Nothing happened for many years: I had no recording of the event, just my memory. When the internet started to become popular, I had a new chance to hear the song. And so I finally got to buy the single in 1999. Quite a rare find, in the Netherlands. Thank God for record fairs.
My collection: 7" single no. 3152
Found: Record fair, Amsterdam, September 19, 1999
Cost: 7 guilders
Tracks: 'Quién maneja mi barca' / 'Noche, luna y olivo'

The encroachment of English, in the Eurovision Song Contest increases year by year.
ReplyDeleteMay I say, as a native English speaker that this unfair.
The time has come to break this habit of "language imperialism", in the Eurovision Song Contest, and use a song, sung in Esperanto instead!
This is a serious suggestion, as you can see from the Esperanto music which is already available at http://www.vinilkosmo.com/?prs=listen or at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8837438938991452670
There's even cheesy Esperanto music available! See http://www.ipernity.com/home/76977
Besides the fact, that this song is one of the many exceptional gems you collected, I got to pay you big compliments for this blog as a whole, because it's really awesome. Keep up the good work !
