Shkodra became once again the cultural center of Albania.<\/p>\n
For three nights in a row, \u201cZafest\u201d brought together singers from all over the world, and not only.<\/p>\n
The 7th<\/sup> edition of the festival, organized by Albanian singer Vlashent Sata, started in the courtyard of the Inglizi Clock Tower and ended at the Castle of Rozafa.<\/p>\n The guests shared emotions they experienced during these magical art nights.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is very beautiful, especially this place. I am speechless. It\u2019s all fantastic. I have known Vlashent [Sata] for many years and he has always talked to me about his country. Now I am happy that I listened to him and came to discover his Albania, which is wonderful,\u201d said Swedish singer Isabel S\u00f6rling.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me it is the first time in Albania and I must say that this place, Shkodra, is wonderful and this scene is a real magic. Vlashent [Sata] contacted me and we connected immediately, a chemistry that seemed as if we had known each other for a long time. I can say that it is the start of a friendship. The audience response was fantastic and to see people who don\u2019t speak your language but sing along with you is fantastic. An experience I want to repeat,\u201d shared Italian singer, songwriter, rapper and producer, Davide Shorty.<\/p>\n The founder and creator of \u201cZafest\u201d, Vlashent Sata, who also served as the artistic director, said that once again, the festival achieved its goal.<\/p>\n \u201cIt took a lot of effort to succeed and I am very happy and glad that we achieved the result. We want to maintain the [high] level, preserve the good and the beautiful, and I am glad that people enjoyed and embraced it, and that it has been a good chance for them and for us.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cZafest\u201d was made possible the support of the Ministry of Culture, the European Union and the French, Italian and Swedish embassies to Albania.<\/p>\n
