They speak in galego, euskera and catalan. People will say "this is not Spain and this is not spanish" but THIS is what Spain is and THIS is what we are proud of!!!! Greetings from Andalucía 💕

It's traditional in Galicia, north Spain. They sing mostly in Galego, one of our co-official languages. The diversity of our culture is a treasure!!!! Atte: una murcianica in love.

This is pure Galician, rooted in their land, their history, their women. The dance is a muiñeira. This song is head and shoulders over Chanel.

This song talks about my ancestors. Hardworking, strong and fighter women. It makes me feel proud and excited that people from all over the world can see them and hear the ancient sounds of my land. They deserved to win. -a proud Galician.

I was rooting so much for them. The situation with all the Benidorm Fest being rigged now makes me sick to the heart. So unfair that Spain can't bring such uniqueness, tradition and beauty to Eurovision.

This would have been one of the best act ever seen in Eurovision, original, powerful, immediatly engaging and deeply representive. It has the full package. if i were spanish i would be mad about not sending this. It's by far better than all the acts presented by other countries as of now.

Os lo está diciendo una persona inglesa, es algo que nunca se ha visto, SOBRE TODO VINIENDO DE ESPAÑA! Es lo que todos estamos diciendo... Y el jurado dale con no darle una puntuación merecida simplemente porque "no es lo estándar".... An English person is telling you, it is something that has never been seen, ESPECIALLY COMING FROM SPAIN! It's what we're all saying... And the jury decided not to give it a simply deserved score because "it's not the standard"... (Sorry for my english...)

I just love that they are showing the world that Spain is not only southern music (Wich I adore) but is more than it, and Spaniard culture is a litlle bit more complex, ancient and rich. I do like Chanel but I wish that the message of Rigoberta or the culture of Tanxugueiras represented Spain in Eurovision.

I think one of the reasons why this is amazing is because when some people talk about Spain they only know flamenco. The fact that a song like this one made it this far is amazing and will help people from other countries to know that there’s much more about Spain. The song also says “there’s no borders” in every official language here in Spain: gallego, Vasco, catalán, valenciano and castellano (spanish) They’re amazing 🔥

It's galician traditional dance. No hay fronteras=there are no borders.

TANXUGUEIRAS FOR EUROVISION ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥

This type of music and also the dance, they are traditional from Galicia (a region on the north of Spain). 🙂

The type of song is based on a traditional style from Galicia, where “cantareiras” an undetermined number of girls sing together like a chorus, while playing tambourine. The dance of the boys on skirts is also a Galician type of dance called “muiñeira” that can be roughly translated as the one of the millers.

Let's not forget two Tanxugueiras singers suffered from Covid-19 recently. They weren't able to travel to Benidorm until Tuesday and Wednesday. That means very little time to practice and improve details of the performance, TV camera angles, etc... In addition, I'm sure that RTVE is not interested in really predictable scores from the expert jury in the final... so I guess there will be surprises in the final, as compared to the semifinals.

I just Love all the cultural aspects of the staging. I would love to see something like this on the Eurovision stage. I know people call this song repetitive, but I just get really into how the energy builds through the song. Chanel really benefited from having a Eurovision-ready performance to her song, but Terra and Ay Mama just have something special about them that makes them stand out in my mind.

I am from south of Spain, and I think Tanxugueiras was the best song in Benidorm 2022. In my personal opinion they have worked a lot on the song, the costumes and the atmosphere. I think that as a whole and by far the Tabnxungueiras are the best in the festival. There is no problem when they sing in Galician. It's as if you send a representative who sings in Gaelic and they do it very well.

“Eye-catching, unique and memorable” loved it

The song ends up with the line "there are no borders" in sign language. Unfortunately RTVE did a poor work.

