Wikipedia
A mamo or hoohoo is a pair of species of extinct birds. Together with the ʻIʻiwi they make up the genus Drepanis. These nectarivorous finches were endemic to Hawaii but are now extinct.
The Hawaiian name may be related to the name of the ōō ( Moho nobilis), a bird with a similar appearance. Another name for the mamo was ōō-nuku-umu, meaning "ōō with the sucking beak".
Two species are known.
"Mamo" ( Ukrainian Cyrillic: Мамо; English translation: "Mum"; Russian translation: Мама (Mama)) is a song by Ukrainian singer Anastasia Prikhodko. It is best known as Russia's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009, held in the Russian capital of Moscow. The song is performed in both Russian and Ukrainian, and was composed by Konstantin Meladze and Diana Golde. The song was first submitted (in the original full Ukrainian variant) for the Ukrainian preselection for that year, but failed to qualify, winning afterwards the Russian preselection.
As Russia hosted the contest this year, the song automatically competed in the final on 16 May 2009. It finished 11th with 91 points.
