Episode 23: Black People Love Eurovision (& Paramore)

In honor of Juneteenth, we’ve prepared a celebration of the many great black musicians who’ve been a part of the Eurovision Song Contest over the decades, and who better to join the party than the host of Black People Love Paramore, Sequoia Holmes? Jeremy’s clapping on the 1’s and 3’s, Dimitry has an interesting take on the Netherlands, Sequoia’s not feeling cruise music, and Oscar doesn’t think he’s man enough (man enough).

Watch Dimitry’s mega-playlist of black performers in Eurovision, starting with Milly Scott in 1966.

“Was that Whitney Houston?”

And as always, this week’s companion playlist.

The Eurovangelists are Jeremy Bent, Oscar Montoya and Dimitry Pompee.

The theme was arranged and recorded by Cody McCorry and Faye Fadem, and the logo was designed by Tom Deja.

Production support for this show was provided by the Maximum Fun network.

Audio mixing help was courtesy of Shane O’Connell.
