ATTEND Musæus to my sacred song,
and learn what rites to sacrifice belong.
Jove I invoke, the earth and solar light,
The moons pure splendor, and the stars of the night.
~ORPHEUS
Ejani Muza ne kengen time tshenjte asistoni,
Zotin kendoj, tokes dhe drites se djellit,
shkelqimin e venitur thenes,
Dhe yjeve te nates lart qellit
aesthete or esthete (stht)

This album is dedicated to my first teacher of music, my father.
Also I would like to thank my family and friends in and out of Albania
but especially Mami. I will always be indebted to Albania and the Albanian Diaspora who have applauded me with such passion and generosity
and Im grateful to no end. A very special thank you to Jason Whittington and thanks to Amy Basler and all at Reincarnate and everyone else who contributed to the realization of this album.
L. Poradeci (1899-1987), a poetical talent of a different nature, a brilliant lyrical poet, wrote a soft and warm poetry, but with a deep thinking and a charming musicality Vallja e yjeve (The Dance of Stars), 1933, Ylli i zemrës (The Star of Heart) 1937.
F. S. Noli (1882-1965) F.S. Noli is one of the most versatile figures -- he was a distinguished Poet, historian, dramatist, aesthete and musicologist, publicist, translator and master of the Albanian language, on top of being a statesman and diplomat, he is the genius of Albanian culture of the 20th century
Simaku is a famous and beloved singer from Albania. As a teen she represented Albanian culture, singing folklore on national television and radio and performing to international audiences.
Simaku won many competitions and awards, worked with many well-known composers and musicians, forayed into modern pop and created the first music videos in her country.
Simaku has crafted a modern world music album that is rooted in exotic, mysterious, undiscovered eastern-European folklore.
Simaku’s music is part archive, part futurism. Ancient folklore brought to life through angelic melodies in exotic, contemporary arrangements. Her voice, at times explosive, melancholy, even mind expanding, transcends the ages and musical landscapes, bringing the sounds of Iliria to the listening world.
