Azerbaijan has its artist for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. In Basel, the country will be represented by the band Mamagama, a dynamic trio known for their unique fusion of rock, pop and traditional Azerbaijani musical elements.

Formed in 2021, Mamagama has by now cemented itself as one of the most vibrant and innovative bands in Azerbaijan’s music scene. The band has captivated audiences at international music festivals and competitions, including an acclaimed performance at Albania’s Kënga Magjike Music Festival in 2022. 

Mamagama's distinct sound blends powerful modern influences with the deep-rooted musical heritage of Azerbaijan, creating an unforgettable experience for listeners worldwide.

The band is made up of Asaf on vocals, Huss on guitar and Arif on drums.

Ahead of May, Asaf is already feeling immensely proud about singing for Azerbaijan in May:

“It’s an honour for me to be representing Azerbaijan on such a big stage with our culture. I deeply love the land where I was born, and this is a chance to share its beauty and spirit with all of Europe. Our song, which will be revealed very soon, is a true representation of our country’s essence. We are incredibly excited and believe that our entry will leave a lasting impact.”

The first question on many people's lips will no doubt be "what does Mamagama mean?". Well, according to the band themselves, it's more than just a name - it's a whole vibe!

Mamagama suggests that we imagine the raw, unstoppable power of 'Mama'; the ultimate creator, the source of life, the force that nurtures the world when necessary. Now, we mix that with 'Gama'; the full spectrum of sound, the highest frequencies, the musical scales that stretch across time and space. 

Then what do we get? Mamagama! A band with a sound that they say is as deep and familiar as a mother’s heartbeat, yet as limitless and electric as a gamma wave.

Azerbaijan's song for Basel 2025 will be unveiled soon. But before then, Mamagama are already working tirelessly on their performance, promising to deliver something special for their existing fans and the new audience that will be introduced to them at the Eurovision Song Contest.
