So what do we think? Are happy with how this is staged? Please let me know in the comments below :-)

Spanish Tanxugueiras fans don't expect Terra to be liked by someone who doesn't understand what It symbolizes. Terra is the representation that Spain is multicultural, that Spain is Galicia, Asturias, País Vasco, Andalucía, Cataluña and the other autonomous communities. The performance os inspired by the tradicional dances of the diferent regions of Spain, as is the costumes.We are deeply proud of Tanxugueiras and their song for that It means, and because it represent us. Tanxugueiras to Turin!. Ailalaaa!!!

I hope they will win. They are so strong and very original. This is a not pop song or pop balad. This is a modern/tradicional Galicia song and I love it. This is will be the first time that Spain go to Eurovision with other oficial language from Spain different to Spanish! Come on!!!!

Terra is spectacular

From an Asturian living abroad, I get very emotional with Terra and Taxungueiras....they must win otherwise it's fixed

The repetitive and short letter has a reason. The song is based on the traditional songs of Galicia, which are like that, repetitive and often unconnected, to seek that necessary hypnotism in ritual dances. This goes back to the origins of Europe, to Celtic songs and other similar cultures. That's why, no matter where you're from, listening to this song connects you with your most ancestral self, it's like hearing the voice of your ancestors.

Their vocals were some of the strongest of the night for me, though I thought their staging was a little messy and needs some refining. That might help the camera guys find some better shots too. But even then, I was beyond surprised the juries placed this fifth. It will be very interesting to see how it does in the final against the songs from semi 2.

Por primera vez tenemos una opción diferente, valorada por los europeos, que representa a la España de 2022 y de calidad! #tanxugueiraseurovision 💪

The dancers are dancing “muiñeira”,but the singers are singing a traditional “pandereteira song”. The singing of the pandereteiras is actually a lot mor complex and nuanced than what they are doing,probably because otherwise the folky tone with be excessive. The pandereteiras have always sounded exotic to me,being Galician,because they have a kind of mystic derviche - like spirit.

Impresionante grandioso 👏 viva Galicia y los gallegos eurovision

Im spanish, Galician in fact, so I watch the reaction of the audience and they were mad, jeering to the jury I was pissed because even in Portugal cheers us up with this group and Salvador Sobral showed it in the festival. From what we know about the RTVE we are thinking that is everything already spoken with the jury to create the drama and the sppectation so they will do that festival more times. I hope they will win and if that happens the vast majority will be extremely happy

Tanxugueiras are from Galicia, at the northwest of Spain . They sing in gallego, the galician language. They often collaborate with other singers.

FUN FACTS: The Galician language for those who try to defame it was used in the Spanish Royal Court by King Alfonso X. For those who want to take away its prominence (RTVE - SPANISH TV CORP): During the XIV-XV centuries, the lyrical and literary themes of greater diffusion in Europe are collected in Galician language. Therefore, if Galicians know one thing, it is to sing with SENTIDIÑO!

TANXUGUEIRAS amazing song. Big very big

NO HAY FRONTERAS #TANXUGUEIRAS #TERRA#MI REPRESENTA 💯✌️

They are fantastic tanxugueiras

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

Great video and I like the song.

I LOVE tanxugueiras increíbles 🎶🎶🎶🎶👏😎🎵

Different tanxugueiras!!!greatttt!!!!!

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.

Son las mejores, the best

Esta claro, terrible lo de las cámaras, dejaron tanto que mostrar, sobre todo a nuestras tanxugueiras..apresar de todo I LOVE tanxugueiras ♥️

Spanish TV organizer does not want a Galician song representing Spain, so they make a bad camera performance and have a jury who voted this group as the worst.

I was desesperately waiting for your reaction asjakdjskfnskgsngkgnjdkg. They are my favourites and I love the performance, even though it needs some changes as you said ♥

SALUDOS DESDE BARCELONA ESPAÑA GALICIA TERRA MEIGA!

terra for the win the best

Terra! ✊🏽🔥💜

Wow that was good! But they need more powerfull ending.

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)

You can serch for the most ancient kindom of Europe, that is Galicia’s kingdom from the five century. They people are celtics like irish, we have drums too, pipes and bagpipes.

the song is a tribute to the empowerment of women. These women collect traditional Galician music from the villages so that they do not get lost since they were transmitted orally since they did not know how to read or write. In the song they say to get together and sing like our mothers. Also saying that as they are now written and saved they say "they have come to stay". the music is based on the Galician muñeira but modernized and they do it so that it reaches more people, that's why the "there are no borders" thing, they are going to go beyond the borders of Galicia. Galicia is a historical nationality, one of the 17 communities that make up Spain, which has its own language and culture. This Tanxugueiras group wants to merge the traditional with the mederno to reach the new generations to preserve the traditional. Hence the change in his work, you can see it on his KZfaq channel and you will see the difference. I leave you a link to his new work, a fusion of traditional music with urban music, the lyrics belong to traditional popular lyrics. I'm glad I surprised you. google translate, sorry. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bt6oarenxNLLkWQ.html

The dance is traditional dance but the skirt is a modern version of the ones women use when doing that dance. The whole theme of the performance was mixing modern and traditional (just like the song does) but the producers messed up. There's a time the three of them get together in the middle and look as if they were doing witchcraft but the camera was miles away from them so it isn't that noticeable!! (Witchcraft and witches are another pilar of Galicia's culture)

In the video of KZfaq: Tanxugueiras - TERRA (Lyric Video Oficial) the lyric of the song is on the right in the original language, galician, and the subtitles in spanish but you can activate subtitles in english in configuration.

They ended up winning 70% of the popular vote...

Tanxugueiras - "Terra" Benidorm Fest 2022 La Gran Final is much better than the SemiFinal

Hi ^^ the song might sound a bit repetitive due to its folkloric nature. "Ailaralala" is a traditional Galician "tune" that is often repeated over and over again. On the other hand, they repeat "There are no frontiers" in all the official languages of Spain, in Asturian (officially classified as a dialect) and in sign language. The point of the song is to be inclusive.

Ok, so you uploaded Terra and I was just looking for it. Start watching🙂

Orgullo Celta de una sangre guerrera y umilde Recordando el pasado el presente y el futuro que todos queremos Sin fronteras Viva Galicia y la paz en el mundo.

The loop is because they are singing a tradicional song from Galicia named munyeira . I love them . The dancers also are dancing munyeira too.

Audios from the new Tanxugueiras album "DILUVIO" released on 07/29/2022: Treboada: downpour. Prelude to the coming deluge. Half minute instrumental. On KZfaq: Tanxugueiras Treboada. Arica: action of "aricar" (galician word) or superficial plowing to remove weeds and sow. It speaks of arrogance. On KZfaq: Tanxugueiras Arica Sorora: defense of matriarchy. On KZfaq:Tanxugueiras Sorora. This song is fully folkloric, with only voices and tambourines. Acougo: calm, tranquility after the deluge. Instrumental of 10 seconds. On KZfaq: Tanxugueiras acougo.

The song and vocals are by far the best. But they need to rework the staging and camera work which was a mess because they didn't had enough time to prepare it well. This is just pure magic and it would be shame not to have this in Eurovision

Chanel no tiene 55 años, ella nació en 1991 y tiene 31 años, las chicas de Tanxugueiras tienen respectivamente Aida Tarrío (24 años), Olaia Manero (31) y Sabela Maneiro (31), Olai Maneiro y Sabela Maneiro son hermanas.

The right pronunciation is TANSHOEGAYRAS

You have to react to the song "Figa" with which they became known to the eurofans and that motivated them to appear at the benidorm fest. The video clip is impressive and I think I'm not mistaken that it's their best song to date. Song they published 6 months ago. A visual gem worth seeing. Pdt: Figa, a fist-shaped amulet used against witches ("meigas" in the Galician language).

Terra is like a tipycal tradicional song's in galicia❤

I agree with you. If I had a little more strength at the end of the song it would already be unbeatable. The dancers are dancing the muiñeira, the most traditional dance in Galicia. Everything is authentical and traditional, and they know how to give it that point of modernity so that you don’t even know that all that is on stage is really centuries of history, of our history. Root music, authentic and heartfelt. 💪👏👏👏👏

Great concert of Tanxugueiras at Riazor beach in A Coruña (city of Galicia in Spain) on 12/08/2022. Spectacular start with the song "Arica", wise combination of pure traditional songs like "O Querer " or "Albedrío" with the "capital sins" of his latest album "Diluvio" and the apotheosis end with "Terra". Large audience, about 80.000 people, ,of all ages including children. Several videos are already uploaded on KZfaq. Type: Tanxugueiras Riazor 2022 I specially recommend two videos where you can see the whole concert: Type: Tanxugueiras actuando en la playa de Riazor (A Coruña) 12/08/202. This video has two parts. At the end of the first one wait a few seconds and the second one starts. Type: Concierto Tanxugueiras - Noroeste Estrella Galicia (A Coruña 2022) Two other short but interesting videos in which the Tanxugueiras appear from behind: Type: Tanxugueiras. Espectacular!!!! Coruña, 12 de Agosto de 2022

