Raif Hyseni, originally from the Republic of Kosova (which recently declared its independence from the Serbia after 100 years), leads the most sought-after Albanian music ensemble in the United States. Together their performances offer masterful interpretations of instrumentals and urban folk songs from both Albania and the Republic of Kosovo.
