“Eurovision 2021” National Selections season is kicking-off today. Traditionally Albanian “Festival i Kenges” is the first national final to take place.
Initially there were 26 acts chosen to compete in the 59th edition of Albanian music festival that determines the country’s representative at the “Eurovision Song Contest”. Unfortunetely, one of the contestants, three-time winner (Fest’28, ’31 & ’32) Manjola Nallbani won’t be able to take part as her COVID-19 test had came out positive.
Due to the pandemic there are some changes in format as well. This edition is going to be the first in the history that won’t include a live orchestra. The festival itself will be held on open-air arena for the first time in a long time. All the performanaces won’t be made live as all of them have already been recorded days ago with a pre-recorded instrumental.
You will be able to watch the live stream of this evening’s show here. All other sources are mentioned on our telegram channel.
