Gaitana

Gaita-Lurdes Klaverivna Essami, known professionally as Gaitana, is a Ukrainian singer and songwriter. Essami's style of pop music has been described as containing elements of jazz, funk, soul, and folk. She represented Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, performing the song "Be My Guest" and placing 15th in the final. Essami was born in Kiev to a Ukrainian mother, Tatiana Petrova, and a father, Klaver Essami, from the Republic of the Congo. When she was an infant, the family left Ukraine and moved to her father's hometown of Brazzaville. They lived in the Republic of the Congo for five years, until Essami and her mother returned to Ukraine in 1985. Due to living most of her early childhood in the Republic of the Congo, Essami could only speak French and Lingala upon returning to Ukraine, although she later became fluent in Ukrainian and Russian as well. Essami's estranged father remained in Brazzaville, where he owned a transportation business. Essami began her professional music career in 2003, releasing her debut studio album O tebe. She has gone on to release seven other albums in her career: Slidom za toboyu (2005), Kapli dozhdya (2007), Kukabarra (2008), Taynyye zhelaniya (2008), Tolko segodnya (2010), Viva, Europe! (2012), and Voodooman (2014). Her songs are recorded in Russian, Ukrainian, or English. Following the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States in 2009, Essami performed at a special inauguration ball in his honor in Kiev. In January 2012, Essami was selected to compete in Evrobachennya 2012, the Ukrainian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012. She competed with the song "Be My Guest". Essami went on to win the competition, placing first with the professional jury and second with the Ukrainian public. Following her win, Essami was the victim of racist comments by members of the far-right in Ukraine. Yuriy Syrotyuk, a high-ranking member of the nationalist Svoboda political party, stated that Essami's selection as the Ukrainian representative would hinder Ukraine's ability to join the European Union, as she is portraying the country as if they are "of a different continent". Essami responded to the comments by stating that Ukraine was her beloved motherland, and that non-white Ukrainians should not feel like they have to leave the country to be accepted. Nevertheless, Essami continued as the Ukrainian representative to the contest in Baku, becoming the first Afro-Ukrainian to represent Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest. She competed in the second semi-final on 24 May 2012, where she placed eighth and qualified to the final. Afterwards, she placed 15th in the final held on 26 May, scoring a total of 65 points.

The song she will sing in Brazzaville will be
