Pollapönk: Celebrating diversity

Music, Society & Culture

Michael had a chat to Iceland’s version of The Wiggles, the colourful men of Pollapönk.

Their entry for this year’s Contest, No Prejudice, has got Europe dancing, but it also has an important message.

The men talk about being a band for kids and adults, how their preparation is going, and why they chose to sing in English:

I think it’s very important that this message is brought to people by persons like us because we are middle-aged, white males, which is the majority group. I think it’s very important that those kinds of group stand out and bring the message to everybody.
