Let us know what you thought about Spain entry for Eurovision 2023.
It's about a woman who has lost (died) her kid and she wants to be buried when she dies in the moon to be able to see her kid every single night but one day when the moon is totally off from earth.
It's crap
Are you gonna react 2nd place song, too (Agoney - Quiero arder). It has some Maruv (UKR) vibes but it's way better than Maruv's song, I think
I love this song! ❤
It's very authentic and unique! Very powerful! Also performance was awesome, her voice is really good!
I am from Serbia and I really like it. It is hypnotic, vocals and staging are perfect. Risky choice for Spain and I wish them all the best.
i'm russian/latvian/swedish and i'm not immersed in Spanish culture, however, i have basic knowledge and associations with what it is. and for me, it sounds so extremely Spanish, which got me so so excited to get something authentically Spanish instead of Latino-inspired like a last year (even tho that was also fab). babes, not sure what you really think Spaniards have to sound like and what their culture really is.
Esto es arte. Si no lo entendéis lo siento mucho 😉
Quiero decir que probablemente no ganaremos (como ellos han comentado)pero no me importa demasiado porque el flamenco es arte y no necesita que nadie le aplauda porque se aplaude él sólo.
@@To_Ni.83 are u alright, buddy? i love spanish entry, i’m talking about the authors of the video not understanding the culture behind it. maybe YOU didn’t understand the language of my message, i’m sorry then😉
@@To_Ni.83 antes de responder de manera tan borde, por favor , si no entiendes inglés, ponte el traductor... precisamente está defendiendo la candidatura de España.
@@sadsadratatouille5984 obviously . he did not understand your message...thanks from Spain
@@valpurgis54 ohh, well, good luck with this entry in may, the best so far IMO!
Finally Spain sends pure ethnic sound and I love it. So far my favourite entry. I'm not Spanish by the way.
Love from Spain ✨⭐💫
@@victorgomez4107 Love from Poland🇵🇱❤🇪🇸
But it sounds Gypsy, not Spanish
@@toottoot75 Spanish south culture is very influenced by gypsy culture
@@toottoot75 Sounds flamenco.
I think eurovision means diversity. If all countries would bring comercial songs to be liked by everyone it would be just a boring contest. We need entries like this. We need uniqueness. Love from Rumanía to España ❤️
Oleeee💃🏽
And I think you're absolutely right ❤️ love from Portugal to España
It is a very Gypsy Roman (Romaní) song... greetings to Romania from Spain.😉
I have to laugh that you guys were confused as to if this sounds Spanish. It is extremely traditional for Spain. If you have ever seen a flamenco performance, this sort of style of music is what you tend to hear.
As a Spaniard, I tell you that this is the most Spanish that has been sent in many years. It is a faithful representation of our culture.
I understand that the song is complicated, flamenco is a type of music that you may not like. But this is VERY Spanish.
I connect with this song in a particular way.
I'm not spanish, but I listen and make ambient, electronic, and experimental music, so I usually listen to this type of song.
I think that if you are not used to listening to this type of music, you'll find it hard to get in tune with it.
It's a strange, super cultural, experimental, and captivating song, and I'm really happy for Spain.
It's a risk for the competition but it doesn't matter... this will be a moment for sure.
yeah!
Guys reggaeton IS NOT FROM SPAIN.
Don't waste your time with ignorants... Specially those who come from the UK
El reguetón viene de latino américa no de España
Gracias a Dios que el reggeton no viene de España jujuu
It's not a song for everyone. It's a true flamenco passionate song full of deep feelings and meaning sung from the heart, as flamenco is meant to be
Every song is not for everyone
But the electronic music takes it to the next level, sound futuristic 😍🇪🇦
If you think Spain sounds like : pum pupumpum pum and not like this eaea, you don’t have idea what Spain is 😂 the sound you mean it comes from Latinamerica and not from Spain… Spain this year send quality, culture, art and an amazing voice 1000 times better than every pop, dance, or electro songs without soul.
And what you are supposed to do like a non Spanish viewer is just enjoy and admire her talent and her art. You musst not always do something, you are not the contest…Same if you go to opera… you musst just enjoy… this song is not made for easy people…
Unfortunately that's what much of Britain think. I'm a Spaniard living in the UK and I have to constantly clarify that Spain is not just beach, sun and Latino music but there are mountains, snow, Celtic culture, etc.
It's just the way Spain's marketed in several countries, showing just a small side of the country.
Latin music is from South America, Spain has Flamenco.
The common factor is the language, not the rhythms.
Last year’s candidate did a light copy/mix of Rosalia with a bullfighter’s suit.
This is a risky, haunting, quality art piece with great vocals. It’s traditional and modern; it’s cool, it’s different to the usual comercial dire presented at Eurovision and obviously doesn’t fit into the scheme.
It evokes one of Lorca’s (the great poet) nursery songs, a “nana”, although I believe this one was her grandmother’s.
