Career
Eneda Tarifa began her career in 2001, making her debut by participating in the Kënga Magjike music festival with the song “Ika larg.” This marked the beginning of her journey in Albania’s competitive music scene.
She continued to participate in various music festivals over the years, gradually building her reputation as a rising star in the Albanian music industry. Tarifa’s early involvement in Kënga Magjike helped set the stage for her future success.
In 2003, she returned to the stage at Festivali i Këngës 42 with the song “Qëndroj.” This time, she managed to qualify for the final, showcasing her growing popularity and vocal talent.
The participation in this festival further solidified her position as a respected artist in the Albanian music scene. Over the years, she became known for her captivating performances and emotional delivery of songs, which resonated with the audience.
Tarifa’s career continued to gain momentum, and in 2006, she once again took part in Kënga Magjike with the song “Rreth zjarrit tënd.” She finished in 4th place with an impressive 154 points and was also awarded the Çesk Zadeja Prize.
This achievement further cemented her status as a leading figure in the Albanian music industry. The following year, in 2007, she competed in Festivali i Këngës 46 with the song “E para letër” and placed tenth in the final, earning 11 points. This was a notable achievement given the competition’s difficulty.
In 2008, Eneda returned to Kënga Magjike once more with the song “Zëri im,” where she earned 577 points, reaffirming her consistent popularity in the Albanian music scene. By 2010, she participated in Top Fest with the song “Me veten,” and her performance won her the top prize in the competition.

After a brief hiatus, Eneda Tarifa made her return to Festivali i Këngës in 2015 with the song “Përrallë.” Her return was triumphant as she won the competition and earned the chance to represent Albania at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016, held in Stockholm, Sweden.
