Albania’s Eurovision 2021 representative Anxhela Peristeri recently performed her entry “Karma” on Telebingo Shqiptare.

Anxhela Peristeri won the 59th edition of Festivali i Kรซngรซs and therefore got the right to represent Albania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021. The winning entry “Karma” will be sung in Albanian in Rotterdam. The song is composed by Kledi Bahiti and the lyrics are written by Olti Curri.

Albania at the Eurovision Song Contest

Albania debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest back in 2004 and has participated every year since. Anjeza Shahini was the first to fly the countryโ€™s flag at the contest with her song “The Image of You“. She finished in 7th place with 106 points.ย 

Over the years, Albania qualified for the final on 8 occasions. So far, their best result is Rona Nishliuโ€™s 5th place achieved in Baku in 2012 with her iconic ballad “Suus“.ย 

Arilena Ara was set to represent Albania in 2020 with the song “Fall From the Sky” before the contest was cancelled due the COVID-19 pandemic. Arilena didn’t return to Festivali i Kรซngรซs to get another chance at representing the country this year.

I started watching Eurovision back in 2006, when I was only 10 and couldn't stay up to see Lordi winning. I attended my first contest in 2013 in Malmรถ. I'm studying journalism and I love music โ€” you will probably never see me without my headphones on.
