Shkodra Elektronike was formed by two Albanian musicians who emigrated to Italy after leaving their native city of Shkodër.
The duo is made up of songwriter and producer Kolë Laca and singer and songwriter Beatriçe Gjergji. At the heart of the project is the pair's passion for re-interpreting the traditional songs of Shkodër in a contemporary electronic style.
Over the years, Shkodra Elektronike have performed at some major festivals around Europe, including Paléo Festival (Geneva), EXIT Festival (Novi Sad), MOST Festival (Veszprém), Pin Music Conference (Sofia), and SoAlive (Vienna).
The duo are currently producing their debut album, which is going to include some prestigious features. Already signed up to appear on it are the Albanian Iso-Polyphonic Choir (a UNESCO cultural heritage), Redi Hasa and Roy Paci.
Lyrics toZjerm
Në këtë minutë,
Në këtë çast,
No paranoia.
Pas shiut,
E ylbertë duket bota.
Nëpër rrugë,
Asnjë ambulance.
Kurrkush s’të flet
Me arrogance.
Edhe sot na thane,
Që s’prishet koha.
Përfundova nën ujë
Kurrë s’mu tha goja.
Imagjino një minutë
Pa ushtarë,
Pa jetimë.
Asnjë shishe në oqean.
Naftës i vjen era jargavan.
lirinë e fjalës
T’a mëson shkolla
Krijo në mua një zemër t’pastër.
Në natën time, të dërgoj dritën.
Aman miserere.
Aman miserere.
Në zemrën time.
Në zemrën time.
Ky minutë do të vazhdojë.
Njerëzit e mirë.
Njerëzit e mirë
Kërcejnë valle në shpirt.
Jarna ne ti toka ime,
Ku kam lindë s’do të harroj.
Jarna ne ti bota ime,
Vazhdo më shndrit,
Shndrit,
Shndrit,
Shndrit,
Shndrit.
Zjerm!
Bjer mbi vallet tona tribale,
Që ushtojnë sa orteku kur bjen n’male.
Zjerm!
Njerëzit pa emën e njerëzit e dlirtë,
Njësoj këputen e bijnë.
Si 7 thika që t’ngulen n’shpirt.
Zjerm!
Këtu flen deti, rana e hana.
E yjet s’i shohim se yjet na i shkel Kamba.
Kur ecim n’jerm.
Zjerm!
Jena t’untë për flakë e dritë,
E t’kërkojmë...
N’kyt terr që s’pranë tuej shndritë
Krijo në mua jë zemër t’pastër
Në natën time, të dërgoj dritën
Aman miserere
Aman miserere
Krijo në mua jë zemër t’pastër
Në natën time, të dërgoj dritën
Aman miserere
Aman miserere
Në zemrën time
Në zemrën time
Ky minutë do të vazhdojë.
Njerëzit e mire.
Njerëzit e mire.
Kërcejnë valle në shpirt.
Jarna ne ti toka ime.
Ku kam lindë s’do të harroj.
Jarna ne ti bota ime,
vazhdo më shndrit
Shndrit,
Shndrit.
At this minute,
At this moment,
No more paranoia.
After the rain
The world seems like a rainbow.
No ambulances
Roaming the streets,
No one arrogantly speaks.
Forecast for today, true:
The skies still will be blue.
Ending under the water,
My mouth never dried up.
Imagine a minute, try,
Without soldiers,
With no orphans crying.
No bottles in the ocean,
Diesel smelling like lilac.
The freedom of speech
Taught in a school class.
Carve in me a clean heart,
I’ll send the light,
In my darkness, night.
Aman, miserere!
Aman, miserere!
In my heart,
In this heart of mine,
This minute eternally lasts,
Good people blast.
Decent people,
Dance in their soul
Hey, hop my soil!
I’ll never forget the cradle I was born
Oh, hey, my world
Keep shining on me!
Enlighten!
Shine!
Splendidly shine!
Shine on!
Fire!
Fall upon our tribal wild dances,
As avalanche echoes
On mountains, rolls down.
Fire!
The nameless and pure people,
Fall and roll down the same
As seven knives the soul straightly pierce.
Fire!
Here the sea, the sand and the moon sleep,
And the stars we do not see
Trampled under the feet,
Sleepwalking to be free.
Fire!
For flames and light starving,
For you endlessly searching,
In this shining darkness thirsting for brightness.
Carve in me a clean heart
In the darkness, I’ll send you the light
Aman, miserere!
Aman, miserere!
In my pulsating heart,
In my beating heart!
This minute will keep on keeping on,
Decent beings,
Good people,
Dance around in their soul.
Hey, hop my soil!
I’ll never forget the cradle I was born
Oh, hey, my beloved world,
Keep shining on me!
Shine!
Shine on!
