Go_A is a Ukrainian electro-folk/folktronica band first formed in 2012, combining astonishing authentic Ukrainian folk and modern electronic dance beats.
They were set to represent Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with the song Solovey. Following the cancellation of the 2020 contest due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was announced the band will represent the country in 2021, this time with Shum (a shorter version of their hit Шум). They came 2nd in the public vote and 5th overall.
The band's name was made by combining the English word "Go" with the Greek letter "Alpha", which symbolizes the beginning of everything, and the band's name is symbolic for a "return to the roots". The band sings exclusively in the Ukrainian language.
