Mostar Sevdah Reunion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mostar Sevdah Reunion is musical ensemble from Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina playing almost exclusively sevdalinka and gypsy music. The band is composed of experienced musicians and often collaborates with renowned musicians in the field of gypsy music: they made an album with Šaban Bajramović and two albums with Ljiljana Buttler. Ljiljana often tours with the band too.
The band was formed in Mostar in 1993, during the darkest of times of the Bosnian war. The band started out as a group of local, talented and experienced musicians interested in delivering at least some dose of normality to an otherwise brutal situation. Their first CD was released 1999. Since then they became a real world music attraction preforming on various world music festivals and receiving a number of music awards. In mid-2006, this ensemble was scheduled to play several shows in the USA, however, the host country's government failed to issue visas to all musicians and as a result, the concerts had to be cancelled.
