The first song, he sang at the Cave of Dragobia for Baja Bajram Curri and the other men of Malesia e Gjakoves. There he won the first applause, applause he did not cease, either in Tropoja, Tirana, Gjirokastra, Konispol, throughout Albania, across Kosovo and Macedonia, in many of Bailanka’s and Europe’s scenes. The folklore festivals of Gjirokastra were in honor of its presence as well as applauded in many artistic competitions of folk creativity in the Balkans and Europe.
