Jamala

Jamala is an internationally acclaimed Ukrainian singer, songwriter, and actress who rose to fame after winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with her impassioned performance of "1944," a song that references the deportation of the Crimean Tatars by the Soviet Union during World War II. Born Susana Jamaladinova on August 27, 1983, in Osh, Kyrgyzstan, she later moved to Crimea, Ukraine, which greatly influenced her music and artistic expression. Jamala’s sound is distinctive—an eclectic blend of soul, jazz, opera, and electronic music, often infused with elements of her Crimean Tatar heritage.

Her repertoire continually evolves, reflecting her deep personal connection to her homeland and her commitment to social and political issues. This is evident in her recent releases, such as the emotional singles "Верше, мій верше" and "Коли закінчаться війни," which roughly translates to "When the Wars End," resonating with her anti-war stance. Jamala also experiments with different genres, as shown in her remix projects like "Жалі (Remixes)" and "Sevdim Seni (Slap House Remix)." With "QIRIM" and "ПОКЛИК," she continues to celebrate her roots while reaching out to a global audience. Her fusion of traditional motifs with contemporary soundscapes makes Jamala a shining example of modern Ukrainian music on the world stage. Her role as an actress, particularly noted in the song "Хай буде так, як хочеш ти" from the film "Я, "Побєда" і Берлін" ("I, 'Victory', and Berlin"), showcases her multifaceted talent and dedication to storytelling through art.
