Furbaz are a Swiss vocal group consisting of members Marie Louise Werth, Giusep Quinter, Ursin Defuns and Gion Defuns, who perform mainly in the Romansh language. The group was formed in 1983 in Disentis, Graubünden, remaining active until the early 1990s. They then reunited in 2004, and continue performing together. Furbaz are best known internationally for their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 1989.
Furbaz first took part in the Swiss Eurovision selection in 1987, finishing third with "Da cumpignia".[1] They tried again the following year, coming second (behind Celine Dion) with "Sentiments".[2] Their third entry, during the 1989 contest, "Viver senza tei" ("To Live Without You"), ended in victory, with the group going on to represent Switzerland in the 34th Eurovision Song Contest.[3] As a result of Celine Dion's Eurovision victory the previous year, the 1989 contest was held on home ground in Lausanne on 6 May, when "Viver senza tei" finished in 13th place of the 22 entries.[4] The song is the only Eurovision entry to date sung in Romansh.
