EAEA is a flamenco lullaby. EAEA is an onomatopoeia that Spanish mothers do 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.
@@johannaineurovision1964 It's also important to note that Federico García Lorca, aside from being one of the most brilliant Spanish poets, he is a symbol since he was killed by the fascist during the Spanish Civil War because he was gay and a socialist.

This is the best song so far. This song represents 🇪🇸 in her beautiful culture. And what a voice!! Great song! Good luck España! Greatings from Belgium.
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 del origen del rio Nilo ) La madre se deshilacha sobre la cuna, desvelada noche tras noche, cuidando del niño, ella sola, y nos recuerda los poemas de Miguel Hernández (nanas de la cebolla) a Quintero León y Quiroga 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) pues presiente que va a morir pronto, 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 ( Al - andalus ocupaba de Cádiz a Zaragoza) 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.) Da igual si gana o pierde el festival, lo importante es que el FLAMENCO es patrimonio cultural de la humanidad según la UNESCO y mañana estará dignamente representado en Eurovisión por LA MAGNÍFICA❤️❤️❤️ BLANCA PALOMA 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
The song itself (singing, clapping) is a bulería, kind of a specific 'subgenere' of flamenco with a modern twist of an electronic beat The topic and the lyrics come from the POV of a woman singing a lullaby, trying to put her crying baby to sleep ('Eaea' is a cooing sound in Spain) The performance and staging are the ones of a ritual, summoning her ancestors. Specially her late grandma, wich this song is inspired by and dedicated to, because she taught and used to sing flamenco and lullabies to her. The repetitive pattern of the beat, backing vocals and rythmic clapping are intended to be entrancing and hypnotizing for connecting with the energy of the experience. Her hand movements work as a praise and a calling to the above. The red threads are a reference to the fringes of a traditional 'mantón' (shawl) simbolizing protection, motherhood, in fact she said it could be seen sort of womb-shaped. Actually she worked as a costume and stage set designer, as she did here too. The white circle represents the moon, where, as the lyrics say, she wants to be buried in when she dies, so she will be able to watch over her child everynight but one ('newmoon') First she kneels looking up, later she kneels again looking downwards, always with a reaching hand. Then she shoots a flaming arrow and lights it on fire (red pulsing light, heartbeat, blood, death) Finally the priestess gets on the shrine to end the ritual in ecstasy.
Thank for your reaction! I feel the same: it is by far my favourite so far and other countries really will have to work hard to top this. I'm Dutch but I've lived in Spain, so Spain always has a special place in my heart and I've been really frustrated with how badly they have been doing in Eurovision in the last decades (albeit deservedly so, since their entries have mostly been mediocre). The turnaround they made last year was a great breather and this year it's even better! I'm so happy that Spain is really tapping into its rich traditional musical culture and taking this fantastic risk, which I feel is gonna pay off because Blanca Paloma is doing such an amazing job. She designed this whole staging herself and her performance is amazing! It's so magical and mesmerising, I'm just gripped every time I see it. Whatever the result, Spain should be so proud!
Its the first time I'm hearing that she designed it herself!! Thank you for sharing that, it makes me respect her even more as a creator! I'm rooting for her to do as well as possible!
@@johannaineurovision1964 She is professional stage designer. So she's a complete artist: singer-songwriter, set designer, she put it all together herself.
It's my vibe my favorite song this year. I love it so much that I ended up in a reaction video of this song. I mean this alone speaks volumes of how good this song is! Thank you for sharing similar emotional reactions as I did. Love from Istanbul!
Totally agree with you, the outstanding beginning is something so alike of Eastern Europe, a lot of countries would feel like their own. The song is a masterpiece, and she is marvelous.
Muchas gracias por tu reacción, nos alegra saber que te ha gustado, Blanca Paloma seguro que nos sorprende aún más en Eurovisión , saludos desde España!!
loved your reaction! Very sincere and real. I'm from Spain, and I'm very excited for this year's entry, and I hope people abroad get the same feeling ❤ Blanca Paloma recently explained that her grandma, who passed away, used to sing this song in order to mock death, so as to say, she was not afraid of dying because she knew her loved ones would remember her. It's a very emotional song with a strong meaning. thanks for reacting :) greetings from Spain 🇪🇸
That zenith angle where you can see the white circle symbolizing the moon that is transformed into an eye, the eye that watches the child from the moon. This moment is perfectly accompanied by the lyrics of the song, it is what he is singing. It is magical, elegant, artistic, modern and impressive.
