Justina Aliaj
Singer, actress.
One of the golden voices of Albanian music during the 70s, actress of the “Migjeni” Theater, Shkoder and of Albanian cinematography.
After the 7-year school, she was given the right to study at the Artistic Lyceum for music. But since she was little, she chose the theater.
Aliaj was at “Pioneer’s House” while she was playing, when she tried to sing. Tonin Dajia, Tish Dajia’s brother, also discovered her talent in music. After graduating from the Artistic Lyceum, began his higher studies at the Academy of Arts, majoring in dramaturgy.
Every time she mentions Shkodra, her eyes fill with tears. Justina started singing with the theater classes in the “Pioneer`s House”, as a child, since she was 6 years old. At the 1st Children’s Festival in Shkoder, Justina sang “Student’s Dream”. She also had the first role in the operetta “Forest lesson”.
Since then every year she will participate in the children’s festival.
An operetta the composer Tonin Harapi will be the first one she will sing.
The high school studies did not serve her only to be formed musically. The composers knew her voice, so they were ready for the songs she would sing at the Festivals at the end of the Year. Songs like “The Ring”; “Me and my friends”; “I`m a girl” etc. were sung in 6 participations in Festivals one after the other, until the stage lights went off for her.
The 11th festival was the ruin of her career. “On the TV screen” will be the last song she will sing and will mark the end of a career that was at its peak.
But she and her talent would not be forgotten by the Albanian public that loved her so much, because she was a great singer. Even though she left Albania after 1990, she would return from time to time. Shkodra, her hometown, will give her the title of “Honorary Citizen” while in Tirana she will be evaluated as “Great Master” by the president of the Republic!
