The first national final of the 2019 season is already upon us, and once more it’s an early Christmas present from Albania. Tonight, 14 acts will compete in Festivali i Kënges 57, with the winner being given the honour of representing Albania in Tel Aviv!
The fourteen acts taking part in tonight’s show are;
- Gjergj Leka – Një ditë tjetër

- Klint Çollaku – Me jetë
- Alar Band – Dashuria nuk mjafton
