Eurovision Explained: by instruments
11 December 2020 at 17:00 CET
Welcome back to Eurovision Explained . This time we take a closer look at some of the musical cornerstones of the Contest. It s time to talk about burning pianos and synchronised drums in Eurovision Explained: by instruments!
We go back again to Petra Mede in the Interval Act for Eurovision 2016 when she told us that the Contest has to have drums . Petra wasn t wrong either, and these examples can be found throughout the competition s history. In fact, one country has shown an exceptional interest in using this particular instrument and that s Ukraine!