It has the telluric influence of his poems and plays that all work around the moon, love, blood, death so inherent to the south of Spain, Andalucía. It’s repetitive and hasn’t got a wide range of music because that’s how nursery songs usually are, easy for children, so not needed. As you don’t need to know all this to appreciate something of real quality.
Even if she were to come last, I will still feel very proud of this daring and very beautiful representation, and she’s bound to be amongst the first ten. If she isn’t, it will be because quality isn’t meant for Eurovision.
Believe me, it grows on you. You should listen to it again.
@@mariajosearocasmartinez2995 en realidad, el sur de España tiene flamenco. Y quizá el problema viene en que nos quedemos con que ese sonido es el único español y se le ponga como tradicional de todo el país cuando no tiene nada que ver. Es tan fácil como ver que las jotas (por poner un ejemplo) en realidad abarcan mucho mayor territorio aunque tengan diferencias entre sí, o que en Galicia, Asturias y Cantabria uno de los instrumentos más usados en su música sea la gaita y no la guitarra. Que el flamenco sea tradicional en España, desde luego. Que sea lo que representa a todo el país, permíteme que lo dude.
La del año pasado no sonaba a Latinoamérica. Y eso quedándonos con la parte simple de lo que esto significa. Latinoamérica tiene tantos tipos de sonidos como países y dentro de cada país, sonidos diferentes por regiones tal como aquí.
SloMo sonaba a una canción pop con ritmos actuales que se escuchan mayoritariamente en España. Sean de origen español o no. Que guste o no, cuestión de cada uno.
Y vaya por delante que mando todo mi apoyo a Blanca Paloma y ojalá tenga suerte, pero ya me aburre leer que esta canción es más española porque suene a flamenco.
You see guys, this is flamenco with an electronic base. The "praying" style of voice is very Spanish. The rhythm you're talking about is Puertorican, yes it's very popular in Spain too but it isn't ethnic like this one. It's purpose is not to make you dance, but to listen to it and flow with the magic of the music and listen to the amazing voice of the singer. Not all songs are made to dance.
Do not worry, here we are to help you out! If you are used to a more "latin" sound coming from Spain... I get why you would be confused. This song is a lullaby, here in Spain, when babies cannot sleep, it is normal to use the words "eaea" to calm them down - that is where the title of the song comes from! Also, the song is pure flamenco, and one of the main characteristics of the genre is its Arab influence, that is also why you were kind of puzzled at the beginning. Flamenco is also sung this way so... yeah. This entry is as national (particularly Andalusian) as Tortilla de Patata :) Hope I helped!
fantastic song.
I do think that eurovisión is also to bring others to understand each other. Spain is sending something that eurovisión is already to understand diferent ways if signing
👏❤️
Solo te pedí la hora.
It can hardly get more Spanish than this, as a Spaniard I'm glad we are showing that SloMo (which was great) music genre is not the only thing in Spain.
This is flamenco with a modern / electronic touch. Flamenco is very popular especially in the south of the country, and quite popular abroad for many too (many tourists go to Andalusia to enjoy flamenco shows).
The song may not be for everyone, but most of us in Spain are extremely proud, and it was a good surprise to see so many positive reactions from abroad too.
Pero q saben estos 2 pobreticos míos? Ellos quieren fiesta y bragas en la cabeza y a bailar tu ritmo latino, lo cual está súper guay... Pero pa nos en 2023 son Ozores y Esteso buscando suecas. Mira su reacción a la actuación de Chanel: uau el bailarín de detrás está tan bueno .. Donde vamos? Gracias a dos la homosexualidad,hoy en día, también tiene un pasado q se puede corregir y mejorar
Karmento ❣️
In fact slo mo is not an spanish sound (from Spain -Europe),
It is spanish (from Latín America- América) It was really really great, but... not from Spain, maybe a little bit mixed.
Bragas en la cabeza va a ser que no! Pero la descripción de lo que se esperan en Eurovisión algunos lo has clavado!!! JAJAJA
I really believe that the reason for the existence of this song is not only because from an artistic point of view it is incredible, but also because it will help to show people not so close to the Spanish culture the rhythms of Spain without the LATAM influence. Just for the fact of "educating" the audience musically, I think it's a win.
This is actually more Spanish than ever. The way she sings quite southern Spain (Arab influences), the gestures that reminds of flamenco, the clapping. The only thing different is the electronic track at the back. If she was singing a capella it would be even more traditional. We can feel the mourning of the lyrics, the beautiful voice. People confuse Latin American rhythms with Spanish vibes, so people have the wrong perception of what it sounds like. The best song so far. I will go to the finals just to listen to this. I feel like people acquainted with the culture will be more connected or people who are used to listen to world/ international music. Kisses from Portugal. Nuestros Hermanos
Muito obrigado vizinha! Estou desejando conhecer a sua eleição para o Festival da Cançao, eu gostei muito da canção de Ivandro.
