She gave many concerts during the '30s-'50s, becoming an icon of the urban lyrical music in Albania.

Together with the pianist Lola Gjoka, she is interpreted urban songs as U mbush mali plot me dushk (The mountain became full of oak trees), As aman moj lule (Please you flower), Erdh' prandvera plot lule (The spring came full of flowers), Kroj i fshatit tonë (Spring of our village), Kur më shkoje lumit goce (When you went along the river my girl), etc.
