Hari Mata Hari - Lejla - Bosnia and Herzegovina - Grand Final - Eurovision 2006

We are already counting down to the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest in Baku. We do that by looking back to recent editions of Europe's favorite TV show. This time we go to 2006, when the contest was held in Athens, Greece

Hari Mata Hari represented Bosnia & Herzegovina in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest with the song 'Lejla'. He ended in third position in the grand final in Athens.

Holy molly, I've found it. It was stuck in my head for 16 years. Sat down and searched year by year all the Balkan country entries until I found it. Masterpiece!

Wonderful when you don't understand a word and still understand everything

The most beautiful song in Eurovision history

[anja]

Ovo je za mene najlepša pesma na svetu. Vanvremenska, satkana od nostalgije, tako nežna - kao da miluje svakim tonom, a opet duboka i osećajna. Naravno, uz maestralnu interpretaciju Hari Mata Harija. Joksimovićevo remek delo.

Iako je naša Molitva pobedila, meni će Lejla uvek ostati najlepša pesma na Evroviziji ikada. Hari je jedan od najboljih i mojih omiljenih pevača sa ovih prostora. Emotivno, muzikalno, savršeno. Nadam se da će se nekad u budućnosti pojaviti ponovo nešto ovako lepo. Jedan je Hari♥

I was in the hall that year... These 3 minutes were from another world, and the crowd energy and response shook the entire arena... What a day to be a proud Bosnian!

Jedna od najlepših pesama na evroviziji. Pozdrav iz Srbije za naše drage i lepe komšije iz Bosne koju beskrajno volim. Samo mi iz Balkana mozemo imati ovako divne pesme ❤

Hari pevačina! Velika je šteta što nisu osvojili prvo mesto te godine, bili su najbolji.

One of the best performances in Eurovision history. My only daughter's name is Layla. In 2006, my Leila was only a year old, now she is a 17 year old beauty ♥️
