Bulgarians cheer "Bangaranga" and the country's first Eurovision win

Bulgarians celebrated on Sunday their country's surprise first win in the Eurovision Song Contest as they prepared to welcome home Dara who triumphed with her catchy, crowd-pleasing, optimistic dance track "Bangaranga."

Prime Minister Rumen Radev took to Facebook to congratulate Dara, who is expected to return to Bulgaria later on Sunday.

He said that Bulgaria awaits Europe and the world when Sofia is expected to host the 71st Eurovision Song Contest next year.

On Saturday night, Eurovision fans in Sofia watched coverage of the contest held in Vienna this year that has been overshadowed by a boycott by five countries over the Gaza war.
