Elsa Lila is a citizen of the world. At first glance, her identity card describes a girl born in Albania and raised in Italy, but talking about just dual nationality does not do her justice.

At 25 years old, Elsa is already a cosmopolitan, due to her numerous experiences abroad – from the United States to China, going through Europe, above all Italy– as well as to her boundless personality. An artist at 360 degrees, Elsa is capable of passing smoothly from the theatre stage to singing, thanks to a unique artistic gene she possesses.

Elsa’s father was a singer of the former Albanian State Choir, her mother a violinist. Her parents raised her on theatre and music, nourishing in her a strong passion for the arts and an exceptional talent which flourished quite brightly. The young and extrovert girl of today has been on the limelight since her childhood, as she owned the spotlight in the Albanian State Television shows. From there, her career was a continuous and precocious success surprising the public and music experts worldwide. While in her teens, she won the Albanian National Song Contest two years in a row, followed by many experiences abroad where she has always drawn attention and admiration.

She owes her success to a rare voice and an extraordinary stage presence, but also to her exuberant and straightforward personality. Having already participated at the Sanremo Festival Youth Contest in 2003, Elsa is ready to return to the Ariston Theatre to unfold her talent and her accomplished artistic maturity.

Objective: to promote herself artistically through a particularly involving song entitled “The sense of life”, music by Maurizio Fabrizio and lyrics by Guido Morra. Elsa will readily touch our hearts with this piece, as we have learned to expect from her remarkable performances.
