Biography

Nexhmije Pagarusha was born in the small village of Pagaruša (Pagarusha in Albanian), near the town of Mališevo, in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (today in Kosovo). She finished the primary school in Mališevo and then went to Belgrade, where she attended three years in the school of music, in the solo canto section.

She began her music career as a singer for Radio Pristina in 1948.

Her musical creative work lasted for almost 40 years, and it is very hard to say, which genre she belongs to, because she sang almost all of them. Her interpretations in folk music were exactly as perfect as her interpretations in the classic music, especially opera.

Pagarusha was loved by the music critics and adored from the music admires. She was called Bilbili i Kosovës (Nightingale Of Kosovo), queen of the Albanian music, Madam Butterfly, etc.

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. She led several tours with the music ensemble Shota in these countries, and also in Israel.

In her country she gained the title Këngëtare e shekullit (Singer of the century).

The song Baresha (Heardswoman) is one of her most popular songs. It was composed by her husband, Rexho Mulliqi and the text was written by Rifat Kukaj.

Pagarusha played in many theater stages and movies and also as an actress she won many prizes.

She ended her music career in 1984 after holding a huge concert in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In 2000 she sang a song called Për ty ("For you") in an Albanian TV show, after 16 years of absence.

Now she works as a senior adviser for music in Radio Kosova and in Radio Blue Sky, both located in Pristina.
