The
National Ensemble of Folk Songs and Dances The National Ensemble of Folk Songs and Dances
(NEFSD) was established as a professional ensemble in 1957, having all the
artistic and technical components of an The Albanian folk is distinct from that of other countries
for its originality, long existence, as well as for the variety of artistic
genres. Albania has a lot of ethnographical areas, each having its
specialties in costumes, songs, dances, rites and customs, which are even
diverse within a given area. For decades the Ensemble has been a laboratory for
elaborating and interpreting with high artistic standards this rich treasure,
which our people have inherited generation Another important element that emphasizes the values of our
Ensemble is the talent of its artists. Hundreds of the best artists of Albania
have been part of it: dancers, musicians, choreographers, singers and
costume-makers. Costumes are, perhaps, the Ensemble’s greatest richness,
with both their originality and the variety of their colors, designs and
ornaments. They have been estimated as rare values of the traditional culture of
a nation. The Ensemble of Folk Songs and Dances has had 100 premiere
shows in its artistic life, which have had repertories of choice. It has done
10.000 shows on all the Albanian stages for 50 years. In its
almost-half-a-century-long life the Ensemble has had over 100 new dances in its
repertory, whose music and motifs are from all the folk areas, with The musical repertory has been one of the most powerful and most successful elements, be it the original version and the elaborate one. The orchestra, too, has great values. Its members have been
from the most talented. The solo singers are remarkable due to their powerful
and colorful voice and for their individuality with respect to different areas.
Their remarkable repertory has made them the pride of the Albanian vocal. The
Ensemble choir, with its repertory and its members, can rarely be found in other
ensembles. Elaborate songs for different voices, which are incomparable for
their quality and professionalism, are of great value. Nowadays the Ensemble of Folk Songs and Dances members are the best artists of dance, songs, vocal, choreography, music and orchestra. The Ensemble includes the dance troupe, the orchestra, the vocal complex, and the solo singers, who are carefully chosen for their talent and their level of interpretation. The artistic and executive staff includes the orchestra leader, the dance troupe leader, the director, and the artistic director.
