Festivali i Këngës winners Elsa Lila and Kejsi Tola are among the 31 acts confirmed for FiK 62 — Albania’s national selection for Eurovision 2024.
Broadcaster RTSH shared the full list on Tuesday.
Elsa, who won last year’s festival, will sing a song called “Mars” (March). Many fans think the song will speak to her arrest in Italy in March 2022.
She was held under suspicion of criminal activities related to narcotics, but the charges were later dropped. Her perseverance and anger could make for another truly emotional entry.
Meanwhile Kejsi, who participated at Eurovision 2009 in Moscow, will sing “Vallezoj me Dritën” (Dance with the Light). She did that herself with singing her Eurovision banger “Carry Me In Your Dreams,” which placed 17th at Eurovision.
Songs will NOT be published prior to the shows. You’ll get to experience the magic live alongside Albanian viewers this December.
