'Europapa': A borderless anthem for a United Europe



On this day every year, Europe celebrates the ethos of being united as declared from the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Robert Schuman back on 9th May 1950. And since a new Eurovision week is coming ahead next week (13-17 May), I want to surface an all-time favorite entry, that shares a common message.

The song is none other than 'Europapa' from Netherlands by Joost Klein, from last year’s contest.  It catches your attention with its infectious energy, the multilingual lyrics, and that wild Gabber drop; this is where the Dutch legend DJ Paul Elstak added his unmistakable loud and very Dutch touch.
