"Sunny Hill Festival", the voice from Prishtina that is being heard around the world

Quite a few young people are seen on the streets of Pristina with pink ribbons on their wrists.

They are the first to give the image of "Sunny Hill Festival". With the fall of dusk, they become frequent, even on foot on the "Nazim Gafurri" road, which leads to the "Gërmia" park. There, right at the entrance, there are thousands of people waiting not for the sunset, but for the appearance of the music stars. Such a "pilgrimage" started already on Friday, with the second edition of the festival.

That morning, on the stage of the 41-hectare park, she was doing her final rehearsals quite calmly and effortlessly. Dressed in a pair of jeans and a short white T-shirt, the 26-year-old from Tennessee was singing Led Zeppelin's song, "Black Dog" and her latest hit, "The Most", writes Koha Ditore.

Almost 12 hours later, ten minutes after midnight, her impressive presentation was the highlight of the first night of "Sunny Hill". Just like her hit "Wrecking ball" made six years ago, her entire performance with a repertoire of 13 songs for almost forty minutes was accompanied by the joint singing of the audience who knew all the lyrics of the American singer by heart. Such an atmosphere was not missing even on the second night with the Albanian-American rap artist Gashi.

"Honored to be playing tonight at the 'Sunny Hill Festival' and attending a party with my friend, Dua Lipa. Before Kosovo!", Cyrus wrote on "Instagram" a few hours before going on stage.

Cyrus has captured the headlines of the world media with her performance in Pristina, as she was expected to participate in the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival, but that was canceled days before.

A special moment, which ignited the public in "Gërmi", was the performance of Dolly Parton's iconic hit "Jolene", which song Cyrus performed again this year at the "Grammy" award ceremony at Staples Center.

"I think I'm the first international artist to come here. The people here are wonderful. We have one thing in common: we all love music", Cyrus addressed the audience. She also sang her other hits such as "We Can't Stop", "Party in the USA", "Nothing breaks like a heart" and "Can't Be Tamed". The public proved to him that he was right that "everyone loves music"...
