After the stirring moments of D-Night, anticipation built around one of the event’s most talked-about showdowns. The first edition of Benidorm Festival had just concluded, and the scene was set for a reunion that fans had hoped to see. Following a third-place finish at Eurovision 2022, the team behind Tanxugueiras reconnected with Chanel in a live, high-energy broadcast. The message was clear and warmly delivered: congratulations are in order. The collective felt the pride of a squad that had delivered a memorable performance, and the sentiment was universal — a higher placement might have reflected an even broader wave of appreciation, but the triumph already spoke volumes about their journey and growth as performers.
During the exchange, Sabela Maneiro spoke about the channels that connected them before, noting a February moment when a conversation and a brief voice exchange sparked new possibilities. The group conveyed sincere congratulations to the team, emphasizing the effort and teamwork that made their recent work special. The sentiment was grounded in mutual respect and the shared understanding that a concerted effort can lift everyone involved. A simple, heartfelt admission from Olaia added warmth to the dialogue, underscoring the sense of camaraderie that has grown among the participants as they push toward bigger stages and bolder performances.
In the broadcast, the group extended a farewell wish that echoed through the call: enjoy the moment with family, embrace the journey ahead, and remain open to more opportunities. The message carried a hopeful tone, inviting continued connections and shared celebrations as the season unfolds. The participants teased the possibility of another Zoom gathering, suggesting a future rendezvous in which the warmth and energy of current conversations could be translated into renewed collaboration and perhaps fresh stages for the ensemble and its allies.
That moment of reunion arrived in the context of a larger celebration: the sense that the Benidorm Festival experience had brought people closer and opened doors to collaborative prospects. The group’s remarks hinted at a broader belief that this collective moment was not a single event but the start of ongoing interactions with each other and with the broader Spanish music community. The anticipation was not for a one-time acknowledgment but for sustained engagement as new projects and performances come together, building on the momentum created by the festival and the Eurovision journey that followed.
Previously, Tanxugueiras had offered their congratulations to Chanel on her official channels after her Eurovision 2022 appearance with Slo Mo. Their message, shared on social media, expressed admiration for the show, the performance, and the result, while acknowledging that they could not be present at the event due to prior commitments. The public exchange underscored a shared respect among competitors and collaborators who recognize the value of supporting each other as they pursue ambitious artistic goals. The entire group of Benidorm Festival contestants joined in this sentiment, extending best wishes and genuine applause for Chanel’s continued impact on audiences. The response reflected the tone of unity and encouragement that characterizes the festival circuit, especially among artists who have navigated the rigorous landscapes of national and international contests.
With the celebration of Chanel’s performance and the triumph it represented, the narrative pointed toward a broader outlook: a collective commitment to continued excellence, ongoing work, and ongoing bets at the highest levels of performance. The gathering of friends, rivals, and supporters illustrated a shared belief that success is most meaningful when it fosters further collaboration and elevates the standards of what the community can achieve together. This sense of forward motion, paired with a respect for each artist’s individual journey, helped to frame the festival as more than a single event — it was a turning point that invited everyone involved to strive for new heights and to keep the energy alive as the season moved forward.
