Sevdah, also referred to as "Sevdalinka," is a traditional genre of music that originates from Bosnia and Herzegovina with deep roots in the cultural fabric of the Balkans. The word "sevdah" derives from the Turkish word for love, signifying the often poignant and passionate nature of its themes, which are typically centered around love, longing, and melancholy. Characterized by its emotional delivery and haunting melodies, Sevdah integrates Oriental, European, and Balkan musical elements, creating a unique blend that resonates with listeners' emotional states. Performed with a heartfelt vocal style and typically accompanied by instruments such as the accordion, violin, and saz, Sevdah has been kept alive and modernized through the work of artists such as Mostar Sevdah Reunion, Safet Isović, and Divanhana, who each contribute to the genre's enduring legacy and evolving sound.
