Pirro Çako

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pirro Çako is an Albanian artist born in Tirana to Gaqo and Luiza Çako, tenor and soprano respectively. He is known as a composer and singer.

He graduated from Academy of Arts at Tirana and later went to Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris to get his degree for film music composing.

His duet with Rovena Dilo "Për një çast më ndali zemra" is one of his great performances, for what he is popular among the Albanian World. In the meantime, "E duam lumturinë", a song written by Çako, won the Albanian Song Contest 1988 and has now transformed into an anthem of the children [1].

Pirro published his first album Herët a vonë (Soon or Late) in June 2004. It contains 15 songs, solos and duos with Rovena Dilo, Mariza Ikonomi, Redon Makashi as well as Pirro's wife Inva Mula, a well-known soprano. Albanian and foreigners who rushed to purchase a copy have found the album attractive.

The recent work has been published on the second album Mos më krahaso (Don't Compare Me), a set of 12 songs, including the joyful "Letër Dashurie".
