Divanhana is an acclaimed Bosnian world music ensemble specializing in a contemporary approach to sevdalinka—a traditional genre of folk music from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Formed in 2009, the band comprises talented musicians who met during their studies at the Music Academy in Sarajevo. Their aim is not just to preserve the unique sevdah heritage but also to invigorate it with creative arrangements and modern influences, making the rich musical tradition accessible to a wider, international audience.

The band's discography showcases their dedication to both honoring and revitalizing the traditional Bosnian sound, with releases like "Zukva: Sevdah from Bosnia's Finest" and "Divanhana Live in Mostar: Sevdah Music from Bosnia & Herzegovina" capturing the essence of their live performances. Albums such as "Zavrzlama" and "Ćilim" present innovative reinterpretations of classic tunes intertwined with original compositions. Divanhana has successfully taken the stage both nationally and internationally, touring extensively and building a reputation for their emotionally stirring concerts, which seamlessly blend the old with the new, making them ambassadors of Bosnian culture and sevdah music across the globe.