Um saludo😸
❤❤❤
It’s flamenco! A Typical Spanish flamenco lullaby Song.
This is authentic 100% traditional Spanish music/sound. It's actual Spanish, as we spaniards know, and not "fake Spanish", as people outside Spain think "Spanish music has to sound". For example, Aritz Aren's Flamenco was more like that "fake Spanish sound", while Blanca Paloma's Eaea is genuine Spanish music (even though it has a modern sound).
Funnily enough Aritz's Flamenco sounded more like a tango.
@@diegopozas1694 Yeah, actually they said the dance in that song was "acrotango". It was suposed to sound Spanish but obviously it wasn't (this was expected since that's the only song in thid year's Benidorm Fest made almost entirely by non-Spanish people).
@Seran yo sí.
Este año se nos llena la boca con el neo flamenco pero el año pasado parece q Tanxugueiras fueran de Marte o Júpiter.
Arriba Tanxugueiras y arriba Blanca Paloma!!!!
❤️
La canción de Aritz es la paella con chorizo que les gusta a los guiris, pero la paella auténtica no lo lleva. Y si no les gusta, pues no es nuestro problema. No le vamos a poner chorizo para que les guste.
@@carmenmora5348 jajajajaja. Exacto!
Spain's performance is pure art turned into music. Totally different from what was offered last year, but it contains vocal perfection, personality and an authentic flavor of Spain. No one else could bring something like that to Eurovision.🥰
eastern european countries do folk songs all the time
and it's amazing, just like this spanish one
Cómo latinoamericano digo que esto es lo más español que pueda escuchar. Claro, los ritmos LATINOAMERICANOS han tomado mucha influencia en la música actual y se pueden confundir, pero esto es fiel y una excelente representación a España
Pero estos 2 solo quieren ponerse las bragas en la cabeza y bailar. Lo cual mola pero hay q saber escuchar también. Los gays no podemos ser gente unidireccional q solo quieren algo pa bailar y mover el culo. Estos # chicos son un ejemplo de la homosexualidad de otra época a la q quizás debemos mucho, pero q no son el ahora. Ahora podemos saltar con las bragas en la boca y a la misma vez emocionarnos con Lorena McKennit.
tan fiel que vamos de cabeza a LOS ULTIMOS PUESTOS DE LA TABLA. en vez de llevar UN PRODUCTO COMERCIAL Y DE MASAS, que guste a todo el mundo, que es de lo que esto se trata, LLEVAMOS UN PRODUCTO solo apto para paladares españoles y veremos COMO ES PISOTEADO Y TIRADO POR EL PISO por toda europa. BRILLANTE.
@@jumelojumelo8672 madre mia tu comentario es de monger total

nuevamente se ve que hay mucha gente DE ENCEFALOGRAMA PLANO que no entiende lo que yo quiero transmitir aqui. o que no entiende lo que es eurovision.
eurovision es un concurso en el que hay que mandar algo QUE GUSTE A TODA EUROPA: si es que quieres ganarlo claro. yo pienso siempre EN GANAR EUROVISION y por eso mi propuesta es llevar algo COMERCIAL. del genero que quieras PERO COMERCIAL. que guste. que enganche. QUE LE GENTE QUIERA VERLO. ¿que pasa? ¿que por ser gay tienes que estar a favor de todas las minorias? PUES SIENTO DECIRTE QUE EUROVISION NO VA DE ESO.
eurovision es mucho mas diverso de lo que lo eres tu. si no entiendes que esta cancion NO VA A GUSTAR en muchas zonas de europa ESTAS PASANDO Y EXCLUYENDO a mucha gente que se supone que quieres que vote tu cancion.
ASI QUE TE RECOMIENDO ABRIR LA MENTE amigo mio. ¿esta cancion va a generar hype entre los eurofans? ¿la gente la va a bailar? ¿la va a demandar? AL FINAL ESTA CANCION TIENES QUE VENDERLA PROR TODA EUROPA. ¿como lo vas a hacer?
luego vamos a mandar nuestro folclore como si fuera caviar Y NOS LO VAN A ESCUPIR A LA CARA. ¿entonces para que les damos a los europeos lo mejor que tenemos SI NO LO VAN A APRECIAR?
te puedo hacer este razonamiento con un millon de cosas Y EL RESULTADO SIEMPRE ES EL MISMO.
tu todos los dias estas eligiendo LO COMERCIAL por encima de todo lo demas. asi que no intentes dartelas de cool conmigo porque quedas como un CINICO.
The song is about a baby crying in his grandmother's arms and not falling asleep and she sings him a lullaby to put him to sleep. EaEa is a way to calm the baby to sleep. She asks that when she dies they bury her on the moon and from there she can see her child every night. The lyrics are reminiscent of the poetry of the Granada poet Federico García Lorca.🕊️
You should not be pausing it. This is an amazing performance. Pure art. It is teatrical, captivating and haunting. This is different. I’ll be voting for Spain this year.
