The Singing Doctor, Gianluca Bezzina is the winner of the third edition of Mużika Mużika with his love song ‘Sabiħa’.

The song, written by Joe Julian Farrugia, and musical arrangements by Philip Vella received 122 points in total. It also was the song with the most votes from the judges and the public. Lisa Gauci and Drakard came in 2nd place with 99 points for their song ‘Jekk Mhux Int’.

The high-standard festival is organised by Festivals Malta. All songs are sung live in the Maltese language and the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra accompanies the singers. This year, the festival was hosted by Keith Demicoli, Claire Aguis, and Moira Delia.

During the final show, last year’s winner Kurt Calleja sang his winning song ‘Bla Tarf’ as a duet with Ira Losco during televoting.

Gianluca Bezzina, a doctor by profession, represented Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest 10 years ago.
