In an evening where the anxiety and magic of the race were vulnerable in the air, Albania exploded with all its artistic power on the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 scene, which this year takes place in Basel, Switzerland. The electronic band, with the song « Zjerm », electrified the atmosphere and grabbed the hearts of the public with a performance that was more than music, it was a manifestation of the Albanian identity and spirit.
Shkodra of music, of pentagram masters, poets and song, returns with another awakening of her creative spirit, with another claim to be on top. It proves to the world that it is made by that fire that ignites « boiling »: the beautiful, the Majesty, the magic, the art of song, the blessing of voice and harmony, verses and performance.
It was this magic brought by the Beatrice pair Gjergji and Kole Laca, founder of the Shkodra electronic group, and « Zjerm » who turned the Basel evening into a memorable night for all Albanians. Eager for the fire of national feeling, they showed that art and beautiful are the most worthy ambassadors of our aspirations, and that these must be supported with solidarity and emotion. Thanks to this support and extraordinary presentation, Albania provided its place in the big Eurovision Song Contest 2025 final.
Inaccurate by light and rhythm, « Zjerm » brought not only a melody but a bold artistic vision: a clash between antiquity and modern, where Albanian ethnic rhythms were masterfully intertwined with the pulsating contemporary electronic music. This symbiosis created a new universe of sounds that aroused emotion, amazement and pride.
The public’s reaction was immediate and ardent. The arena exploded in applause, while social networks were filled with enthusiastic comments from all over Europe. Many described this interpretation as one of the most original and memorable evening, ranking Albania among the favorites for this year’s trophy.
This success is not just a musical achievement. It is an act of representing a culture that knows how to preserve the roots and, at the same time, dare at the rhythms of the time. « Signature » is a reflection of the Albanian spirit: irresistible, deep and fearless.
On Saturday, May 17, Albania will climb the Great Final, among the 26 racing states, with a voice that speaks not only Albanian but also the universal language of feeling and art.
« Zjerm » is a call for spiritual renewal, a reflection on identity, and an appeal for unity and solidarity, today and forever, because we need one another, and through this fulfillment we create today’s worthy of ourselves and others. It carries a powerful energy, combining the Albanian tradition with universal messages and modern sounds, a harmonization that permeates all this spooky disclosure as a light.
The interpretation remains open to the emotions and experiences of every listener, which makes this song a complex and sensitive artwork, a need for communication and a balm for healing.
Yes, this song with all its components overturned prejudices and dismantled any unhealthy logic that denies the public’s intuition and taste. This time it was a bold confrontation of art with the public, and everyone won: it gained values, creativity, vocal power, music and arrangement; The refined taste, the unification of tradition with the modern, won. He won the electronic Shkodra, won « Zjerm ».
The warmth brought to every heart, it threw into every soul, it shook light into every mind, and every experience of every experience.