This kind of music is typical folklore music from Galicia. They sing most part in Galician, and include some phrases in Euskera, Catalán, Asturiano and Spanish. I’d like to point out that the way of dancing of the boys is typical too, but they are dancing the way the women did.

greatest tanxugueiras. this song takes me to the depths of my soul

Matriarchal heritage,women empowerment,no borders and get together to dance and sing deep and high... They sing the Alalá ,a typical old voice from northwest mountains in Spain.The scream of the girl is an Aturuxo and the dancers dancing like Muiñeira.Galicia is one of the Celtic nations (for understanding see The Chieftains with Carlos Nuñez) .You can see collaboration with Rayden "Averno" . We are sure of the 12 points of Portugal and Ireland with this song.Thanks for reaction! #Tanxugueiras

The jury dont want them so its imposible that they win but i wish they change their opinion. Thank you for the reaction

I just can't agree with you more... I really like Ay mama, but I believe that Tanxungueiras's performance is something unique and different and, as you said, something that foreigners don't know yet about Spain. Sadly, I don't see them winning, what a pitty!😩😩 Edit: I wasn't seeing coming Chanel's triumph... Kind of dissapointed, I must say...

I love Tanxugueiras. It is one of the most powerful songs of the contest. It's not a tradicional Spanish song as could be flamenco, it's just representing the galician comunity, culture and language being a clear exemple of diversity. Spain has a lot of cultures and it also has different languages which are reflected perfectly in this song. It includes the sentence of "There are no borders" in all the cooficial languages of the country such as catalan, bask, galician, asturian and also Spanish. It mixes perfectly what Spain is and for me are the best option for representing us in Turin.

Pues gracias al jurado (3 personas) no llevaremos a las favoritas por toda España y el resto del Europa 😍👏🏻

Tanxugueiras for Eurovision

Tanxugueiras 💚💚💚

Totally agree with you!!!! ❣️❣️ Thank you so much for your reaction. So proud that finally my culture is reaching international people through this amazing song. Biquiñooos❣️❣️❣️

If Tanxungueiras go to ESC, I’m sure that Spain will be in the podium !!!! ❤️🇪🇸❤️🇪🇸❤️🇪🇸❤️🇪🇸❤️🇪🇸❤️🇪🇸

Tanxugueiras is a trio formed by Aida Tarrío, and the twins Olaia and Sabela Maneiro. They are from Galicia, northwestern Spain. They almost always sing in Galician, Galicia's own language, although they have sung in Spanish in some performances. They also play the tambourine in many of their performances. The name of the group comes from the toponymy: it is the name given to farms where badgers (teixugos in galician language) usually roam and that in the area of ​​Fumaces, municipality of Riós (province of Ourense) is called tanxugo instead of from teixugo (which would be the correct form) and hence "tanxugueira". Until 2021 this group was known in the field of traditional Galician music but throughout 2021 thanks to the videos of the songs MIDAS and FIGA, in which they mix traditional and modern elements, they became famous outside that field. In the fall of 2021, RTVE, (RadioTelevisión Española) decides to organize a music festival, the Benidorm Fest, to choose the artist and the song that will represent Spain in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest The Eurovision-Spain portal carried out a consultation among its members and readers about possible candidates. The Tanxugueiras prevailed in the vote. This prompted them to appear at the Benidorm Fest with the song “Terra” that combines Galician folklore with electronic percussion. In December 2021, the video of the song was released and can be seen on KZfaq:Tanxugueiras - TERRA (Official Lyric Video). In this video the lyrics of the song are in Galician with subtitles in Spanish and if they do not appear they can be activated in the settings. English subtitles can also be activated. In January 2022 the Tanxugueiras perform in the Benidorm Fest Final and come in third place. The performance can be seen on KZfaq in the video: Tanxugueiras - "Terra" Benidorm Fest 2022 The Grand Final. The song and the staging are a tribute to an aspect of the tradition and culture of Galicia, the figure of the cantareiras, women who sing, and the pandereteiras, who play the tambourine, which enlivened the “foliada” or nocturnal meeting. of people to have fun, sing and dance. The phrase "there are no borders" is said in several languages ​​spoken in Spain: Galician: Non hai fronteiras Basque (Euskera): Ez dago mugarik Catalan: No hi ha fronteres Asturian (Bable): Nun hai fronteres Castellano (often named Spanish: No hay fronteras Sign language, in the last scene of the performance. In the background images of the stage are scenes of women singing and playing the tambourine and of people dancing. The song has the structure of a muñeira, (muiñeira in Galician), a traditional Galician melody in which “ailalala” and “ailalelo” abound. Olaia's “aturuxo” almost at the end of the performance is a high-pitched, loud and prolonged cry that is emitted as a sign of joy at festivals and “foliadas” or while doing some agricultural work. The costumes of the Tanxugueiras are inspired by the traditional Galician gala dress, black with lace and jet decorations and with jet or gold jewels. The makeup simulates the drawings of the lace and the gold leaf on the hair is reminiscent of the gold of the jewels. Aida is the one wearing the braid, Olaia is the one who throws the “aturuxo” at the end of the performance and Sabela is the one wearing the golden ornament on the left side of her hair. I suggest you watch the official video in KZfaq:Tanxugueiras - TERRA (Official Lyric Video), in what you can activate subtitles in English, to understand the lyrics, listen to it several times, even while doing something everyday, and then watch the Benidorm Fest final performance. KZfaq: Tanxugueiras - "Terra" Benidorm Fest 2022 The Grand Final. I list you some videos of this group published on KZfaq in which you will observe an evolution.

