In her last interview with the Albanian media, Simaku confessed about her challenges and life in the USA. She said that, due to the circumstances, she had chosen to work as a singer in Albanian restaurants, a commitment that she considered difficult and far from her artistic aspirations.

"I've been working in Albanian restaurants for a while, I make Albanian music. To be honest, it's hard. I would never do it because singing in restaurants is not to my taste. I am forced because things have to start from A", she said.

Despite the difficulties, Parashqevi Simaku remains an icon of Albanian music. The public's love and respect for her continue to live on, making her figure irreplaceable in the collective memory of art lovers. Although away from the stage for years, her name and music will always remain a symbol of true art and passion. /Telegraph/
