Kosovo is a dynamic destination where tradition meets modern creativity, and its vibrant calendar of events reflects the country’s youthful energy and rich cultural roots. Among the standout happenings is Sunny Hill Festival in Pristina, a world-class music event founded by global pop icon Dua Lipa, which brings top international artists and thousands of fans to the capital each summer. Also gaining traction is NGOM Fest in Prizren, where music, nature, and activism come together in a unique blend, set against the stunning backdrop of the Sharr Mountains. For cinema lovers, the Dokufest International Documentary and Short Film Festival is a must-attend — turning the historic city of Prizren into a lively hub of film screenings, workshops, and late-night riverfront gatherings.
Kosovo also proudly celebrates its deep-rooted cultural heritage through events that honor its history and traditions. The Etno Fest in Kukaj village revives traditional rural life with folk music, artisanal crafts, and local cuisine in an authentic mountain setting. Meanwhile, Anibar Animation Festival in Peja showcases the power of animated storytelling, bringing together artists and audiences from across Europe. Whether you’re drawn by the sounds of global music, the depth of Balkan tradition, or the energy of emerging creatives, Kosovo’s events offer a fresh and unforgettable way to experience its unique identity and warm hospitality.

OBORRI is a duo/band formed in 2014 in Prishtina, Kosovo, by Arbër Salihu and Tomor Kuçi. Kuçi was the frontman and multi-instrumentalist of the band The Freelancers, with whom he performed in various globally renowned festivals and venues such as: Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary; Melkweg Theatre in Amsterdam, Netherlands; Exit Music Festival in Novi Sad, Serbia. The Freelancers released the album “N’Kuti” (In the Box) in 2012.
Both Salihu and Kuçi were part of Genc Salihu’s live band, and were an integral part of the short-lived reunion of the iconic band “Cute Babulja”. Together with Genc Salihu, they won the award for “Best Original Score” in Sapporo Short Film Festival in Japan for their original music composed for the film “The Canaries Know” (2014). Salihu and Kuçi also serve as producers for the young and promising artist Edona Vatoci.
Voyaging effortlessly through various genres and styles, OBORRI depicts a colorful & lyrical yet introvert universe of two boys from Prishtina, amidst a turbulent and divided society.
With a 14-song eponymous album released on 30 August 2017, written, performed, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered largely by the duo themselves, OBORRI now bring to life a two-year process of sonic, structural and emotional exploration. Their live setup also involves Liburn Jupolli (keyboard) and Vedat Hasani (drums), and they perform their original songs combined with unexpected covers adapted in their unique style. Hopping from alternative rock, to new-wave, psychedelic rock, reggae, hip-hop and electronica, OBORRI electrifies audiences with their original energy and rich musical textures.
