Rare footage from Aurela Gaçe's performance of "Coming" (English cover of Olgica Hristovska's 1995 song "Neveren") in competition of the Second Evening of second edition of Evrofest, a mixed bag festival, hard to describe... you have to experience it. :) Evrofest 1998 was held on 6, 7 and 8.11.1998 in Skopje, hosted by Katerina Deskovska-Stojanovska and Lidija Velkovska. The First evening was the national competition "Večer na etno hitovi i šlageri", the second was a competition of Macedonian song covers - "Večer na makedonski kaver verzii" - in which Macedonian and foreign singers competed for the awards, performing 8 well known songs in foreign languages, followed by a another performance by the same artists singing a song by their choice out of competition. The third evening was a "Festival of the Winners of the European Festivals".

Aurela Gaçe won the Best Interpretation for "Coming (Neveren)" on the Second Festival evening - the competition of Macedonian song covers, and also performed a cover of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" in the first part of the International Show on the same evening. She also won the Second Jury Award at the final festival night for “E kemi fatin shpresë dhe marrëzi” (Our Destiny Hope and Crazinnes).
