When singers take to the stage in the Italian city of Turin on Saturday night, Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra seems likely to ride a tide of popular goodwill to win the Eurovision Song Contest.
“Stefania,” performed in Ukrainian by Kalush Orchestra, blends rap with traditional folk music and is an homage to vocalist Oleh Psiuk’s mother.
Based on Ukraine’s situation following Russia’s invasion in February, bookies have anointed it the obvious favourite for the annual tournament, which usually gets a television viewership of close to 200 million.
“I’d like to see Kalush Orchestra win, but not because of the conflict,” said Maryna Utkina, who was in Turin for the semi-finals this week.
