Albania: Watch Hersi performing at OGAE Italy Convention 2014

Hersi Matmuja lives since years in Rome and won last year in December the 'Festivali i Këngës'.

Last Saturday the lovely Albanian singer was invited from OGAE Italy to their Convention 2014.

"It was a special weekend with the OGAE Italy friends. I was very happy to share with them my Eurovision experience and my emotions after Eurovision. For these occasion I choose some special songs that I usually sing when I'm alone or just for my closed people. They are so special..." she said after the event. 

OGAE Italy shared Hersi's performances on youtube - here are some highlights:

"Hello everyone, I am VERY sorry I will not be able to be with you at the Eurovision Gala Night this evening! ;( There was unfortunately no way I could make it although we tried to shift everything… At the same time I am very happy that Loreen will be there with you!!! All the best for a fantastic evening although I would have loved to be with you! Love from Austria, Conchita "
