6/22/2007 - Adelina Ismaili

                                   

 

Adelina Ismajli (her surname is also spelled Ismaili) was born on 14 December 1979 in Prishtina, Kosova,  She is one the most popular female Albanian pop artists throughout Albania, Kosova, the Republic of Macedonia and in the ethnic Albanian villages of Malesia(in Montenegro).

Ismajli is best known for her controversial and politically charged songs and lyrics, including “Uragan Çohen Krenaret,” “Në Kosovë Luhet Kumorë,” and “Skenderbe.” She is also highly recognized as a sex symbol for her outrageous and sexually provocative videos and performances on Albanian local television stations

Ismajli’s records, including four chart-topping albums (100% Zeshkane, S'jam Sex Bombe, Prej Fillimit, and Mbretereshe E Robereshe), have become instant successes and best sellers in Albania, Kosovo, Malësia, and the United States

In an early 2006 interview, Adelina dismissed claims that Albanian musicians had developed a habit of taking tunes from the neighbouring Balkan languages, as is often the case across the region. In an outspoken appearance, she gave evidence that in cases where the Albanian tune matched that of the neighbouring version, it had mostly been the Albanian which was original.

Ismajli also has a younger sister, Zanfina Ismajli, who is also a singer.

Adelina was crowned "Miss Kosovo", an Albanian held beauty pageant, in 1997

 

   

 

Adelina Ismaili refutes allegations according to which, albanian singers are copying their songs from their ballkan neighbors and beyond. In contrary, she claims that, though that can be true in fewer instances, in many cases can be proven that albanian songs were subject to plagiarism by others

About HANA band

   "HANA band" is a brand new on the kosovar pop-rock  scene. The band is made as the result of collaboration of these artists for many years, but in different music circumstances, cause each of them has been envolved in any of the big bands of the kosovar music scene. ”The great experience  gained for all those years brought us till this collaboration” the HANA members say.
      In front of ”HANA band” are big projects. Te first song is allready realised in well-known “PROSOUND” studio in Tetova (Macedonia). For their first song ”Ende e dua” (Still Love Him) is also made a clip in "Total Studio" in the city of Ferizaj, and the work to complete their first album is going on. Of course there wont be missing the stylistic side of the band's image, in difference from the other band's, for this project has been  made contacts with modern stylists and photographers, like this they bring to the kosovar audience besides music a different image from that we have used to see in the Kosova's musical scene.
       Even with the career the band members are very modest when they talk, "much work less talk, like that well make our audience to sing together with us, in and out of Kosova .....

2/13/2006 - Mother Teresa - Nena Tereze

Mother Teresa – Biography

Mother TeresaMother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje*, Macedonia, on August 27, 1910. Her family was of Albanian descent. At the age of twelve, she felt strongly the call of God. She knew she had to be a missionary to spread the love of Christ. At the age of eighteen she left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India. After a few months' training in Dublin she was sent to India, where on May 24, 1931, she took her initial vows as a nun. From 1931 to 1948 Mother Teresa taught at St. Mary's High School in Calcutta, but the suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent walls made such a deep impression on her that in 1948 she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta. Although she had no funds, she depended on Divine Providence, and started an open-air school for slum children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and financial support was also forthcoming. This made it possible for her to extend the scope of her work.

On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Holy See to start her own order, "The Missionaries of Charity", whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965 the Society became an International Religious Family by a decree of Pope Paul VI.

Today the order comprises Active and Contemplative branches of Sisters and Brothers in many countries. In 1963 both the Contemplative branch of the Sisters and the Active branch of the Brothers was founded. In 1979 the Contemplative branch of the Brothers was added, and in 1984 the Priest branch was established.

The Society of Missionaries has spread all over the world, including the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. They provide effective help to the poorest of the poor in a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and they undertake relief work in the wake of natural catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and famine, and for refugees. The order also has houses in North America, Europe and Australia, where they take care of the shut-ins, alcoholics, homeless, and AIDS sufferers.

The Missionaries of Charity throughout the world are aided and assisted by Co-Workers who became an official International Association on March 29, 1969. By the 1990s there were over one million Co-Workers in more than 40 countries. Along with the Co-Workers, the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa's spirit and charism in their families.

Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.

