Listen to 'Yucata' from Ingrid Peters

Ingrid Peters - Yucata

Ingrid Peters represented Germany in 1986 at the Eurovision Song Contest in Bergen with the song 'Über die Brücke geh'n'. Her song reached 8th place in the Grand Final. Do you remember her song?

Since her participation she released several albums and she works as radio presenter.

She released her latest album 'Lass es rocken' two years ago. This album includes 14 tracks. Now she released her new radio single called 'Yucata'.

Yucata is a fancy word to express a feeling of life, similar to Schubidubidu. There is no existing word which describes this feeling.

"There is a fantastic musician close to me, who I met as I collaborated with a french singer called Marcel Agam. His name is Laurent Kremer..." Ingrid said.

"Laurent asked me to record a song with him . The song is about Africa (I already sang a song called Africa) and he thought I could like it. And - as you can hear - I liked his song. Laurent had the idea for the lyrics and I tried to transfer the lyrics into German language. Laurent invited me to his concerts and we premiered the song. After the positive reactions from the audience it was clear, that this song should be a part of my album." she continued.

Beginning of July Ingrid was part of the 'Bezaubernde Diven' (Charming Divas) to perform in Cologne at the Christipher Street Day. Unfortunately the weather was very rainy in the evening, so the organizers had to stop the event. Next week WDR 4 (German radio broadcaster) will record the show again in Cologne. You have the chance to see Ingrid performing live on stage with other German 'Divas' like Angelika Milster, Mary Roos (she also represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest), Ute Freudenberg, Isabel Varell and Sophie Russel. A part of the show will be a Eurovision medley - so don't miss the chance to watch the live stream!
