  • With a week to go for the next edition of Festivali i Kenges the number of contestants falls to 25 as Manjola Nallbani will not take part eventually. 

    One month earlier the Albanian act was found Covid-19 positive and due to this she wasn't able to keep up with the festival's preparations and attend the reharsals. Therefore she cannot complete in the upcoming music event. 

    RTSH has confirmed to ESCBubble that due to the virus, she will not compete eventually in this year’s edition Festivali i Kenges, which means that the competition will run with 25 contestants. Manjola was set to compete with the song “Ora e jetës”, penned by Eriona Rushiti.
