The big breakthrough came in 2012 with the song "Dansa pausa" which made the whole of Sweden... yes dance and then pause.
After that, the group Panetoz, which consists of Nebeyu Baheru, Johan Hirvi, Njol Ismail Badije, Pa Modou Badije and Daniel Nzinga, has released more music and participated in Melodifestivalen twice, in 2014 and 2016.
This year, the quintet is back in the competition with the colorful contribution "On my way", which is about longing for something good.
- It's about getting from one point to another.
It could be that you're going to meet your love, go to a big party or the world's most fantastic arena thing, it's really very simple, says Pa Modou Badije.
Got unexpected reactions
But for Kulturnyheterna, the group tells that they received reactions that the song would be about something else, more precisely about being on the way to a sexual climax, something that, among others, Aftonbladet's Melodifestival reporter Tobbe Ek commented on.
- It has become a bit of a talking point there, says Njol Ismail Badije.
Panetoz emphasizes that it is up to everyone to make their own interpretation of a musical work and that they cannot be weighed down by what others think and think.
- It's a bit of what we tried to leave behind since we started the band because if we had thought, we wouldn't be making music today, says Njol Ismail Badije.
"Heard much dirtier songs"
In addition, it is far from the dirtiest that has been in the competition, according to member Nebeyu Baheru.
- I have heard much dirtier songs, both in Mello and on the top list, he says.
- And we love them too, adds Johan Hirvi.
