𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒂'𝒔 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 is a folk spanish song with a modern twist.
On the 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 of the performance:
- The song genre is a '𝑏𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑖́𝑎' (kind of a specific subgenere of flamenco) with electronic touches.
- The lyrics of the song is a 𝑙𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑦.
'éa éa' is an onomatopeia in Spain we use to calm childrens while they are crying.
𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑜𝑒𝑚𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝐹𝑒𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑜 𝐺𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑖́𝑎 𝐿𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑎. One of the most important poets of Spain.
Is the story of a mother who want to be buried into the moon when she dies to see her child every night except one (new moon day).
- The 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 has been 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 and 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑒𝑑 by ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓. Until two years ago, Blanca worked as a set designer. She is not a professional singer.
The 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑒 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑚𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟. The red fringes recreate 'un mantón de manila'. A piece of clothing typical of the Spanish culture. Simulates the arms of her grandmother dressed with the 'mantón' hugging her.
The circle represents the moon.
The dancers also accompany her in the 'palmeo' and the choirs, with 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑝ℎ𝑦 𝑠𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑎 𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑒. Evoking the birth of a child .
So much behind this song! Thank u for this information!!! 😍
Fabuloso comentario 😍
I couldn't explain it better ;)
Es una canción para dormir niños , con electrónica mal puesta y un aquelarre lorquiano
Éa éa is that Spanish mothers say to calm their children while they are crying. The song tells the story of a mother who wants to be buried in the moon when she dies to see her child every night except one (the new moon day). The red strings of the staging are very typical in the Spanish flamenco costumes. Also the song has references to the poems of Federico Garcia Lorca, one of the most important poets of Spain. This is the most Spanish entry we ever had and we are so proud of her.
if you understand the lirycs, every thing she does takes sense. The moon, the hands placed like a birth canal where she puts her head lying down, the eye from the moon, the movements of the dancers as giving birth, the fringes of the shawl with which the mother gathers the child, ....
Thank u for this!!!! ❤️❤️
te he copiado este comentario de tu explicacion sobre la letra de la cancion para agregarlo a mi comentario y asi dar mas publicidad a la cancion ¿de acuerdo? SALUDIN DESDE ASTURIAS
@@MegaHEVIA Perfecto, cuanto más se difunda mejor
Emoción, sentimiento y ❤. Es arte desde 🇪🇸
You fall into the spell or you don't. That's all folks! 😂When you "think" this song is like seeing a building and analyzing it just checking the bricks. Anyway, it is ok if you don't like Eaea. I don't like Queen of Kings and people want to throw me into the fire.
Queen of Kings is good. I actually had it on repeat for a month and now it's just boring.
Same here with "chachachá" more than boring song that singer reminds me that one of that Mask movie dancing chachacha in a bad version. 🥴🙄😓

@@zangangi 😂😂😂 Well, I like Finland but I get your point. In my case, when I listen to Norway's entry I see cheerleaders here and there...everywhere.
@@Igraine2009 what an irony, here being concern of Blanca's is good understood in Europe. Flamenco feelings with that delicate and care performance, full of symbolism, and in the other hand you have that mess of staging, screaming "chachachá" and is the top for many. Come on. Dont spit on the cake and tell me is sugar. 🙄😓🥴thats much more a bad Carnaval show performance for laughing perphaps for a while, no more.
Basado en la poesía y teatro del Universal Federico García Lorca.
Blanca Paloma estudió Bellas artes en la universidad. Es coreógrafa también. Cantante extraordinaria. La mejor voz que hay de momento entre los representantes del festival.
Eaea es una nana. Sonido onomatopéyico que se usa en España para acunar a los niños. Texto lleno de poesía y amor. Representa el empoderamiento de la mujer. Gracias, Joel por tu reacción. Eres sensible y culto. Gunther, abre la mente y los oídos. Escucha sin prejuicios, por favor 😉
Saludos desde Madrid.
Amamos EAEA. Nos da igual el resultado del festival. Representa parte de nuestra riquísima cultura y bellísima y universal lengua materna.
❤❤❤🇪🇦🎶
I really like this song. Gives me holiday vibes. The staging is great. The flamenco influences are great. Keeps me mesmerized from start to end. Will do good i hope in eurovision. Hopefully top 10.
