Nikoleta Shoshi – Berisha "Ina" The "forgotten" singer of the past, one of the golden voices of the song microphone! He was born in Shkoder in 1948. She was baptized by her mother with the name Jozefina, but she could not win over the other proposals that were for Nikoleta. However, she would always be called by her mother, Ina, and later by almost everyone else… From a young age, she was involved in singing and music. She became active in the "Pioneer's House" in her hometown before the Festival of Pioneers, which would start in 1961, had yet started to be organized. However, in the first two editions of this festival, in 1961 and 1962, she won the Prize of first. And it will be precisely this success that will open the door to the Song Festival. Her father, who was a tailor by profession, managed to sew her a coat within 4 hours to appear in Tirana, where the great composer Tish Daija had invited him. Today, after so many years, when she took the stage of the second song festival in RTSH in 1963, few people remember her name, the 14-year-old girl who performed the beautiful song "Flake dhe bore". With all the shyness and excitement of a child not used to the big stage of this musical event, she managed to put the song at the top of the classification, thus leaving the timbre of her voice in the memory of many people at that time. The song was announced as the winner, while she was awarded the third prize, which was quite a bit for a child. 
It is appointed in Puke in the House of Culture there. He refuses to go, but after 5-6 months he travels to Puka on a cold day with snow and ice. Here she meets Ylberi, the Kosovar boy who will win her heart and who will also be her husband. Ylberi was a doctor by profession and played the guitar very well. Music becomes the cause that also made this connection between them. There were no shortage of nights at home secretly singing English and Italian songs together. She on the piano while Ylberi accompanied her on the guitar. However, Nikolete's family was not very happy with this relationship. Religious differences were somewhat pronounced in Shkoder. Often times both she and her husband were accused of being too emancipated for the time, even Ylberi was arrested in 1983 on the absurd charge of being a collaborator of the Serbs…. 
She will stay in Puke until 1984, for 16 years, five of which she spends in Fushe-Arez as a music teacher. 
But after that, Nikoleta will never have the chance to appear on the big stage of the festival in Rtsh, nor any other musical activity.
