Who is Alis?
Alis Kallaci, known professionally as Alis, is an Albanian singer and songwriter. He rose to national fame in 2024 after winning the fifth season of Albanian X Factor. This is not his first appearance at Festivali i Këngës — last year he competed with the song “Mjegull”, finishing in third place.
The song “Nân” is written and performed in Albanian. According to Alis, it is “a ballad for awaiting mothers, for children who leave, and for an eternal love that exists beyond time and distance.” A deeply emotional entry, the song focuses on universal themes of love, separation, and family bonds.
