Most songs influenced by fights against the Turks (or the fight for independence). In this case here, a song for Bajram Curri.

We need some women here, they are definitely more hip. :) Though for this rarity, no YouTube clips.

This would be Albanian pop music, the typical cheap Balkan style. :)

Balkan pop :D Sounds (production-wise) like the Turkish (traditional) pop songs. Thanks for sharing. I agree we need more women.

Hope you don't mind if I cover folk songs rather than pop :)

The music is quite similar, even Serbian music sounds like Albanian/Turkish whatever. We just do not say that officially. It is logical because of mutual influence. Listen to Slovenian music, it sounds like ufta-ufta from Austria or Bavaria. :)

I do not mind folk songs. I will post anyway more of that and the example above is folk even though a bit trendy, ever heard of Turbo Folk? :)
