Selma Bajrami

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Selma Bajrami (born 4 July 1980 in Tuzla, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Yugoslavia) is a popular Bosnian Pop-folk singer who gained enormous popularity after her hit single "Kakvo tijelo Selma ima" (English: "What a Body Selma Has").

Her father Fadil is an Albanian who moved to Bosnia and Hercegovina in 1965 from the town of Đakovica in south western Kosovo, while her mother Enesa is a Bosnian from the town of Tuzla.

Her first album Kad suza ne bude ("When There Are No More Tears") was produced and made by Time studio in Belgrade, Serbia. This album was written and composed mostly by Milić Vukašinović.

Her second album was made in the studio of Mića Nikolić. This album, titled Ljubav si ubio gade ("You've Killed Love, You Scum") included the hits "Život liječi rane" ("Life Heals Wounds") and "Pijanica" ("Drunkard"). After her third album Revolucija ("Revolution") Selma left the music scene. Her next album, under the production of Dejan Abadić, titled Žena sa Balkana ("Woman from the Balkans") took on a different sound from her former albums. With hit songs such as "Nano," "Škorpija," ("She-Scorpion") "Žena sirena" ("Woman-Siren") and "Bićeš moj" ("You'll Be Mine") Selma gained even greater popularity than before. The song "Žena sirena" became Selma's new nickname, which she herself is proud of.

The authors of her next album, Kakvo tijelo Selma ima included Dragan Brajović Braja, Dragiša Baša and Nanin from Tuzla. The song "Ljubavi jedina" ("Only Love") was written by Selma herself. This album was the second one produced under Dejan Abadić.^[1]

In 2007 she released her 6th studio album Ostrvo tuge ("Island Of Woe"), featuring the hits "Promijeni se" ("Change Yourself)", "Lijepe žene" ("Beautiful Women"), and "Ostrvo tuge" ("Island Of Woe").
