How did Njimje Paganizha lose his voice in Sarajevo? (Video)

Albania's great singer, Nedmije Paganousha, has a several-year career to covet and has thus entered the hearts of Albanians forever.

The singer of “Baresta”, however, was once disappointed with the fact that she lost her voice and did not give her maximum on the stage. That would happen when the peak reached Sarajevo, in a performance of its own when she was criticised for her performance.

Kosovo's Bilbili himself tells the story, Nexmije Paganousha.

I had some problems with my voice recently, which I had consulted by a doctor in Belgrade who, whenever I held concerts there, would come along with his wife and honour me with flower bouquets. She preferred me: ma'am, you need a period of silence, we don't need medication.

The definitive silence of the voice, meanwhile, occurred in Sarajevo at the 1984 Winter Olympics. Radio Pristina took me along with the orchestra to sing for guests from around the world. I sang in a bar called Hamam Bar, overnight, ten days. That was too much for me, in that smoking smoke. Besides, I was nervous because the fun orchestras couldn't accompany me.

When Ansemble Shota came, along with Luan Hajra, I rejoiced. I sang with this sweet aunt the next night, which no one in the world would ever go out to sing with that voice I had that night! But I was sorry to leave them because among the points I was going out, the amsabbles were changing the wardrobe for my next presentation. That night was terrible for me, some tons I could sing, some not while the sweat went, the hall was full, and all that, they applauded” and showed the nejmija in Sanije Gashi's book Walking on Memory, until it began to take on the other connotations because of years of performance but also the presentations in places where her voice was mixed with tobacco smoke.
