Blanca Paloma, Spain’s representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, took the stage at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool (UK) this Saturday night to defend her song Eaea. The winner of the Benidorm Fest, who came in eighth place and was one of the favorite contestants of the night (bookies put her in the top 5 to date), has replaced Chanel with a flamenco tribute to her grandmother Carmen.

Similar to her performance at the Benidorm Fest, the woman from Elche presented her proposal with strength and claw surrounded by the dancers (Angélica Moyano, Paloma Scharfhausen and Paula Valbuena) and the two palms (Desiré Paredes and Saray Frutos). who accompanied her during the Eurovision trip. Blanca Paloma had to do without the fringes hanging from the ceiling, as originally planned, but thanks to a platform with wheels, she managed to keep the circular curtain inspired by the shawl of her grandmother Carmen, the woman who taught her flamenco.
José Pablo Polo, the producer of Eaea, struggled to capture the second half of the performance overhead until hours before the gala. Eventually, the camera was able to zoom in on what the team wanted, despite the fact that the organization had refused to do so in both the semifinals and subsequent trials. Paola de Diego was the designer of the goalkeeper’s original wardrobe.
Blanca Paloma, trained in the fine arts and with experience in stage design, began her artistic career at the age of 33. His first recording was Secreto del agua, the soundtrack of RTVE Play’s documentary series Lucía en la telaraña, with which he placed fifth in Benidorm last year.
