We have to go back to 2014when Poland burst into the festival with force after two years of absence from the hand of Donathan & Cleo and his song My slowianie (We Slavs). The staging of the country brought three dancers-choristers and two ‘models’ who played two sexy shepherdesses -one washing clothes and the other churning butter- with a pronounced neckline and sensual gestures for the camera that managed to become the most commented of that evening.
