Selection

The French broadcaster, Antenne 2, held an internal selection to select the French representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, held in Malmö, Sweden. They selected Kali to sing for France at the contest with the song "Monté la riviè" (Go up the river), composed by Kali and sung in French and Haitian Creole, a creole language spoken on the island of Haiti. This was the first time that the French language was not entirely in French.
