exquisite group of artists sharing the same passion. Some might say that they live for Sevdah and that could be the only cause of their existence. To decode and to represent this over 400 year old traditional music from Bosnia and Herzegovina is a difficult task to cope with. Despite all obstacles, MSR kept going.<br>The story begins in 1993 when <a href=\"http:\/\/snailrecords.nl\/about-snail-records\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dragi Se\u0161ti\u0107<\/a>, producer and former of the band, recorded an audiocassette with a couple of tracks that was distributed in limited edition among their friends. Those were the times of war in the Balkans and the reason for recording was just a getaway episode to forget for one single moment all the atrocities and suffering. Then, they gave the promise that &#8220;the whole world will know about Sevdah&#8221; &#8211; one day when war would come to an end. They fulfilled the promise and recorded their first album <em>Mostar Sevdah Reunion<\/em> in 1998. Since that day they have been fascinating their audiences wherever they go.<br>Diversity in musical backgrounds and individual virtuosity in a collective that never performed two identical gigs in a row make them unique on the World Music scene. Working and recording with <a href=\"http:\/\/snailrecords.nl\/artists\/saban-bajramovic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saban Bajramovi\u0107<\/a> \u271d\ufe0e <em>A Gypsy Legend<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/snailrecords.nl\/artists\/ljiljanabuttler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ljiljana Buttler<\/a> \u271d\ufe0e <em>The Mother of Gypsy Soul<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/3hqJ0OoW1ck5ET6lUyV0OQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Esma Redzepova<\/a> <em>The Queen of Gypsies<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bobanmarkovic.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boban Markovi\u0107<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kingnaatveliov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Naat Veliov<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amiramedunjanin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amira Medunjanin<\/a>, they intend to show the variety of Balkan music and to give due respect to the finest and uncompromised authors of genuine Gypsy music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The style of the band has changed since its early days, along with many of its members. Guitar and piano have joined violin and accordion as lead instruments, while a younger generation of singers has taken over as vocalists, but the music remains fluid, thoughtful, and an effective reminder that there is more to Balkan music than the high-octane brass bands and drunken stomping of popular imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The acclaimed concept album <em>Tales From a Forgotten City<\/em> (2013), which was entirely dedicated to the beautiful city of Mostar and her poets and singers, was followed by <em>The Balkan Autumn<\/em> (2018), in line with the band&#8217;s tradition of discovering and presenting forgotten and new talent: Over 70 years old Serbian crooner Milutin Sretenovi\u0107 &#8220;Sreta&#8221; (who died unexpectedly in 2021), combines Sinatra-like jazzy vocals with flamenco and oriental maqams. He is joined by the young Sevdah singer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/antonija.batinic\">Antonija Batini\u0107<\/a>, whose vocal palette of expression seems almost endless. <em>Lady Sings The Balkan Blues<\/em> is released in 2022 and makes Batini\u0107, with her exciting mix of youth, energy and virtuosity, finally the new front woman of the band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of 2024, <em>Bosa Mara<\/em> will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band, marking a quarter of a century of the Mostar Sevdah Reunion institution, which over the years has become the unofficial cultural ambassadors of Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-discography\">Discography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>2024 Bosa Mara, Snail Records<br>2022 Lady Sings The Balkan Blues, Snail Records<br>2018 Mostar Sevdah Reunion Presents Sreta, The Balkan Autumn, Snail Records<br>2017 Kings of Sevdah, Live Album, Digital Release<br>2013 Mostar Sevdah Reunion, Tales From A Forgotten City, &nbsp;SR-66021<br>2007 Mostar Sevdah Reunion, Caf\u00e9 Sevdah, LC-12490<br>2005 Ljiljana Buttler &amp; Mostar Sevdah Reunion, The Legends of Life, SR-66006<br>2003 Mostar Sevdah Reunion, A Secret Gate, SR-66002<br>2002 Liljana Buttler &amp; Mostar Sevdah Reunion, The Mother of Gypsy Soul, SR-66001<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-success\">Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>2024 Songlines Award for Best Group<br>2023 Songlines Best European World Music Album, <em>Lady Sings the Balkan Blues<\/em><br>2023 #1 Transglobal World Music Charts <em>Lady Sings the Balkan Blues<\/em><br>2023 #1 European World Music Charts <em>Lady Sings the Balkan Blues<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-films\">Films<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>2013 Tales From A Forgotten City von Amir Grabus<br>2005 Sevdah &#8211; The Bridge of Bosnian Blues, BBC documentary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-press\">Press<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Twenty five years on from their debut, the finest and best known exponents of Bosnian sevdah are still in a class of their own.
