Xhamadani vija vija
Xhamadan of Isa Boletini, an Albanian freedom fighter of early 20th century
The song Xhamadani vija vija, (English: Striped xhamadan), composed in 1993, by Zef Çoba evokes national feelings of unity among Albania and Kosovo, under a common garment, the xhamadan. The song envisions the union of Albania and Kosovo,[1] and is used as a symbol for the fans of Albania's National football team, and was even adopted as the official anthem of the national team by Italian-Albanian coach Gianni de Biasi.[2]
