Day Holiday looking back

The last month of the summer of 1995 was not without its events either. Let’s see what people were talking about on holiday.

  • In London, a baby girl is born to Kosovo Albanian parents. Named Dua Lipa, she will go on to top the British charts some years later and win three Grammy Awards.
  • The world of technology enters a new era: Windows 95, Microsoft’s pioneering operating system, is released and transforms home computing.
  • South Africa celebrates its first National Women’s Day. The event has remained an important symbol of the struggle for women’s equality in the country ever since.
  • The wedding of Michael Schumacher and Corinna Betsch has Formula 1 fans in a frenzy, but the ceremony takes place in a small family circle, away from the press.
  • Los del Rio release the single “Macarena”, sparking a global dance craze. The catchy rhythm and easy-to-learn dance steps conquer the world in no time.

And what happened in September? We will tell you next month.
