Amina

Eurovision Legends - A podcast by Emil Löfström

Categories:

One of Emil's earliest memories was when an exotic French beauty very consciously dropped her scarf during her performance in 1991, and of the chaos that erupted when she finished on the same score as the Swedish representative Carola, but eventually lost due to previously unused tiebreak rules. Amina is not one to hold a grudge though, as she later moved to Sweden, and we will even get to listen to the song she submitted to the Swedish preselection Melodifestivalen. We are also treated to her recording of a famous Swedish lullaby, and we get to hear the story of how she, a singer of world music who had never even considered Eurovision, ended up competing for France and providing them with their best result in the last 40 years.
