17.05.2026

Incredible success for Bulgaria! DARA is the big winner of the Eurovision Song Contest final.
Bulgarian pop star DARA won the Eurovision Song Contest with her energizing dance anthem Bangaranga. Her performance caused a whiplash with choreography based on the ancient Bulgarian tradition of Kukeri, in which masked performers chase away evil spirits.
Before the grand finale, the Bulgarian singer also received an award for best artistic performance.
With her brilliant performance of the song "Banagaranga", the Bulgarian singer won the hearts of viewers not only on the Old Continent, but also around the world.
After raising the trophy with the crystal microphone, DARA said: "I want to thank everyone who felt Bangaranga and felt connected to the power."

Next year's Eurovision Song Contest will be held in the Bulgarian capital Sofia.
