She was singing along to a song on the radio when she was 12 years old and realized that she could sing… since then she hasn’t stopped! It is truly her passion and an inherent part of who she is.
She will be covering the 2017 Eurovision song from Albania WORLD/BOTE in Afrikaans.
So, we have the first song for the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest. Albania have selected Lindita to represent them in Kiev in May next year. Lindita won the Festivali i Këngës 55 in Tirana with her moody and dramatic ballad, Botë (World). The song will probably be given a drastic makeover for the Eurovision next year.
The voting was a combination of expert jury and for the first time this year public voting. Botë was composed by Gerald Xhari and Klodian Qafoku
Lindita (full name Lindita Halimi) was born in Kosovo and she won the popular Top Fest competition in Albania in 2009. She as also participated in the last season of American Idol in 2016 and also made the top 10 candidates in the Albanian Idol tv show, Ethet.
