Day 16 - your favourite Spanish entry

1990 Spain: Azúcar Moreno – Bandido (Bandit)

This one was an easy one for me.

Mainly remembered for the ‘false start’ where to the two Salazar sisters entered the stage at the wrong point in the music due to the backing track not working. The footage of the ladies storming off stage and then the backing instrumentalists not sure wether they should mime along or stay static, is quite hilarious and always used on those ‘isn’t Eurovision mad and sad?!?!?!’ compilation shows…

The song itself is amazing. This kind of dance influenced-flamenco sound has been totally under utilised in Eurovision even though, as you can see in this case, it does work !
