival, LELEK managed to stand out with a combination of powerful vocals, striking aesthetics, and a song that flirts with tradition while remaining firmly within a contemporary pop framework, reports Danas.rs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DORA 2026 | LELEK - ANDROMEDA | POBJEDNI\u010cKI NASTUP\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KAu-LGeJTEs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their sound has been circulating on social media for some time, where they broke through with covers of traditional songs, but \u201cAndromeda\u201d marks their most ambitious step so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Particular attention has been drawn to the author behind the music, Serbian singer-songwriter Zorja, born Zorica Paji\u0107. She worked on the music for the winning entry together with her husband and also appears in the song as a backing vocalist. This is not their first collaboration: the song \u201cTane,\u201d which they previously co-wrote, continues to live on social media, with fans commenting that it deserved a festival opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zorja has not yet spoken publicly about her participation at Dora, but her authorial signature has already sparked public interest, especially since \u201cAndromeda\u201d carries a strong symbolic layer. The inspiration comes from a specific tradition of Catholic women from central Bosnia, tattoos known as sicanje or bocanje, a practice of permanent skin puncturing dating back to the Ottoman period and characteristic precisely of women from that region. In the song, that historical motif takes on a contemporary, almost mythical framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LELEK is a relatively young group, founded in September 2024. Its members are Judita \u0160torga, Marina Ramljak, Korina Olivia Rogi\u0107, Lara Brtan, and Klaudija Pulek \u2013 five vocalists who create a recognizable blend of traditional heritage and modern pop expression. Dora 2025 was their big stage, and Eurovision will be the test of how far \u201cAndromeda\u201d can go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/pedophile-arrested-in-new-belgrade-he-touched-himself-on-his-private-parts-in-front-of-children-then-beat-a-boy-with-a-pole\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">PEDOPHILE ARRESTED IN NEW BELGRADE: He touched himself on his private parts in front of children, then beat a boy with a pole!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/only-seven-days-left-nis-submitted-a-new-request-for-a-special-license-from-the-us-department-of-the-treasury\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">ONLY SEVEN DAYS LEFT: NIS submitted a new request for a special license from the US Department of the Treasury!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/horror-in-ivanjica-dangerous-poison-scattered-on-the-streets-several-dogs-died-human-health-also-endangered\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HORROR IN IVANJICA: Dangerous poison scattered on the streets, several dogs died, human health also endangered!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/miomir-in-the-quarter-finals-kecmanovic-achieved-an-important-victory-in-dallas-over-the-24th-ranked-tennis-player-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">MIOMIR IN THE QUARTER-FINALS: Kecmanovi\u0107 achieved an important victory in Dallas over the 24th-ranked tennis player in the world!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-greatest-serbian-diplomat-heres-why-jovan-ristic-is-known-as-the-thomas-jefferson-of-serbia-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THE GREATEST SERBIAN DIPLOMAT: Here\u2019s Why Jovan Risti\u0107 Is Known as the Thomas Jefferson of Serbia!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-birth-of-the-nemanjic-dynasty-the-story-of-stefan-the-first-crowned-and-the-creation-of-the-first-serbian-kingdom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THE BIRTH OF THE NEMANJI\u0106 DYNASTY: The story of Stefan the First-Crowned and the creation of the first Serbian kingdom!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><strong>Source<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>:  <a href=\"https:\/\/n1info.rs\/magazin\/showbiz\/hrvatska-izabrala-pesmu-za-evroviziji-2026-muziku-potpisuje-srpska-kantautorka\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">N1<\/a>; <strong>Foto<\/strong>: Printscreen YouTube<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Croatia has selected its representative for Eurovision 2026.
