Like Nightingales in the Spring performed by Orkestra Shkodra is an album that celebrates the rich heritage of Shkodra in North Albania, and the artistic soul of the city where everyone sings. It is a small collection from the enormous rich repertoire of popular urban and wedding ceremonial songs very typical and well celebrated in Shkodra and Albania but little known and recorded beyond. The aim of this project was primarily preservation of the Shkodra tradition, while also promoting and disseminating this treasure of sounds to the world.
