Today Leonora lives in Kosovo's capital Pristina. She lost her father during the Kosovo war (1998–1999); he was killed by the Yugoslav security forces. Her repertoire includes a wide variety of material including old-style Albanian folk music and modern pop.[1] She is not married.
Her most popular song is “Can innocence be killed?” (A vritet pafajsia?) published in 1998 while Leonora was a war refugee in Albania. She dedicated the song to her father and other Albanians who died during the Kosovo War.
