Françesk Radi, who returns to Festivali i Këngës as a singer after 7 years, has in an interview with Shekulli revealed that the title of his song will be Jetës i këndova (I sang it to life), and not Kemi dasem`o (We have a wedding'oh). The song is about a Romani wedding; the lyrics are written by Agim Doçi, while Françesk has written the melody himself.

Some random news

 

In these weeks there have been more news about Albanian National final stars, which would not have had enough content to fill a whole article alone, therefore they are summed up in this little sort of 'Newsflash'.

Helena Paparizou:

The Greek winner of the ESC 2005 is coming to the Qemal Stafa Stadium in Albania on Saturday. In Tirana she will hold a concert alongside other famous Musicians from Albania, Macedonia and Kosovo. The entrance costs a bit more than 3 €, which makes more than clear that sponsors pay this concert mostly. In this case mostly Greek companies in Albania.

Besa Kokëdhima:
Many news from the FiK contestant in for ESC '09. She is going to be part of the Helena Paparizou concert in Tirana on Saturday, singing 3 songs of her repertoire. One of the songs she will present though is going to be the most recently released "Nuk jam ajo" (I'm not her), a duet with Jehona Sopi (Video on the right).
We have managed to contact Besa Kokëdhima and ask her about a studio version of her '09 FiK song "Ajër", after two visitors asked us to do so. She replied that actually there does not exist a studio version of "Ajër" but that she finds it a good idea to produce one and will do so. A little achievement from our side (yay).

Aida Ndoci Dyrrah:

Aida, Albanian representative in 2007 and Ex-wife of Frederik Ndoci has also released a new solo song with video. The song is called "Ah, ah... Ti" and a has some certain orientalic touch. Enjoy the video on the left.

  

 

 

Olta Boka: 

And last but not least, as promised we finally found and upload a Studio Version of "Tak Tak ja bën tek porta" by Olta and his dad exclusevily for you here.

ENJOY! :D
