This marks a significant milestone for the band as they aim for greater recognition on a global platform. Their participation highlights the growing presence of Estonian music in the international scene, particularly in Latin America where music festivals like Vina del Mar are highly regarded.

The Vina del Mar festival is known for showcasing diverse musical talents from around the world, and Vanilla Ninja's progression to the finals speaks to the band's broad appeal and the strength of their musical performance.