Is pure art. This is a modern way to present the flamenco music. Only Spain can deliver us these kind of song. You have to lisent many times to love it. Big hug from Panama 🇵🇦.
Flamenco! You can't get more Spanish than that! Totally got it and I'm just a South African who hardly knows 5 words of Spanish. Loved it, hope it does well! I'm always excited by cultural authenticity.
fans from around the world can vote too now
Flamenco Is more Gypsy than Spanish as far as I know, and it sounds like traditional Roma-Gypsy music..
@@toottoot75 review spanish flamenco. Spanish culture by itself.
@@toottoot75 Gypsys than spanish? You spend time in Spain. Please, if you do not know what are you talking about ask someone. Spain is not Playa del Inglés.
@@toottoot75Flamenco is from Andalusia and its origin is a mixture of many cultures. Among them the gypsy (very important) and the Arab.
Reggaeton originates from Panama, and Puerto Rico quickly picked up and ran with the genre. Slomo's writers were all based in Los Angeles, which is where it was probably written, a few miles from my job. It's more American than Spanish.
Eaea is an extremely Spanish entry. I find it captivating and personally love it. My favorite entry this year.
Menos mal !!! Gracias ...
Wasn't SloMo being originally written for a bigger celebrity? Beyonce? Shakira?can't remember for who exactly but it wasnt meant to compete at Benidorm Fest at first
@@nikki7065 JLo I think
@@criticaexpres yes, I remember now, it was for Jennifer Lopez. Thank you
I completely disagree about the lack of connection. I'm an American with zero Spanish/ European roots but the performance made me emotional. Like it was said in the video, it's haunting.
Excusing the ignorance of the reviewers apparent lack of knowledge of flamenco and Spanish music, I think it’s wonderful to have such musical diversity in the contest as opposed to the apparent need of reviewers to have a continual line of forgettable ‘bops’ belted out by divas…
I'm not Spanish (🇬🇧) but i love this entry, 💃💃💃 also Norway
Brava Spania🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻meraviglioso❤️grande amore dal Ukraina💛💙
It's understandable that you guys didn't enjoy it, you obviously have the right not to. However, something you might want to know is that there is nothing more Spanish than this. Last years' entry tended to fluctuate more towards the Central American rythms. These two are very different from each other.
eurovision is not about WHO REPRESENTS THE ORIGINS OF EACH COUNTRY. eurovision is about making a show THAT ENJOYS ALL EUROPE. you have to make something comercial and for the mases and THEN, if you want, a touch of ethnic music that reminds you the country you represent. THIS IS NOR FOR EUROVISION. do you think european people would enjoy this??? will they dance it at night??? will be expected for the fans??? SO HOW CAN THIS SONG MAKE A GOOD PERFORMANCE IN THE FESTIVAL???? this is more politic than music.

Im not from Spain but im crazy about Spain and Evrything it come from Spain and this song its wooow me gusto muco gusto!!!
Me, as spaniard, I know this is a hard song to listen for the first time, but the staging impact is amazing. She elevates the song live
Yeah, almost as we expected this reaction to be😁 Actually, this entry winning a national selection is a great reminder that Eurovision is still not a radio contest, even despite it is surrounded now by eurofans that, it seems like, have only one criteria for a song - do they wanna listen to it again, is it listenable on Spotify, do they wanna add it to their playlists and will they wanna skip it when it comes... Maybe, one day when, firstly, autotune will be allowed in ESC (not only in Norwegian selection) and maybe then it won't be necessary to actually perform on stage, and ESC really will turn into a radio contest... then yes, this argument will be 100% valid and main. But thankfully, now the full package is what matters which might contain many things, including live vocals, having a unique song, first immediate reaction of viewers, representing culture of your country, maybe an unknown part of it. And it's right that not everyone will understand and vote for it but still, it's great to have something like this in the running.
*Drops microphone*
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That zenith angle where you can see the white circle symbolizing the moon that is transformed into an eye, the eye that watches the child from the moon. This moment is perfectly accompanied by the lyrics of the song, it is what he is singing. It is magical, elegant, artistic, modern and impressive.
Brilliant song, wonderful choice for Spain, and I put it on my playlist. I really don’t understand how you haven’t heard real flamenco until now…I even managed it in Grand Canaria.
Greetings from Croatia❤️!
Imagine saying, publicly, that FLAMENCO doesn't sound very Spanish because it doesn't go "badum badum" lol.
I am amazed how many people have no knowledge of Flamenco. I saw others reactors from northern Europe with the same shock. I am always expecting to discover something I didn't know at Eurovision.
Maybe they think flamenco is english, like in the movie RRR 😂😂
@@rojimyayang5857 🤣
😂🤣😂😂yessss
Ignorance and audacity always come hand in hand, you see.
