“Step 3 - show the viewers your country's ethnic background by using an old traditional folklore instrument that no-one has ever heard of before. No, in this case, it’s proven much more efficient to not use a young model. Go for an old man! No, make it FIVE old men! A beard helps! So do glasses! This instrument is called a Maltese taz-zalzett. A long, round member of the lute family, inherited from the Knights. Just make something up, no one will know!” 🇲🇹
Malta 🇲🇹 this is it! Send this ethno bop to Eurovision, and you will finally qualify! I've been waiting for a maltese ethno song for a long time! Good luck, boys from Germany 🇩🇪 🇲🇹
Modernity and tradition is always a winner combination. From Spain to all Maltese folks out there, vote for this. Your language is beautiful and worthy of being appreciated in the ESC stage.
@@stefanenglishman954 So true! Ramires did amazingly for them (I predicted he would when few people thought they stood a chance) and part of that was bringing authenticity! 💜💜
I can already see other Mediterranean countries such as Spain and especially Italy EATING THIS UP. 100% will qualify if it goes to Eurovision, televote wise this will do extremely well
@EmreSmith Literally the only similarities both "Jako" and this one have is that they have a lot of ethnic influences. Armenian ≠ Maltese + we haven't heard such a song from Malta since their debut in 1971.
This sounds like something I'd hear performed at my grandparents local pub in Cornwall in the UK, and I love it! We've never had a sea shanty before at eurovision and this would not just qualify but would get a monster televote in the final...
If Armenia came top ten with their song last year and Moldova came top two with the televote in 2022 with an extremely this can work miracles on the televote as well! In fact, this could do better because it simply IS better!
We've seen many countries showcase their ethnic background through music at the Eurovision Song Contest, but not Malta. Sure "Kant" is the most talked-about MESC '25 entry, but "Lalaratatakeke lalaratakabum" is a true celebration of Maltese culture that is not generic pop! Needs to win.
Folk, ethnic, modern, native language. Hope to see this banger on the stage of Basel. High chance to qualify after years of absence in the final. Malta be wise. 🇮🇹❤️🇲🇹
This lowkey sounds like a shanty and believe me- Polish ppl will eat this up. Good luck guys hope to finally see maltese language again on eurovision scene!!!
Amazing song! kinda reminds me of Greece 2013 "Alcohol is Free". It would be the first time since 1972 that Malta would send a song in Maltese. Don't miss this opportunity Malta! This song is what Eurovision is about for me 🇲🇹
This is banger - LALARATATAKEKE LALARATAKABUM🔥🔥 Malta be wise and send this to Basel!!! This tune will surely classify in top 5 at this year's Eurovision in Basel
I can see the hype for this. This would definitely get Malta into the Grand Final. Especially since I don't think it will have many similar songs to compete with if selected. Very interesting fusion. I kinda dig it.
@EmreSmith for your information - Ladaniva didnt invent folk/ethno music, this is whole genre showing other cultures. Telling they copied it from somebody shows how poor your knowledge is.
Fun fact: Linnea Deb, one of the composers listed contributed to a lot of previous Eurovision entries, some notable examples are Sweden last year's entry and Heroes, the winning song from 2015
It was in 1972 with regular Eurovision, and in Junior Eurovision 2024, we saw Ramires bring beautiful Maltese to the stage for the first time. With so many songs in Maltese, fully or partially, in this year's MESC, this is called the "Ramires effect". It seems a song in Maltese wants to win, and "Qalb ta' qalb" or "Lalaratatakeke lalaratakabum" should be a viable option!
*It's time to finally send something unique and original after many years. If Albania could do this by chosing "Zjerm", so could you, Maltiese people.* *Malta, if you want to have a chance to get to the finals of ESC 2025, you MUST choose this masterpiece. So please, don't screw this up.* 🇺🇦💗🇲🇹 *#KanteraForEurovision*
il-punt bhalissa mhux biex nirbhu imma iktar kanzunetta li tghaqqadna. Din mhix id-diska biex tirbah imma l-wahda li kieku niehdu iktar gost fil-kompetizzjoni jkun x'ikun ir-rizultat
This is the first song from the line-up I've heard and no lie, I clicked here first because of the title. 😂 Unusual for Malta, but definitely not a bad start, can't wait to hear the other entries
I can't stress enough how badly I want Maltese back in Eurovision. It's been 53 years
U need to wait little more I think 🤔
I WANT DESPERATELY TO SEE THIS SONG SMASHING EUROVISION CAUSE ITS SIMPLY AMAZING AND CULTURAL

