Fatos Shabani: “This is my first time in a festival, and I’m coming from underground Rock’n’Roll”
The lead singer of the band Bystandr, Fatos Shabani, is entering Festivali i Kenges for the very first time. His acoustic song “Ty” (English: “You”), is one of the 25 songs which are going to be competing next week to represent Albania in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest.
We had a great pleasure to chat with Fatos about his upcoming participation in Festivali i Kenges, about his song in its original version, his work with Bystandr, as he also told us about his highlight of the year. Check out all of that, and more, in this interview right here:
