Junior Fest this year is conceived as a celebration not only of young singers who have just been selected by the music selection committee. Alongside hearing original songs from the finalists, we will also have performances from artists such as Arsi Bako, Niki Zaimi & Band, Melodajn Mancaku and Luna Çausholli.
