About his Armenian roots, Jamala says “parents of my mother are of Nagorno-Karabakh where my grandparents were forced to emigrate to Central Asia. My grandfather was then 5 years old and his family was exiled in a gulag in Kyrgyzstan. The mother of my grandfather was close to my beloved composer Aram Khachatryan. In my youth one of my important meetings was with the Armenian composer Guenady Astsatourian who enjoyed a good reputation in the Crimea. He taught me the basics of jazz (…) I became member of the family, I went with them to the Armenian parties … I also had the chance to know Djivan Gasparyan I admire . Just a few months I sang with legendary composer Michel Legrand. My close friend, Armen Kostantian is the duduk player of my song “1944”. It two years ago I gave a concert in Yerevan. When the plane landed in Armenia, I felt at once that I was home. I went to Echmiadzin, the pagan temple of Garni, Keghart, Dzargatsor with its view of the plain of Ararat, Lake Sevan with Sevanavank … I want to make me a lot again in Armenia. “Krikor Amirzayan

His real name Sousanna Jamaladinova -from Tatar Crimean father and mother arménienne-, Jamala which featured his song “1944”, a title that recalls the deportation of 250,000 Crimean Tatars by Stalin during the Second World War, has become before five other candidates after the Ukrainian national competition to determine the Ukrainian representative for Eurovision 2016. More than 300 000 viewers -a Record- participated in the vote at the Ukrainian television.

Jamala could also mention the deportation of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in 1915, and genocide. But the theme of the Crimea -Resumption by the Russia-Ukraine is very promising. And this is perhaps one of the essential factors that prompted the Ukrainian viewer to vote for Jamala. Recall that it was Iveta Mukuchyan with his song “LoveWave” will represent Armenia at Eurovision 2016. She will take part in the first semi-final on 10 May in Stockholm.
