"Sofra Konispolate" in the magical nights of nationwide songs and dances

"Sofra Konispolate" in the magical nights of nationwide songs and

Konispoli, the southernmost city of Albania, known by all adults and children who know where it is as soon as they start talking. They know because it is the city where our country is divided with the neighboring country, Greece. Konispoli is not only famous for patriotism, nobility, the development of agriculture, citrus plantations and livestock, but also for art and culture. Bright minds of pen and brush have emerged from this region, outstanding intellectuals who have enlightened the centuries-old history of this region. Much has been said and written about the picturesque city, which lies on hills and lawns and surprises you with its whiteness and greenery. Along with the sea, with forts and castle houses, every visitor who stays here is in for a dizzying surprise as he finds it all here. The kindness of people. Love for beauty and the sun that rises and never sets. Sunny all year round. His forehead is illuminated by the rays of the sun. His back shines, the light of the moon. Joni's cheek caresses her cheeks. Freshness is provided by Saraqindi, Narta and ?uka e Ajtoi. At every step you meet the story. From the castle of Buari to the tracts of the ancient walls in the Stistma Pass. A little higher, the prehistoric Cave of Kreshmoi. The crowns of the mountains are like crowns of glory and grace. If you said Konispol, you talked about the heights he climbed. Speaking of the consulates, you have embroidered the portrait of the citizen with hands and sacrifice. Named farmers and breeders, who night and day find among the oranges and tangerines as the petals open until the fruits are soaked with the silver of the setting sun. It is the tangerine that affects the continent's geography. Late autumn transforms Konispoli and the fields by the river Pavllo into the Mecca of the south, where hundreds of vehicles with license plates from dozens of countries step on the country roads to be loaded with the "Made in Konispoli" product. But here it is not only the advanced agriculture, nor the tangerine plots, resembling the hanging gardens of Luxembourg, that distinguish Konispol. Another, almost epic dimension that harmonizes with life and evokes emotions to the point of tears is art. Especially the songs and dances that come from the depths of the centuries and continue to nurture present and future generations. This folklore is exactly the heart of Konispol. Spirit and the ruby ??that shines and gives life to life itself. It is the spiritual beauty that springs from the depths of the human being. The eternity of the consuls, who loved song and dance more than bread. Coming down to the center of the city of Konispol, the mythical character that has memorized centuries-old stories is the maple tree. This maple is the personification of the city itself. They have seen it magnificent. Branched. Among the storms that shake them down to the huge trunk, but also with the branches cut from years of age. Yes, he stands like Anteus and rustles the leaves and branches with the melody of life. Here, under this maple, the people of this ancient city met. Faith has been forged and grand assemblies have been held. Future destinies are determined.Right here, the patriot and dancer Osman Taka danced against death in front of the rope and surrounded by janissaries. The Turkish Pasha rose to his feet with the elegance and heavenly rhythm of his steps on the holy ground. This dance is remembered as a challenge to death. It is the epic dance which will live on for generations, exciting and enthusing the consipalates and not only, but the whole country up to the north of Albania. It is the dance of Osman Taka, which would be exalted by a corypha of the Taip Madani dance, which, as the "Great Master" said during the "Consipolate Table" ranks next to the greats Agron Aliaj. Rexhep Celiku and Lili Cingu. The dance danced by Taip Madani at the National Festival of Gjirokastra was the pearl that took the top of the crown in the folklore necklace in this Castle. The dancers and singers of Konispol are countless. Hand in hand with Taipi is the elegance and finesse of consular girls. The dancers, Besnike Mullaj, Trando Beqiri Lame, Hava Papara, Shpëtime Papara, are known to come to the folk days of May to young girls and boys, still high school students in Konispol. The dance and song of the girls and boys of Konispol, these twins of the Konispol soul, grew and climbed to the pedestal of the outstanding traditions of this three with a voice in the entire space of the Albanian nation. The brilliant voices of Velo and Nevruz Beqiri, Vesel Kamberi, Alush Dora and dozens of others have enthused and filled generations with emotion over the years. The folklore groups of Konispol, hand in hand from Vrina. Xarra, Shëndelliu, Mursia by the lake and among the greenery, Shkalla e Çifliku. Shalësi, Vërva, Dishati, Markati, Ninati to Janjari, the largest lake in the south of the country, have embroidered the art of song and dance with elegance and spirit, with love and pride, which they have climbed to the top of achievements as in all other areas of life.The dance and song of the girls and boys of Konispol, these twins of the Konispol soul, grew and climbed to the pedestal of the outstanding traditions of this three with a voice in the entire space of the Albanian nation.

