Urban Symphony - Rändajad
2009
Urban Symphony is an Estonian music group that represented Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with the song "Rändajad", finishing in 6th place with 129 points.
In autumn 2007, Sandra Nurmsalu took part in the singing talent show called 2 takti ette, biennially held by the Eesti Televisioon and broadcast nationwide. In a week of the contest, the contestants were tasked to form bands each on their own and each to produce a performance with it. Nurmsalu had studied the violin for two years in the Georg Ots Music School, therefore she decided to use one again. Nurmsalu turned to her former school, where she was introduced to Mann Helstein playing the viola, Johanna Mängel playing the cello, a female contrabass player and a male keyboardist.
At the end of the series, Nurmsalu, Helstein and Mängel agreed to continue their collaboration. Mängel brought the new cello player Mari Möldre to the band. In the same while, music producer Sven Lõhmus invited the group to work with him. The first track the team completed was "Rändajad" for the contest of Eesti Laul, the Estonian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009. It was selected as the winner entirely by a public televote in the finale, and ended in 6th place in the Contest.
In 2010, Urban Symphony announced that they would be disbanding. The announcement was due to Nurmsalu wishing to prioritise motherhood, while the group's other members wished to continue their studies and pursue other interests.
"Rändajad" received a total of 67,9% yes votes!

have you ever physically visited another iterator?
[SLS]: Ah, yes! I visit FB frequently! We are connected by bridge, so it's easy for us to hang out. FB is always really happy to see me...and likewise! Usually I make the trip over, but FB comes over here sometimes too. :)

i just switched my browser to firefox (from brave bc i’m a freak and they were kind of changing the game tracking protection wise like 4 years ago) and it took a mere 15 minutes to port everything over perfectly ✨ i sound like an ad sorry lmao but i’ve been wanting to do this forever and was prevented by needing chromium’s ability to use different profiles in the same browser for my old job. which apparently already got fixed by firefox getting containers. whatever i’m a new man now
