In just a few hours, the stage in Madrid will transform into a magical arena, where young talents from across Europe will represent their countries with their songs. Albania’s special representative in this prestigious event will be Nikol Çabeli.

At only 12 years old, Nikol is ready to take the stage at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024, driven by her passion and dreams for this momentous occasion. With a heart full of excitement, she has been preparing tirelessly for this opportunity.

During the rehearsal phase, Nikol has passed every test with flying colors, earning high praise for her performance. While the emotions of performing on such a big stage are daunting, she is fully prepared to shine.

“The stage is very large, and it gives me a special feeling, but once I do my first rehearsal, the emotions fade, and I feel more relaxed,” Nikol shares, her smile lighting up everyone around her.

Also part of this journey is screenwriter Tea Zani, who is encouraging Albanians worldwide to support Nikol by voting online.

“Nikol has done an amazing job in her rehearsals, and everyone is very happy with her performance. This is a huge achievement for her and for Junior Fest, as she represents Albania in this important European competition for young artists. Today, Nikol will compete with the other contestants, and we will see how she performs in front of the audience. Please vote for Albania—Nikol is number 03. Voting closes just before the festival starts at 18:00 on November 16th, and you can vote from anywhere in the world,” said Zani.

Nikol Çabeli also has a special message for all children and Albanians: to unite for a greater cause—protecting nature.

“Let’s unite to preserve our world and support one another,” she says, offering a message of hope and unity.

Her song “Vallëzoj”, with its beautiful melody and meaningful lyrics, carries an important message in line with this year’s theme—love for nature. It celebrates the magic of a flower blooming, in perfect harmony with the concepts of growth, development, and the creative expression of young artists.

How to Vote

On November 16th, the day of the Junior Fest Contest 2024, Albania will perform third, right after Italy and Estonia.
