This video aims to show what the Intervision Song Festival of 1977 might have sounded like. Many of the songs that took part in Intervision and Sopot in this period are lost to time. In this video, I try to recreate the line-up of Intervision as closely as possible. Where this is impossible, I use songs that are from the same artist and from the same period. Where I can't find a video for an artist, I use a performance of a different song.

The full playlist of songs is available here!

Enjoy!



Notes:
🇧🇬 Bulgaria Lili Ivanova "Hashe lyato"
Note: The original song which Lili Ivanova performed at Intervision is called “Khrizanetmi” however it is not available on youtube or any other open platform, so instead I selected a popular song of hers from the mid-70s.

🇭🇺 Hungary Kati és a Kerek Perec "Egy dal neked"

🇨🇺 Cuba Farah María "El Recuerdo de Aquel Largo Viaje"

🇨🇿 Czechoslovakia Jiří Korn "Jak se člověk mýlí"
Note: This is, of course, a cover of ABBA’s “Money, Money”. Intervision and Sopot was much less a contest of original songs but rather of artists, so covers were allowed and not uncommon, especially covers of Polish songs.
