¡Bienvenidos a España! Welcome to Sevilla!

 

The wait has come to an end! Three months after the thrilling 2022 Open Contest in the Czech Republic, today begins the twentieth edition of the Totallympics International Song Contest, which will be the first time that Spain will act as host country thanks to the victory in 2022 of Tanxugueiras.

 

Several Spanish cities have shown interest in hosting such an important event, but after a long period of deliberation, the organizing team has opted for...

 

¡Sevilla!

 

 

The capital of Andalucía is the fourth largest city in the country with 700,000 citizens and almost 2 million living in the metropolitan area. Since Roman times it has played a fundamental role in the history of Spain, having the largest historic center in the country. This is evident when walking through its streets, where you can see the legacy left by the Romans, Visigoths, Arabs and Christians...

 

In sports Sevilla hosted the World Athletics Championships in 1999, the Rhythmic Gymnastics Worlds in 1998 and the Rowing Worlds in 2002. It was also one of the venues for World Cup games in both football (1982) and basketball (2014).

 

Over the next few weeks, we will travel to different places of the country to learn about traditional music and what better way than to start with the host city and the agrupaciones musicales, instrumental musical groups whose origin is linked to Easter, the most popular celebration of Sevilla alongside the Feria de Abril!

“Sevilla tiene un color especial!” 
 

por supuesto Portugal is in 🇵🇹

 

Spain is probably the nation I’ve visited the most during my life (have family there and spent all my summers there during my childhood and teenage years) so I can’t wait to “visit” it yet another time 

 

as for the contest it’s always a bit difficult for me the anual edition (due to not be living in Portugal for 6 years now) but I’ll find something out I’m sure

LALEH & DARIN

 

Vi är på riktigt (We are for real)

 

English lyrics 

 

I believed in Real Love

I believed in the movies I saw

But doubt grows so easily

When no one out there was right for me

 

I've met so many

And probably see through most things

People they're so good at acting

Everything just because we're so scared, so scared

 

So will anyone believe in love

then, if the whole world becomes crazy

It's just the stuff you see in movies

And never in real life

 

Will you believe in love

Or will you mess it upp again

Hope you still remember

We are for real!

 

We are for real!

We are for real!

 

I believe in a feeling

A feeling for what's true

Sure, I forget to listen some times

But it always catches up to me, everywhere

 

Met so many - so many

And probably see through most things

People they're so good at acting

But with you I just want to talk, from heart

 

Will anyone believe in love

then, if the whole world becomes crazy

It's just the stuff you see in movies

And never in real life

 

Will you believe in love

Or will you mess it upp again

Hope you still remember

We are for real!

 

We are for real!

We are for real!

 

Will you forget we are for real

We are for real!

Will you forget we are for real

We are for real!

Will you forget we are for real

We are for real!

 

Will you believe in love

Will you remember it later

We are for real!
