This is not a research book, rather a documentary with reliable sources. There is no glossary, bibliography, or index; or to put it another way, it is a blend of narrations, recollections, correspondence, concert reviews and original documents. Most of the material in the book is based on translations from Albanian to English. Over the years, in conversations with friends of my parents, Tefta and Kristo, in my mind I created all sorts of images which were linked with the photos, although they were and have remained the same, stuck in the fabric of that moment of fixation.The majority of the reviews in this book are about my mother, however, although to a lesser extent, the critical reviews on my father also provide information on his contribution to the field of lyrical singing. Intellectual thinking of the time is reflected in these writings and demonstrates a wide range of features: level of education, the degree of absorption of democratic ideas, social and religious tolerance, culture of the country where journalists had studied, moral code and their integrity, connected with the objectivity of subjectivity of judgement, local affiliation and belonging, as well as other attributes which explain the cultural view of this intellectual stratum.

Eno Koço was appointed conductor of the Albanian Radio-Television Symphony Orchestra (ARSO) in 1977. From 1992 he has been the principal conductor of the orchestra of the School of Music at the University of Leeds, England for 19 years and has worked with several orchestras and choirs of north England. He was awarded his PhD at Leeds University in 1998 and has given papers on the music of Albania at different universities and other scientific research centres such as Limerick, Ireland (1998), Leeds (1999), London, UK (2000), Golem/Albania (2006), Palermo, Italy (2008), Bologna, Italy (2008), Struga, North Macedonia (2008/2009), Cagliari, Italy (2010), Tirana, Albania (2012), Tbilisi, Georgia (2016), Thessaloniki, Greece (2019), Tirana (2022, 2023, 2024). The following titles published with Cambridge Scholars Publishing are: "A Journey of the Vocal Iso(n) (2015), "Traditional Songs and Music of the Korça Region of Albania (2018), "Albanian Identity in History and Traditional Performance" (2021), whereas "Albanian Urban Lyric Song in the 1930s" is published with another publisher (2004).
