Leli Sultana "il-Moni" sang għana for over sixty years. In his long career he has sang with most of the legendary għannejja of the 20th century and took part in many għana events that left a mark on the story of Maltese folklore.

During this time he has won many trophies, certificates and awards, including the MANOEL DE VILHENA AWARD which was given to him for his contribution to għana in Australia. This was a great honour which is usually won by barristers, doctors and business people.

Leli Sultana was born in Marsa on the 16th of August 1921. His family owned a shop in Barbary Street, Marsa, which was frequented by għannejja, daqqaqa and dilettantes of għana. In this atmosphere he started taking part in għana and was soon singing with many famous għannejja of time like Pawlu Seychell "l-Għannej", Salvu Darmanin "Ir-ruġel", Ġuzeppi Xuereb "Ix-Xhudi" and many other top għannejja of the time.

In 1934, when Leli was just 14 years old, he sang for the first time at Buskett, l-Imnarja with Pawlu Seychell. He could still remember many of the stanzas he sang. One of his favourites was "Ma xatt il-baħar" which won him a trophy at Buskett in 1945. During these years Leli Sultana won many trophies but the one he remembered the best was the one he won when he sang against "Ix-Xudi" in 1954.

Leli Sultana was one of the first għannejja who immigrated to Australia and during that time took part in the development of Maltese għana in that country and since at the time there was nowhere where għannejja and daqqaqa could meet he used to invite them to his house where it became like an għana club.

Leli Sultana "il-Moni" died on the 27th September 2003 in Melbourne, Australia.
