According to Hodaj, the post-war period marked the most difficult time for organizing the festival. Hundreds of families in Gjonaj were left living in tents in the early 2000s, after about 800 houses were burned down.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, in 2000, the community made efforts to revive the festival with support from the German KFOR, which helped build a wooden stage. In 2001, the festival expanded to a regional level and became an annual event. Since 2022, Hasi Jehon has been declared a State Protected Asset \u2014 a status that recognizes its importance in preserving the country\u2019s cultural identity. The festival is financed by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports and the Municipality of Prizren, with additional support from private donors.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-47f68f2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"47f68f2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1d52cd2\" data-id=\"1d52cd2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e736ef7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e736ef7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FLM-K2.0_HasiJehoni.Dilaver_Kryeziu.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-118206\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FLM-K2.0_HasiJehoni.Dilaver_Kryeziu.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FLM-K2.0_HasiJehoni.Dilaver_Kryeziu-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FLM-K2.0_HasiJehoni.Dilaver_Kryeziu-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FLM-K2.0_HasiJehoni.Dilaver_Kryeziu-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FLM-K2.0_HasiJehoni.Dilaver_Kryeziu-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FLM-K2.0_HasiJehoni.Dilaver_Kryeziu-326x217.jpg 326w, https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FLM-K2.0_HasiJehoni.Dilaver_Kryeziu-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a7801e0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a7801e0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-785cb67\" data-id=\"785cb67\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a75540f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a75540f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kryeziu, the artistic director and a renowned name in the field of choreography, collaborates with a team each year to select ensembles that meet the festival\u2019s criteria, ensuring high-quality performances.

In this edition, a total of 44 dance performances were presented by various ensembles.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The groups waited for their turn to take the stage.

Over the shirt, she wore a black vest adorned with gold piping and red details, while a traditional red scarf with colorful flowers was tied around her head.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kolgjeraj, 57, has been involved with the ensemble for most of her life. \u201cAfter the war, I revived the ensemble by gathering the old members I knew from before, and I\u2019ve continually included new generations, teaching them all the customs and traditions,\u201d she says. However, she expresses concern about the difficulty of maintaining the ensemble with the same members due to the migration of young men and women from Zym, either to urban areas or abroad, as well as a growing lack of interest in joining the group.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

The film is set in 1930s Albania, on the eve of the Italian invasion in 1939. Halit Berati, portrayed by actor Bujar Lako, is a clarinetist and oil worker who faces pressure to abandon traditional Albanian music in favor of Italian fascist-era melodies. This attempt to control Albanian culture is met with Halit\u2019s firm refusal. Through his performances, he resists and preserves cultural identity. At the Hasi Jehon festival, the performance of Halit Berati\u2019s kaba also feels like an act of resistance \u2014 a continued insistence on preserving cultural heritage.<\/span><\/p><p><b>From the lute to touching the sky with one\u2019s hand<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stage of Hasi Jehon changed ensembles day after day.

I got upset and decided to learn it, and now, after 20 years of never parting from it, I\u2019m teaching it to my great-grandchild,\u201d says Hajdari.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hajdari wore traditional attire from the Rugova region: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tirqi, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the traditional woolen pants, a vest and a scarf tied around his waist, with a Rugova <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">qallm\u00eb<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on his head. The two of them stepped onto the stage, Hajdari approached the microphone, placed one hand behind his ear and began shouting loudly in the Rugova style. \u201cI\u2019m honored to be here, brothers from Has \u2014 a great celebration, \u2018Hasi Jehon!\u2019\u201d He raised his voice so much that everyone turned their heads toward the stage, anyone distracted by their phone screen was startled.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he finished, Osmani began telling an anecdote, weaving in the words of elders with reflections on current events. With the alternation of lutes and anecdotes, their performance brought a welcome variety to the stage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As they left the stage to applause, other dancers from the Anamorava Cultural Center in Vitia were getting ready.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getuar Sadiku, 16, and Meriton Xheladini, 17, were preparing for the duet dance of Karadak and Anamorava. Sadiku has been part of the cultural center since the age of 10, while Xheladini joined just a year ago.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI saw them dancing on TV once and thought, why not join in? Today I feel great seeing the audience waiting for us like this,\u201d says Xheladini. Both he and Sadiku agree that, at family gatherings and weddings, they are now always the first to start dancing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They both follow the lead of Bardhyl Osmani, the main soloist of the traditional men\u2019s dance from Karadak. Unlike the other dancers in white shirts, Osmani wore a black shirt that made his red vest, crafted from black corduroy, stand out even more. He has been dancing since the age of 10.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dance begins with the men standing side by side, kept in sync by the steady rhythm of the drum. As the rhythm shifts slightly and brief pauses mark the transitions, Osmani steps into action. Taking the hand of the friend beside him, he moves to the center of the stage with only the drum accompanying him. While leaping into the air, his partner grabs his arm and he lands dramatically on the stage, striking the floor with his hand in time with the drumbeat.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