2/10/2006 - Luan Krasniqi

 

 

Luan Krasniqi was born on May 10, 1971 as the youngest of eight children from Kosovo-Albanian parents. Enjoying a happy and active childhood, Luan grew up in Junik, where in 1987 he finished his primary and secondary school, before his family moved to Rottweil in Germany: "My childhood was good," recalls Luan. "But when I learned that we would be rejoining my father who had moved to Rottweil in 1970 I was overjoyed. I had dreamt about a move to the city and now it was coming true!" Luan graduated in Germany his A-Level and an education as a wholesaler. His boxing-career began at the local BSV Rottweil, where met Theo Kerekesch, a boxing trainer of high regard.

Spotting talent and kinship within each other, hard work developed Luan into a solid, well schooled heavyweight. Once Luan had been granted German citizenship, he entered the Multi-Nations Tournament in Liverpool (UK) and won the gold medal. He consolidated the success with a gold medal later that year at the German Championships, Berlin. 1995 saw Luan storming the World Championships, Berlin, by taking the silver medal - losing only to the vastly experienced Cuban great, Félix Savón. Luan ended the year on a roll, taking the Heavyweight Gold in the International Chemie Cup Tournament, Halle. After three years of triumphs at the Olympic Games he reached a semi-final bout with Félix Savón in Atlanta, 1996.

Luan, cut under the eye in his last bout, was forced to withdraw upon doctors advice. This left him unable to fight for an Olympic Gold Medal. He returned home with the Bronze medal, Germany's first heavyweight medal since 1976. Luan was understandably disappointed at losing his chance to avenge his previous loss to Savón. "I felt that I could have beaten him. He had out-pointed me the previous year but I had grown stronger and developed further since then. I am sure that the fight would have been close but I think that this time, I would have celebrated." However, Luan has many memories to savour from Atlanta - one of which was a meeting with his idol, Muhammad Ali. "Muhammad Ali was and still is an idol. Nobody can ever achieve what he achieved. Such a thing is a once in a lifetime phenomenon."

"To shine so long and so brightly, to define eras in history with the sheer force of his ability and personality and to be so well remembered is unique. Meeting him was an honour I shall never forget." Luan took his first steps to his own fame as he decided to become famous and to get in at Panix Promotions, where Lennox Lewis has his contract.

Luan won his first fight (with Harry Senior, 02.09.97) with half a point projection. In order to improve his training he was invited to Lennox Lewis in Big Bear Lake, where he was training for the fight against Gołota. Luan showed that he could resist the pressure of sparring with Lewis. Since then, he has been to Big Bear Lake three times.

During Lewis' training for the fights against Briggs, Mavrović and Holyfield he was one of his sparring partners. Luan overcame with success the first hurdles of his career as a "newcomer" in professional boxing. He boxed successfully for Panix Promotion 15 times and in 2000 after Lennox Lewis had terminated his contract, Luan decided to look for a new alternative. In February and April 2000 he built his connections with Universum Box-Promotion and fought a number of matches for them. In January 2001 he signed a three years long contract with Universum Box-Promotion.

The highlight of his career was the fight against Rene Monse, when he became European Champion. He was the first German European Champion after 29 years.

A half year later Krasniqi lost his belt in a fight against Przemysław Saleta. The man from Rottweil was prepared for eight rounds. But after an injury of Vitali Klitschko, his fight was pushed to the main event. So Krasniqi had just four weeks of preperation and had to risk his title. Mainly due to this lack of preparation, although leading by points, Krasniqi had a bout of weakness and had to stop at the beginning of round nine.

After this defeat he didn't let go and began to fight back to the top of the European rankings. Finally at the 14/02/04 he celebrated the victory over his stablemate Sinan Samil Sam and took "his" European Champion belt back home.

2005 brought Krasniqi to the top of the heavyweight competition after he knocked out highly-regarded Lance Whitaker and became a mandatory challenger for the WBO crown. The title boot against Lamon Brewster was a brutal slugfest. While clearly leading on all scorecards, Krasniqi went into the punch-exchange and got knocked down & out in round 9. It was a dissapointing loss to all German fans, since the resurrection of a new German heavyweight champion was highly anticipated to occur on Max Schmeling's 100th birthday.

During all his career, Luan Krasniqi has had a loyal following of his Albanian compatriots from all over the world and has become an object of pride and sport hero for them
