Episode 23: Black People Love Eurovision (& Paramore)

Episode 23: Black People Love Eurovision (& Paramore)

By Jeremy Bent, Oscar Montoya, Dimitry Pompée

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).
