  The victory of Ermal Meta in Sanremo 2018 and Eleni Foureria that is chossen to compete for Cyprus on Eurovision will make available to watch in Lisbon three Albanians on the Eurovision scene together. Eugen Bushpepa who won the 56th Albanian Festival of Song (56th RTSH) 2918 will be with them.

The singer, ballet dancer and Albanian-Greek actress Eleni Foureria is one of the most clickable characters for the moment. Known not only for her graces, but also as one of the main characters of the showbizz, she was a singer who first appeared in the Mystique band in 2007 but later also as a soloist.

For a long time she hid her Albanian identity from fear of discrimination, the 30-year-old confessed later that her real name is Entela Fureraj and is from Albania. She was born in Fier. Her parents are among the first immigrants of the 1990s, which has enabled to Eleni a life in Greece since her early childhood.

She will represent Cyprus at Eurovision Song Contest 2018, in Lisbon, Portugal, being the third Albanian singer at the European Song Festival.

Eugen Bushpepa, will sing for the Albanian flag, as the winner of the 56th RTSH Festival, with the song "Mall" (Eng: Longing).

A rocky song that alternates with the singer's vocals. He recounts his personal personal story as he composed the song when he was away from the family.

Ermal Meta, is the winner of Sanremo's 68th edition. His song “Non mi avete fatto niente” (You have done nothing to me) along with the Calabrese Fabrizio Moro, will be the representatives of the italy in Eurovision.

The European Festival has a strong geopolitical point, so the representation in it of the three Albanians is good news for the Albanian music.
