/0 Comments/in , , /by

After the revamped version of her FiK’s televoting winning entry was released, Besa Kokëdhima began her preparations for Malmö.

Besa was a guest in Ermal Peci’s nightshow E Diela Jone, where she had the chance to talk about her stage performance in Malmö and the choice of an international artistic team that will support her while being hosted on an RTSH’s program. As stated by Besa Kokëdhima:

I chose a team with many people from different countries so that I wouldn’t have any differences with other countries. The stage performance is done. The team is the one that made Sweden’s ‘Heroes’ as well as Finland’s performance (“Cha Cha Cha”). I will not be alone, I will be with some dancers who are the best in the Nordic countries. It is a performance that connects what will happen on stage with the LED screens.