TANXUGUEIRAS videos released in May and June 2022 KZfaq: TANXUGUEIRAS - Pano Corado (Official Video Clip) Release date: 13/05/2022 It means cloth of all colors. The song is about the freedom to love and enjoy sexual identity. KZfaq: TANXUGUEIRAS - Desidia (Official Video Clip) Release date: 03/06/2022 It is laziness, negligence. The song, through a literal reference to the movements, points and turns of the Galician dance, vindicates the need for self-care and the importance of listening to our body in order to move forward. KZfaq: TANXUGUEIRAS - Seghadoras (Official Video Clip) Release date: 24/06/2022 It is about taking the sickle to mow down the hostility and leaving everything bad behind, betting on you to advance on your path. Being aware of who you are and that the decisions you make are yours. In these videos the subtitles are in Galician but you can activate them in configuration in Spanish, English and other languages.

...and here it‘s the other way round.. fantastic vocals but the staging needs work.. it’s okay thou.. for them to end up 5th with the jury was ridiculous.. I do get behind it, that they didn’t win the jury, but they should have been at least third.. anyway.. it’s important they qualified.. ^_^

I like that song 👌👌

You should react to the new song of tanxugueiras feat muerdo " cambia todo"

A nos non nos fai falta ir a Eurovisión Pois TERRAXá gañou a moita xente!👏👍💪🤍💙🤍

TANXUGUEIRAS, new video, released 29/07/2022: KZfaq: Tanxugueiras - Fame de Odio (Videoclip Oficial) Fame de odio (in galician language) or Hambre de odio (in spanish)-Hungry for hate: about gluttony, to bet on a new learning: the beauty of body diversity The subtitles are in Galician but you can activate them in configuration in Spanish, English and other languages.

Indeed, the men wear a traditional garment to dance this music... but it is the women's garment. The men wear pants and the women skirt, also in the tradition of the muñeiras (the name of thise folk dance).

Totally agree with you Shane, for me it also feels like short, and I wonder if that is on purpose to develop for the final Eurovision performance... cheers! :)

Must admit I enjoyed it. I found the dance section with the two guys and lady to be very reminiscent of folk music & the guys are wearing kilt like gear. Agree re the climax of the song - perhaps a revamp needed esp with more layering of the three vocal lines.

Wise comments,although Tanxugueiras are my favourite by far. But,again,I am Galician.

The problem is that you are not watching the big final, in this Performance they complained about the camera shots being terrible (some think it was on purpose). Watch the big final and you will then be impartial. Chanel had to win because it was what they wanted

The camera angles are much better in the grand finale. In the semifinal you don't see anything that they really transmit

This is much, much better live, but still can't see it connecting with enough people at Eurovision. One interesting point about the voting system being used, it is what was used to choose Mahmood from San Remo. He also didn't win the public vote and we know how well that turned out for Italy. They got over the initial backlash quite quickly.

Tan-shoo-gay-ras! They have Celtic heritage in Galicia

This was initially my favourite song wise but I found the performance a tiny bit underwhelming… I think the 2 men are not needed. Looking forward to Rayden now!

The pronunciation is: Tan-shoe-gay-ras. 😊

The screams are called "aturuxos"

Si tea gustado Tierra de tanxugueiras tienes que ver los videos (FIGA) (MIDAS) (AVERNO) (MUERDO) te gustaran. desde GALICIA (España)😜😜😜😜 un abrazo

As far as I know, song structure has been taken from Galician tradicional music ("muñeiras"), so I think that's why they didn't want to change it. Both Tanxugueiras and the song are great, but fan expectations were too high (fire in the stage, witchcraft kind of things and lots of crazy stuff). They won public voting, though, and have the strongest support here in Spain. I know jury voting placed them fifth, but just one point under third and fourth placed contestants (if I'm not mistaken), and I can relate to that feeling as Chanel and Blanca Paloma really did such wonderful performances and Tanxugueiras' was just ok. I don't really get all the noise fans are making regarding the jury.

This song’s performance fell a bit flat for me, which is a pity because it’s a great song! The camera did not serve them well, it was all over he place. Tan-shoe-gay-ras 😉 now I’m expecting you get it right next time 😜 Looking forward to the rest of your reactions.

I think fans hate their performance too much. I liked most of the staging, I only think that it should be performed in more professional way and camera shots should be better, but this is good. I still hope they win. 😪

"TAN SHU GEIRAS" 😉

Terra hits on most tribal and mistic side of our spanish core. not neat and produced as SloMo is true, but maybe it's the rawness and folk sound driver us strongly to LOVE It, instead of a song that puts very "american latino" sound that we don't really relate.

