By Joe Bleasdale

The Grand Final of Festival da Canção 2024 ended about an hour ago. A total of 12 acts competed in the Portuguese Final, and regional juries as well as the public across Portugal have selected the winner, and the Portuguese Eurovision entrant for Malmö – Iolanda with her song “Grito”.

Moments after winning Festival da Canção, we spoke to Iolanda, got her first impressions, and also asked her more about the message and the meaning behind her self-penned “Grito”. Check out everything she told us in this interview right here:

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).
