Jamala
<p>In 2016, a Ukrainian trained opera singer sang a song about the deportation of Crimeans in 1944, which could easily also be interpreted as a thinly veiled comment on the recent Russian annexation of Crimea.</p><p>It is sometimes hard to remember that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been going on for almost a decade now, but Jamala did try to warn us already back then and sadly she was proven all too correct when Russia invaded the entire Ukraine in February of 2022.</p><p>She has currently fled the country, but before the contest in Turin Emil managed to get a rare interview with the Ukrainian hero, hiding in an undisclosed location.</p><p>She tells us about her victory in Stockholm, her jobs as a juror on various - often controversial - Ukrainian national finals and of course about the ongoing war. Emil and Marcus also add their own comments on the situation.</p><br><p>Legend: Jamala</p><p>Song: 1944 (Ukraine 2016)</p><p>Host: Emil Löfström</p><p>Sidekick: Marcus Björkander</p><p>Contact: emil@schlagervannerna.se</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/eurovisionlegendspodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/eurovisionlegendspodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Hans Van Hemert
<p>Many countries in Eurovision seem to have their own "super-composer", and in the case of the Netherlands this person is Hans van Hemert. He wrote the Dutch entries of 1972, 1974 and 1976, and he has made many more attempts, which we of course get to listen to in this episode. It gets really crowded in the virtual podcast room today, as Hans and Emil are joined by Frenk Reemer, brother of Sandra Reemer, Astrid Colle, daughter of Sandra's duet partner Andres, and a whistling parrot.</p><p>Hans takes us back to the glorious 70's and tells us about his main inspirations, which are ABBA and kid's songs. We also get to hear about how he made a fool of himself when meeting Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. We get to hear the intimate details about the relations between Mouth & MacNeal, Sandra & Andres and other famous artists that he has worked with.</p><p>Hans is still active, so what did the song that he submitted in 2022 sound like? We have the demo!</p><p>Legend: Hans Van Hemert</p><p>Songs: Als het om de liefde gaat (The Netherlands 1972), I See A Star (The Netherlands 1974), The Party's Over (The Netherlands 1976)</p><p>Host: Emil Löfström</p><p>Contact: emil@schlagervannerna.se</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/eurovisionlegendspodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/eurovisionlegendspodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://shows.acast.com/5ef9a2bf2a01c450649b1146" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http//www.eurovisionlegends.se</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
