🇧🇹 Songs for "Rhythm of Bhutan", the Bhutanese NF for ESC Asia 2026, just got released
So, even if it's not yet time for the start of the regular Eurovision NF season, another contest is coming up this year - with its own NF season and as of now 10 Asian countries competing.
The reactions of the bubble on Discord and Reddit seem to be really positive, everyone is kind of excited Eurovision Asia happens for real after all the yearly waiting and the uncertainty we had before.
With a line up of five songs, you could say that Bhutan Kind of goes the "UMK-route" and focuses merely on quality over quantity. And this strategy seems to have paid off: With Karma Drupchu and his song "Pha Yuel' many fans have already found a big personal favourite and the other entries seem to enjoy quite some popularity in the bubble, too.
The act and song that will represent the country at Eurovision Asia 2026 in Bangkok will be selected on Tuesday 11 August at 15:00 CEST. The show can be streamed via the Eurovision Song Contest’s official YouTube channel, and European fans can also cast their votes as part of the ROTW vote.
And although I don't know how many people still visit this sub reddit, I would like to hear your opinions. What songs particularly spoke to you or made you curious? Who do you think will win the selection?
And also, we may need a flair for Eurovision Asia NFs. 😅 I think nobody expected this would actually happen, but then the official announcement came and here we are I guess.
Let this new NF season begin!
