She was born on December 17, 1949 in Narte, Vlora, and this is precisely the place where she appeared on stage for the first time with the Narte Ensemble.
With the patience and prudence of the girl of the waves near and far from Joni, full of talent, muse and passion, with her voice, she would very quickly become one of the most admired and popular singers, not only in Albania, but in the whole world Albanian.
Kleopatra has been energetic and talented, with the emotional interpretation and the power of the sounds of the folk from Vlora, as we have seen her on stage and in various artistic and musical events over the years. It is not for nothing that they have called her the Queen of the Vlora Song. It has thus become a valuable national and historical value of Albanian art and culture.

The second prize at the Festival seems to haunt her, this is what happens when in v. 1970, in the 9th edition, she wins it again with the song “Nene dhe shoqe”.
A year later, in the edition of 10th Festival on RTSH, wins two of them with the two songs “Ne te Dy” and “Interesant”, thus achieving a record for second prizes won, full of 7 if we add the one won in the 1972 edition of the 12th Festival, from the period 1967-1972.
The year 1971 will find her on a tour in Romania with the Song and Dance Ensemble of Albania and Kosovo with the Laberia Ensemble.
