Bandua: “We all have the right to screw up.”

By Joe Bleasdale

Last week, our very own Joe B got to chat to Dario and Edgar of Bandua, who will be competing in the second semi-final of Festival da Canção 2023!

Among chat about their song, Bandeiras (Flags), FDC and Eurovision itself, the group gave rehearsal details, talked about their home region of Beira Baixa in Portugal, and presented the idea of a “Eurovision without flags”.

You can watch the full interview with the group HERE:

To remind you of the song, here is Bandua’s entry for FDC 2023:

Thank you so much for your time, Bandua, and boa sorte for next Saturday!

I'm Joe. I was born in Copenhagen, grew up in London, speak French and Spanish and have been a near-lifelong fan of Eurovision.

I accidentally stumbled across Eurovision after staying up past my bedtime in 2005, then got hooked in 2009, discovered semi-finals in 2011, then national finals in 2016, and now, it's my favourite sport (you can bet on it, after all). I'm also a newly-huge fan of Sanremo, which means I've inadvertantly learned Italian given about 80% of my playlists are made up of those artists.

My all-time favourite Eurovision songs are Sergio Dalma's "Bailar pegados" (Spain 1991) and Lordi's "Hard Rock Hallelujah" (Finland 2006).
