MARYNA at SPRING FESTIVAL
9 September is a spring festival at St. Ursula’s school in Krugersdorp with a variety of artists performing there. It is sort of a charity event. The reason why we are writing about it, is because one of the artists is MARYNA (Booysen) a 20 year old singer who is currently busy doing two Eurovision covers and hopefully she will be able to perform them for the first time at this spring festival. The two songs are the 2016 entry from Macedonia – DONA of Kaliopi and the 2017 entry from Ukraine – TIME of O.Torvald. Both will be in Afrikaans. Maryna has already recorded another Kaliopi song, her 2012 song but Maryna sings this in English as Black and white. Hopefully lots of people will attend this festival.
PROMO SINGLE – UKRAINE
Usually the host country put extra effort in to give the press a nice promo single of their entry (Belgrade 2008, Finland 2007, Norway 2010, Sweden 2013, etc) but according to our knowledge Ukraine became the first host country not to hand out a promo item for their entry TIME. So of course ESC Covers got a promo single designed for the library and it is so beautiful – the cover it like 100 better than the song.
