Shkodra Elektronike (pronounced [ˈʃkɔdɾa ɛlɛktɾɔˈnikɛ]) is an Albanian folktronica duo formed in 2019 in Shkodër consisting of Kolë Laca and Beatriçe Gjergji. They will represent Albania at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025 with the song "Zjerm".

History

The duo are originally from Shkodër in northern Albania as immigrants who grew up in Italy. They gained popularity in Albania through the release of successful singles such as "Ku e Gjeta Vedin" and "Synin si Qershia" in 2020. They began performing at various international festivals.

Shkodra Elektronike also composed "E jemja nuse" which was performed by Rezarta Smaja in Festivali i Këngës 60, finishing in third place.

In 2022, they released their debut EP, Live @ Uzina, with the featured single "Turtulleshë".

In 2024, Shkodra Elektronike was selected to compete in Festivali i Këngës 63 with the song "Zjerm". On 21 December 2024, they secured their place in the final, ultimately winning the festival and going on to represent Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.

Musical style and artistry

The music of Shkodra Elektronike is characterized by a fusion of genres such as electronic, pop, and traditional Albanian music. It is structured around catchy melodies, engaging rhythms, and lyrics that often address themes like love or everyday life. The core of the project is the duo's passion for re-interpreting traditional songs of Shkodër in a contemporary electronic style.
