BOSNIAN DIVA’S NEW ALBUM

Emina Zecaj, the first lady of Bosnian sevdalinka, is to release a new album by the end of the month.
Her previous album was released in 2003 and contained songs she performed with a Sarajevo saz player Mehmed Gribajcevic. As with her previous release, the new album will also appear on Gramofon label and will contain twelve songs she performed accompanied by an accordion player Avdaga Buzar. The album was recorded early spring 2005 at MGKS studio and produced by Edin Zubcevic. The postproduction was done in Bauer Studios, Ludwigsburg, Germany.
Emina Zecaj, Bosnian music’s diva, is not only an excellent performer of sevdalinka, but also a collector of this particular genre, who saved hundreds of songs from oblivion including some of the most beautiful Bosnian traditional songs.
The release of this valuable document of Bosnian music heritage was supported by Swiss Cultural Program and Ministry of Culture and Sports of Sarajevo Canton.
