Albania has released the revamped version of 'Kërce Me Mua', the song with which 12-year-old Eslin Kurti will represent the country at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Malta.
The new version was officially unveiled by Albanian broadcaster RTSH, giving listeners their latest look at the entry ahead of this year’s competition in Ta’ Qali.
'Kërce Me Mua', meaning 'Dance With Me', will be performed by Eslin Kurti, a young singer from the coastal city of Durrës whose musical journey began at an early age.
Meet Eslin Kurti
Despite her young age, Eslin has already built an extensive artistic background, with achievements at both national and international level.
She has been studying piano, while also receiving training in music theory, vocals and stage interpretation. These different areas of musical education have contributed to the development of her artistic identity and performance skills.
Music, however, is far from Eslin’s only creative outlet. She also plays the guitar, dances, paints and enjoys reading, while volleyball is among her favourite activities outside the arts.
For Eslin, these interests are another way of exploring her creativity and maintaining the energy she brings to the stage.
Albania heads to Malta
With the revamped 'Kërce Me Mua' now available, Eslin Kurti’s Junior Eurovision journey enters its next stage as Albania prepares to take the song to the Maltese stage.
The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2026 will take place at Ta’ Qali, Malta, bringing together young performers from participating countries for this year’s competition.
