Description
In this scientific study, it will be about Mihal Cikon-Barito who studied at the "Giuseppe Verdi" Conservatory in Milan in the years 1921-1926, becoming the first educated Albanian Lyric singer; for the years 1926-1928, from which he obtained a Master of Singing Pedagogy; then for teaching at the "Claudio Monteverdi" Conservatory of Bolzano-Italy; for his activity on the stages of Italy and Romania; for his patriotic activity as a participant in the Vlora War-1920 with the members of the "Vatra" Band of Boston-Massachusetts; for creating patriotic songs; for the establishment of the largest musical institutions and performances in Albania; for his contribution as a Singing Teacher (Cantos) at ILA; of his age and creative Invention of patriotic songs; for his contribution to the newly established Radio Tirana; for the contribution to the creation of choirs in different cities of Albania until he died in 1986; for the suffering of his son-prof. Zhani Ciko, namely his contribution and responsibility as the son of the first Albanian Lirik singer, as well as for other interesting and little-known details for the vast majority of Albanians.
The selection of this topic as a scientific study was made for the following reasons:
1. The recognition of Mihal Cikos by music researchers in Kosovo and North Macedonia is very little and this constitutes a (re)recognition for the musical circles of these regions.
2. For enhancing the merits that Mihal Ciko has in contributing to the field of cultivated Music and not only.
3. For the patriotic attitude together with the Albanian Revivalists, such as: Mihal Grameno, Hil Mosi, Kol Tromara, Asdreni, Murad Toptani, Viktor Eftimiu, Thoma Nassi, Kristo e Thanas Floqi and many others up to the world famous actor, Aleksandër Moisiu.
