"Song Festival" at RTSH, one of the most prestigious musical events taking place in Albania.
At the Festival, which will be held on December 17-20, as every year, there will be competition not only for the grand prize, but also for the representation of Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026.
And while the names of the singers participating in the Year-End Festival have been revealed, VoxNews has revealed the names of the two presenters.
They will be Arilena Ara and Salsano Rrapi. Since the festival aims for a "youthful spirit", Arilena Ara is the best symbol of this initiative. In this way, the singer returns once again to the Festival she won in 2019, this time with the task of presenting.
Meanwhile, Salsano Rrapi, in addition to his mastery of presentation, will also bring an atmosphere of humor to the festival, where in addition to the emotions of the songs, there will also be laughter.
Arilena Ara and Salsano Rrapi are a very interesting duo!
