DROME VAN MY HART -COLE VAN DAIS
COLE VAN DAIS made a video a week or so ago of a Eurovision song she covered in Afrikaans. It is a song from SAN MARINO, from VALENTINA MONETTA. It was their 2013 Eurovision entry CRISALIDE.
100 RALPH SIEGEL SONGS – SONG 65 (Crisalide)
After two thirds of the 100 Ralph Siegel songs, we get to song 65 which is again one of his actual Eurovision entry – CRISALIDE by Valentina Monetta which represented San Marino in the 2013 Eurovision song contest. Cole van Dais covered it in Afrikaans.
100 RALPH SIEGEL SONGS – SONG 29 (Spirit of the night)
Probably the newest of all Ralph Siegel songs we will feature is the 2017 Eurovision entry for San Marino – SPIRIT OF THE NIGHT by Valentina Monetta & Jimmie Wilson.
AFRI MUSIC SONG CONTEST – 3rd SA registration (Cole van Dais)
Cole van Dais became the 3rd South African artist to register. She has indicated that since she is busy with a DUET CD, her songs will all be duets, Euro covers and even with foreign singers. The first one she registered is with Sergey Sysuev from the Ukraine. And they will do the 2017 Eurovision song from San Marino, SPIRIT OF THE NIGHT, originally sung by Valentina Monetta and Jimmie Wilson. It is of course a song composed by German composer Ralph Siegel who has over 100 of his songs covered in South Africa. Afri music song contest is only open to singers outside of AFRICA if they are in duet with someone from Africa and then the song is entered for the country of origin of the African duet partner. But this is another way to involve especially Eurovision singers to be part of this contest and help it grow.
SPIRIT OF THE NIGHT – POTENTIAL COVER
We started working today on a new exotic duet – between Cole van Dais of South Africa and Sergey Sysuev of Ukraine. They will cover the 2017 Eurovision song of San Marino Spirit of the night. It will be in at least three languages with Sergey singing his bit in one language, Cole singing her bit in another language and together the chorus will be in English. We hope it will be done within the next 3-4 weeks.
