Chanel Terrero (La Habana, 1991) will represent Spain in Eurovision 2022 while winning Benidorm Fest, the contest organized by RTVE to elect a candidate.

La joven cubana –actress, singer and singer with an amplio curriculum on television, cine and theater of our country — it was the fairytale past, day of the first semifinal, an authentic disclosure for the public. The song that was interpreted, SloMo, was first published on YouTube in the December finals and opened with the 100,000 reproductions at the time the festival begins. SloMo is the first and only song of the artist and of Benidorm Fest his first actuation. That a song in the trayectoria in the music industry is alzaado with the first puesto of the competition (thanks, in large part, to the votes of the jury) is not explained in the Emprinarian machinery that has its detours.

Terrero is the BMG tax, a discography belonging to the German conglomerate Bertelsmann, also owner of the editorial Penguin Random House, which will lead the planet to the book market in Spain. Only they and they are consolidated Azúcar Moreno (BMG) y Rayden (Warner Music) has the support of a great discography.

Tanxugueiras and Rigoberta Bandini, the public’s favorites, are not included in the base. Bandini is not associated with any cello and the band gallega saco su primer álbum de forma independiente. Después ficho per Calaverita Records, un pequeña firma madrileña fundada en 2018. Además, tanto Terra como Ay Mamá, sus canciones, están compuestas por ellas. Aída Tarrío, Olaia Maneiro and Sabela Maneiro firman su propia propoesta mientras que Rigoberta Bandini (the artistic number of Paula Ribó) shares with his partner, the comedian Esteban Navarro, who participates in the action. In Chanel, agreeing to the phrases of one of the authors of his song, the search to interpret SloMo.

Elegida para la canción

“I have the theme of having a time and stables we are looking for something that will defend the power of the most potent, more genuine and more sassy way [actitud]as he said in English “, explained Leroy Sánchez, the composer, in a recent interview on Radio 5.” You have the opportunity to see Chanel, to see what he wants, and to say: ‘Es ella’. This song is from her and will be incredible. Our knowledge and power are all super incredible. All pieces of the puzzle will fit perfectly and we will work on the project “.

The other four composers are professional renegades: the Dutch DJ Arjen Thonen, the Brazilian singer Ibere ​​Fortes, the English composer and producer Keith Harris (worked with The Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera) and the Canadian singer Maggie Sz.

Leroy Sánchez is new to RTVE. Nacido en Álava is 31 years old, having been dating a teenager since joining his YouTube songs. With 20 years old, he moved to the United States, first to Miami and then to Los Angeles, where he currently resides. Sanchez composes the song that took place in Spain the year before the Eurovision Song Contest: Voy a quedarme, de Blas Cantó, que quedó in position 24 of 27. También is the author of Make you say, the song interpreted at the Benidorm Sara Deop festival, of style and performance on stage very similar to Chanel’s.

For the choreography of SloMo — my work and one of the main themes of the theme — Chanel’s candidacy with Kyle Hanagami’s work, a Los Angeles choreographer who created jails for Jeniffer López, Ariana Grande, and Britney Spears. “I’ve been on Instagram. I’m sure she has no theme, she has a large base of followers, but she has talent and passion as the contact to see if she can help her make her reality,” Hanagami explained on Instagram. “It is the product of its sueño”.

Festival costs

Although RTVE’s presupposition for Benidorm Fest’s organization and broadcast includes some concepts that cover participants’ costs — in addition to accommodation and diets, hay parties to equip equipment and instruments and technical media, following Newtral’s development through a petition for transparency—, the horror of the guest corrected by his account.

“One part is the sum of artists”, explains Juanma Fernández, founder of the media specializing in Blúper television. “And in the scenes I staged most of the work. I worked with people like Javiera Mena or Xeinn and I recognized that he had made pasta”. It has been shown for some time, Rigoberta Bandini’s wardrobes and his companions’ integrated saloon.

Wardrobe, bailout, choreographers … A good act requires money. Chanel fue, de hecho, the only one that left a trajectory in the semifinals and another distinction in the final: in both cases, monos with transparency and peddling designed by the famous drag queen Carmen Farala.

“Depends on the team of each artist. They sell discography that he inverted when he saw the opportunity,” added Luis Mesa, a Eurovision-based journalist. “As of now, RTVE is the highlight of all this. Hecho, the vestibules of Chanel son of Farala and in the back row of the press to the final the presentation if there were any Eurovision Song Contest. habría que hablarlo “.

The Eurovision Song Contest

Josep Manuel Silva is a periodical, abogado and buen conocedor of the music sector. During our work with the international artist Álvaro Soler, he reflected on everything he had learned from the business in a book. In addition, he was a member of the Spanish Television during 2007 and 2012 and presided over it publicly in 2012, when the presidency was rotating.

“In this era, after the years of Operation Triunfo, we read one propose to cancel the Eurovision selection. Fue el año de Rodolfo Chikilicuatre. This is the maneuver “, related.” There was a Buenafuente shot presented in broma from another case. We have ten candidates, La Casa Azul, with a song, Sexual Revolution, very good. Perio la candidatura abierta y ganó Chikilicuatre. That lesson is a lesson: never open to the public, because you can do something like that “.

Since then, RTVE has sought to find the appropriate system for selecting good candidates. When Silva — he performed for the public company while listening to the music — as soon as the Benidorm Fest celebrated, revised the basics and intuition that, by the time the voting system was set up, it was very possible that TVE would be his “official candidate” “.

The mechanics consisted of 50% of the vote deciding a jury formed by three RTVE people and international experts, 25% a demoscopic jury of 350 people (of which monkeys had information) and the remaining 25%, the television of the public. “The people have to understand that they are is a great deal for authors and discographers. When the song is sung on television or radio money generates money “, dice.

In previous Eurovision editions, RTVE impresses the artists dealing with the 50% of generated editorial rights, tal y como desveló Bluper. This year, without embarrassment, the chain has renounced money laundering with the escogation song and allowed 100% of the rights to be paid to the authors. In the case of Chanel, this money will be for the composers and producers, given that it is the interpreter.

Controversial candidacy

Why did the jury support his candidacy for the rest if he did not win money with his cancellation? “I believe that the phrase is correct and synergistic”, says Silva. “Probably a product of a pact. RTVE is interested in going out with a team back then. Pero his agree that van more all. The discographies have no representation, booking and RTVE works with them. I’m sure of that, tal and as he has the cause, in the higher instances hubieran deseado que ganaran Rigoberta o Taxungueiras pero que RTVE lo tenía muy blindado desde el point of vista commercial “.

The periodical recalls that the best interpretation of the final fue “without doubt, the Chanel. Stage performance, second-hand wardrobe, female students, professionalism … Ahi fue cuando investigué qué había detrás y lo comprendí todo. She participates in very different conditions at rest “, afirma. “A project like this has not been presented without knowing that it has 99% chance of winning. It is not a tongue, not a staff. It is a bargain”. The founder of Bluper, who spent the entire week at Benidorm co-starring the festival, explained that Chanel’s number was expected to be the first day.

“It’s a comment on the mentors that I have won. Era la unica candidacy with a large discography, I’ve had a lot of money for composers and a choreographer, “he said. But it does not have any authenticity: it is a product that was created “.