I have a huge respect for Spain this year, they had a lot of typical pop songs in their national selection, which would be such a "safe" option, but they rather went for more risky choice, which screams for me both traditional and ethnic but also experimental vibes. It's so avant-garde, yet true to their cultural roots. Obviously, any typical pop song is more likely to be accessible for the most of the fans, but that's why I appreciate their decision so much, let the whole Europe see the other side of Spanish culture, not only those dancy songs.
Btw. when I've heard it for the very first time, I had exactly the same thing in my mind as Goy did - that I would rather expect this type of singing method in more Eastern European regions (typically for Slavic countries). 😄
And get ready, tomorrow is the day when the final results of the Czech national selection will be revealed! 😁😎
This is the most Spanish entry Spain can serve us !!
It reminds me France 2021 but for Spain 🙏❤️🇧🇪🇪🇦
I understand this song is not for everyone, but this has quality to grab your attention immediatety. As chilean this is so Spanish (From Spain) And for me this song shows a mother who is calm down her baby but she knows she are going to die soon...
I love this Spain that benidorm fest is bringing to Eurovision: quality, risk, experimental but in its roots deeply.
Just for being unforgettable this will land Spain back into the top 10.
I have a very hard time imagining this on the right side of the board
I liked that Spain is sending this jewel different unique hypnotic and not a silly cheesy song. Flamenco in Spain is an art an not all the singers can sing it and it's been for centuries. Spain has sent before song with flamenco flavor. But european audience don't appreciate this even this music is european not from other planet. When other countries send song with cultural or ethnic sounds Europe is delighted but when Spain send flamenco everybody is with a big face. Spain, Portugal and Albania are the most underrated countries in the contest. I would like to see singers from other countries singing this kind of genre with the soul.
An entertaining video as always! Before this performance, no one was really talking about this song as a potential winner at all, and immediately afterwards it created SO much buzz for this entry, Very similar to how Chanel won last year. As a song, it's not for everyone, but it is a song made for a visual experience and Blanca Paloma delivered that in spades with this performance. I truly do hope that translates well at Eurovision because I do think there is something special about this entry.
Мені дуже сподобалось! Як я зрозуміла це ритми та мотиви Іспанські - фламенко! Але все ж розбавлено сучасними бітами. Мені це здається дуже драматичним та запальним! О! Так, і вокал! Вокал та тембр шикарні!
Every time I watch this performance I’m just mesmerised, this is pure art and my current winner
Traditional flamenco (a flamenco lullaby) mixed with electronic music and a powerful voice that is the formula.
And…guys ethnic / traditional/ music mixed with something more modern is always present in ESC; northern countries usually plays this formula
Its incredible. The staging elevated it massively and those 3 mins fly by
Guys, this isn't a commercial pop song and, definitely, not the type of song anyone would add to their playlist, but the whole package is a piece of art. Minimal electronic base, powerful flamenco and ethnic vocals, staging, lighting, camera angles, back vocals, claps, the right amount of choreography. This is more hypnotic than Chanel's booty. I'm sure it will do very well at ESC. And, by the way, this is way more Spanish than Chanel's entry (which I loved and still watch from time to time).
This is a top 10 contender. This can win jury vote in Eurovision. What a vocals! And amazing performance
Blanca Paloma's song is a play, a performance made to be represented and with the staging it makes sense, using Spanish (Lorca) but also universal symbolic references. It is an invocation, a call, a song to what makes us feel safe and strong at the same time, which makes us enter a hypnotic trance.
She relates it to her grandmother, to that maternal thing that takes care of us and protects us. The red strings that hang down and that she already explained reminded her of her grandmother's shawl, form a circle that is like a maternal womb that gives us light and nourishes us. She goes through that uterus that is fertilized (this is how I understand those hands that surround her and hold her for a few seconds). Then the miracle of life is done.
The moon is the symbol of the feminine, which engenders, nourishes and makes it grow. It is present every night except when it goes out on a new moon. During the performance, the sound “ea, ea” is repeated loudly and rhythmically, which is the lullaby that mothers sing to children when they are afraid, when they cry, to reassure them and give them strength. Nothing bad is going to happen... The dancers also imitate the movement of the arms that they cradle spasmodically. It looks like a sway of waves... Because the sea also lulls and transforms with the phases of the moon and is the quintessential feminine element. The base that sounds below the telluric song and the allusions to the heartbeat complete the visual and sound elements of the set.
This song is a song to celebrate life and a work of art. Win or not, it will not leave anyone indifferent and it will be difficult to forget.
Ole
You both are really great commenters. Hehe had fun with your video. On the other hand, i must confess that i am obsessed with Blanca Paloma ❤❤❤❤
A very strong entry from Spain- excellent. Top 10.
