Asia
Nurjan Ta'jikenov • "Aday"
0:59+
Personally I think this song is an epic bop and represents Asia pretty well. It's an instrumental that includes both traditional and modern elements while the music video also represents Asian war history.
Africa
Y'akoto • "Perfect Timing"
2:01+
This is a song that I've really stanned in 2014 and 2015 and I still think it's incredibly great. For me it represents a more modern sound than the other songs I submit. It has a jazz and soul vibe to it that I surprisingly enjoy and the sound and video really remind me of Africa.
Europe
Vivaldi • "Winter (1st Movement)"
3:02+
Finally, we have this great classical song. It might seem like a weird choice but Europe is the birthplace of classical music and in the 17th to 19th century Europe was a real hotspot for classical music, giving birth to famous names such as Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi and many more, and even today classical music is still rather relevant in Europe. I don't think any modern or traditional song can really capture this continent full of diversity but classical music like this piece came from every big European country and therefore represent European music really well. Songs like this prove that music has no borders and is a universal language. |

Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik"Hugsjá" (2:17+)EuropeI personally feel that Nordic folk is a genre that isn't quite as appreciated as it should be (at least in the main contests), and so I thought this was a good choice in terms of bringing the kind of thing that's a little under-represented.
MINA"Niña Mala" (1:18+)South AmericaSimilarly, South America is rarely represented on the forums outside of Brazil and perhaps Argentina/Colombia. "Tribal music meets alternative pop and club music" is how this is described and I think that's a good representation of the continent.
Sa Dingding"Capricorn" (3:57+)AsiaDid you really think I wouldn't send something Chinese? Again from a country I think strangely is a little overshadowed by K-P*p/J-Pop in terms of Asian music.
Was NOT expecting to get here at all, I've sent 3 songs that I adore and since I supposedly have a habit of being overshadowed this season I thought representing that with my final three entries is a great way to finish  Whatever happens happens, good luck to you both  |
