At the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, Ukraine triumphed: Jamala beat the assembled competition of Europe with the song “1944” and lifted the coveted trophy. The song recalls the 1944 deportation of the Crimean Tatars. The ESC is the biggest music competition in the world and one of the longest-running television shows of all time; it has been held every single year since 1956.

The contest is far more than just music: it is a colourful festival of nations, full of flamboyant costumes, big emotions and fans cheering in front of their screens.
