Onto a fairly tale and what better than NORWAY’s 2009 entry FAIRY TALE sung by ALEXANDER RYBAK. The Afrikaans cover is done by LEE SCOTT who himself attended Eurovision 2010 in Oslo.
Next up is a real South African classic with around 15 people having covered it. It is the 1984 song IK HOU VAN JOU of Netherlands, originally sung by Maribelle. The song was introduced to South Africa 10 years after its Eurovision duet when Dana Winner covered it. We have picked the first Afrikaans cover done by boy band EDEN in 2001.
The next song is very special. It is time for MACEDONIA and it is their 2014 entry TO THE SKY. The song on the compilation CD is a joint effort from TIJANA (the original singer) and RINEL DAY (the South African singer) and they are doing it in duet.
Latvia picked their 2015 entry last night. On the anniversary compilation, we are using their 2007 song QUESTA NOTTE originally sung by Bonaparti.lv. The Afrikaans cover is by three brothers who go under the name on QUALITRIO.
I am putting up a mail we just got from Jan from Slovenia. This is what we love and anybody you have done euro covers, no matter from what country and whatever song you did, we will feature it. This is the main purpose of the website, COVERS.
It’s Jan here from Slovenia, I noticed your website – first of all thanks for Ogae RoW FB team, who published my first Eurovision cover on their facebook page – it was Russian 2014 Eurovision entry “Shine”, which was covered by me & my little sister Linda, available here: http://soundcloud.com/vehar-jan/tolmachevy-sisters-shine-cover-by-jan-lindaA bit more than week ago I actually released one more cover, which is not really Eurovision, but it was part of Melodifestivalen 2007 – it’s “Cara Mia”, originally performed by Måns Zelmerlöw. Cover is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQN4_y3_AJk
If you can help us with promotion with boths songs, we would be more than thankful!Best regards,
Jan Vehar, Slovenia
