The third night of Fest 62 reached its pinnacle, weaving together the most beautiful Albanian music from over the years on the festival’s stages. It also featured some of the most popular Eurosong songs that have made history at this event.

The intermingling of young voices participating in Fest 62 with singers from an older generation conveyed the message of preserving and perpetuating timeless songs. This naturally evoked emotions and stirred nostalgia among the audience.

Moreover, some of the songs performed on the enchanting stage of Fest 62 served as tributes to personalities who composed remarkable festival songs, as well as their lyricists, who are no longer with us today.

Special guests on this evening were sisters Libohova, Mefarete Laze, Eugent Bushpepa, Sidrit Bejleri, Eneda Tarifa, Ilir Shaqiri, Elton Deda, Edmond Mancaku, Jehona Sopi.

Also, some of the Eurovision songs performed as duets among the participating artists at the festival were: “Insieme,” “Arcade,” “Volare,” “Satellite,” “Lordi-Hard Rock Hallelujah,” “Fairytale,” “Zitti e buoni,” and more.

The rhythm, emotions, impressive performances, and poignant messages advocating for the protection of the Earth stood as some of the main pillars upon which the third night of the Festival was built.

Each song was performed live alongside the Albanian Radio Television Orchestra, directed by esteemed figures in the realms of conducting, orchestration, and composition, such as Jetmir Barbullushi, Markeljan Kapedani, Alfred Kaçinari, Fridi Kraja, Deniola Kuraja, Oleg Arapi among others.

During the third night of the Festival, the jury also finalized their selection of the young voices who will advance to the grand finale on the fourth night. This ultimate event will determine the winning song of Fest 62, along with the entry that will represent Albania at Eurovision.
