The 18th festival took place from 26 to 28.12.1979. The presenters were Mimoza Tafaj and Pirro Kita. 20 songs participate in the competition: 10 on the first night, 10 on the second night and 15 come out on the final night. Songs about Hysni Kapo (who passed away that year on 23 September) and Stalin (100th anniversary of his birth on 18.12.1978) are out of the competition. Not only did they not repeat like the other songs, but in the final the song for Hysni Kapon is different (composed by Ferdinand Deda and performed by Gaqo Çako). The winning song "Festë ka sot Albania" with music by Agim Prodani, with verses by Zhuliana Jorganxhi, performed by the duets of Zeliha Sina with Liliana Kondakçi (her third victory) and then with Afërdita Laçi and, when she won, sung by her three together. The theme is the same as the festivals of those years. The duet Ceko-Herri with the song "Lulet e dasma" stands out, as well as, as always, Krajka's song "Më e dëlë nga syri yt" stands out for its rhythm and content, which receives third prize. The composer Gazmend Mullahi begins his career at this festival. (According to J. Zamputi in Wikipedia) _____________ Albanian cinematography in activity since 2013
