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 15 is SAMBA SAMRERO by ANNA BOOK.  Thomas G:son composed the song. It is in Swedish. It was an entry in the 2007 Swedish Eurovision selection. Anna also took part in other selections as well.

LEANDIE LOMBAARD covered the song in Afrikaans as KARJOEDEL KAR … JY. Unfortunately it is not available on Youtube, so I have  posted a picture of Leandie and the Youtube video of Anna’s original song.
