Albanian music star celebrates 50 years/ A message from Aurela Gaçe

Singer Aurela Gaçe

Albanian artist and music star Aurel Gaçe celebrates her 50th birthday today.

On this special day, the singer has chosen to be thankful for everything that God has given her, from talent to family.

More than a wish or a memory, the singer brings a message and a reflection that life is very expensive and we should be thankful that we breathe.

"50 years old today! A half century! It seems like a lot when you say it in centuries but it seems like a little when you say it in years. I feel full, full of blessings.

A heart full of two children who changed the whole meaning of my life, with the family that I love so much, with friends that have been found in many stages of my life.

Blessed with the great love you have given me and give me every day, you, the benefactors and supporters of the career I built on the basis of a gift that God gave me.

50 years full of ups and downs...but full of life, breath, love. LIFE is expensive so I'm happy to breathe. (reflection that I do every day)", writes the singer.

Albanian singer Aurela Gaçe

Albanian singer Aurela Gaçe was born on October 16, 1974, in Llakatund of the coastal city of Vlora. Gaçe started singing at a young age at the Children's Festival in her hometown, Vlora. Her talent stood out there, which would be further developed throughout her childhood in musical events, where she won many awards.

For Aurela, school was the place of learning, but she spent most of her time singing. It can be described as rebellious by nature.

Her mind was focused only on the song. She was destined to become a singer. At the age of 19, she participated in the great Song Festival on the national Radio and Television in Tirana, where she had a very good performance with the song "Pegaso". Four months later she competed and won at the 1994 Spring Festival.

Aurela's real success began with her song "Nata" at the RTSH '95 Festival. Since that time, she won 2 first prizes at the 1999 Festival with the song "S'jam tribu" and at the 2001 Festival with the song "Ndjej".

Meanwhile, she won a great success with the song "Our fate, hope and stupidity", where she took second place at the 1998 Festival.

Aurela has also won third prizes at the '96 Festival, with the song "Loved life", and at the '98 Festival with "I'm innocent".

In 2000, Aurela proved that the "Academy of Arts" was the right choice for her and graduated that year in Drama. She released 2 albums in 1998 and 2 more in 2000.

Aurela's style ranges from pop to folk. In February 2002, Aurela decided to challenge herself and moved to America. For him this was a new beginning. She immediately gained popularity in the Albanian community due to her amazing voice and electrifying performances, ranging from clubs, concerts across America to private events.

In 2004, Aurela sang both the national anthems of Albania and America in an event with the participation of President Bill Clinton.

With the song "Feel The Passion" (My song) he participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011, where he represented Albania at the "Fortuna Düsseldorf Arena" in Düsseldorf, Germany on May 10 on the semi-final night./ CNA
