It is not the first time that Movistar’s channel #0 features a Eurovision entry its popular dance show Fama a Bailar. Last year the 2018 Cypriot entry Fuego featured in the show and Eleni Foureira was invited to perform in the gala.
Fama a Bailar, is hosted by one of Spain’s most sought after television presenters, Paula Vazquez. Eurovision fans will be familiar with her as she hosted the 2007 Spanish Eurovision national selection Mision Eurovision.
After Fuego comes Replay! Last Sunday two of the talent dance show’s participants Lohi Rodriguez and Davo Bezares mesmerised the Spanish audience with Tamta’s Replay. Their dance choreography was directed by Iker Carrera, the same man who choreographed Fuego‘s choreography in the show last year.

About Tamta
Tamta is amongst the most sought after artists in Greece today having released released numerous albums and singles throughout her career.
The Georgian-born Greek artist attempted to partake at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007 when she competed at the Greek national final with her entry With love. Then in 2015 she tried to go to Eurovision again but was not able to compete in the Greek national final as she missed the submission deadline reportedly with Alex P’s Unloved.
The Athens based star was selected via an internal selection in order to fly the Cypriot flag at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv with her entry Replay.
Tamta’s Eurovision entry has been composed by none other than Alex Papaconstatinou, whilst Sacha Jean-Baptiste will be responsible for her staging in Tel Aviv.
Cyprus in Eurovision
Cyprus joined at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981 with the group Island, achieving an honorable 6th placing in Dublin.

The country achieved its best Eurovision result this year when it placed 2nd with Eleni Foureira’s Fuego.