The first pair of hands symbolizes the child in the womb and from there he passes to the second pair of hands forming the straight surface of the cradle on which the child is lying afterwards. Likewise, a person on the surface of the moon finally ends up transformed into an eye that from there contemplates her son. If Europe is not able to recognize such visual poetry beside the music it does not deserve so much art.
Girl am not surprised with your reaction. This is exactly what I felt when I saw her at the Benidorm Fest Semifinal 2. This song is a masterpiece and gives you chills. I can’t even imagine right now what is gonna happen at Eurovision but I know Blanca will let us speechless and I hope all of the Europe can see that too.
When a song give you chills, even though you do not understand the lyrics should be what for real music is, you do not need to understand you only need to feel it
Thanks for your reaction. Blanca Paloma has everything to win Eurovision this year! Such a beautiful performance and her vocals are amazing. We are so excited about it. 🕊️🏹👏👏👏Greetings from🇪🇸
Blanca Paloma was ROBBED it's incredible how many reactions I'm seeing of people being just amazed at this song and then the dissonance with the results of the contest...
As a Mexican I’m a tiny bit more used to this type of music. Not in Mexico but from some Spanish artists which occasionally trended here. It has become much more common in recent year tho with artists like Rosalia. But yeah this is such a cool modern reinterpretation of it. It really makes me wanna go dance on a field and try to summon your ancestors. That’s kinda the simbolism I get in the opening with all the hands reaching for her through the curtains, like the ghosts of the past reaching out during a very primal ritual. Plus the lyric about her wanting to be buried in the moon so she’s able to look down upon her descendants, just beautiful.
Lo entendiste perfectamente. El flamenco es como una música ancestral que transporta a lo más remoto del ser humano y su unión con la vida, sensaciones y emociones. 👏👏👏👍
@johanna in eurovision As a spaniard, (from the East of the country, not the South), I didn't expect such a reaction of a swedish girl about our entry this year 🙏 Without knowing anything about the lyrics and the meaning of Blanca's whole performance, you observed and loved the details you could see: her clothes, the dancers, her voice, her expression, the elements on stage...And that happens because you are a very sensitive and observer person! Thanks very much for your lovely reaction to Blanca Paloma's song! And don't worry if you feel like crying. The strength of Blanca and her song just deserves it! Greetings from Spain! 🍀
Den här sången är en spansk vaggvisa.Hon inspirerade i hennes mormor som sjöng till henne och som introducerade i musiken. Låten har både rötter i folkmusik från södra Spanien (arabisk, gipsy och Flamenco)och elementer av elektronisk musik.Själva performance har som influencer av poet Lorca .
Blanca Paloma has a powerful voice and is faithful to traditional flamenco combined with some electronic beats. She sings a lullaby learnt from her grandma. Some singers have achieved success combining flamenco with rock or reggaeton , like Rosalía or Enrique Morente. If you like to listen to new flamenco, Omega is one of the best albums. It links rock, some of the most famous flamenco's artists (Enrique Morente, Vicente Amigo...), Federico García Lorca's poems and Leonard Cohen's songs: an extraordinary album. Thank you for your exciting comments.
After all these years going unnoticed in the contest, seeing your reaction has been very nice for me and for any Spaniard :) Thank you very much, this type of videos give us back the illusion for Eurovision hehe
The performance represents the symbology of the Spanish poet Frederico Garcia Lorca who died by firing squad. The red shirt represents where he was mortaly wounded and the white of her pants the last of Lorca works "Blood wedding". A moon, a child and a lullaby are part of the poet's symbology.
Tack för din reaktion . Det var så vackert och känslosamt. It is part of the south spanish folk culture expressed in a very beautiful scenery with a lot of soul. Swedes , you are not cold at all :-)
Hi from Spain, gracias por tu opinión, Blanca ya participó el año pasado en Benidorm Fest con "Secreto de Agua", un tema acerca de un caso de homicidio ocurrido hace unos años, os invito a que lo escuchéis, siendo poesia, así es Blanca, una poeta del lírico... REGARDS
As spanish, I cant avoid getting emotional everytime I listen to this performance. and when you get to know the actual meaning of the lyrics... its even better :)
Great reaction. The music is a modern version of flamenco, a Spanish folk style. Whereas for the lyrics it is a lullaby. A protection song for a sleeping baby child usually sang by the mother.
