Csemer boglarka biography of donald

People, words, buildings, stories, and moods—all of these and more have contributed to creating the Budapest we know today over the past 150 years. To mark the anniversary, we asked people who are connected to the capital by a thousand (or at least a hundred and fifty) threads about the past and future of Budapest and their personal connection to the city.

Boggie (Boglárka Csemer), singer

What would you have been in Budapest 150 years ago?

I might have been a teacher or a governess, but I could also have been a wet nurse and looked after the masters’ babies. But more likely the first version.

The differences in geography, history, and development still create tangible contrasts between Buda and Pest. What do you like about both?

I am born and bred in Pest, and I think that the Pest side is more representative of reality and of society as a whole. Buda really appeals to me, with its zigzagging streets and hilly location. Whenever I visit Buda, I always feel a bit like a tourist. ☺ I’d love to live on that side of the city one day, but whenever I go there, I always see a completely different side of Budapest, Hungary, and society. I experience this every single time. The Pest side has everything commercial, cultural, and administrative. I think this duality in our capital is very exciting.

What are the best and worst things about Budapest?

I’m lucky because I’ve been to so many big cities, so every time I get to see Budapest, I’m amazed at its beautiful location. The Danube is monumental. Walking along the Chain Bridge, you are greeted by a spectacle that few cities can match. So the best thing is the location. By the way, our public transport network is pretty cool, even if we don’t have ten metro lines. The tram and the trolleybus networks are outstanding in Europe, and they’re environmentally friendly.

The worst thing, I think, is also related to the view. Walk along the boulevard and you

After three heats and two semifinals rounds, today was the crucial moment for the final of A Dal 2015, the TV show that for the fourth year in a row was used as the mechanism for the choice of the Hungarian participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. The Big winner of the night was Boggie with the song Wars for nothing.

Three male, three female singers and two bands were the eight finalists, who managed to get to the final to claim the coveted ticket to represent the central European country in this year’s Eurovision in Vienna.

The songs: 

• Ádám Szabó – Give me your love

He sounded impassioned like he did in his semifinal. A very emotional ballad with very good singing skills. A song that in the previous rounds and the jury and public both loved. Another ballad in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest? Why not, if it is a good one like this. A strong contestant I think. The only negative thing is that this is a more "radio" song than one you’d expect to see in a contest like Eurovision.

• Boglárka "Boggie" Csemer – Wars for nothing

Boggie as is more known in Hungary tells in her interviews that the political situation in Ukraine inspired her and wrote this song. A very slow and heart rending performance of a song that should melt the hearts of many people. It’s almost as good as it was in the semi final and has the same backing screen with all the things we fight against slowly going through the screen.  She wears a blue dress this time. If you can have a good old fashioned protest song, this’ll be it. It will surely gets votes for older ages. Boggie and her back vocalists connect with everyone. This song is the second favourite to win today’s A Dal final. 

• Zoltán Mujahid – Beside you

Mujahid sings this song really well and for the first time he doesn’t wea

ESC+Plus has had an exclusive talk with the Hungarian representative for Eurovision 2015 Boggie. She will sing “Wars for Nothing” after winning “A Dal” 2015.

Check out what she has told us below:

ESC+Plus: Hello Boggie! Congratulations on having won the Hungarian national selection for Eurovision 2015 and thanks for giving us the chance to have a little talk with you.

“A Dal 2015” was a large process, how did you experience the whole contest? What do you think it was the most special moment there?

I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a big adventure for me and also a challenge. I’ve never done a live TV show before and it was a good experience.

The most special moment for me was when I won the competition. Emotionally I was so touched and I feel so blessed. I covered my face with my hands and I tried to not cry.

E+: What was the first thing that came to your mind when you realized you had won the contest? What does representing Hungary at Eurovision mean for you?

I was so sensitive. It wasn’t easy to keep myself together because I almost cried. I wish I could have hugged my vocalists and my team.:-)

Eurovision is the perfect opportunity for different cultures, different nations to meet. We can exchange ideas, musical inspirations and probably we can also get to know each other’s cultures better. In my career, participating in Eurovision 2015 was a logical step after Parfüm. This is the perfect place to reach more people with my music.

E+: Can you tell us what your song is about? What’s the story behind the lyrics?

Actually my song was written for my second album “All is One is All”, which was just released in October 2014, not for the Song Contest. We picked “Wars for Nothing” from among our other songs. I wanted to be represented with an English song and a song with an important message.

My song is a hymnic ballad pleading for peace which was created by three com
