Portugal - Luta é alegria - Homens Da Luta

18 - 22 pts in semi 1

Homens Da Luta (Fighting men) have won the Portuguese final with the song Luta é alegria (Fighting is fun).
The song is written by Vasco Duarte and Jel who are the main / founding members of the comedy troupe.

The band already entered the 2010 Portuguese selection with Luta Assim Não Dá (Fight, don't give up) where they made it to the final but were disqualified for 'not respecting the rules of the competition'.
You can download Luta É Alegria through the official Homens Da Luta forum here.
