Recently it was announced that Blas Cantó’s song will be chosen in a Special Gala organized by RTVE and the public will decide which song they want to hear in Rotterdam.
Now the songs have finally been revealed.
Memoria is an uptempo song, which is written by Blas himself alongside Steve Daly, Oliver Som and Leroy Sánchez. Leroy Sánchez is also the author of Blas song ‘El No Soy Yo’.
Blas had this to say about the Memoria entry:
The theme has a lot of power, it has a song and the spirit of the soul. It is a very careful production, with a lot of percussion, with a very powerful voice game.
“Voy a Quedarme” is a powerful ballad with modern composition, that feels totally different from what Blas has previously offered. The song is written by Leroy Sanchez, and Daniel (Dangelo) Ortega and Dan Hammond. Dangelo also co-wrote Blas’ hits No Volveré, Complicado, as well as Universo, which was Spain’s ESC 2020 song. “Voy a Quedarme” is produced by Dan Hammond.
Tony Aguilar and Julia Varela, the commentators of the festival in Spain, will be the guests of the ‘big party of Blas’ which promises to be a “dynamic, emotional and entertaining space” and with many surprises to be unveiled. For his part, the creative director Marvin Dietmann will collaborate on the staging of both themes for his representation at Destino Eurovision.
Pastora Soler, Vanesa Martín, Edurne, Nia, Andrés Suárez, Cepeda and Roi will be among the acts.
