“Merita Halili raised her radiant soprano in buoyant wedding songs, punctuated by speed-demon accordion from her husband and bandleader, Raif Hyseni.” – Jon Pareles, The New York Times, September 24, 2002

Merita Halili is renowned in her native Albania for her stunning voice, prodigious range, and exquisite vocal technique. Raif Hyseni, originally from the Republic of Kosova (which recently proclaimed its independence from Serbia), leads the most sought-after Albanian music ensemble in the United States. Together, they thrill audiences with their masterful interpretations of instrumentals and urban folk songs.
