Amambanda was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens, performed by all-female trio Treble. This was the second occasion on which a song had been performed with lyrics in an invented language - Belgium having entered Sanomi by Urban Trad at the 2003 Contest. The song is an up-tempo number, with many influences from African and flamenco music. The lyrics explain that "There is a way/To understand without a language", in keeping with the musical theme of exuberant joy in spite of an apparently insurmountable language barrier.

  • Amambanda was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens, performed by all-female trio Treble. This was the second occasion on which a song had been performed with lyrics in an invented language - Belgium having entered Sanomi by Urban Trad at the 2003 Contest. The song is an up-tempo number, with many influences from African and flamenco music. The lyrics explain that "There is a way/To understand without a language", in keeping with the musical theme of exuberant joy in spite of an apparently insurmountable language barrier. As the Netherlands had not finished the 2005 Contest in the Top 10, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed seventeenth, following Finland's Lordi with "Hard Rock Hallelujah" and preceding Lithuania's LT United with "We Are The Winners". At the close of voting, it finished in 20th place, thus missing out on the final and requiring the Netherlands to qualify from the semi-final at the next Contest.