I absolutely love how traditional yet equally experimental this song is. She killed it with her passionate delivery and beyond lush vocal talent at Benidorm, and I have absolutely zero doubt in her ability to bring the heat at the Eurovision finals. The hype is real and she is absolutely a contender for the Eurovision trophy. 🔥👏🏻🏹👏🏻🔥
We carry part of our culture with the aim of sharing and celebrating our folklore. All countries and we have roots. It is about leaving your mind and listening, letting yourself be carried away by the mantra of the song and transporting yourself to the ancestral. It's not a dance song, it's a travel song. Open minds. 😉🥰🕊️
This song is a lullaby inspired by the poet Federico García Lorca and dedicated to Blanca's grandmother. The scenery is inspired by the works of Carlos Saura. This song is pure art
I respect your opinion but a lot of spanish people are gonna be mad when they hear you saying this doesnt sound spanish. This is probably “the most spanish sound” we have sent to Eurovision. This is how really flamenco sounds mixed with an experimental beat. This is the kind of music Rosalia does. I’m sorry you have not connected with the song but this is a statement from Spain, this is our culture, and this is how music in spain sounds now. Greetings!
At first, when I heard the audio, I was not a fan of this but this staging elevating this soo much for me
Like many other flamenco singers, Blanca doesn't have vocal singing education. It comes naturally. Flamenco is a world heritage human wealth by UNESCO. And Spanish are proud of their culture
It has very southern Spanish sound actually. I like the song and due to the vocal it might be appreaciate by the judges; with the public, who knows.
Not to make comparisons because they’re very different, but this is on a similar realm of songs like Jamala’s or Salvador Sobral’s. They won Eurovision, and I don’t think that many people would listen to them on repeat, or dance to them, or sing along, just because they’re not that type of songs. I’m not implying she’s going to win, mind you, but just saying that it shouldn’t be immediately dismissed for being “out there” and not radio friendly.
I don’t know what’s gonna be of this song cos it’s only February and it’s too early to call considering only 6 other songs have been picked. But even acknowledging that it’s risky, I think it’s a lot more interesting as a follow up to Chanel, doing a 180 rather than send a random formulaic pop song. (We see you, Cyprus)
Other people have pointed out about the meaning of the lyrics and about the cultural significance of Flamenco, and I understand that it might be a bit alien to anyone who’s not from Spain, but that’s what Eurovision is about. If we get 35 pop songs, 20 bops that sound the same and 15 ballads that sound the same, what’s the point.
Love from a Spaniard in the UK!
Big Spain 🇪🇦 Blanca Paloma is amazing, la canción te atrapa, la performance y presencia escénica de ella es increíble posible winner Eurovisión 2023 !!!! Yo si conecte con la canción, cariños desde Lima Perú 🇵🇪 !!!!
This is Spain in the heart - last year was south American/US Spanish... Take a vacation in Andalucia - Sevilla in spring and sink yourself deep into the roots of Spain... unfortunately most Europeans will not get it. But it is pure Spain
Blanca Paloma's performance is not only a song. It is an immersive experience, a musical and visual poem. It is conceptual, minimalist and of high artistic quality.
I love you Goy, because of your open mind, in Europe there is a lot of folklore in different countries and being Spanish I fully immerse myself in many of those songs, I adore European culture and as an example Moldova, which is the one that usually carries the most folklore from its country and I love many of their songs, let's open our minds... I appreciate your reaction, but the thing about being in the final positions Toy, it's going to be NO... oh and by the way, I love you too Toy
Chicos, sois súper simpáticos, me encanta veros.
Particularmente, El tema de Blanca me parece auténtico. Honestamente, me da igual lo que piensen en el resto de Europa. En un mundo tan globalizado, las apuestas más etnicas, me parecen las más auténticas y sinceras. Prefiero este tipo de propuestas que otras menos singulares y más globalizadas.
Blanca lleva un poema cantado, una nana cantada, flamenco electrónico. Sus visuales son preciosos y su voz, prodigiosa.
Me agrada que España lleve una propuesta tan singular.
Enhorabuena por vuestros comentarios. Sois una pareja preciosa ❤
Total!
so I'm not AS into it as many others are (it might grow on me). However, I'm very happy that Spain is sending in 2 strong songs in a row and I can see why this won.
Its a lullaby song. EaEa is the onomatopoeic sound that mothers make to reassure and cradle their baby......sorry you didnt like it, but it is very emotional for us
There's a lot of references to the poetry of Lorca, one of the most incredible poets of Spain, killed (maybe cause he was gay, who knows) who wrote about forbidden love, live, mothers, lovers, in the 30's and using simbolsm when he talked about same sex love. All his poetry are in all the XX century flamenco and even in this new flamenco that use electronic. Rosalia's second record, El mal querer, has sames vibes.
I can understand why you don't like, but flamenco is so powerful. Fills with bones, blood, love, sex, motherhood and earth. This song have all.
Enjoy your time in GC guys 😘.