Sofra që shkëlqeu nën dritën e hënës dhe pikat e vesës

Në datat 17 dhe 18 maj sheshi i kuruar mrekullisht, i pastër si drita, i ndriçuar nga prozhektorët e shumëngjyrësh priti në një podium ndërtuar në pjesën më të  hijshme të sheshit në godinat e ristrukturuara në kuadër të qendrave të rigjeneruara të qyteteve, ditën e parë u grupet folklorike të nxënësve të shkollave. Interpretimet e tyre ishin brilante. Mesazhi? Traditat jetojnë ndër breza që vijnë dhe stafeta kalon nga brezi në brez. Kënga dhe vallja, veç lartësohen e ngjiten më lartë. E shtuna e datës 18 ishte kulmi i “Sofrës Konispolate” . E organizuar me shumë dashuri,  e mbështetur pa asnjë rezervë nga Kryetari i Bashkisë, Ergest Dule, i cili për ditë e netë të tëra, bashkë me ekipin e tij të organizimit ndoqi me seriozitet çdo detaj deri tek njoftimet, ftesat,udhëtimet, mjetet që do sillnin grupet folklorike në qytetin më jugor për të shpalosur këngët e vallet brilante, xhevahiret e mbajtur thellë në shpirt si pajat e nuseve në sepete ndër shekuj. Ergesti u interesua që Konispoli për dy netë të ftonte në podiumin e këngës dhe valles, grupin e Tropojës, ata djem dhe vajza shtatëselvi  me ritmet dhe hapat sikur të trokisnin në histori. Çiftelia jehoi dhe tingujt u përhapën ngado ndër male dhe valët e detit karshi. Nga Kalabria erdhi grupi simpatik, duke sjellë në Konispol hijeshinë dhe ngrohtësinë e atyre që shekuj më parë kapërcyen detin dhe u vendosën në Italinë fqinje. Arbëreshët sollën hijeshinë e freskinë. Asambli i këngëve dhe valleve nga Podojeva dhe Plava e Gucia i dhanë sofrës konispolate dimensione kombëtare. Kryetari i bashkisë thotë se sofrës nuk duhet t’i mungonte  Saranda e Delvina, tërë fshatrat e bashkise, ansambli Vlorës, djemtë valltarë që interpretuan vallen e Osman Takës blatuar korifeut të kësaj treve, Taip Madanit. Sofra e folklorit ishte e kuruar deri në detaje. Vangjel Taho, i ngarkuar me kulturën se zinte vendi, se kërkonte patjetër që eventi të shkëlqente. Aq i merakosur ishte kryetari i bashkisë sa brenda ditës shkoi në Divjakë në takim me Bankën Botërore për të diskutuar për zgjerimin e skemës së ujitjes nga liqeni i Janjarit sa u kthye me shpejtësi për t’iu bashkuar festës së folklorit. Nuk mund të mos priteshin me nderime “Zëri i Birbilit” grupi i njohur, këngëtarët i iso polifonisë së Delvinës, të cilët i shoqëronte, Kryetari i Bashkisë, Besmir Veliu,  ansambli i Himarës, që entuziazmoi tërë pjesëmarrësit. Duartrokitje pa fund. Emocione dhe lot gëzimi që t’i japin vetëm këngët dhe vallet e shpirtit të popullit. Organizatorët e emërtuan “Sofra konispolate”. Qytetarët e trevës e etiketuan sofra e mrekullive të këngëve dhe valleve tradicionale. Një sofër, që i mungonte prej vitesh në këto përmasa,vallja dhe kënga në  Konispol. Sofra që u shkri nga podiumi në shesh Kërcehej në skenë dhe qytetarët, të rinjtë kërcenin në shesh. Këndohej në podium, kënga vazhdonte në shesh. As nuk mund të dalloje profesionistët e podiumit nga qytetarët amatorë. Ky bashkërendim, kjo sinergji i dha sofrës së folklorit përmasat e tërë qytetit. Skena, këtu mes popullit u bë një podium i stërmadh. Vajza dhe djem, fëmijë dhe nxënës deri edhe të mitur interpretonin nën dritën e prozhektorëve pothuaj njëlloj me profesionistët. Përmbi pllakat e sheshit dhe në pjesën e gjelbëruar u këndua dhe kërcye. Konispolatët dhe tërë pjesëmarrësit u induktuan nga entuziazmi i podiumit dhe i’u bashkuan deri në shkrirje asaj atmosfere. Kjo tregoi sa dëshirë kanë qytetarët të festojnë, të gëzojnë, të këndojnë e hedhin valle. Sa të ndjeshëm dhe të dashuruar janë me traditat e artit shpirtëror, me folklorin tonë brilant. I tërë Konispoli dhe fshtrat përreth ishin bashkë me krahët e shtrira si shqiponja në flamurin tonë kombëtar.  Organizim gati si kombëtar. Nuk e teprojmë të themi se “Sofra Konispolate” i kapërceu kufijtë e kësaj treve. Në këtë sofër ku u derdhën dallgët e shpirtit popullor erdhën dinjitetshëm tërë trevat e kombit tonë. Sofra u bë edhe më e madhe dhe menuja artistike shumë më e gjerë. Dorë përdore nga Plava e Gucia, nga Durrësi e Podojeva, nga Kalabria e shqiptarëve, që kanë mbajtur gjallë shpirtin shqiptar dhe gjuhën shqipe, nga delvinjotët e himariotët, çamët e Vlorës që e duan vallen e këngët nga tërë bashkia e Konispolit dhe qyteti i Sarandës. Sofra u bë nga e Konispolit  në kombëtare. U këndua kënga me motive çame. I’u këndua Muharrem Rushitit nga Hidua i Markatit, u kërcye nga balerina e vogël si një zanë e shtojzovalle apo nimfë e sapodalë nga liqeni i artit. U kënduan edhe këngë në gjuhën greke, si një mesazh se shqiptarë e minoritarë jemi një dhe të pandarë. Do kalojnë vite, do organizohen sofra të tjera. Do shtohen pjesëmarrësit. Po sofra e 17 dhe 18 majit  2024 do mbetet qershia mbi tortën e folkut të popullit, shpirtit të tij të madh dhe organizatorët e ideuesit, të gjithë ata që i’u bashkuan me shpirt këtij organizimi siç ishte edhe bija Koqinajve, sociologia që punon në Tiranë e dhjetëra të tjerë do thuhet: Ishin ata që hapën siparin e sofrës konispolate. Dhe do thonë: Bravo, hapët një portë të parajsës shpirtërore të këngës dhe valles.
