Jamala to perform three songs during Eurovision 2017 in Kyiv

Jamala will perform two songs during the first semi-final and present the new song in the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kyiv.

Ukrinform learnt this from the ESC press service.

"The Eurovision Song Contest 2017 aims to show the diversity of Ukraine – the country with rich traditions and modern development. The organizers elaborate a unique creative concept of the show every year. The first semi-final in Ukraine will start with a video demonstration of the beauty and uniqueness of the Ukrainian folk costume. To reveal the concept of diversity, we also invited a modern Ukrainian multiartist MONATIK to perform. Jamala will be the headliner of the first semi-final," said competition producer of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 Christer Bjorkman.

Today, May 9, Jamala will perform a symphonic version of the song 1944 and the song Lured, created in collaboration with the DakhaBrakha ethno-chaos band.