Tanxugueiras a Eurovision!!! 👑👑👑

From the beginning it was between those two. Tanxu and Rigoberta. Chanel managed to create a whole euro-myth around her name, whether she wins or not. She was mind-blowing. But let’s be honest, the best song in this selection is Terra. Ay Mama is an anthem of course, the last chorus climaxes so well, brings tears. However, Tanxugueiras are the most dynamic entry that we’ve seen in ESC in so many years now. They are pure fire, bringing goosebumps even with a “confused” staging and many direction faults. If they’re to get better in all aspects and make it even more wholesome (don’t forget Olaia had covid up until Thursday), I really believe they could turn the table on Saturday night. At least I hope so. Ay Mama is the clear favourite though, Spanish people love it.

Galician culture (including language) is very similar to irish, actually Galicia and Ireland share a lot of history. We are both descedent from celts, we were both individual kingdoms once absorbed by alliances and fights with other kingdoms. We were both despised about this by central governments and both created nationalist feelings about our costumes. We are both fishers, farmers and emigrant people. We both left middle age social and land distribution very late in history due to a revolt of farmers and peasants against the nobles who possessed all the lands. Land is the soul of irish and galician people alike. We like making our life by working the land and the sea. Our language has the same ancestor than portugueese (the galician-portugueese) and it's older than spanish itself. It was used 1 thousand years ago specially for official documents in Spain. Alphonse X (the Wise) of Castilla even wrote poetry in galician-portugueese language in the 13th century, but after that it was forbidden by the kings of Castilla and Aragon when they united most of the actual territory of Spain, including Galicia. In the 40 years that dictator Franco was alive it was banned too and not recognized as official (despite Franco itself was galician), but the truth is my grandparents didn't know to speak spanish properly and they spoke galician natively, as their parents before them, and that was the case for the 99% of Galicia population. The same happens with the music you hear in that song and the dances as well. The most popular music and dancing in Galicia is the "muiñeira" (the miller) and it has that name because it was actually performed in the mills. Those mills, until not long ago, were the point of reunion of farmers. They spent hours waiting in turns to mill the grain, so they took food, wine, pipes and tambourines, and they played and danced for many hours even in the night. People invented lyrics and tunes, most of them with light erotic double meanings, because they were joyful songs, for laughing and enjoying. There are other styles, some more dramatic, some more nostalgic, but most of the contents in the lyrics talk about Galician idiosyncrasy. That music is so familiar to me, it's the music my grand grandparents danced, played and sang with pipes, tambourines and drums. The song Terra is a typical alalá for voices and tambourines alone. It is losing interest in most young people, but it is still well known by around 2 million gallician people.

Noosh, we Galicians love you even more after this reaction💖THANK YOU!!!🙋🏻

La única vez que España podria impactar positivamente y un jurado incapaz lo hizo imposible. Sres, vamos a vender la multicultura que tiene España y no más de lo mismo. Quiero que anulen el resultado y que vote el pueblo!!!!!!

T his is Celtic music from Spain. The culture of Western Spain is largely Celtic as in Scotland, Ireland or Brittany in France.

YES! THANK YOU! Geez, it was not just our impression, someone from another country sees it as well, this is different from all the " hot latino plastic stereotypes" people are expecting from us. And this is purely Spanish, right from our traditional music and History. It's tribal, bewitching as you said, the song is about tradition and matriarchal inheritance. Thank you so much for your true feelings, music connects the all of us.

