    A few words for Bizkebi

    Bizkebi is a Georgian pop group conc of Giorgi Shiolashvili, Mariam Kikuashvili, and Mariam Tatulashvili. The trio first became famous as children when they won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song “Bzz…”, giving Georgia its first victory in that competition.

    They became known for their fun, energetic performances. In their 2008 winning performance they wore black-and-yellow bee costumes and sang partly in a made-up “buzzing” language, which made their act very memorable.

    After their victory, the group performed in many Eurovision-related events and occasionally reunited for special performances. They appeared as guest performers at Junior Eurovision 2025 in Tbilisi and other anniversary shows before returning to the main Eurovision stage.
