The Latvian Ambassador Gints Jegermanis, a lovely man and Eurovision fan as well, welcomed once again the Latvian delegation into his house for a cosy mingle with friends of the Embassy.
We met him and his family back in 2012 in Copenhagen, when Latvia was competing in Eurovision in Malmö. At that time he was the Latvian ambassador in Denmark.
It was great to meet him again and like last time the evening's event started in the backyard with an intimate concert with bothJusts and Aminata. Afterwards, the embassy had arranged a Swedish/Latvian "Fika" with sweet specialities from Latvia.
Fun fact: This is the place where the Latvian group Brainstorm also performed back in 2000. We were told it's considered "holy ground" for the Latvians, since Brainstorm not only started the Latvian journey within the Eurovision SongConetst , but also came in in 3rd.
Two years later Latvia won the contest with Marie N.