Ill copy and remember this one, lovely 😍😂
It will work! it will!
it's funny because taz-zalzett are maltese sausages

Love this! Maltese language deserves more recognition and awareness. Good luck Malta from Ireland 🇮🇪🇲🇹
Modernity and tradition is always a winner combination. From Spain to all Maltese folks out there, vote for this. Your language is beautiful and worthy of being appreciated in the ESC stage.
This is a lot of fun and Malta sending Maltese language and a local sound to ESC would be refreshing!
Just like they did with Ramires at Junior Eurovision. 😊
@@stefanenglishman954 So true! Ramires did amazingly for them (I predicted he would when few people thought they stood a chance) and part of that was bringing authenticity! 💜💜
Please please please Malta! 🙏 I hope you have the good sense to send this 3 minutes of pure joy to Eurovision.
What a maltese boop. Please Malta send this if You want to be back to the grand final! Beautiful malti language. ❤
WERE TRAVELING THE SEVEN SEAS WITH THIS ONE 🔥🗣️
I can already see other Mediterranean countries such as Spain and especially Italy EATING THIS UP. 100% will qualify if it goes to Eurovision, televote wise this will do extremely well
As a huuuuuge fan of Trenulețul and Jako, I NEED THIS in Eurovision!!!!!
This song should go to Eurovision!
We already had LADANIVA... nothing new !
@EmreSmith Literally the only similarities both "Jako" and this one have is that they have a lot of ethnic influences.
Armenian ≠ Maltese + we haven't heard such a song from Malta since their debut in 1971.
@EmreSmith Even if they were similar, then all the other mesc songs have been done before in one way or another
@EmreSmithLadaniva didn't invented this kind of genre hope this helps!
@EmreSmith and we already had zdob si dub
This sounds like something I'd hear performed at my grandparents local pub in Cornwall in the UK, and I love it! We've never had a sea shanty before at eurovision and this would not just qualify but would get a monster televote in the final...
From Portugal i want this on Eurovision!!!❤🇵🇹
This is top5 televoting for sure. Send this. :) Love from Croatia.
This is the best option for Malta if they want to qualify for the grand final
This is clearly the one Malta!!!
If Armenia came top ten with their song last year and Moldova came top two with the televote in 2022 with an extremely this can work miracles on the televote as well! In fact, this could do better because it simply IS better!
yes
it can at least end up like Estonia in 2024
@@eurodara estonia 2024 was my fave of last year
They would do well if it was catchy or powerful. This is neither and will not do well
lmao, this is hella catchy and powerful
For once Malta!!!!! please send this!!! Maltese song, funky and catchy...what eurovision should be!!!!
Kantera a eurovision!!! From Spain! Come on boys! Love it so much 😍😍
My favourite song of MESC
First time since Destiny that Malta could make a significant impact on the scoreboard I think. Hope this goes to Eurovision🇲🇹!
I agree 100% with you!
The only song that could well for Malta at Eurovision.
Welcome back to the Grand Final Malta
🤞🤞 they actually choose it!
Welcome back to the 1970
Thank you ❤
If Malta finally wants to get a good televote score, this needs to be their choice!
I wasn't expecting this, in a good way, tradition + electronic music? Yes please!
Gives me happy drunk pirates dancing on tables vibes. We like it!
They should win and represent Malta at Eurovision. No other option is being considered for me at this point. wow wow wow

