Balgarianovinite.com Bulgarian musicians, actors and writers, including some of the brightest stars on the national entertainment and intellectual scene, congratulated Dara on winning the Eurovision Song Contest on the night of Saturday to Sunday with her song “Bangaranga”. Bulgaria has won the contest for the first time. This happened during its 70th edition in Vienna, and it means that Bulgaria will host the event next year.
Lili Ivanova, singer, said in a Facebook post: “A historic success for Bulgaria! Congratulations to the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest – the young and very talented Bulgarian singer DARA / Darina Yotova!”
Vasil Naydenov, singer, shared on his social media profiles a photo of Dara with the trophy, and wrote: “Dara wins Eurovision! Bravo!”
Georgi Gospodinov, writer, posted on Facebook photos of the final ranking and of the Eurovision winner, accompanied by the portmanteau “BlagoDara!”, coined from Dara’s name and sounding like the Bulgarian word for “thank you”.
The reaction of actress Maria Bakalova also came via social media. She posted a photo of Dara and wrote that she was very proud of the Bulgarian winner of Eurovision.
The band Molec commented: “Dara was on a level, terribly many levels, above every other participant in the contest. She showed them how it’s done! We are proud of Dara.” Molec competed with Dara in the national selection that chose Bulgaria’s representative for Eurovision 2026.
Vladimir Mihaylov, musician and actor, also congratulated Dara on her victory. Mihaylov represented Bulgaria at Eurovision twice – once as a backing vocalist for Kristian Kostov in Kyiv in 2017, when Bulgaria reached second place in the final ranking with the song “Beautiful Mess”, and again in 2018 as part of the group Equinox, which represented Bulgaria at Eurovision in Lisbon with the song “Bones”.
Teodora Duhovnikova, actress, advised everyone who had criticized Dara for her song not to do so again. “And next time, Bulgaria, do not turn away from your children! Dara won! Bulgaria won!”, Duhovnikova said in a social media post.
