Any other volunteers for the draw tomorrow at 15:00 CET? You don’t have to be present the whole process, but I’d appreciate as much hands as possible.

I would want help but because my job I won't be able to do it, its also reason why I will send my votes just tonight and not earlier :/

All the nations have voted! In 6 hours we will have the draw.

The draw will start in just a few minutes, so let's present the 8th (and last for the moment) traditional folk dance!

 

Isa

 

The isa comes from the same trunk as the variety of peninsular jotas. In some parts of the Archipelago they are still called jotas or jotillas, but in Gran Canaria they are known as isas.

 

The isa derives rhythmically and melodically from the peninsular jota . It is characterized by having an intense ternary rhythm, a fast and happy song, and for being one of the best-known collective dances in the Archipelago. The Canarian isa is played with guitar, lute, bandurria and timple.

Good afternoon everyone.

Hola Totallympics!

 

 

Welcome to the Draw for the

Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2023

 

With less than a week before the event begins, I have once more the pleasure to help with the draw of this edition hosted by our fantastic organizer @Cobi.

 

 

As per usual, the draw is to be conducted by revealing the contents behind two panels, with the first one some fine paintings of Spanish artists hiding the ordinal number that will determine the time slot  for the juries to reveal their votes.

 

The second panel shows some of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites and cultural patrimony of the host country, which in turn conceal the flag of each national jury, thus letting us know the exact place to cast the vote and will also assign the contests to one of the nine teams for the Team competition, which in this edition are:

 

 

Teams	Voting Positions
TOLEDO EAGLES	1	11	20	30
PAMPLONA BULLS	2	12	21	31
MURCIA FLAMINGOS	3	13	22	32
BARCELONA DRAGONS	4	10	14	23	33
ZARAGOZA STORKS	5	15	24	34
MADRID BEARS	6	16	25	29	35
GRANADA LYNXES	7	17	26	36
MALLORCA DOLPHINS	8	18	27	37
VALENCIA TORTOISES	9	19	28	38

As we continue in a few moments, let me hear from my volunteers.

Are you there: @Cinnamon Bun @hckošice @heywoodu?

[mrv86 2,923]

So we have @hckošice here, and since @Cobi doesn't know the contents behind the panels, he might join as well.

 

Anyone else? While we give 5 more minutes, let's reveal the panels.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, behold Spain and its culture!
