As the excitement builds for the Luxembourg Song Contest on January 25th, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Carmen and Diego from Rhythmic Soulwave, a soulful six-piece band making waves with their unique blend of rhythm, jazz, and camaraderie. Representing one of Luxembourg’s most diverse and passionate musical acts, they’re vying for a chance to showcase their talents on the grand Eurovision stage.

The band, born from the vibrant connections formed at the Conservatory of Luxembourg, brings together musicians from varied backgrounds, all united by a shared love of music. Their contest entry, Stronger, is a labor of love, creativity, and resilience. Written by Carmen during a challenging period in her life, the song has transformed into an uplifting anthem of empowerment, thanks to the band's collaborative energy and the production finesse of Carmen’s sister, Naomi.

While balancing rehearsals, day jobs, and the contest’s demands, the band has embraced every moment of this journey. “It’s been intense, but good intense,” Carmen shares, reflecting on the whirlwind of interviews and production meetings. Diego adds, “We’re incredibly proud of this song and the magic we’ve created together. Playing it live is a joy.”

Their journey is more than just music, it’s about celebrating diversity and unity. “Luxembourg has given us so much,” Carmen reflects. “We want to showcase how different backgrounds, ages, and perspectives can come together to create something beautiful.”

As Rhythmic Soulwave gears up for the final, they promise an unforgettable performance that captures the essence of Luxembourg’s multicultural spirit.
