Adelina Ismajli was born in Priština, Kosovo, then part of Yugoslavia, on December 14, 1979 and is one the most popular female Albanian pop artists throughout Albania, Kosovo, the Republic of Macedonia and Montenegro.
Ismajli is best known for her controversial and political songs and lyrics, including “Uragan Çohen Krenarët,” “Në Kosovë Luhet Kumorë,” and “Skenderbe.” She is also highly recognized as a sex symbol for her outrageous sexually explicit videos and performances on Albanian local television.
Ismajli’s records, including four chart-topping albums (100% Zeshkane, S'jam Sex Bombë, Prej Fillimit, and Mbretëreshë E Robëreshë), have become instant successes and best sellers in Albania, Kosovo, Malesi, and the United States.
In an early 2006 interview, Adelina dismissed claims that Albanian musicians had developed a habit of taking tunes from the neighbouring Balkan languages, as is often the case accross the region. In an outspoken appearance, she gave evidence that in cases where the Albanian tune matched that of the neighouring version, it had mostly been the Albanian which was original. [1]
Ismajli also has a younger sister, Zanfina Ismajli, who is also a singer.
