Anecdote

She was the first gypsy woman to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1983 (Germany). She had planned to sing in a dress but the festival did not allow her to do so because it was so similar to the stage decoration. Remedios decided to go out to sing with another dress that she had used for her videoclip but she had no shoes and decided to go out barefoot to sing. Although she came last in the ranking, her groundbreaking performance was noticed by everyone.
