Spanish song Eurovision song contest “pure poetry“
On Saturday evening, the Spanish singer performed his two songs Memoria and Voy a quedarme. And in the RTVE´s Destino Eurovisión program, the audience opted en masse for the latter song by Blas Cantó. Meanwhile, you can watch the official video of Spain’s entry here. Already in October 2019, the RTVE audience chose Blas Cantó as the one who would represent Spain in 2020. At that time, the song chosen was Universo.
Creative director, Marvin Dietmann, says this song is “pure poetry” and that they have opted for a minimalist stage. “All this song needs is Blas Cantó as the centrepiece that keeps the song getting bigger and bigger for the audience. We only put the singer in the spotlight. No special effects are needed for this song. ”

It was intended the Eurovision song contest would take place in Rotterdam last year. Sadly the corona pandemic threw a spanner in the works. However, the Netherlands did then broadcast an alternative programme. But this year, the Eurovision committee is determined to continue the festival on 18, 20 and 22 May. And the intention is that all artists will perform in Rotterdam Ahoy. It is not yet certain whether the public will be able to attend.
