Nexhmije Pagarusha

Nexhmije Pagarusha[a] was a Kosovan singer and actress, sometimes referred to as the Queen of Albanian music by her admirers in Kosovo. Pagarusha gained acclaim as a recording artist in Kosova and neighbouring countries for her distinct soprano vocal range, which she displayed performing various Albanian folk songs during her career, which spanned 36 years, from 1948, in her debut in Radio Prishtina, to 1984, in her final concert in Sarajevo. Her music style was not limited just to Albanian music, as she performed rock, pop, funk, opera/classical, and many more.
