🇦🇱 United by language: BESA tells her story for all of Albania

Interviews, Music, Society & Culture

Albania is known for its amazing music and culture and it’s no different in Eurovision land.

This year, the Albanian public chose BESA to fly the flag in Sweden, with a song that was originally in Albanian but was changed to English.

Michael caught up with her to chat about TiTAN, the story behind the song and what it means to be on the Eurovision stage.

🇫🇷 What’s Besa been up to in France?

💬 How important is language in Besa’s life?

🧮 What was it like to be the singing child of mathematicians?

You can see Besa perform TiTAN during Semi Final 2. Watch it on SBS:

• Live on Friday 10 May at 5am AEST
• Prime time on Saturday 11 May at 7:30pm AEST