Reaction to other sons of tanxugueiras, MIDAS, AVERNO, RYDEN, MUERDO PLEASE THANKS

I enjoyed the performance also and would not be suprised if they climb to the number one spot because of its uniqueness. But my winners of the night were Paloma and Chanel.

A classic case where a favourite fails to live up to the expectations you have created in your head. I do really like this song, and vocally they were great. But the staging was just really disappointing for me, far too many wide/long shots and the dancers just didn't work for me. If I am being honest, I think I would have preferred them to just be on the stage standing in front of a microphone stand 🤣. If this was to win the staging would need to be changed in my opinion, because this wouldn't do well with the international public/jurors. It's interesting you mentioned about pyro, because I feel that used in the right places would really be effective. But no one used pyro last night (that I can remember), so I am assuming it wasn't an option to use it. So hopefully if chosen at least some pyro can be utilised in Turin.

WHAT IS YOUR TOP 5?

I liked it .. I’m kinda underwhelmed tho.. i watched it live and mostly everyone was like meh.. there is something wrong there

The camera work is a disaster, no closeups of the singers but random close ups of the drummer and dancers all the time. One of the girls goes to the back of the stage at some point for no apparent reason. We have absolutly no idea what's going on on the large screens. There is no focus on anything happening on the stage. The girls had a very cool make up that we barely get to see. I don't see any progression in the performance, a bit of a mess.

Of course we we're rooting for Tanxugueiras, but that stage and performance was a little bit disappointing, hope they fix it, cause they have a good song and voices to slay that final

You should listen the other live version, it’s way better

Tanxugueiras are very strong, lot of feeling singing, they are the best but spanish tv is corrupt

Reminds me of the polish throatsingers from 2019 - which did not go to the final. These voices goes on my nerves - for me the slick Chanel is a better choice.

escucha a muerdo y tanxugueiras /cambia todo o figa o midas

The performance was messy, need to tighten up. Yes its repetative and for me it goes a bit boring. Men dancing in skirts is a plus - but they should not lump together with the singers as they did in parts of the performance.

tan-shu-gay-ras

Great reaction!! I do agree that the staging falls a bit flat in terms of epicness after the bridge, if they brought it to the next level and added some fire or pyrotechny shooting up from the stage... that would be the cherry on top. And yes, camera angles were a bit off especially for them... There are rumours about the TV station doing it on purpose, which I wouldn't be surprised by... knowing that the jury didn't want them on the final judging and that it's not the first time a song that is not in Spanish get sabotaged its way out of the competition. We will see what happens tonight, but I would really like to see this going to Eurovision. As someone who belongs to this culture, it makes me tear up just watching it be represented on Benidorm Fest. I'm so proud of them!

Estas viendo la primera semifinal que no vale para nada. Mira la gran final hicieron unos cambios notables

So tenemos algo de cultura celta cantan en gallego la que a ganadobes muy mala hay milesvde canciones como esta es muy latino americana y lasbtanxungeiras es español

I dont think its that special really... Theres alot if room for improvement but the song isnt what the dramatic fans make it out to be.... It is memorable though

Its a shame that fake jury did not do a good job for Spain the Tanxugueiras should have win

Pronunciation: Tan-shoe-'gay-ras

En lugar de hablar tanto. Por qué no lo hacéis también con el lenguaje de signos?😉👍👌💪🔥

I don't speak Galician but this song róncalle o nabo de moito carallo

Try to pronounce this.... " Tan shoo gay`re us". It is easy.. 😉

tan-shoe-gay-rights okay?

Chanel doesn't represent me as a Spanish ... Doesn't represent our culture. lyrics are sexist and out of date... !! Come on. TANXUNGUEIRAS are representing q part of a Spanish culture. Celtic roots, galician folklore, the power of earth and that there are not boundaries... the diversity and mix of different cultures are making us who we really are . Empowerment of women * as pandeireteiras * . Judges didnt do a good job at all. All spanish people are sad now and feeling no represented at all . One of judges is totally linked to Chanel . KIND Of producer or so.... coincidence? Definitely it was a huge FIX. RIGOBERTA also was an amazing option with those feminist lyrics of *breast feeding freedom*. I'm not gonna even watch it.

Chanel was way much better in terms of a show

Super flat and lost of the energies.They flopped hard.

The right pronunciation is TANSHOEGAYRAS. Look at the video: DígochoEu How to say Tanxugueiras
