Junior Eurovision 2024: Nikol Çabeli will represent Albania in Madrid!

Today it was Albania’s turn to select its entry for Junior Eurovision 2024. Just a while ago, Junior Fest 2024, the Albanian national selection for Junior Eurovision 2024, was concluded. Junior Fest served for another year as the country’s selection method for the children’s contest and was broadcasted live from RTSH Symphony Orchestra Hall, Tirana.

Hosted by Anxhelo Shkreli and Julian Hurdha and following the votes of a five-member jury exclusively, Nikol Çabeli was crowned as the winner with her song “Vallëzoj“.

Out of the entries submitted to the Albanian broadcaster, eighteen were short-listed by a RTSH jury. Hence, a total of eighteen acts advanced to the televised final of Junior Fest 2024 and were the following:

  • Ema Deda – “Hapat”
  • Kejsi Xheladini – “Dua të këndoj”
  • Eden Dami– “Ti më sjell fat”
  • Ami Kokurti – “Reale”
  • Elora Tahitri – “Me lajka”
  • Doris Canaj – “Jemi njësoj”
  • Arbëri Dajko – “Ëndrra në detin blu”
  • Gjon Gjipali – “S’ka problem”
  • Marina Daka – “Nuk do ndalem”
  • Nikol Çabeli – “Vallëzoj”
  • Klejda Bashota – “Një këngë për ty”
  • Hana Lamaj – “Medaljon”
  • Boris Metaj – “Se jemi ne”
  • Gedis Germani – “Flutura prej letre”
  • Kejt Hitaj – “Ëndërrojnë”
  • Armina Kajnozi – “Mama”
  • Kristel Xhafka – “Party”
  • David Kerri – “Thirrja e Tokës”

Following the jury’s voting, Nikol Çabeli emerged as the winner of Junior Fest 2024 and will therefore serve as the country’s representative in the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest that will take place in Madrid in November.
