Re: Rumia | R.I.O. - Shine On

Fiddler's Green managed to maintain their status as Rumia's most internationally successful artist. Their result again allows our next entrant to go directly to the final as a prequalifier. This time the honor will go to a dance band R.I.O., whose song Shine On was one of the prominent chart hits during Rumia's first wave of house/dance popularity in late 00s. This peaceful and sunny vibe carries on the reminiscence of our country's best times.


R.I.O. - Shine On


Trivia: The vocalist, Tony T, will be the first black person to represent Rumia in NSC(or 2nd, if you count Big Ali's contribution to Lucenzo's entry in 84).

Re: Rumia | R.I.O. - Shine On

Same here, i guess? xD

Late 00s had some really amazing house, dance and pop hits!


I can't tell why, but 10s so far don't impress me anywhere that much on that field. Or maybe it's just the first sign of me getting old :lol:
All of them have already been in NSC, Shine On is one of the last still left for ::rum ;)

Re: Rumia 97 | Mythos - Icarus

New age climates have significant presence in Rumia, but they haven't got enough representation in our NSC history. We've showed a lot of our country's and its folk culture's rustic beauty. Now we're going to show it from a more pretentious, atmospheric angle. With a relatively simple composition and a memorable piano melodic line, Icarus by Mythos achieves the mystic, dream-like atmosphere of new age music.

Re: Rumia 98 | Diablo Swing Orchestra - Balrog Boogie

Our country is full of unheard of tales. This one speaks of events in a mythical land of Sweden, roughly 500 years ago. It speaks of a music ensemble, who played as fugitives, and in defiance of the king and Lutheran church. They played like no other - fiercely and bewitching the masses, for the content of all social classes. Eventually, after two years of hiding, they were captured and hanged right after their final performance. But before it happened, they had signed a pact that one day their descendants would revive the orchestra. And here they are - descendants of the original group found themselves in Rumia, ready to amaze the world once again.

Diablo Swing Orchestra - Balrog Boogie


Full Story:

The Diablo Swing Orchestra dates back to 1501 in Sweden, where history tells the tale of an orchestra that played like no other. With music so seductive and divine that the ensemble overwhelmed audiences all over the country, and people from all social classes took them to their hearts. Their performances rapidly earned a reputation of being feral and vigorous and gained the orchestra a devoted crowd that followed them around.

During the later half of the 16'th century the criticism against the royal crown dictatorial ruling had intensified. Gifts and tenancies had made the chruch extremely wealthy, and since the money merely was used to strengthen their power the discontent among the people was growing. To many people the orchestra presented them to a new view upon things and a way to cope with everyday life.

The church witnessed how their influence over the people decreased and began to depict the orchestra as treacherous, saying their intentions were anything but righteous. The orchestras extensive use of the prohibited tritonus interval in their music as well as their excessive lifestyles was facts that were not looked mildly upon. During church services priests slandered the music saying it was an insult to Christ himself. However, when this attempt to reduce the orchestras popularity failed, the church began to use more desperate measures in order to regain its former power. The Devils orchestra became the slogan they used and the members were accused of being everything from devil worshippers to the spawn of Satan. This catchphrase eventually caught on and became the popular name of the orchestra. When even these efforts shown futile the church ultimately framed the orchestra members for a murder and a ruthless manhunt began. The following two years the orchestra lead the lives of outlaws and were forced to perform in barns and outhouses, where only a strictly limited number of people were allowed to attend. Luckily generous people provided them with food and somewhere to sleep.

In order to capture the orchestra the church issued a reward to the person that could provide such information that lead to the capture of the orchestra. The sum was so large that the orchestra, tired and weary of living as fugitives, realised that it all had come to and end. They knew that sooner or later someone would reveal their whereabouts and the decided to go down in style.
But before doing so they all signed a pact saying that their descendants were given the task of reuniting the orchestra in 500 years and continue their work of spreading thought-provoking music. Six envelopes were therefore sealed and given to trustees of the orchestra to pass on to family members.

They announced their final concert publicly as a grandeur finale. Thousands of people showed up and even though it was almost no one who could actually hear the music, the massive sing-along of the crowd granted the performance to be the most talked about in history. Thanks to the huge amount of people the orchestra was allowed to play until their last song when armed guards finally managed to storm the stage and arrest the musicians. They were sent prison and later sentenced to death by hanging.

Stockholm 2003, by mere accident two of the original orchestra descendants meet in a music shop and began to discuss music. It later shows that they both have received a strange letter from some ancient relative containing instructions on how to reunite The Devils Orchestra. They both become very excited and though some genealogy they managed to find all of the remaining successors in a period of three months.

Unfortunate all of the original scores were confiscated and burned by the church back in 1503. So music-wise the new orchestra were left with no directions on what to play. After some meticulous discussions it was agreed upon that the music should be like a modern version of the old orchestra. Annlouice was chosen to front the band, her angelic yet powerful operatic voice was perfect to bring a bombastic feeling to the music. Pontus dance-influences and programming skills came in handy since the orchestra wanted the arrangements to sound a bit more futuristic. He shares guitar duties with Daniel who also is the main composer in the band. Andy brought some groove to the mix adding powerful slapping and funk-oriented bass licks, while Andreas's energetic drumming made sure the songs are driven and pulsating. Together with Anders, he lays the solid swinging foundation of the band. Johannes's theoretical knowledge and stunning technique combined with an emotive cello-playing style made him essential to the bands sound.

Together they answer to the name of Diablo Swing Orchestra and are determined to honour the legacy of their ancestors.

Re: Rumia 99 | Perfect World - Lost City

9 is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture (a civilization believed to exist somewhere close to Yaponesia), being a homophone to "long lasting" (久), as well as a representation of the Chinese dragon - a symbol of wisdom and strength. Consider this to be a wish and a good sign for the contest. Presenting you our first entry from the Middle Kingdom:
Perfect World - Lost City

Re: Rumia 100 --- Song of the Lonely Mountain / Spinoff Congrats 2 --- Frei zu Sein

I don't normally post spinoff entries here, but we will enter Congrats 2 with
In Extremo - Frei zu Sein
which was Rumia's first spinoff entry, in the amazing Unplugged contest. It finished on surprising 2nd position and the spinoff itself remains the best ever!

Re: Rumia

I'm going in a moment (the last ship is sailing off to attack Orangualia), so this will be a quick announcement: we're entering an extremely catchy and cheerful song combining electronic and folk elements. And it is not Welcome to Racha.
