Portugal – The Eurovision Song Contest 1993

As everybody knows, The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual competition held among active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union. Participating countries submit a song to be performed live television.

The Eurovision Song Contest 1993 was the 38^th and was held on 15^th May, 1993 in Millstreet, County Cork, Republic of Ireland. In this event, 25 countries had participated on the final round. In the end, Portugal was the 10^th with the contribution of a wonderful voice that is the one of Anabela with the song “Cidade Até Ser Dia”. This singer also became an actress, and she has shone in theatre, mainly in fantastic musical theatre plays.

"Cidade Até Ser Dia" is a beautiful, emotional song that transmits us magic and, at the same time, a hope to fulfil our dreams… I’m proud to be Portuguese, because of some wonderful sweet voices like this one. I must confess that whenever I listen this special song, a chill invades myself and my eyes start shining, sincerely, I don’t know why. For all these reasons, it’s always good to remember a proud moment for us, Portuguese… Close your eyes, and listen this pure deep voice. Enjoy…
