Thanks for your reaction. The cante itself, the music, is a bulería, one of the most recognizable and joyous forms of flamenco (included as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCU), and adds a modern touch of electronic rhythm to it. The theme and lyrics are taken from the point of view of a woman singing a lullaby, trying to put her crying baby to sleep ('Eaea' is a lullaby sound in Spain). The performances and staging are very "lorquianas" (full of allusions to the famous poet Federico García Lorca) and represent a ritual, an evocation of their ancestors. Especially to his late grandmother, to whom this song is inspired and dedicated, since she taught him and sang flamenco and lullabies to him. The repetitive pattern of the rhythm, the choruses and the rhythmic claps are meant to be entrancing to connect with the energy of the experience. The movements of his hands work as a compliment and a call to action. Blanca Paloma begins her staging inside a circular curtain inspired by the manila shawl that symbolizes protection, motherhood, in fact she said that it could be seen as a kind of womb and together with her stage partners she transforms her performance into a ritual of invocation, trance and catharsis, to connect with their ancestors and their indelible legacy. An explosion of sensitivity, truth and claw. The white circle represents the moon, where, as the lyrics say, she wants to be buried when she dies so she can care for her child every night but one ('new moon'). First he kneels looking up, then he kneels again, always with his hand outstretched. He then shoots a flaming arrow and sets it on fire (pulsing red light, heartbeat, blood, death) Finally, he goes up to the shrine to finish the ritual in ecstasy. This, in addition to a song, is an artistic experience! A little piece of Spanish culture and sending something so personal to show is what makes Eurovision special.

Do not worry if you feel that you do not like the song too much, the truth is that last year's representative had a little more movement and dance, but it did not express the Spanish essence in a pure way, this song is made to enjoy and appreciate the vocal quality of Blanca Paloma as a sentiment. Really, don't feel bad if you don't like it, many haven't liked it, but it's what we have and we're going to give it our all. Let us hope that Europe knows how to value what we bring. Thank you very much for the reaction!

I am not a Spaniard. Will not eat you. I understand you. I have liked the song, but also thought it is quite repetitive, but at the same time there is something hypnotic about it. Reading the lyrics (translation), it gives you a bit more of the mystical aura, because it takes you to some spiritual realm, Northern Africa. However, I have struggled a bit with this song. Although I believe you get more from the song as well after you learn the context, but the repetition is not something I admire. And there is no real surprise in the song, not momentum, other than the whole song. She's absolutely a good singer, but she is not the only one. It has been in my top 10, but can easily see it in top3, as well as out of the top 10. Who knows. 🙂

@@amsgoth Yeah, almost every song are repetitive in that sense, there is chorus and so. That is a certain pop standard that you have certain things in a song: bridges, choruses, intros, etc. When also the theme itself repeats itself and does not really evolve, it becomes overly repetitive, which could also mean it becomes something you can meditate to. And with the lyrics and singing, it will become more like a mantra. Some people like that kind of songs, some don't. As I am very into progressive rock/metal/electro etc. I am used to songs that do not really have an actual chorus, no bridges, there could for four or more genres in one song. But. Like listening to jazz, it might be quite hard to listen to and it is not something everybody appreciates. But also jazz, that evolves, could have a very repetitive theme. If the repetition is done with finesse, it could actually become meditative and could be interpreted as spiritual, and that is the thing with Eaea Eaea, but there is also this thing, that it could become quite boring to listen to very fast. If there was more progression, it would be more interesting. I do appreciate the performance and song so much that it has been in my top 10, but I can see that it could be very high in ESC final, or it could be out of the top 10. So, no worries with the repetition, if is done with finesse, but if it gets boring, it gets boring... No enough surprises, no enough of progression.

This is miles better than SloMo. Chanel performed it well, sang it a bit less well, and the song itself relied mostly on booty and being a generally cheap club song (they have their place, not saying that), but this is literally art. It just seems to fly past people's hearts and heads, while some are really deeply impacted by it (Conchita Wurst's reaction on youtube for example). Some people get it, some don't.

Exactly, most people are cheap so they like the crappy music that has a more of a mainstream kind of music instead of a song liek that that has a heart and a soul, they also can't feel the song whilst others that did like it could feel the song's emotions even without understanding the words.

It is a BULERIA ( one of the Best FLAMENCO style, ). All Updated with electronic instruments. People always accused to SPAIN, all, including inside Spain: Why ours songs didn't come from our roots. And now this? As professionañl musician 50 years as musician, playin around the world, the problem is go on in EUROVISION BLIND AND POLITICAL SONG CONTEST. One of my american friends said when he saw Eurovision and ask why Sweden vote to NORWAY or DENMARK, SWEDEN to FINLAND, neigbours, Chequia to Slovaquia... "BUT, BUT this is stupid, why are you going to this kind of corrupt festival? "Let's see what happen this year. And please remember it." I hate people yhat say they love Flamenco (in this case changed for this FESTIVAL woth instruments and some variations from a real BULERIA -this is the third part of a buleria.

Espera me equivoco a decir que tiene razón no te lo digo a ti . Sobre la cultura de tu país probablemente no te gusta tu propia cultura las personas que no le gusta las culturas de otros países no suelen gustarle estos tipos de música. También hay países que la gente ha borrado su propio folclore de la faz de la tierra. Dando comentarios como esta música son para my bisabuelos yo solo me gusta rock metal house trap Hard core o solo regueton con texto como mirar viejo si men encuentra en la calle te mató o por ejemplo poner otro texto que solo aboga por la violencia matar a gente ser un ganster etc ..

I never remove any comments. Ever. Because I believe everyone's entitled to their personal opinion, and there's a freedom of speech too. So I have no idea where did it go, as I haven't seen it and have no idea what it is you were saying there. My only guess is it might have landed in the "needs to be approved" box in KZfaq Studio, which I haven't checked in a few days. You're free to like or dislike whatever things and whatever much, it's your opinion, your choice, none of my business. But I would appreciate if I wasn't being bashed for no reason.

@@msfoxie Lol, well I guess it was an error or something, perhaps I was login in and out on another opened tab which caused me to think I was posting it and it didn't register beacause of it, well I forgive you :) haha so I removed the dislike, I'm sorry that I accused you of doing that, anyway, I recall that I told you to not ever post negative reviews (reactions) of music so it would be a win win situtation where you and the audience would be happy (since if it's a positive one then people would tend to like it more and would not leave bad and negative comments in the comment section), I think people should appreciate you being honest enough to say that you got disappointed but in reality it's not what's happening since they take it too personally (especially if they come from Spain) so it's better to simply not upload such videos of songs you don't like, just my little advice to you so you would do better on your channel. As for the song, I think it was a great performance full of emotion and beautiful authentic style mixed nicely and originally with a modern type of music in the background, Personally when I first heard it I could feel the song has soul and a heart and I didn't understand how some people would not get it and would stay heartless towards it but I guess it is a matter of personal taste so no matter how good and emotional and moving it is some people would still not like it and won't feel it at all and won't get impressed by it and that's fine, I don't know why I care so much about their opinion, I also didn't like other countries songs so it's fine.

I am Spanish and I don't like flamenco. I like this song because it's not typical flamenco it's modern and different. But you have to understand it to be able to like it, and I don't mean the translation of the lyrics which loss it's meaning. Risky choice from spain. Just because flamenco it's considered an art form, no everybody understand it and eurovision is a general song contest that values other things. So if you expect dance and rythm this is not that type of song. It'll all depend on the staging the the vibe of the day.