Kemm nkun kburija li kieku kelli nisma lsien pajjizi fuq il- palk tal- Eurovision! Diska li veru haqqa tirbah din ❤
Will you vote for it?
@@mitchellconnolly2560 mija fil mija ma nistax niqaf nismaha kont qtajt qalbi mil eurovision imma flahhar wahda bil bajd =)
This kant-era band is way better than the other 'kant'. Please choose your kant wisely Malta!
Im from croatia, i can only say Lalaratatakeke LALARATAKABUM. Its super contageous thats all that my heads been singing these past 2 days
Me too 😊
I ADORE HOW THIS IS A MALTESE VERSION OF JAKO but also has a western touch! MALTA, this is the one!
Once again I'm back here to listen to this song ❤😊
please Malta choose this!!! we had Armenia and Estonia last year showing their cultures, we so need a song in Maltese and this is so good!!!
Folk, ethnic, modern, native language. Hope to see this banger on the stage of Basel. High chance to qualify after years of absence in the final. Malta be wise. 🇮🇹❤️🇲🇹
This lowkey sounds like a shanty and believe me- Polish ppl will eat this up.
Good luck guys hope to finally see maltese language again on eurovision scene!!!
Yeaaaah its giving shanty vibe sooo much
This is how Malta wins Eurovision
I have only one word - proset. I hope Malta sends this.
Pls Eurovision needs that 🙌 I hope they win. 🇵🇪♥️🇲🇹
Unfortunately, I think the girl bop "Kant" will win.
Hope Maltese people make the right decision this time round and vote for this one to win!
All it needs is the female singer to wear an Ghonella on stage even if she’s a “backing vocalist” 🥰🇲🇹👏
Great idea ! Especially coming from such a talented singer. Your entry will forever be one of my favorites!
Yes! They need to have the female vocalist on stage with them. 😍🙌
This could become the dark horse of the competition 🤔. I praise the fact that is in Maltese and sounds traditional.
what a breath of fresh air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Eurovision! Authentic, anthemic and catchy. C'MON KANTERA!
Please Malta! Send this this banger to Eurovision! It will qualify for sure 🔥
Greetings from Poland ❤️
I have to vote in the qualifiers for the first time in my life
Amazing song! kinda reminds me of Greece 2013 "Alcohol is Free". It would be the first time since 1972 that Malta would send a song in Maltese. Don't miss this opportunity Malta! This song is what Eurovision is about for me 🇲🇹
If "Alchocol Is Free" and "Queen of Kings" had a baby. 😅
@@stefanenglishman954 and Jako.
And Trenuleţul.
@@amarbajraktarevic315 fr I heard jako and trenelețul and i was like yessss it’s awesome
I’m also getting more Trenulețul vibes than the others. Which is fine, because Trenulețul placed in the top-ten.
This song is actually amazing! Good luck from Finland 🇫🇮❤️🇲🇹
This is banger - LALARATATAKEKE LALARATAKABUM🔥🔥
Malta be wise and send this to Basel!!! This tune will surely classify in top 5 at this year's Eurovision in Basel
My 2nd fav after Heaven sent!
Love the rhythm and the ethnic vibes. Best of lucks guys from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🙌🏻 🇦🇷

Definitely my favourite!!

Wow, Malta! This can finish in top 5 at Eurovision. GOOD LUCK!!!

Send this to Eurovision rn!!!!! This is the perfect ethnobop we needed
WHAAAAAATTTTT THIS HAS TO WIN
This is art... love this song 12 points from Poland
This gives off MASSIVE "Jako" vibes! it's fun, energetic and just a joy to listen (also in full Maltese!!). Malta will qualify with this!
I knew it reminded me of something! Knowing that, this could definitely finish within the Top 10
It's not even close to the vibes of "Jako". It sounds more like "Queen of Kings" by Alessandra. 😊
@@stefanenglishman954well both are top 10 so i think thats a good indication😆
Malta please send this to Eurovision! Your language is beautiful!!! ❤❤❤
Please, this! 12 points from Italy ❤🇮🇹
I can see the hype for this. This would definitely get Malta into the Grand Final. Especially since I don't think it will have many similar songs to compete with if selected. Very interesting fusion. I kinda dig it.
This is my winner, love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Copied from Ladaniva 😀

Armenia 2024 mixed with Moldova 2022 but Maltese and pirate-y! If Malta sends this, welcome to the grand final, we miss you!
MALTA! This should def go to Eurovision

Masterpiece ! Good Luck Kantera !
Get ready … you’re going to Eurovision. No slight doubt about it. And congratulations in advance for taking the Maltese language to the Eurovision 🤍 !
This might not be the best song in the nf, but this is the country's best shot for the final. We found our winner.
Fun fact: Linnea Deb, one of the composers listed contributed to a lot of previous Eurovision entries, some notable examples are Sweden last year's entry and Heroes, the winning song from 2015
If we want Malta to win.....this is our chance!!
Realistically qatt mhu se nirbhu
LOVE THIS SONG SOOOO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤love from France 🇫🇷
A traditional and fun song sang in Maltese? This is your ticket to the final. Seriously when was the last time we heard Maltese at Eurovision?

Very well done she has a very potential voice ❤❤❤❤
Dare I say ATLEAST a Top 10 finish for Malta if this got sent
