Jamala, the iconic Ukrainian singer, rose to prominence following her Eurovision win in 2016 with '1944,' a song that encapsulates the struggles of the Crimean Tatars and Ukraine's history. In a revealing interview, she shares her family's experiences of trauma and resilience, illustrating how her childhood memories, filled with joy but shadowed by loss, influence her artistry. As war continues to impact Ukraine, Jamala emphasizes music's role in fostering empathy and hope, using her platform to inspire solidarity and action for peace.
I think that writing a book or making a movie about my entire family, about my family, would be such a drama. Despite this, my childhood and my family were very happy.
As Ukraine faces relentless aggression, Jamala channels her roots into her music, forging a powerful connection between its ancestral legacy and its current reality.
