"Brazil" was a song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1991, performed in Serbo-Croatian/Serbian by Bebi Dol, representing Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, she was the last one artist to represent SFR Yugoslavia as a whole.


One point on ESC, huge hit in Europe

In 1991, Bebi Dol finally won the National Eurovision Contest, and went on to represent SFR Yugoslavia in Rome, with her song "Brazil". The singer would become the very last one artist to ever represent SFR Yugoslavia as a whole, which, later in the same year, then ceased to exist; the next year, in 1992, there were indeed 5 separate acts to represent the 5 newborn countries resulting from former Yugoslavia: Serbia/Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, and Macedonia. However, Bebi Dol only took one point for the evening, though "Brazil" definitely deserved a higher placing, which may in fact have been just a reaction to the political situation in Yugoslavia, where a furious civil war was being fought, because back home, instead, the song became a huge hit, and the copyright was sold to Italy, Greece and Benelux countries.
