Nikol Çabeli Dances Her Way to Junior Eurovision 2024: Albania’s Rising Star to Perform ‘Vallëzoj’ in Madrid

In the heart of Tirana, the RTSH Symphony Orchestra Hall was buzzing with excitement as Nikol Çabeli emerged victorious in the Junior Fest 2024, securing her place as Albania’s representative for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024. With her captivating performance of «Vallëzoj» (Dance), the young star is set to bring her undeniable charm and energy to the stage in Madrid this December.

The atmosphere at Junior Fest 2024 was nothing short of electric. As 18 hopefuls competed for the coveted title, the audience was treated to a display of immense young talent. Alongside the competition, guest performances from Mal RetkoceriEranda Libohova, and Viola Gjyzeli (Albania’s 2023 Junior Eurovision representative) added to the evening’s excitement, making it a night to remember.

Nikol’s song, “Vallëzoj,” is a joyous celebration of life, movement, and expression — much like the young singer herself. Her graceful yet powerful performance captured the hearts of both the audience and the five-member jury, propelling her to the top spot. Gjon Gjipali’s “S’ka problem” and Boris Metaj’s “Se jemi ne” took second and third place, respectively, but it was Nikol’s radiant energy and soulful voice that truly shone through.

At just 13 years old, Nikol Çabeli is no stranger to the spotlight. Her journey has been one of dedication, practice, and passion for music. With a background in both singing and dancing, she embodies the very essence of her song — a call to dance, to embrace the joy of movement, and to connect with the world through music.

As Albania looks ahead to the Junior Eurovision 2024, all eyes will be on Nikol. After Viola Gjyzeli’s remarkable 8th-place finish in Nice last year — the country’s best result since 2015 — there’s a palpable sense of excitement and hope. Will Nikol’s “Vallëzoj” take Albania even higher in Madrid?

Whatever the outcome, one thing is certain: Nikol will bring her heart and soul to the stage, and her radiant energy will inspire children and adults alike to dance, dream, and celebrate the beauty of youth.

A Brief History of Albania in Junior Eurovision

Albania’s journey in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest began in 2012, and while the country has faced its share of ups and downs, it has steadily grown into a formidable contender lately.

In its early years, Albania’s results were modest. However, things began to turn around in 2015, when Mishela Rapobrought Albania its first top 5 finish with her song «Dambaje», earning a total of 93 points and placing 5th. This marked a turning point for Albania, as the nation’s confidence and presence on the Junior Eurovision stage began to solidify.

Since then, Albania has continued to send strong performers with songs that reflect the vibrancy and spirit of its young talent. Last year, Viola Gjyzeli delivered an outstanding performance with her song «Bota ime» (My World), finishing 8th and earning Albania its second top 10 placement.

Now, with Nikol Çabeli stepping into the spotlight, there’s a renewed sense of optimism. Her song “Vallëzoj” not only showcases her vocal talent but also embodies the passion and pride that Albania has for the Junior Eurovision stage.

As we approach the 2024 contest in Madrid, Albania’s young stars continue to make their mark, proving that this small but determined nation has a bright future ahead in Junior Eurovision.
