She is one of the most popular commercial singers
among ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, Albania,
Macedonia and Montenegro. Today Leonora lives in
Kosovo's capital Prishtina. She lost her father
during the Kosovo war (1998-1999); he was killed
by the Yugoslav security forces. Her repertoire
includes a wide variety of material including
commercial pop and patriotic songs. She is not
married.
Her most popular song, without any doubt, is “Can
innocence be killed?”(A vritet pafajsia?)
published in 1998 while Leonora was a war refugee
in Albania. She dedicated the song to her father
and other Albanians who died during the Kosovo
war.
Leonora every year in the beginning of March in
Drenica sings her song "Can innocence be killed?"
in tribute to the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and
KLA-commander Adem Jashari. In an interview with
RTK (Kosovo's public broadcaster) she said this
was an obligation for her since she lost her
father during the Kosovo war and according to her
he was a member of KLA.
Leonora says she does not know why her album
number two "Sahara and Roe deer" has this name.
According to her she sold the rights to a record
label who decided the name of the album.
Leonora once had a younger sister Lindita who died
in the Kosovo wars as well. The remainings of her
family is her mother and older brother.