TANXUGUEIRAS FOR EUROVISION ❤️

I want this to win because it’s something different and memorable, and it grabbed me from first listen. My absolute favourite in the competition is Blanca Paloma, but that doesn’t seem as popular with jurors or public. It’s impossible to tell at this point what will do well with jurors at Eurovision, but I feel like Terra may do better than others for sheer being different and memorable.

Thanks for your reaction english pretty, this song was our best, grettings from La Coruña

It's Galician language. A small region in the north-west of Spain. This song is full of our tradition with a modern twist! Really nice❤️✨❤️✨❤️!

The music is a traditional galician rythm called Muiñeira. It's a 6/8 compass, like the irish and scottish Jig and could be performed with singing (with tambourines) or with galician bagpipes and drums. It's a dance rythm which the dancers perform in a modern version. The golden makeup is based on the galician traditional jewelery (which they wear as well). The costumes are modern versions (with trousers instead of skirts) of traditional galician costumes.

Love your reaction, your celtic roots were talking!!!

Goosebumps, awesome Tanxugueiras

Chanel is a good product, but Rigoberta and Tancugueira's are unique and new songs that move real and forgotten feelings.

Epic song!♡

Thank you, Noosh for your emotion while listening to the song and your comments. Let's see how they perform tomorrow 😍

No one is saying this is not Spain.... Spain voted for this song wtf?! They won the popular vote, so Spain loves them. The problem were the "expert panel of judges" and half of them were not even Spanish.... This is the song that won the heart of Spanish people.

The song that Spain wanted. Just five people decided that another person represented the country, which IS fine, Cuz corruption has always been something Spain has been well-known for.

No te conozco pero me transmites muy buenas vibes, saludos desde Galicia,España ❤️

Maravillosas muiñeiras contemporáneas. Ojalá el jurado profesional rectifique y sumen votos del público, del que son favoritas y así nos representen en Eurovisión

Tanxugueiras power!!

This really could have given Spain their first victory in over 50 years. Damn.

#TanxugueirasEurovisión ❤️❤️❤️

They are the best. Son as mellores Tanxugueiras

Tanxugueiras released their third album, “Diluvio” (Deluge) on july 29, 2022 and are presenting their "Midas" tour throughout Spain on these dates

Imagine this performance with a complete choir of Galícia sincers and traditional dancers in this costume....!!! Apart from this spectacularity, this song is worthy for it's message "there are no frontiers" and for the fact that it shows Spanish cultural diversity, our combinación of tradition and openess to New things and new people and other ways of being, feeling and thinking, that's our real treasure and the value of this song. Love from Barcelona to the diversity of people in this world!

They are from Galicia, a northern part of Spain. Galicians used to be the celts of Spain, maybe that’s why you felt the song was “tribal”. For me, this show was very special because for first time they speak in the cooficial languages of the country (gallego, euskera and Catalan). Very emocional 💔

Its a bit unfair how the organisation used the camera angles with them. for example, they got barelly any close ups, while rigoberta got a lot

The best song ever Tanxugueiras for ever Tanxugueiras eurovision

Taxungueiras must win! I'm crying

Galego, euskera, Valencià, catala, mallorquí, Asturia, aragonés, castellano canario leones manchego extremeño andaluz... Somos un país increíble

To me this is one of the best song I ever heard in a Eurovision contest, very sad chanting but talking about a world with no borders. Beautiful

Wow, this song is amazing, Spain might definitely win this year, in Europe we love it!! Saludos desde Albacete.

Thank you so much for reacting in such a positive and enlightened way to Tanxugueiras' performance. I believe that event if they aren't to participate in the festival they are already winners. They have won the heart of a nation but better than that, they have unified Spain in only one sentence "No hay fronteras" From Houston TX, USA.

Love this song,strong,beautifull,fantastic.

vivan as TANXUGUEIRAAAAAAASSSS

Thank you for you video!

I'm so happy to watch many reactions to Tanxugueiras. I really appreciate your words and your support. Thank you so much! Greetings from Galicia. There's a lot of talented people in our region, and now the world is realising about it. Again, thank you so much! PD: you can hear a lot of songs with the same music style because it's our identity.

