Lambe Alabakovski

Lambe Alabakovski is a Macedonian pop singer, born on 15 November 1987 in the village of Ljubojno. He went to school at the Euro-College in Kumanovo and was still a teenager when his career began.

In 2004 he won "Play: Search for a New Star", the talent contest of the production house M2 Production. He reached the finals with "Spasi me", a song by the composer Darko Dimitrov, and won on the public's televote, which brought him a contract with the label. In 2005 he released "Kade pesno moja", his version of a song by Slave Dimitrov, and sang it, together with the Romanian song "Dragostea mea", with Aleksandra Pileva at the Golden Stag festival in Brașov, Romania. In October of that year he presented "Eh da možam" at Makfest, and at the end of the year came the single "Kažano e sè".

In February 2006 he was one of the voices on the charity song "Otvori oči", written by Darko Dimitrov, alongside Elena Risteska, Kaliopi, Aleksandra Pileva, Adrian Gaxha and Maja Grozdanovska-Pančeva. A month later he entered the Macedonian Eurovision selection with "More od solzi", with music by Dimitrov and words by Elena Risteska, and finished third of twenty. Listeners of Radio Fortuna voted the song their hit of the year, and it became the title track of his debut album, More od solzi, a collection of his hits and new songs released at the end of 2006. In June 2006 he also reached the final of the Budva festival in Montenegro with Aleksandra Pileva, singing "Da mogu vreme vratiti".

He tried for Eurovision again at Skopje Fest 2007, where "Belo e sè", written by Elena Risteska and Robert Bilbilov, earned 101 points and third place, and in February 2008 he competed with "Zemjo moja". His next albums were Vrati mi go srceto, whose title song he recorded with Darko Dimitrov, and Da ne te ljubev, which also carried "Najdobro do sega", a duet with Elena Risteska.

Other songs from his catalogue include "I posle sè", "Sè e po staro", "Zar ne e dobro" and "Koga sonce gree, plačam", as well as "Bidi prijatel naš", the official anthem of SOS in Macedonia. Lambe Alabakovski later moved to the United States and returned to North Macedonia with his family in 2021.
