  • Summary

  • Hello dear listeners! We're happy to be back with a new episode of Eurovision from A to Z. Holidays are coming to their end, and an new year is about to begin, so Eurovision New Year! We conclude our second season with a visit to Teatro Real in Madrid. This is the only festival held in Javier's country, Spain, so it is a festival full of siginificances, not only in the personal matter. The dictatorship took Eurovision as an opportunity to show a modern and attractive country as well as to appeat as a more "open" country. We have some of the most iconic singers of Eurovision like Iva Zanicchi from Italy, Tommy Körberg from Sweden, the Norwegian Kirsti Saprsboe, the British Lulu, the Spanish Salomé or the Monegasque boy Jean-Jacques singing to her mom. At the same time, this festival is famous for its controvesrsial ending, with the only tie in the ESC history. Four winners were declared ex aequo: Spain, United Kingdom, Netherlans and France. Do you want to know who is our winner? Will we break the tie? Do you agree with us? Listen this episode full of music and history. You can also listen our 1969 playlist and enjoy most of the songs of this edition.