If that wont be at least the result It would be a dissapointed not for Blanca but for not appretiate all that Magic staging, voice and performance, full of symbolism and poesy of Passion and vibes of something really powerfull that brings this new Flamenco electronic style.
In Spain we say 'No está hecha la miel para la boca del asno' and i think its the perfect expression
Ja ja. Perfect expression. It applies to the guy on the right perfectly. He probably likes the so-called modern, libtard, American nonsense.
Yes!
Les falta un poco de sal
Absoluyty!!
Wanderful ❤!!! Amaizing. Great singer!! Lovely music. Art.
❤ OMG LOVE Spain blanca Paloma LOVE vocal interpretación es increíble arte y sentimiento LOVE Spain es hiznotica magica ❤
Spain❤❤❤❤
Ésta es una maravillosa "nana" o canción de cuna, con un lenguaje tierno y emotivo. Lástima que no sepáis español para entender su significado. Cualquier persona, con un mínimo de sensibilidad, se emociona al escuchar esta obra de arte.
Ea EA es imagino en principio difícil de comprender. La recomiendo volver a observar. Es un canto a la vida que guardamos de nuestros antepasados. Es típico con este canto adormecer y calmar a los bebés. Pero aquí Blanca le da mas un sentido de cohesión devolviendo esas canciones de cuna a su abuela paterna. Un abrazo desde Valencia.
Pasando de éstos
Spain's performance is pure art turned into music. Totally different from what was offered last year, but it contains vocal perfection, personality and an authentic flavor of Spain. No one else could bring something like that to Eurovision.🥰
2 people, 2 different opinions! What is your verdict on the Spanish song?
Maybe it's not a song to have in your spotify playlist while driving in your car, but it's amazing. Love it. Where are you from guys?
Love it !
12 points from portugal
This is art. It’s flamenco, opera, it is not pop. Does it have to be pop, isn’t that rather limiting? I love it, it’s emotional, it’s powerful, it’s definitely Spanish and in nothing but a good way, it’s Spanish passion and heart. It’s not for everyone, nothing ever is.
How to explain me in english....... I'll try. It's absolutely necessary to understand lyrics and what' s going on (I let you some explanation down). For me eurovision must to let the pop/rock/ballade stereotypes and let to know more about the music from different countries. Not all the music must be just in english, not all the music has to be "facilona" (not translation for it) it is not something easy to eat and taste the very first time. Like wine you need to be in use drinking it to apreciate. Preferiría explicarlo en español porque me faltan muchos matices en el inglés que no domino. En cualquier caso gracias por vuestra reacción os suscribo and please be more deeper reacting
Blanca Paloma is art, voice, staging, sound, tradition...
Masterpiece!!!. See you in Madrid 2024!!!🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
The problem with Blanca Paloma's entry is that EVERY SINGLE REACTOR is expecting a SloMo 2.0. If Spain sent Terra by Tanxugueiras (which won the televotes) last year, Eaea wouldn't have sounded different now to these reactors.
Eaea is written as a lullaby, then electronic sounds, and clapping and dance moves similar to how a mom sings to her child to lull it to sleep were added and now you have this flamenco-fusion. Its being a lullaby is very obvious if you listen to the acoustic version.
So in the end, the problem with Eaea is NOT with the song or the staging itself, its with the people approaching it expecting to shake their ass and fuck with someone while the music is playing but being met with understated flamenco-fusion elegance. Thus, the disappointment.
I'm honestly more disappointed with the reactors at this point.
I (Gunther) need to respond to this! The two songs are completely different but that doesn’t mean that I am disappointed! I don’t feel the song that much but I do appreciate the artistry of Paloma and the meaning behind the song. But in no way is there disappointment and I truly hope she gets a good result 😍
@@time4teareactions wrong because that seem foreigners only like Spain When She sends entries like Slomo and they can't appreciate us When We send ballads, rock, etc...and seem too that televote only support electro folk entries for eastern countries.
@@alejandromartinledesma2397 Spain only can be appreciate When She sends entries performed by sexy girls or sexy boys singing in Spanglish, It's so sad....
The acoustic version Blanca sings in spanish talk shows sounds like I understand it better, but also Chanel did also this thing with only her and a guitar in talk shows.