Estos dos no tienen ni idea de quién es Lorca, que pena 🤦
This is SO Spanish, and I absolutely enjoy every second of it. Amazing live performance. Top 3 for me
So you say that you are not connected to it because you are non spanish person, but, I don't hear the same when something celtic, or any kind of cultural from Finland, or Norway, or Iceland, or Greece, or even Jamala, buy why does it happen with our flamenco? It is unique in the world
Unique 🇦🇱❤🇪🇸
Its not a dancing song but it's not a ballad, its not boring.
it's captivating and emotional, she has the whole package: the vocals, the emotion, the looks,the staging, the charisma and most important the roots and traditions. It represents SPAIN. That's how it should be, Spanish should be proud of their selection no matter the rank paloma gets because even if Europe don't understand a word she is saying, it will catch their attention for sure.
I am thankful that every year Eurovision receives more rock, indie, alternative, electronic, experimental, folkore proposals. and that less and less fan divas and power ballads are seen, which seems to be the only thing that old eurofans like.
For me this is spectacular, a 3-minute piece of art, that will not be compared to anything this year, Spain is a winner alert
My favourite this year... by far. Blame it on the Iberian culture, but I'm really loving this with all the flamenco sound in it. Gorgeous!
I am spanish and the cultural music from here is flamenco.
Our song of this year is different, when i saw that this is our song i like very hoocked, because i like abother song that name is nochentera by vicco you should listen because you may love it.
The song of blanca paloma is like this because it is a lullaby.
Don't worry. We know that we are taking a risky bet and it is possible that someone will have a negative impact like you. Geberally, Eurofans seem to be having a positive impact in general. This sound is much more traditional Spanish than Latin reggaeton. That music comes from Central America. The work of the Blanca paloma team these next 3 months is to convince and connect those who have not succeeded like you. Thank you very much for the reaction and thanks for suppport Chanel last year
Thank you, Spain… the best.
Guys, Let's not reduce the discussion to the song, let's talk about the performance and all the elements involved. There were at least 10 more radio-friendly songs in the Benidorm Fest, but this performance stood out, it is going to be a breath of fresh air in the ESC because nothing will be like this, her voice, the different moments, it is a journey, its mysterious, its sad, its powerful. It's NOT a song to be heard regularly, at least not for an average person. It's all about creating a mesmerizing experience. Save this comment, this will be top 5.
Greetings from Valencia, Spain.
I have to say that with Channel Europe saw the latin, sexual, powerfull & dance able Spain's part. This year, with Blanca Paloma you see the Spain's part about tradition, culture and folklore mixed with contemporany. A flamemco's lullaby with techno.
We were so many time waiting for see our tradition and culture in Eurovision & this year we finally get that.
So happy with Blanca Paloma. Viva España!
Chanel was latin american rithms (not spanish), this song IS spanish. I understand you are confused in terms of rithms origins and mixin latinoamerican with spanish (the european country). This song is from the bottom of the culture from Spain as a country, and is so deep, poetic and melancolic that it´s difficult to digest for people out of Spain. But this song is an ancestral masterpiece mixed with modern electronica. Remember Eimear Quinn from Ireland (1996) or Jamala from Ukraine (2016)
I think you gave the most honest review of this song: there has to be a particular cultural affinity to connect with it.
Veo que les ha encantado la canción de Chequia, a mí también. La tengo en mi top 5 junto a la de España y Noruega. Ahora bien, me hace gracia ver como la asocian a Europa del Este, de donde son, y la ven más accesible que Ea Ea, cuando ambas coinciden en ser poco pegadizas y poco comerciales.
Eastern Europe mmm, it's flamenco or traditional ancestral Spanish music, flamenco also has Roman Gypsy roots... yes it's a mixture, some notes may seem like ancient sounds, gypsies also came to Spain from Romania or Hungary in 16th and 17th century... it sounds more like Rosalia.😉that's why Romanians say they love Spain..lol..
Brillante es una obra de arte, es mágica y te transporta a otro tiempo
omg it is very Spanish....!!!!! Its soooooo Spanish finally something that is actually representing Spain
As a non spanish person, I'm italian, I can say this song speaks profoundly to me. It's so particular and evocative. This song makes me dream.
It depends on the eyes of who's watching and listening to. Eurofans use to require more ethnic because big part of the Eurovision essence is the traditional rhythms. Toy said this does not sound very Spanish, but this is pure Spanish vibe, flamenco, passion, tradition, culture... I know this is not commercial nor radio-friendly. This is a risky proposal but I wish people can connect with the feeling of the song at the end of the day.
remember what i say about uk in 2022 , this will be top 5 +
It's probably de most spanish song we've ever submitted. Reggaeton and latino rhythms are not from Spain at all, this is flamenco, one of our most precious cultural and artistic types of traditional music 🙌❣️
This is the most Spanish we have sent in years, the problem is that the vision you have of Spain is not the true one, you expect Latin sounds and Spain is not that.
