Europapa was written and performed by Dutch artist Joost Klein and released in February 2024 as the Netherlands entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö. The track blends Eurodance, gabber and pop as a tribute to Europe and to Klein's late father, who introduced him to the contest. Its opening welcome became a shareable hook on TikTok and in fan edits, surviving the contest itself after Klein was disqualified before the final and continuing as a shorthand for European pride and travel.
About this sound
Welkom in Europa is the opening line from Europapa by Joost Klein, the Netherlands Eurovision 2024 song, used for Europe travel and party edits.
Welkom in Europa is the Dutch welcome that opens Europapa, sung in a bright, chant-like delivery over fast Eurodance and gabber-pop energy. The line repeats as a hook, simple enough to understand in any language, and it lands like an announcement arriving in a new country. Listeners hear pride, humour and a rush of nostalgia for 90s rave pop all at once. That mix makes the short clip feel celebratory rather than aggressive, a cheerful stamp in the passport that instantly signals a European trip, party or joke is starting.
