JOY Eurovision

Be Like Farid!

Society & Culture

Last year, we all discovered that Azerbaijan goes its own way, whether it’s in how its representatives are selected or in staging a national final.

Yet this year, they certainly have a very unique way of promoting this year’s Azeri representative, Farid Mammadov via a series of workouts.

Yes, workouts, as in Jane Fonda in the 1980s. Farid’s particular workout of choice appears to be capoeira, the Brazilian martial art.

You can see a promo and more at ESCXtra.