What a sweet reaction, thank you ❤️ not everybody understands and likes this song but it seems that you completely feel it 🥰 even more than many spanish people 1:55 on this part she sings something like: My dear child, When I die May I be buried at the moon So I can watch over you every night Except one (because of new moon) The lyrics are a lullaby and the red strings represent a traditional spanish cloth that her grandmother used to wear, representing like a hug and protection to her while she sings
I for sure felt it! I wasn't joking just after the song finished that I was about to cry 😹 And i don't even know why! It just made me *feel* period! Absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing more information about the lyrics! ☺️
It's funny, a lot of people don't seem to recognise it as typically Spanish at first, often mentioning Balkan sounds and the like (and there may be some musical reminiscence there)... but this is actually veeery Spanish. It's a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional copla/flamenco music, typical of the south of Spain. I think it's quite exceptional, and so different from the legions of formulaic English-language pop songs at Eurovision. I hope she does really well.
Yeah, I mean, I can straight out say that most of the Spanish music that I get exposed to is either from esc or the radio, and that tends to have a similar sound. This is very new to me! I'm so happy that she is bringing this into the esc world this year! ☺️
@@marinaww7174 flamenco doesn't have gypsy origin although they developed a lot, flamenco had Arabic, Indian, Jewish and lot of other mixed culture influences.
@@TheStOne1 Obviusly is a mix of jewish,arabic music,but the Indian part in It was bring by Roma Kales to Spain,and flamenco dances have a lot to do with Indian dances because of them.I think that te sound reminds of Balkan music to foreing people because of the Roma influences in both countries.
@@marinaww7174 you must to take some information... because you're wrong Gypsies don't come from Rome and flamenco tradition and Her music preceds from Gypsy ancestors from India, Pakistan,Afganistan, all north of Hi malaya...jewish and arab mixes through the time...
I think Blanca Paloma will clearly show what the song means during her Eurovision performance. As she says, let Europe prepare itself for a pinch in the heart 🕊🤍
I love your respect and your objective opinion. You are really kind!! Actually the lyrics is so curious for Spain culture, you can search the lyrics translated because there's a lot of beautiful things. Thanks for your sincerity and kindness!
In 1983 we sent another Flamenco song called “¿Quién maneja mi barca?” and we got 0 points and the last position but this year is going to be completely different
"Ea, Ea", this song represents a "nana", that is to say, a lullaby, it means something you say while lulling your baby to sleep. With a very fine flamenco style, and a very "lorquian" (García Lorca poetry) performance. The wonderful voice and presence of its interpreter Blanca Paloma, especially in the final part, will give it a chance to break into the Top 10...? Honestly, I liked her performance and staging in the final of the Benidorm Fest much more than in the presentation video clip in the ESC.
Hi Johanna, my name is Alejandro and I'm Spanish, I really liked your authentic reaction to Blanca Paloma's performance. Indeed, as they say in the comments, Eaea is a flamenco lullaby that pays homage to her grandmother and Federico Garcia Lorca . The truth is, I hardly understand English but your reactions even without understanding you said a lot. :) Without a doubt, although there are people who do not see a future in this song for Eurovision or believe that we are going to be last, I think that it is one of the best representations that Spain could have, look at the performances of the Benidorn Fest 2022 by Blanca Paloma (which does not have nothing to do with this one), the one by Rigoberta Bandini and the one by Tanxugueiras and make your reaction if you want, for me one of those three should have represented Spain but it couldn't be, instead the song Slomo by Channel was great in terms of to staging and choreography and we finished third making us dream of victory at times. Thank you for trying to give the visibility that Blanca Paloma deserves in your country. Hopefully the truth wins because I think he deserves it. A big hug my friend and thank you very much😉
As Spanish myself I am really surprised by the positive reactions. I think this song has its ups and downs, and yeah, it’s part of the southern folklore of the country. I just hope for the performance to have a wow factor in the contest, so that people can’t move from the sofa. Finger crossed 🤞🏻

Whether Spain ends 1st or 5th or 10th... Doesn't matter. It's a masterpiece and Spain can be proud of it. The song honours their culture.
i mean its not the culture of the whole spain but it does represent andalucia for example. i really like it tho

Love the song!! 12 points from this Dutch guy (living in Spain)!!
Flamenco is art. Art will hopefully win this year. This song is what Spain is about, passion, culture, power, love and force.
This has such an Eastern European folklore sound (which is the biggest compliment you can give to an Eurovision song imo)

When I die
May I be buried at the moon
So I can watch over you every night
Except one (because of new moon)
The lyrics are a lullaby and the red strings represent a traditional spanish cloth that her grandmother used to wear, representing like a hug and protection to her while she sings
I for sure felt it! I wasn't joking just after the song finished that I was about to cry 😹 And i don't even know why! It just made me *feel* period! Absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing more information about the lyrics! ☺️
Bravo Blanca Paloma❤
Spain is the winner!!!!
