Benny Cristo “omaga” Interview | Czech Republic Eurovision 2021

Benny Cristo will sing “omaga” at Eurovision 2021 for the Czech Republic. A few days after the release of his music video, he joined us for an English-language interview about his mission to deliver positive vibes. He tells us about how he developed the song and lyrics, his collab with producer Filip Vlček, how he approached this differently from his 2020 entry “Kemama” and why he’s been swiping on Tindr (he’s not looking for a hookup). Proud of his Angolan roots, he also recounts how he responded to racism by pushing himself to excel across music, snowboarding and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and how he’s advocating for animal rights as a committed vegan.
