Over the last years more and more artists, who are members of marginalized ethnicities, entered the Eurovision Song Contest.
Here is a collection of those artists, who represent those in the Eurovision community.
I checked the years 2008 till today and added the whole collections of Israel and Turkey because they are often marginalized in european countries, but if you have other songs to suggest, I didn't include, please write it in the comment section, thank you :).

Also why is Jamie-Lee Kriewitz on this list? She's white.

Hi, thank you for all your suggestions,
I'm very sorry I didn't update the collection since I had other stuff to do.
I did actually include Jamie Lee, but I don't know why, so I excluded her song again.

I added most of your suggestion except Andras Kallay Saunders, Dino Merlin and Maxine and Franklin Brown, since I did not find any evidence I could count them as BIPoC. If you have any resources that give this evidence, I was happy if you could comment it here.
I would not include the caucasus republics like Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia by themself to the group of BIPoC. They developed, although they are near to the arabic countrys and turkey, culturaly indipendent and are rather "white".

Kállay Saunders father is a black american named fernando saunders
Dino merlin sung with a black french lady named Béatrice in 1999
And if you look at a picture of franklin brown he's obviously a poc