Thank u 🙌🏻🕊️🤍
It's funny, a lot of people don't seem to recognise it as typically Spanish at first, often mentioning Balkan sounds and the like (and there may be some musical reminiscence there)... but this is actually veeery Spanish. It's a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional copla/flamenco music, typical of the south of Spain. I think it's quite exceptional, and so different from the legions of formulaic English-language pop songs at Eurovision. I hope she does really well.
I think it is because both Spain and the Balkan traditional music have a lot of influence from Roma (gypsy) Music so there is a coomon root there😊
Yeah, I mean, I can straight out say that most of the Spanish music that I get exposed to is either from esc or the radio, and that tends to have a similar sound. This is very new to me! I'm so happy that she is bringing this into the esc world this year! ☺️
@@marinaww7174 flamenco doesn't have gypsy origin although they developed a lot, flamenco had Arabic, Indian, Jewish and lot of other mixed culture influences.
@@TheStOne1 Obviusly is a mix of jewish,arabic music,but the Indian part in It was bring by Roma Kales to Spain,and flamenco dances have a lot to do with Indian dances because of them.I think that te sound reminds of Balkan music to foreing people because of the Roma influences in both countries.
@@marinaww7174 you must to take some information... because you're wrong Gypsies don't come from Rome and flamenco tradition and Her music preceds from Gypsy ancestors from India, Pakistan,Afganistan, all north of Hi malaya...jewish and arab mixes through the time...
Thanks litlle beauty 😘
Gracias 😘
I think Blanca Paloma will clearly show what the song means during her Eurovision performance. As she says, let Europe prepare itself for a pinch in the heart 🕊🤍
I hope you to vote for Spain! jajaja. Thanks for your reaction :D
Its likely that I will, now that we can vote from outside of Europe! 🤩
Spain winner,es una nana,por las víctimas de la guerra, y terremotos, su voz, es impresionante,,y la puesta en escena, sobrecoge
Thanks💕
I love your respect and your objective opinion. You are really kind!! Actually the lyrics is so curious for Spain culture, you can search the lyrics translated because there's a lot of beautiful things. Thanks for your sincerity and kindness!
Thank you from Spain, this is a song that really represent us🥰🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
Not really. It represents those who understand and love _flamenco._ For the rest of us it is as alien as a _fado,_ a _sirtaki,_ a blues or a _tango._
@@robert111k im agree with you roberto.
In 1983 we sent another Flamenco song called “¿Quién maneja mi barca?” and we got 0 points and the last position but this year is going to be completely different
Definitely!!
"Ea, Ea", this song represents a "nana", that is to say, a lullaby, it means something you say while lulling your baby to sleep. With a very fine flamenco style, and a very "lorquian" (García Lorca poetry) performance. The wonderful voice and presence of its interpreter Blanca Paloma, especially in the final part, will give it a chance to break into the Top 10...? Honestly, I liked her performance and staging in the final of the Benidorm Fest much more than in the presentation video clip in the ESC.
i Love You Reaccion!😂 Thanks ❤️🇪🇸😃
MUCHAS GRACIAS JOHANNA
De nada 😊
Hi Johanna, my name is Alejandro and I'm Spanish, I really liked your authentic reaction to Blanca Paloma's performance. Indeed, as they say in the comments, Eaea is a flamenco lullaby that pays homage to her grandmother and Federico Garcia Lorca . The truth is, I hardly understand English but your reactions even without understanding you said a lot. :)
Without a doubt, although there are people who do not see a future in this song for Eurovision or believe that we are going to be last, I think that it is one of the best representations that Spain could have, look at the performances of the Benidorn Fest 2022 by Blanca Paloma (which does not have nothing to do with this one), the one by Rigoberta Bandini and the one by Tanxugueiras and make your reaction if you want, for me one of those three should have represented Spain but it couldn't be, instead the song Slomo by Channel was great in terms of to staging and choreography and we finished third making us dream of victory at times.
Thank you for trying to give the visibility that Blanca Paloma deserves in your country. Hopefully the truth wins because I think he deserves it. A big hug my friend and thank you very much😉
As Spanish myself I am really surprised by the positive reactions. I think this song has its ups and downs, and yeah, it’s part of the southern folklore of the country. I just hope for the performance to have a wow factor in the contest, so that people can’t move from the sofa. Finger crossed 🤞🏻
Exactly my reaction hahah absolutely my favorite ❤
