Sonata

[DancingIzzy]

Originally this is for sure not an Albanian song. The music is 'Tango to Evora' composed by Loreena Mckennitt, an Irish Canadian. The song was later translated into different languages.

Great Alb song , nice dancing too :)

[musadeladanza]

Bella muy bella coreografía. Gracias

[kopianan]

Love the dance. I don't think any Albanians would mind it being used for such a purpose.

Bravo

That's marvellous indeed!!! I enjoy dancing "Sonata" that you choreographed very much!! Not only the music is nice, but the steps are also easy to follow and perfectly match with the music~ Hope that I will have time to take a look at your other dance videos soon~Just a little bit off topic. do you travel to other countries to give classes as well??

HUM!! NOT ALBANIAN...NOT ISRAELI... NOT GREEK..... sorry, the song is Tango to Evora... composed by Loreena McKinnitt - on her 1991 album... She is Canadian from Manitoba of irish and scotish descent.... And it's been made into a song in many countries and in many languages... and here, into a nice dance of obviously israeli folklore inflence... but I could choreographe another one and make it french canadian... Music inspires, enjoy and let your soul be touched !

This is a song composed on the 15th or 16th century by the ARBERESHET (Albanians), that live in the region of Calabria (South Italy) since the otoman empire invaded Albania. Sorry guys, but that's an Albanian beautiful music !!!!

[lesposen]

For those unhappy with the Albanian music being used, a version of the song in Hebrew is also available.

[Koureas]

Hebrew? You mean Greek, the author is Greek. See youtube, Haris Alexiou-To tango tis Nefelis

[kosovoseals]

It's 100% Albanian this song.

USA+Albanians+Isreal = Brothers
