Already a household name in her native Bulgaria, pop singer DARA secured her place on the international stage by winning Eurovision with her infectious song Bangaranga, which aims to show "everything is possible".The 27-year-old upset the odds to secure her country's first-ever victory at the Eurovision Song Contest, proving herself a winner once the votes came in from around the continent.She gained traction during Eurovision week with her intense and ultra-choreographed dancing on the catchy Bangaranga.Ahead of the final, DARA herself said she did not expect a win."I don't expect anything It first joined in 2005.Her latest album, ADHDara, is inspired by her "hyperactivity"."This syndrome and all these things I'm trying to fight against are part of me," DARA told Bulgarian television station bTV in September.Videos on social media "rarely hold people's attention for more than six seconds," said the singer, adding that she has to keep up with this fast pace to stay in touch with her fans.DARA's success has given Bulgarian society a rare moment of unity in a fragmented country, stirring memories of 1994, when the national football team finished fourth in the World Cup."You already hold first place in the heart of all of Bulgaria! You’re going to conquer Europe as well," Bulgarian President Iliana Iotova wrote on Facebook before the final.The singer was certainly able to count on the support of the large Bulgarian diaspora.Since the borders opened in 1989, many Bulgarians have settled abroad.Nearly three million Bulgarian nationals live outside the country, according to the foreign ministry.The Balkan EU member has a population of 6.5 million.For the latest from SBS News, download our app and subscribe to our newsletter.
