Albanian music icon, Parashqevi Simaku, shared her journey in the United States of America.
Extremely well-rounded and full of energy, Parashqevi Simaku told the show "Opinion" her story from her first steps in music to leaving the country.
The first time on stage, amidst emotions, he remembers it like this: " In early December 1981, they gave me a duet with Hysni Zela. A week before, we received an order that the festival would not take place because Mehmet Shehu committed suicide. It was a big drama, because we in Kavaja were not politicians. We only know Allah, that's how I grew up. I came out, unfortunately or fortunately, I had to double for Irma Libohova. The audience was also a little gloomy, with fear. They applauded Krajka's song, he was always modern. I came out second, I sang and they turned to greet me twice.
They didn't know me at all! Uncle Xhemali, my father's brother-in-law, his bride Antigoneja from Gjirokastra. She was married in a flowery dress and gave me her dress. The shoes, they took me to the wardrobe of the Opera and Ballet and I put on Edit Mihali's shiny shoes with newspapers. I was walking there before my name came out. Alida Hysku comes and tells me, "Hey, don't be afraid, you'll do very well." I was shaking, at that time Vaçe Zela was shaking too, Krajka told me. Irma asks Agim Krajka, he says why didn't you tell me that she's a very good singer."
