In just a few months, Spain will once again be excited about the possibility that Spain will once again conquer the microphone of the Eurovision Song Contest that Chanel was about to bring last year with Slow motion. For this, RTVE wants to put all its resources at the disposal of Blanca Paloma and for this reason it has increased the budget for participation in the 2023 event in Liverpool.
Público revealed the maximum amount that RTVE could pass on the Spanish representation with the song Eaea. Contrary to what happened last year, the public company financed the video clip of the Spanish representative, unlike what happened with the Cuban-Spanish artist.
TVE will have a maximum of 732,940 euros as revealed by the Public who had access to information thanks to the law on transparency. Still according to this source, the games would be at 20,000 and 5,511 euros. respectively for the sets / staging and the technical means. “The cost of the sets is higher: last year with Chanel there was only choreography and this year a lot of elements have to be built” they specify to the public entity that the rental budget of the technical means has also increased.
As for Chanel’s third place, Blanca Paloma will have an increase of almost 12% of the money but a good part of this increase will be “eaten” by the participation in the festival itself, the cost of which has increased by 45,000 euros compared to 2022. Without However, this is what is budgeted and does not mean that the amount cannot be lower, i.e. not all the budget is spent, or higher , in case the costs become more expensive.
Blanca Paloma left the audience speechless with a spectacular entry to the rhythm of EAEA: a flamenco lullaby inspired by her grandmother. The artist wanted to capture in the video the concept that made her the winner of the last edition of Benidorm Fest. It is led by Ángel Pastrana and has four key locations to capture the folklore and strength of Eaea. She is looking for something really sensitive and powerful in simplicity, and the truth is that she has more than achieved her goal thanks also to the colors chosen (only white, black and reddish tones) and some shots in which, why don’t say it, she looks like the winner of the festival.
Blanca Paloma will now focus on promoting her candidacy for Eurovision 2023. Getting known in the rest of Europe is essential for the celebration of the musical competition and the swing of the betting houses. At the moment, Spain remain eighth, while Sweden continue to lead due to Loreen’s possible participation with the Tattoo theme. We’ll have to wait and see what happens and the route of the Spanish representative before the week of the festival. Right now, you have two dates on your agenda: the PrePartyES in Madrid on April 7 and the Eurovision concert on April 15 in Amsterdam. Will it be enough to convince the other countries and win over the favourites?