True, however you can't force people to like something they don't like or don't connect with. At the end of the day the average Eurovision viewer isn't there to gain a doctorate in the musical culture of the respective countries entering the competition; the are there to be entertained and entertained fairly superficially. It is bubblegum entertainment rather than museum entertainment. Eurovision audiences,though diverse are by and large not very sophisticated. What tends to motivate most of them is having a laugh, mostly at the competition's expense, or having a dance.
Arte y sentimientos y voz impresionante
Last year was latinoamerican music, not Spanish style. This year is absolutely spanish and Mediterranean. It would be interesting that you could one day understand that being American or European is not the same for a spanish speaker. There are so different cultures. We are so rich.
This song is an spanish "Lullaby" with folk falmenco roots and mix with electronic music . The performance has inspiration av Lorca teather
Canción elegida en triple coincidencia. Fantástica .
Fantastic reaction Joël
Well, if it’s not your cup of tea… have a cup of coffee. What’s the big deal??!!
Joel is wright!!! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
AAAHHH Y RECORDAD QUE ESTE AÑO SE PUEDE VOTAR DESDE TODOS LOS PAISES DEL MUNDO, NO SOLO DE LOS PAISES PARTICIPANTES DE EUROPA. ASI QUE YA SABEIS . ¡A VOTAR POR ELLA EEHH! 😀
AHHH AND REMEMBER THAT THIS YEAR YOU CAN VOTE FROM ALL THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD, NOT ONLY FROM THE PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES OF EUROPE. SO YOU KNOW. TO VOTE FOR HER EEHH! 😀

Maybe risky but I love it. There were mainstream options in Benidormfest, Eurovision is always full of them, so boring. If Spain sends mainstream option: 20th position,if we send this: 20th position. Who cares.That's life, That's Eurovision. She's a fantastic singer, superb perrformance, Fine by me!
Que aproveche el cafecito! 😘
I know it is a bit arty and definetly more niche than chanel… but cmon, we’ve had in eurovision people like Hatari, Constracta or Go_A… sometimes its nice to hear something out of your confort zone 😂
Yes, but televote only supports electro folk when that genre comes from eastern countries like Ucrania or Moldavia. For this reason Fullen flopped the Last year
@@carmenmora5348 me vas a comparar fullen con esto… 🤣
@@abel3357 Fullen con Shum o Fullen con Eaea? Porque en canales extranjeros veo a gente comparando nuestro tema con el de Francia, eh? Pero bueno, el debate no va por ahí. Sino que sólo nos valoren cuando llevamos una canción de baile con una chica sexy (ojo que Chanel es una grandísima artista y sus bailarines lo hicieron de una forma excepcional) pero si llevamos una gran balada, o un temazo de rock, entonces ya somos aburridos. Creo que para ellos somos como Grecia, países que vivimos mucho del turismo y que los países del Norte piensan que estamos sólo para darles fiesta, pero no creen que podamos ser tan buenos como ellos en baladas, rock, pop, etc...
Lo entenderéis ni en un millón de años
❤️🇪🇸👌
ua-cam.com/video/1NL_n_RCNbs/v-deo.html explanation of the lyrics and the performance in English.
Spain “can do” … what everyone else can do? Sure!, it proved that last year, we prove it with Rosalía and many others outside of Eurovision, but, this time they’ve been faithful to the saying, “Spain is different”.
It’s not just a song, it’s ART.
Just a little bit of insight into Spanish southern culture and it’s most famous, world renowned poet, FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA, his plays like ‘Bodas de Sangre’, ‘Yerma’ and the films made out of these by the flamenco dancer Antonio Gades, would provide a full understanding of what’s behind all this.
It’s a lullaby written by Paloma when her grandmother died. It’s a mother expressing how she always wants to protect her child even after her death; she wants to be buried in the moon, from where she will always watch over him every night, except one, on a new moon.
EAEA means many things colloquially, but in a lullaby and in Andalucía specially, it’s what’s used to calm a baby’s crying or put him to sleep.
She has an unquestionable fantastic voice; the song is risky, traditional, modern; it has quality (maybe too much for what Eurovision requires or is capable of appreciating), it’s passionate, raw, strong, whilst it exudes tenderness and overflows with feeling.
Whether you like it or not, one thing’s certain, no one will remain indifferent.
Very proud of Spain this year.
Gunther, I love your shirt!!
