Many of the above acts will most likely appear in national selections and could well take to the Eurovision stage in the future.
One act from the 2012 edition of Suncane Skale was Tahmina Niyazova from Tajikistan. Her song was called Boom Boom Boom. She worked then with Seyran Ismayilkhanov from Azerbaijan on the song. He was in the 2010 and 2011 Azeri national selections. Her promotional video was also recorded in Montenegro. Tahmina has said she will submit a song for Russia for Eurovision 2014. She would love to represent her country, Tajikistan, if they have the opportunity to enter the Eurovision family in the future, too. In the meantime Tahmina has released a brand new single. It is called Fairytale About Love. The music is by Ahmad Bakaev and lyrics by Danijel Stojadinovic.
