Netta Barzilai. That was the formula for Spain’s Rhythmic Gymnastics team at the 2021 European Championships.
Netta has previously said that her song
“Bassa Sababa” uses the Arabic/Hebrew slang words for “Bummer, that’s cool” to recount her personal roller-coaster ride following her newfound fame.
But the women of Spain’s gymnastics team made that ride look smooth and easy as they hurled hoops and clubs into the air, while also spinning, twirling and hitting pirouettes during their three-minute routine. Netta would most definitely be proud!
“Bassa Sababa” was Netta’s first new single after winning Eurovision. Never one for being basic, the accompanying music video let us into Netta’s Willy-Wonka-style world of pink via a video game. Even Nintendo’s Mario would be afraid to level up in this game as the video features a glittery pink rhinoceros charging at a man who left the Israeli singer standing alone at the altar.
