In the most difficult, embarrassing, saddest moments, the most therapeutic thing is humor. Traffic is blocked, the city is empty, people are getting sick day by day, we are stuck at home and maybe we are separated from our partners with so much time we spend with them. Let's think of something else, something easier.
Deni Hoxha posted a work of art on Twitter. Technically it's a playlist on Spotify, but qualifies as art. It's called Albanian Corona and starts with "Alo Alo Ambulance" by Sinan Hoxha, follows "You're the Cure for the Sick" by Ylli Baka, "Distance" by Gjiko and ends with "Medication" by Shpat Kasapi and "Life Head Sprov" by Gold AG. All the other songs in the album have some reference to illness, medicine, death, suffering, doubt and touch. As we said, art. We knew that Albanian music was very humble, but not so.
Musicians sing to connect spiritually with the listener in all-encompassing situations. Apart from love and sharing, it seems that the pandemic is quite present in the songs.