Tanxugueiras have released three albums; "TANXUGUEIRAS" (2018), "CONTRAPUNTO" (2019) and "DILUVIO" (2022) and have performed in Spain and abroad. In the first two albums, "TANXUGUEIRAS" and "CONTRAPUNTO" the songs are exclusively traditional like "O Querer" or "Albedrío" in which the power and coordination of their voices and their mastery of the tambourine can be clearly appreciated. In their latest album "DILUVIO" (deluge) released on 07/29/2022 they mix Galician folklore with other more modern styles. Of almost all the songs you can find official videos on KZfaq where you can set the subtitles in Castilian (Spanish) and in other languages such as Terra, Figa, Midas, Averno, Pano Corado, Desidia, Seghadoras and Fame de odio. For other songs there is only the official audio, such as Arica and Sorora and the instrumentals Treboada and Acougo. As they point out in their official website, in the album "DILUVIO", the "cantareiras" (galician word that means women who sing) question alleged faults or capital sins installed in society. To the seven "original": envy (Figa), greed (Midas), anger (Averno), lust (Pano Corado), laziness (Desidia), gluttony (Fame de odio), pride (Arica) they add three more: homogeneity (Terra), hostility (Seghadoras) and patriarchy (Sorora). Beliefs that after the storm (Treboada) they have decided to turn into transforming lessons for life: a deluge of self-acceptance, diversity, free love, empowerment and recovery of traditions in modern times. In these and upcoming dates they are giving concerts throughout Spain solo or in festivals with other artists presenting their "Midas" tour. On their official website, which can be configured in Galician or Spanish languages, there is information about the band, their albums and concerts of the current tour. On KZfaq there are many videos of the tour, some of them quite good like their concert in Cadiz, To see it type in KZfaq: Concierto Tanxugueiras (Plaza de San Antonio - Jueves de Carnaval 2022)

I really hope they win as they are representing all the languages and cultures and diversity tht spain has to offer, and that moves me deeply. And they talk bout feminism too.

ESTA NOITE HAI FOLIADAAA

Rigoberta and Tanxugueiras for Eurovision, they both are amazing and different. They absolutely deserve to be there!

It's a modern take on the traditional folklore of Galicia, in Spain. They are absolutely amazing.

Agreed a 100 %. Channel song received from the popular vote, only 4% of the votes, but this galego group received the most votes. At the end the judges decided to choose Channel.

It's galician lenguaje, and the song it's based un tradicional music with electronic parts. So amazing

My favorite song is terra! It is unique. Rigoberta is similar another songs.

TANXUGUEIRAS TO EUROVISION🔥❤️🔥❤️

This song was created as a memorial for Women: TANXUGUEIRAS say: "TO THE ALL WOMEN THAT WERE BEFORE, THE ONES WHO ARE NOW, AND THE ONES BECAME TO COME. Spain is so plural... in this song you listen 4 co official languages and the closing part in made with sign language. "NO FRONTIERS", "THEY CAME TO STAY"... in reference to our ancient matriarchal culture specially in GALICIA and north part of Spain. Best wishes.

Hi!!! They are great!!! In the presentation you can see a lot of our Galician roots. The song has unique resources of our language (Galician), besides including parts in other languages and dialects of our country. As for the clothes they wear, they are inspired by our traditional Galician costume, the jewelry is equally traditional and even the braid. The dance step you see (the two boys dancing with the girl), is a step that is done in our traditional dance, which is called, Muñeira, we can even claim the use of the tambourine, which is closely linked to our culture. As you can see, they have a strong message that they not only transmit with the lyrics of the song, but also with their appearance and staging. It's a shame they didn't win, few songs say and represent as much as this one. I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks for your support! It means a lot for us here in Galicia. ❤️🥺❤️

Estas tres mujeres tendrían que haber ganado. Me encanta también Bandini... Cualquiera de las dos opciones me habría vuelto loca 💘💘

