Lisa
I was obsessed with FIINKA’s ‘Dovbush’ entry in 2023, so I was delighted that she won this years’ wildcard into Vidbir. I firmly believe ‘Kultura’ is strong enough that it should have been selected from the start! Give me a Ukrainian flute and I’m sold! The blend of folk, rap and modern production has become a staple of the best Vidbir entries and this is no exception.

It’s catchy and danceable. I was a big fan of her performance in 2023. This song checks all the boxes Ukraine needs to qualify—it’s in Ukrainian, has hints of rap, and is memorable.
