Jamala's “1944” Wins Award
The song “1944” has become one of the iconic songs of the last 20 years.
Ukrainian singer Jamala said she received an award from YUNA, “20 Iconic Songs of 20 Years,” for her song “1944.” Jamala wrote about this on her Facebook page.
“I think choosing only 20 songs from 20 years — that is incredibly difficult. A great many important songs that people love were created during this period. The fact that “1944” made it onto this list is very important to me,” — the singer wrote in her post.
Jamala added that she will continue to try to create songs that will remain in the history of Ukrainian music.
Jamala won Eurovision in Sweden in 2016. She won by performing the song “1944” about the deportation of the Crimean Tatar people. After the singer's victory, the contest was held in Kyiv in 2017.
A new music video for a joint track by Jamala and hip-hop artist Alyona Alyona, “Zhali” was released earlier.