El sentimiento y la calidad, traspasa cualquier frontera

The song goles deeply on tradicional dance, músic and folklore from Galicia, also they create a song where includes the same sentence " there are not frontiers" on catalán, gallego, euskera and in asturiano (also a language from latín as gallego and catalán but not officially recognised). The folks, músic, dance un north of Spain are directly related with Celtics (bagpipes,mithology...etc) tanxugueiras song IS one project inclusive, showing Europe that spaniards are not only "toros,paella y playa". Amazing song, sadly they didnt win

I'm from Spain so i can put a little context here.. This song is from a north region of Spain which was historically known as a witches land among many zones in the north here as well. That's why i think it gives this feeling of magic and coven with the melodies and stuff. Also, the dancers are dancing to a traditional dance from Galicia (the heart of this song) called "Muñeira", therefore is such an honor to see this kind of dance in Eurovision. Here in Spain we tend to underestimate some dialects just because, and i feel ashamed for it as dialects is precisely what enrich our culture as a country. Anyways, this year, the most of us are proud of this song because we feel this represents the past of so many, it tells a story, and it's different. The last point is what is taking back the professional judges from giving this song a great score, which is ridiculous because imp that's a bonus. Anyways, sorry for the long rant, i just wanted to put some context to the song with my no-so-good english, and appreciate the fact that you reacted to it, and give spanish people another point of view so we all can agree this song hits different. Thank you for your respectful video and your time, and i will make sure to watch all your reviews! PS. I'm specially intrigued for you to watch Marta Sango's "sigues en mi mente" idk it's not really my type but i'd like to see what you think about it :P

Finalmente, la industria discográfica (que no el jurado popular), dio como vencedora a Chanel que irá a Eurovisión con el tema "Slomo". Aunque podría ir con esta canción serbia de Dara del 2017... y no se notaría mucho la diferencia. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pd-Xp7Kor63Ih2Q.html a través de @KZfaq

They sing in 'galego', it is a language from the northwest of Spain (Galicia). The dance is a traditional Galician dance. The music and dance have Celtic roots. Regards from Galicia!

I'm proud of las tanxus and i'm from south spain 😂

Tanxugueiras (pronounced tan-shoo-ge-ee-ras) created a mix of electronic and traditional Galician music. Galicia is in NW Spain and her culture and language are not that well known even inside Spain. This type of traditional song is called an "Alalá", like the part of the chorus you sang along to 😜 It's not shown up close, and it's hard to hear, but there's also a kind of traditional scream in there too (when one of the singers goes back to the platform on the back) which is called "aturuxo". The lyrics are a mix of traditional song and modern verses composed by them.

Take a look to the new song of Tanxugueiras feat Rayden "Averno "...is just amazing😍

A lot of people think that Spain has just got one language but it also has eskuera, catalán and galego. This song in particular is in galego and it comes from a typical type of song called airalalalá. The three singers are pandereteiras, which are the women who play the instrument they had on stage at one point of the performance. The dance the men do us a typical spanish dance called “jota”. They say a phrase in the chorus which translates to “there are no borders”, and everytime they say it in a different language spoken in spain, but they also sign it at the end (sign language). They explained in a video that they wanted to show that there shouldn’t be borders with the languages we speak because at the end of the day we’re all people. Un beso desde españa

The Best tanxugueiras ♥️

Celtic dance of Galicia

The speak in Galego, from Galicia, but hey also speak in two other lenguages of Spain. And you say it sooo well, they are like MEIGAS, Galician’s witches😍 I love this song, love their voices, and I don’t know what song to choose between Rigoberta and Tanxugueiras… Spain it’s on 🔥

The ONLY thing, and really the ONLY thing that I have to complain about this performance is just the disconnect that happens when the dancers take up the tambourines and just stand there. It's sort of out of the blue. You've got these beautiful dancers come out and then suddenly they're wallart and then they're back again. Bit adrupt

Top top 👌👌👌👌 the best song to represent Spain

I love them! But right now I don’t know who I want to win because I was blown away by SloMo by Chanel and I also like Ay Mama by Rigoberta, so I guess I’ll just stay confused until tomorrow and see what happens 🙃

It is traditional Galician music. Galicia is in the Northwest of Spain. Such an amazing place. Come visit.

LA CULTURA GALLEGA ES DE ORÍGEN CELTA. MUY BONITA.

Tanxugueiras🔝🔝🔝
