Summary/Abstract: This paper is intended to be an overview of engagements, weddings, births and deaths in the Region “Lumi i Vlorës” (Vlora River). The Region “Lumi i Vlorës” is one of the most popular regions of Labëri Area. This region includes the villages located on both sides of Shushice River from Kuçi to the Bridge of Drashovicë. The region is part of the land of Amantians, who inhabited the area since the ancient times. Old men and women born and resident the Region “Lumi i Vlorës” were surveyed. This area has its own characteristic customs, traditions, rites and songs, although it has not been isolated from the other areas. A detailed description is made on these characteristics. Often illustrations of popular songs and cries are shown. Some are unknown songs and cries. Joyful and bad events to our dearest people are artistically and emotionally felt through the stylistic figures such as rhyme and assonance, which make verses sound beautifully. This paper is of important value to the young aged people, as recently many of these traditions are fading away.
