Glen Vella has been named the winner of the 2021 edition of Muzika Muzika -Festival Kanzunetta Maltija, one of the biggest Maltese language festivals on the island.
Vella won with the track ‘Ħarsa Biss’ after tallying both the jury’s and the public’s televote, where Vella won the public televote and Christian Arding won the jury vote to nab second place.
