Blanca Paloma, the representative of Spain in Eurovision 2023, visited ‘El Hormiguero’ this Tuesday. The singer surprised the audience with a new acoustic version of ‘Eaea’. Accompanied only by a guitar, her voice and her talent, Blanca gave the entire audience goosebumps in an almost improvised performance. In fact, she had prepared the song herself that very afternoon.
The singer is happy with the work that will be presented in the Liverpool final on May 13. «I at least am very satisfied with the show we have. I really want to defend him again. In addition, it is having a very good reception, I have seen some reaction from the Europeans », she pointed out. A very different song that, as she explained, is the first song in the history of Eurovision that goes to the bulería beat.
The Spanish representative spoke with Pablo Motos about various topics. Among them, the origin of the song. It can be the ‘eaea’ of cradling, or of making war, of making a fuss. It comes from folklore, from lullabies », she specified, after affirming that flamenco is a very forceful term for which she has a lot of respect. For this reason, she prefers to say that “it’s a song like Blanca Paloma and José Pablo Polo”.
As happened to Chanel, the Benidorm Fest catapults singers to fame. And Paloma explained it: “I’m already on the subway and they recognize me, this is new to me,” she said. Although now he bikes everywhere. “I’m the ‘bicimami’,” she joked, alluding to Rosalía’s popular song.
Chanel came third in Eurovision last year. A very difficult position to repeat. However, Paloma is not afraid of this result, since she believes that the public “has its eyes set on Spain.”
