ALBANIA

Ronela Hajati is one of Albania’s most colourful and versatile pop performers, known for combining bold contemporary production with Balkan influences and an unmistakably energetic stage presence. Born in Tirana, she has been a familiar name on the Albanian music scene for many years, with appearances at major festivals including Kënga Magjike and Festivali i Këngës. Her victory at the latter with “Sekret” took her to Eurovision in 2022. Global Music knows her well too: this will be Ronela’s fourth appearance in the contest, with 22nd place remaining her best result so far.

Joining her is Capital T, one of the leading names in the Albanian-speaking urban music scene. Hailing from Pristina, Kosovo, he has built a successful career through a blend of hip-hop, rap and melodic pop. He is also making a Global Music return, having previously competed once without reaching the final.

This time, two familiar faces are combining their forces: Ronela Hajati and Capital T will carry the Albanian flag together at Global Music 245 with “Koishii”.

​Released in 2026, “Koishii” brings Ronela’s melodic pop instincts together with Capital T’s urban edge in a sleek, modern collaboration. The track mixes pop and contemporary Balkan urban sounds with a warm, summery pulse, while the contrasting personalities of its two performers give the song much of its character. Catchy, confident and effortlessly rhythmic, “Koishii” gives both artists another shot at improving their Global Music fortunes.
