Kazakhstan

 Kazakhstan debuted in the second edition of Your Song Contest (YoSoCo).

Dj Slon participated with the song Tschornie Glasa, which failed to enter in the final, eventually placing last in its semi-final with 9 points.

After the failure in that edition, Kazakhstan withdrew from the next edition, held in Copenhagen.

Under a new player, Kazakhstan announced its return in YoSoCo in the last moment. The representative in Bratislava was Dinara Sultan, with the song Energiya Lyubvi, which managed to bring for the first time Kazakhstan in the final.
