Cifteli

Cifteli is a traditional folk music genre from Albania. It is characterized by its use of two stringed instruments, the cifteli and the lahuta. The cifteli is a plucked string instrument similar to a mandolin, while the lahuta is a long-necked lute. The music is typically played in a fast tempo and is often accompanied by singing and dancing. The lyrics of Cifteli songs often tell stories of love, loss, and patriotism.