Funny how one said “It’s too much”… oh Lord, haven’t you seen Eurovision before? The whole show is “Too much” 🤣
There aren't songs for everybody and people that don't catch anything. Thanks for you comment anyway
Thank you very much for your reaction. Here you will find a complete explanation in English of the spanish song, translation of the lyrics, staging and history. ua-cam.com/video/1NL_n_RCNbs/v-deo.html
Thank you for looking after unfortunate felines. One thing I have observed is how people who are empathetic or sensitive to the plight of animals tend to be so toward other people as well.
@@_FsEk Totally agree. He who does not respect an 'animal' does not respect a human being and vice versa. Empathy knows no race or gender.
El de la camiseta de gatitos me dejó sordo
Se escenifica una tragedia universal : no hay un padre presente, las "lágrimas del Nilo" te dicen que es un niño gitano, (=egipciano).o bien que ella es viuda (mitología de isis y Osiris y el origen del rio Nilo )
La madre se deshilacha sobre la cuna, desvelada noche tras noche, cuidando del niño, ella sola, ( de ahi el decorado de flecos rojos o simplemente es un Manton de Manila) y nos recuerda los poemas de García Lorca o Miguel Hernández
El flamenco recoge una tradición musical religiosa judeocristiana y musulmana y el lamento del pueblo egipciano, y ahora se introduce un elemento pagano, qué es el ritual a la Luna, (madre o muerte a la que ella invoca para poder cuidar del niño depues de muerta)y el presentimiento de que ella vs a morir,, todos ellos elementos típicos de Federico García Lorca
La canción de Chanel nos llevó a Hispanoamérica, sin embargo Blanca Paloma nos lleva al flamenco, a la España Andalusi y la música de los pueblos que en ella coexistieron
Finalmente, EA, Ea se usa para arrullar a un bebe pero también para animar (RAE) , y así en los tablaos flamencos se usa para decir :vamos, vamos, por eso el movimiento de la mano de ella, y el diferente ritmo entre la nana dirigida al niño y el resto de la canción (BP lo usa para arrullar pero también para jalear.)
Gane o no, lo importante es que el flamenco es patrimonio cultural de la humanidad según la UNESCO y estará representado dignamente el sábado en Eurovisión.
Gracias por vuestro vídeo
Las dos caras de la moneda.
Exactamente :)
Maybe in Europe dont understand our culture but if Spain is in Europe maybe Europe has to think about if Spain has to be in Europe...or dont invite us to a Europe festival song
Chanel wasn't everyone's cup of tea last year either.
I think both songs have their specific audience and are not to everyone's taste.
No, I couldn't sound like an Albanian song to you, since "Bulerías" are not typical in Albania, they belong to flamenco. Saying that you don't like it and that "eaea" seems too much to you, it's your opinion and it's respectable. I also advise you to watch the performance, paying a little more attention to it and if you comment, stop the video and not talk over it.
Es que el flamenco tiene árabes árabes, por eso es normal que nos asocien con Marruecos, Turquía... Pero es que los países balcánicos, que estuvieron bajo dominio turco su folklore también tiene las mismas influencias, de ahí que sean músicas parecidas a nuestro flamenco.
@@carmenmora5348 exacto. el flamenco tiene lazos con las musicas balcanincas tanto por el pueblo gitano abundante en los balcanes como por la musica musulmana.
No olvidemos que el flamenco es una mezcla de musicas gitanas, judias sefarditas y musulmanas.
(de ahí que espere buenos votos de israel, azerbaijan Y UCRANIA)
You are very basic person, it is art
Don't worry, I for one don't get it either :D - and ofc the deeper meaning of the lyrics are unfortunately irrelevant as most casual watchers will only watch it for the first time in the final
the meaning is not special. it's just a lullaby where death is openly talked in a non dark way. The key is that it has TONS of references of spanish arts and traditions, specially traditions of southern spain.
cualquiera ahora puede opinar sobre arte y eurovision 😂 además de hablar en momentos muy importantes de la canción 😅
don't try to analyze it guys. You get or not. I think it's a piece of art and don't like this type of music. it's a winner!
I can't hear anything else, I just hear "Olé Olé 👏👏 Olé Olé 👏👏... Boring
Not my cup of tea ;-)
Branding 😂
