Aminata Savadogo, who represented Latvia at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, is one of the musicians partaking in the Eurovision Songwriting Camp 2016.

The Eurovision Songwriting Camp in the Netherlands is an initiative of DWB Music LTD in co-operation with TCC Studios, and sponsored by Amphion Loudpeakers ltd. Singers and songwriters come together to make music, write songs and discuss the art of creating songs, with the potential of being a Eurovision hit.

Many countries are represented, and the first edition of the Eurovision Songwriting Camp in 2015 actually delivered a song that made it to the stage at the ESC 2016 in Stockholm: Icebreaker, performed by Agnete for Norway.

This year, one of the participants of the camp is Latvian singer-songwriter Aminata. Aminata has a lot of Eurovision-experience to share, as she represented Latvia at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria, with the song Love injected, which reached a respectable 6th place in the Grand Final with 186 points.

Moreover, the Latvian artist wrote the song Heartbeat for Justs Sirmais who represented Latvia at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm, Sweden, and placed 15th in the Grand Final, with 132 points.
