There are less than three weeks left until one of the most anticipated musical events of the year begins: Eurovision. The next edition of the Song Festival will take place from May 7 to 11 in the city of Malmö, Sweden. A global event in which we can enjoy 37 musical proposals that will fight to obtain the desired crystal microphone.
Spain will set foot on the Malmö Arena stage for the first time on Thursday, May 9, in the second final. That night we will be able to see live the musical performance of the duo formed by María Bas and Mark Dasousa, Nebulossa, performing their song Zorra. However, the Spanish representatives will play all on Saturday, May 11 in the grand final.
Since the musical group was chosen in the last edition of the Benidorm Fest, numerous famous faces have positioned themselves for and against the proposal. The last one to do so was Paloma San Basilio. The singer recently opened up before the EuropaPress microphones about the use of the word ‘slut’.
”The word ‘bitch’ is a very pejorative word, tremendously harsh and critical. And it seems to me that neither… the people who have had to cruelly suffer the nickname and the adjective first hand, I don’t think they will be very excited that there is a word that suddenly becomes something trivial,” He began by saying.
In this way, the 73-year-old Madrid artist was against the Spanish Eurovision proposal. ”I believe that we must have a little more respect for everything that many people have suffered, and that we must reclaim and try to eliminate it from our society and our coexistence,” she asserted.
Furthermore, Paloma San Basilio confessed that she did not know how to categorize the song because she had not been able to see the musical performance. ”It seems to me that a sense of humor has its place, but for me music is above everything else,” she declared. Of course, the singer did not hesitate to praise the work of the Eurovision Song Contest. ”It is a point of consensus, of meeting, that the countries that are, we would say, fighting among themselves, manage to come together through music. Music unites and Eurovision is a form of union,’ she said.
