Bulgaria has won the 70th Eurovision song contest with singer Dara’s party anthem “Bangaranga.” Dara beat 24 other competitors during Saturday’s grand final in Vienna. The song’s infectious beats and tightly choreographed dance routine was a hit with both viewers and national juries. It’s Bulgaria’s first-ever Eurovision victory.
