"Horehronie" is a Slovak pop song, composed by Martin Kavulič with lyrics by poet Kamil Peteraj and performed by Kristina, and it was the Slovak entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. It was performed together with backing vocalist Hana Servická and dancers Martin Mikulášek, Peter Živner, David Schwimmer & Slavomír Kolkovič. The song is an ode to the Horehronie tourism region. It became the winner of the Slovak national final Eurosong 2010 on 27 February, getting the largest share of the televote and coming second in the jury vote.[1][2]
The song failed to qualify to the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 grand final from the first semifinal on 25 May, reaching 16th place out of 17. However, a large amount of Slovakians and the Eurovision community view this as the best entry Slovakia has sent to the contest.
Versions of the track were released as a CD single.[3]
