Thirteen days after Fest 63 concluded, the winners, “Shkodra Elektronike,” shared a heartfelt message of gratitude on social media, expressing their deep appreciation for the recognition from the audience and the warm reception of their song “Zjerm” (Fire).

The group described these 13 days as “incredible, filled with tears of joy, embraces, praise, and an outpouring of love from the public“.

“‘Zjerm,’ our little song, is now spreading everywhere Albanians are, and even beyond,” wrote artists Beatriçe Gjergji and Kolë Laca.

Shkodra Elektronike also extended their thanks to those who brought the magic of the festival to life, beginning with Festival Director and RTSH Deputy Director Aurora Polo, Artistic Director Elhaida Dani, the RTSH Orchestra, and collaborators Alfred Kaçinari and Shpëtim Saraçi. They also acknowledged Elton Deda, who led the artistic band, author Zefina Hasani, director Redi Treni, and hosting duo Enkel Demi and Ornela Bregu.

The winners of Fest 63 concluded their post with an encouraging message to young musicians to keep dreaming, writing, and not be afraid to showcase their talents. They also urged them to participate in the Albanian Song Festival, which professionally values every artist involved.

“Shkodra Elektronike” will represent Albania at Eurovision 2025, set to take place this year in Basel, Switzerland.

The 63rd edition of the Albanian Song Festival on Albanian Radio and Television Albania (RTSH) left a lasting impact, raising expectations for the upcoming edition.
