\n[ Inva Mula<\/strong> ]
\nInva Mula (born 1963, in Tirana) is an Albanian, internationally renowned soprano singer. She’s the daughter of Avni Mula<\/strong> (1928-2020), who was also a musician and composer, born 1928, in Gjakova, Kosovo. Inva Mula studied singing and piano in her native city, Tirana. In 1987, in the “Singer of Albania” competition, she won the 1st prize. Some years later, she was the prize-winner in Bucharest, Romania, in 1991 (George Enescu Competition). After that Inva would go on to win other awards in the various competitions, notably the Grand Prix Madame Butterfly in Barcelona<\/em>, in May 1992, and the next year 1993, the Concours International de Voix d’Opera Placido Domingo<\/em> in Paris. <\/p>\n

Inva Mula is also best known as the “voice” of the Diva Plavalaguna, in the 1997 film directed by Luc Besson, The Fifth Element<\/em>. She performed the aria “Il dolce suono<\/strong>” from the mad scene of Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and “The Diva Dance<\/strong>“. <\/p>\n

Since 1992-93, her soprano career was full of performances, of course, her repertoire is extensive and world-renowned. But in 2013 Inva released an album titled “P\u00ebr Ty Atdhe<\/strong>” (For You Fatherand), I dare to think as if it was some kind of “special” album, or at the very least, the most “patriotically charged” album ever : )<\/p>\n

It was recorded in Slovenia and all the songs are like: P\u00ebr Ty Atdhe (For You Fatherland<\/em>), Dua M\u00eb Shum\u00eb Shqip\u00ebrin\u00eb (I Love Albania More<\/em>), P\u00ebr M\u00ebm\u00ebdhen\u00eb (For the Motherland – cause in Albanian you can say Fatherland or Motherland, both terms are correct, depending contextually<\/em>), Agimet Shqiptare (Albanian Dawns<\/em>), O Moj e Bukura Arb\u00ebri (Oh Beautiful Arberia<\/em>), Hej Ju Male (Hey You Mountains<\/em>), Alfabeti Shqip (Albanian Alphabet<\/em>), Shqip\u00ebri Vendi Im (Albania, My Country<\/em>), Himni i Flamurit (Flag Anthem<\/em>), Un\u00eb Biri Yt Kosov\u00eb (I, Your Son, Kosovo<\/em>) – which, I think, it was a tribute to her father. More or less, perhaps, the whole album was a tribute to her father (at that time still alive, he died 7 years later, in 2020).<\/p>\n

Her father, Avni Mula<\/strong> was young when his family moved from Kosovo, in northern Albania (from Gjakova to Shkod\u00ebr). After World War II, Inva’s father moved again to Tirana. From there he would “move” again temporarily, he got the chance to study at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, where he graduated in 1957. While studying in Russia, there he found his love Nina (a Russian woman from Izhevsk). Thus, Inva’s mother was Nina Mula<\/strong> (1931-2011).
