This Saturday, February 4, he has given us the choice of the singer who will represent Spain at Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool. Blanca Paloma takes over from Chanel with her song ‘Ea Ea’ after winning the Benidorm Fest against an imposing Agoney, a catchy ‘Nochentera’ by Vicco and the rest of the competitors (Karmento, David Otero, Fusa Nocta, Megara and Alice Wonder). But what is behind our new national emblem?
This singer of 34 years born in Elche study Fine Arts in Madrid and was dedicated to scenography and to the wardrobe of plays before being a singer. A profession that has undoubtedly contributed to Blanca Paloma making her number an authentic show and the perfect candidacy for our country in Eurovision 2023. A woman of race and with a very marked style who thanks her ancestors.
“I think it was due to the absence of my grandparents, who were the ones who brought flamenco to the family. I felt this call from flamenco to study it, sing it and make it my own. I wanted to vindicate the lullaby as a work song, perhaps the first of humanity, insofar as it is sung by a mother who raises her baby and because I think it’s beautiful that it’s the first music we hear apart from the rhythm of the heart; that being sung all over the world, even in different ways, is always a transmission of love”, she commented in an interview with the agency ‘Europa Press’.
This is the second time that Blanca Paloma appears at the Benidorm Fest (which only has two editions as a recent TVE “talent”) since it coincided with Chanel and Rigoberta Bandini in the 2022 edition with their song ‘Secret of the water’.
He has Sevillian roots on his father’s side. As a curious aspect, the candidate to win Eurovision in Liverpool She is the sister of one of the members of the mythical group of ‘Eurojunior’ who sang ‘Navigando por la red’Sara Ramos, who tried to represent us in the children’s contest together with MarĂa JosĂ© and Ăšrsula.
