Mamagama:
Mamagama is an Azerbaijani band consisting of Allahverdi Gumbatli, Bahruz Afandiyev, and Asaf (Safael) Mishiyev. The band was formed after Allahverdi and Bahruz’s previous band disbanded following seven years of activity, leaving them feeling disappointed and depressed. After an extensive search for a lead vocalist to complete the lineup, they met Safael and chose him as the band’s frontman. The band released the song “As It Was” in 2022, collaborating with Eurovision 2011 winner, Eldar Gasimov. In 2023, their song “River” reached the final selection stage of the committee choosing the song for Eurovision 2023.
The band name is composed of two words: Mama – the ultimate creator, the source of life, the force that nurtures the world. Gama – the full spectrum of sound, the highest frequencies, the musical scales that stretch across time and space.
The band is one of the most energetic and original bands on Azerbaijan’s music scene. The band has wowed audiences at music festivals and contests, including a winning performance at Albania’s Eurovision national selection in 2022 with the song “Dreamer.”
“Run with U”:
The song “Run with U” opens with the description of a powerful and thrilling experience in which the rhythm pulls the singer into the surrounding sensations and energies. The dialogue between the words points to an electric and exciting nature of the encounter, where every glance and every movement evoke strong emotions that cannot be resisted. The chorus invites to leave behind the fears and to step into the dim light, playing with the rules until they become right, while the heartbeat takes over the body and soul.
Continuing, the song describes how the night is young and the beat is tight, and there is something in the air that makes the singer fall in love. The descriptions convey a feeling of renewal and truthfulness in every laugh and every touch, and focusing on the present moment leads to an inescapable state. The song ends with a repeated invitation to escape together, regardless of what happens tonight, with the goal to run together, focusing on the shared experience and the present moment.
Lyrics of “Run with U”:
Rhythm pulls me out
Don’t know where to start
You electrify
Never felt so high
Every glance you’re giving
Every move, I’m feeling
I cannot resist
Pure in every twist
Shall we dim the lights?
Leave our fears behind
Play wrong till it’s right
Give it all tonight
Heartbeat takes control
Moves my body and soul
Just one look at me
And I can’t stand the heat
Shadows in the neon light
The night is young, the beat is tight
Something in the air that makes me fall for you
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
No matter what you do tonight
I wanna run with you
I wanna run with you
No matter what you do tonight
I wanna run with you
I wanna run with you
(Running)
(With me)
(Running)
(Let’s go)
Shooting to the stars
Can’t get enough, so far
You made me feel brand new
Never felt this true
Every laugh you’re giving
Every touch I’m living
I can’t pull away
Caught up in the play
Shall we dim the lights?
Leave our fears behind
Play wrong till it’ѕ right
Give it all
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
No matter what you do tonight
I wanna run with you
I wanna run with you
No matter what you do tonight
I wanna run with you
I wannа run with you
