SHKODRA ELEKTRONIKE ALBANIA POST IMMIGRANT POP Shkodra Elektronike is the music project of two Albanian immigrants who grew up in Italy, pretty far away from their mother city, Shkoder. The project is formed by Kolë Laca and Beatriçe Gjergji. They have di昀昀erent ages and di昀昀erent life stories and yet their need is so similar: 昀椀nding a way to go home without taking any airplane. They de昀椀ne their genre as “Post Immigrant Pop”. The heart of the project is the re-interpretation of the traditional songs of Shkodra in a contemporary electronic key. 55
