Nexhmije Pagarusha (born 7 May 1933) is a popular Albanian vocalist, musician and actress from Kosovo, often referred to as the queen of Albanian music. Her musical creative work lasted for almost 40 years, and due to the contrast in genres she performed in, it's not easy to limit Pagarusha as a specific type of singer. Her interpretations in folk music were exactly as perfect as her interpretations in the classic music, especially opera. She gained great popularity not just in her own country but also in other European countries, such as Albania, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria etc. Pagarusha is loved by the music critics and adored from the music admirers. She ended her music career in 1984 after holding a huge concert in Sarajevo.
