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

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 !!!!

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.

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??
