Die albanische Rockmusik beschreibt eine musikalische Sparte in Albanien, der Republik Kosovo und anderen albanischsprachigen Nationen welche sich stilistisch betrachtet mit der westlichen Rockmusik vergleichen lässt. Inzwischen haben sich in Albanien auch eine Heavy-Metal-, eine Punk-, eine Alternative-Rock-, sowie eine Death-Metal- und eine Black-Metal-Szene entwickelt. Die albanische Rockmusik startete zunächst im Kosovo. Als Vorreiterbands gelten die Gruppen Gjurmët[1], Lindja[2] und später Jericho.[3] Heute gelten die Bands Asgjë Sikur Dielli, Por-no[4], Cute Babulja[5], Blla Blla Blla, Bojken Lako, CROSSBONES, Bloody Foreigners und Retrovizorja[6] als bekannteste Gruppen der dortigen Rock- bzw. Metalsze. In Albanien wurde das erste Rockkonzer 1989 von Aleksander Gjoka organisiert. Die ersten Rockbands gründeten sich nach dem Kollaps des Kommunismus in Albanien. Ein paar der bekanntesten albanischen Rockbands sind Akullthyesit (erstes Album "Lindja e Ujkut"), Albatros, Grupi X, sowie die Sänger Gjergj Jorgaqi und Redon Makashi. Das erste auf CD aufgenommene Album erschien 1997 unter dem Namen Days of Rage. Die Gruppe, welche die CD produzierte hieß CROSSBONES.[7]
Brief history
Yugoslavian influence among Albanians in Kosovo was also present in rock music[8]. The first known Albanian rock band was called Blue Star appeared in 1964 in Pristina, later they renamed it to Modestët[9]. In the beginning of the 70's, rock music stage present in Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovo (then Yugoslavia) was made of both Serbian and Albanian bands. Some of these bands, like MAK[10] had both Albanian and Serbian musicians. Another bi-ethnic band was FAN also based in Mitrovica.
Pristina was the most important city for Albanian rock music during the 80's. In the mainstream circles Gjurmët (founded 1981) were among favorites. Their combination of rock with "muzikë qytetare" laid the foundation of Albanian rock. Other known bands that formed during this period were Ilirët, 403, Telex, Seleksioni 039, Minatori and Menkis. On the other hand, the underground music was more leaning towards punk. Most notable underground rock/punk band of Pristina in the 80s was Lindja with its lead musician Luan Osmani (lead guitar). The beginning of the 90's introduced other rock bands and individuals that played mainly in Kosovo like Troja, Dardan Shkreli, Blla blla blla and Elita 5 (from Macedonia).
In Albania the most prominent rock bands and individuals only appeared after 1990. Before that period rock music was prohibited. Although youth groups found ways to listen it through clandestine channels[11]. Bojken Lako is considered as one of the most influential rock musicians in Albania{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}}.
During parallel governance (1989–1999) and after the 1999 war in Kosovo several new bands emerged, among which most famous are Diadema, KEK, 7me7, The Hithat, Cute Babulja, Por-no, Gre3n, Retrovizorja.
In Macedonia the main Albanian rock/punk band is considered Blla Blla Blla founded in 1998[12]. Their influence can be seen not only in Albanian but also in Macedonian rock music.
