I feel every medium of art needs to heal to some degree. It can't live in it's own void, and this came from my earliest experiences as a young refugee.

Masiela LushaI know that there's this one Albanian myth that's always reflected on, and I think it reflects on the actual core culture. That myth is called The Besa. B-E-S-A.

So if you give someone your besa, life or death, heaven or hell, you have to fulfill that besa.
