  • Description

    Bosnian singer, songwriter and sevdah tradition-bearer Damir Imamovic is a firm believer in the power of song to connect and transport. On this new album 'The World and All That It Holds', he performs original compositions and traditional songs in Bosnian and Sephardic Ladino with breathtaking emotion and conviction. Created as a musical companion to Bosnian-American author Aleksandar Hemon's epic novel of the same name, the songs tell stories of love and loss, hardship and perseverance. Imamovic's music invokes the spirit of the cultural melting pot that is Sarajevo, his lifelong home, reflecting sevdah's rich historical influences while invigorating its future.
