"When you turn 70, it's a great emotion, so let's hope that people are left with good impressions. The audience is my friends, because joy is shared with friends. I'm really turning 70 this year, but the truth is that I've been involved in art for 58 years, since I was a 12-year-old child, so in all these years I've acted, I've sung, I've written poetry, drama, I haven't separated myself from art in any of its fields, except for dancing."

"I have been friends with Spiro Katundi since his youth. I was 18 years old at the first festival, where I met Spiro and many other friends. It is a pleasure that on our 75th anniversaries, our 70th anniversaries, our 65th anniversaries, our 60th anniversaries we meet each other. We have maintained a friendship with good sincerity. This is the pleasure of our years. Today we gathered together, I would have liked other friends to be there but they are with activities. We who wanted to come, sacrificed some of our activities but before the birthday and before the friendship with Spiro, to be honest, it is worth nothing because it is a friendship that enters the old ones. We have tested each other in difficulties, in good times and in joys."

This concert not only filled the hearts of those present with music and emotions, but also showed that art and true friendship know no age./ CNA
