SWEDEN has won the 2023 Eurovision song contest and will host in 2024. That co-inside with the 50th anniversary of them winning in 1974 with ABBA.
For the next 50 days ESC Covers will post one song a day which is a Swedish song, either an actual entry, a selection song, or a song by a Eurovision artist covered in South Arica, either in Afrikaans or English.
Song 5 is VIVA LA MUSICA. The song was composed by Swedish composer Thomas G:son. The Swedish duo MAN MEADOW recorded it. It was sent to the Polish Eurovision selection but unfortunately did not win there to go to Eurovision – such a pity.
ESC Covers pitched it to SHAUN TAIT and he recorded it in Afrikaans, keeping the title the same.
Yeah, what a nice cover! Yes, it finished 3rd in the Polish National Selection but became so popular among the Polish Eurofans. The winner was Isis Gee and finally Poland made it to the Grand Final after three years of failing to do so. Probably, Man Meadow would have qualified as well for the Final and we’ll never know what would have happened in the Grand Final (Isis Gee came 24th).✌ Did you like Isis Gee’s song?🧐
