Together with a Spanish TV journalist, the singer performed her
Eurovision Song 2021 Mata Hari at MediaFest Night Fever show.
'Well, the reason why I went to Madrid was to participate in the
MediaFest Night Fever TV show.
First, I would like to thank MediaFest Night Fever for inviting
me to this show. It was a great experience for me. Cristina Porta,
we started a fire! And thank you Spain for the warm welcome!'

Samira Efendi represented Azerbaijan at Eurovision 2021 with the
song Mata Hari took 20th place in the song contest. Speaking about
the meaning of the song, Efendi says that it is about female
power.
'It's necessary to talk to women about strong women and remind
them that despite the fact that we still live in a world full of
superstitions, women can do everything, and women's power cannot be
compared to anything. If you are looking for inspiration now, let
the stories of the strongest women in history become a source of
that energy and remind you that you can do it all and achieve
greater success'.
The song Mata Hari features ethnic motives based on traditional
Azerbaijani musical instruments such as zurna (trumpet) and naghara
(drums), as well as melodies from the Azerbaijani folk dance
yalli.
Besides that, for the first time in the Eurovision history,
Azerbaijan uses the Azerbaijani language, which concludes: 'Yalan
da mən, yanan da mən, yaman da mən', which means ' I am the lie,
the burning one, the relentless one'.
The singer thrilled Eurovision fans with a stunning performance
that featured a giant orb in the background.
At the end of the stage show, the orb was lifted into the air
where it exploded in a rain of golden sparkles, leaving the image
of Nazar, a symbol of fortune in Azerbaijan.
Designed by Rufat Ismayil, Efendi's costume was adorned with
precious and semi-precious stones; it combined Azerbaijan's
traditional elements but with a modern twist.
In 2022, Samira Efendi once again joined Eurovision stars as
part of the 2nd Het Grote Songfestival Fest, which brought together
Eurovision singers like Alexander Rybak, Neta Barzilai, Loreen,
Kalush Orchestra, Sam Ryder, TIX, Duncan Laurence, Helena
Paparizou, and many others.
Efendi, who represented Azerbaijan at the Eurovision Song
Contest, was enthusiastically greeted in Amsterdam by the song
contest participants and fans of her music.
