Albania: Alis to Perform “Nân” at Eurovision

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Albania's Eurovision 2026: Alis will perform "Nân" on the Eurovision 2026 stage. Listen to the song. Screenshot: RTSH "Nân" (in English: "Mother") is the name of the song that will be performed by the singer Alis, who will represent Albania at Eurovision 2026 to be held in Vienna, Austria, on May 12th, 14th, and 16th. The song was written by Desara Gjini and composed by the singer himself. This is the first Eurovision entry for both composers. The selected song was performed in the national selection in Albanian, but toward Eurovision, the singer will be given the option to perform it in another language. However, it is worth noting that Albania generally finds more success at Eurovision with songs in Albanian, whereas it often fails to qualify for the final when translating its entries into English. The song's current length exceeds three minutes (as is customary for the festival); therefore, a "revamp" involving editing and shortening will be required...
