Gaitana – The Best UA

“You have been hunting me for a long time, I'm in your thoughts, I'm your captive, Soon you will hear from me: ‘Know, I am already yours’.” © Gaitana, song “Shaleniy” (Go Wild)

Gaitana is a Ukrainian singer of Congolese descent, a pop diva, and the author of unforgettable hits. Gaitana opened up a new perspective on Ukrainian-language music, making it sound extraordinary and refined. Her bold experiments with electronic sound combined with elements of jazz, blues, and folk music, delivered with her multifaceted Afro-Ukrainian voice, lyrical and romantic texts, and wild dancing, caused a real sensation and made her one of the symbols of pop music in the 2000s. The compilation titled The Best UA collects all the singer's best Ukrainian-language songs, featuring sensual and seductive rhythms, fiery dances, and the track that made us all go wild.

The musical career of Gaitana (Gaitana-Lourdes Essami) soared in the early 2000s. Since the release of her debut album in 2003, she has established herself as an artist with powerful vocals and an unconventional approach to arrangements.

This collection is a journey through years of creativity: from the iconic composition "Slidom za Toboyu" (Following You) and the driving "Shaleniy" (Go Wild), to the life-affirming "Sontse v Tobi" (The Sun in You). It is an album about passion, love, and inner light, demonstrating the singer's evolution.
