Baccara

Eurovision Legends - A podcast by Emil Löfström

Categories:

The Spanish duo Baccara were one of the biggest bands in the world in the late 1970's, and with hits like "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" they set sales records that are still holding today. At the peak of their career, they decided to part in and win the Eurovision pre-selection in Luxembourg, and went on to represent the small country in Eurovision 1978 with "Parlez-Vous Francais?" Emil was introduced to the music of Baccara already as a small child and is starstruck to finally get the opportunity to speak with Maria Mendiola and Cristina Sevilla, the current members of Baccara. They openly tell us about why they decided to take part in the Eurovision for Luxembourg when they were already so hugely popular, the disagreements that have led to there being many different incarnations of the group over the years, their participation in the the Swedish Melodifestivalen in 2004, what Maria - who wasn't in that particular instance of the group - honestly think about the song "Soy tu Venus" and they will also let us listen to new music that they are currently producing.
