The 35th Eurovision Song Contest took place on May 5, 1990 in the Vatroslav Lisinski Hall in Zagreb (now Croatia ). Italy won it with the song Insieme: 1992, written and performed by Toto Cutugno .

particularities

For Germany, the duo Chris Kempers and Daniel Kovac took part with the title Free to Live , which, although highly favored, landed in 9th place. This was followed by the song No more walls by Simone from Austria, which had to qualify through a back door, as the actual winner had already competed in the German qualification in 1987. These two titles were only two of many that at least hinted at the fall of the wall or the collapse of the Eastern bloc regime. Norway, Ireland and the winner Italy also dealt with political issues. Switzerland came with Egon Egemann and music sounds out into the world in 11th place behind Germany and Austria.

Allegedly, shortly before the contest, the moderators threatened to cancel due to disagreements with Yugoslav television. There were a few mishaps during the broadcast: Car number 1 from Spain had to start twice because on the first attempt only the rhythm playback was played, but the conductor could not hear anything. The Italian jury responded with “jury espagnol”. During the victory lecture, there was chaos in the auditorium as journalists piled on top of the audience to grab a photo.

Belgium representative Philippe Lafontaine originally did not want to publish his song Macédomienne, a homage to his wife from Macedonia, commercially, so that for a long time there was only a promotional edition of vinyl singles limited to 500 copies and the title was the only Eurovision contribution from 1990 to the one in Scandinavia published year sampler is missing. In view of the war in Yugoslavia, Lafontaine was ready to make the song available for a benefit CD single in 1994.
