In recent years millions of Romanians have moved abroad in pursuit of work — and a chance to make life better for their children. But in doing so they leave those children behind. Romania’s Voltaj sing about the pain of separation in their Eurovision 2015 song “De La Capat”. wiwiblogger Chris sat down with the band after their first Eurovision rehearsal to learn more about their goals. The band’s members are fathers themselves and their friends have had to move abroad to support their families. They realize this has a detrimental effect on the children’s lives, so they set up a project last autumn in coordination with the song’s release to raise awareness.

You can watch the full interview below.

@Eurofan2015 – What you say is true, but is obvious that Eurovision is no longer a song contest. Staging, mimics and the look of the singer seems to have more value than the song itself.

It makes no sense to me, but this is how things work nowadays in Eurovision “Song” Contest.

Romania’s song has beautiful message & is meaningful.. I find it not bad at all.. That little boy in the song’s videoclip is such sweet angel… <3 Well the romanian song has many chances to qualify if Voltaj deliver a good enough live performance & Romania will not gonna lose hopefully the all time record that currently has with getting always all the time the precious qualification from every SF since 2004.. {The lead singer of the band has attractive face…But since he is not that young anymore i guess that he shaved his head because of alopecia/hair losing…{i have… Read more »