The song itself (music, singing, clapping) is a bulería, kind of a specific 'subgenere' of flamenco with a modern twist of an electronic beat.
The topic and the lyrics come from the POV of a woman singing a lullaby, trying to put her crying baby to sleep ('Eaea' is a cooing sound in Spain)
The performance and staging are the ones of a ritual, summoning her ancestors. Specially her late grandma, wich this song is inspired by and dedicated to, because she taught and used to sing flamenco and lullabies to her.
The repetitive pattern of the beat, backing vocals and rythmic clapping are intended to be entrancing and hypnotizing for connecting with the energy of the experience. Her hand movements work as a praise and a calling to the above.
The red threads are a reference to the fringes of a traditional 'mantón' (shawl) simbolizing protection, motherhood, in fact she said it could be seen sort of womb-shaped. Actually she worked as a costume and stage set designer, as she did here too.
The white circle represents the moon, where, as the lyrics say, she wants to be buried in when she dies, so she will be able to watch over her child everynight but one ('newmoon')
First she kneels looking up, later she kneels again looking downwards, always with a reaching hand.
Then she shoots a flaming arrow and lits it on fire (red pulsing light, heartbeat, blood, death) Finally the priestess gets on the shrine to end the ritual in ecstasy.
You need to know the word. That
see sing. הקטע הלבן. זה ירח. היא אומרת שהיא רוצה שיקברו אותה בירח.כדי שתוכל לראות את בנה. זה שיר חזק.
1. This is Spanish music. That is named FLAMENCO.
2. The music is not ALLWAYS POP in English.
3. It is wrong so say that "this song is RIDICULOUS, so it is right for Eurovision"
PLEASE, keep kalm because SPAIN (Blanca Paloma) is a perfect contestant to Win.
By the way, if you dont understand Spanish, please, click the 'Translate' option in CZcams or let's star to learn Spanish in the same way we learn English to understand you.
I agree with you.Gives me some artistic, Konstrakta vibes. I am Serbian and people also didnt like much our entry from last year, but after live performance she won the televote in 2nd semi. For me, this song is much better than Slomo. Slomo was a regular pop latin song that you hear all the time, but this is really Spain.
Mio Dio!!! Che emozione.👍👍👍👍
We took a risk and after marvellous Chanel (it will take a long time to see such a wonderfull and perfect show again) we send another wonderfull song an amazing singer in a different way. And that´s a potential winner in my opinion. If it´s not as least we might be proud of this gorgeous entry. Art in every way!
You guys are just mesmerized by the performance, meanwhile you were expecting a LatinAmerican Pop from Spain again, remember that you can't repeat the same pattern on Eurovision or you get stuck on the scoreboard.
Winner Alert❤!!!
Agoney with Quiero Arder came 2nd and it had some similarities with Chanel's song as a style. Even though i would prefer him winning I think Spain chose correctly because we've seen in the past that Europe doesn't want same patterns (Cyprus 2018 & 2019 comes to mind).
Don't forget 2021 and the absolute horror that was 2022 live
Similarities?
@@nikki7065 she was still slaying - dome fcking 6 countries rigged jury votes - she supposed to be in the final instead of AzerBUYjan
I was surprised to hear you say it doesn't "sound Spanish". For many, this is categorically, unmistakably Spanish, with its evident copla/flamenco influences. It's my personal favourite for now, but I understand how it might be polarising. I'm just hoping it isn't misunderstood in May.
It won’t
@@Eva-jq1tx It won't be misunderstood? I hope so. I think the contest benefits greatly from more songs like these, and fewer euro-engineered English-language pop tracks.
@@s.leochapman417 I honestly think this will do well.
@@s.leochapman417 and if it flopped, we’re ok, because at least we’re not hooked on sending the same as last year, and this is art.
@@Eva-jq1tx Indeed. A moral victory, regardless.
This song is so much more Spanish than the one from the last year. And the singer is soo charismatic. I'm almost sure it will do very well. And I'm Polish though.
SloMo was a thing. This is something deeper and you need to watch it without stopping to connect… You guys stopped the show a lot of times and that’s how you loose the points. She remains me to Kamala (2016) wich is one of the best winners performance from last decade in Eurovision. She’s not gonna be on the bottom at all, Spain’s proposal is more than strong.
I agree that this is not a song to listen to daily or on the radio. It is created to grow in a festival like Eurovision. It is curious that the perception (mainly European) of some foreigners about Spain is only "reggaeton or Latin rhythms" when the base of this song is Andalusian. I mean, I would understand if songs with other less well-known folklore such as Galician or Castilian folklore were not understood (although we have it and it is very varied). But, in short, it seems to me a risk that this year had to be taken since the performance of Spain will have more attention than usual in the final after the result of Chanel. Good luck to Blanca Paloma!
