I grew up playing Bosnian music and I must say this CD does a fantastic job in representing folk music from Bosnia Herzegovina. The CD is a master piece, from song selection to CD cover which even includes lyrics translated into English. International music lovers will keep it right next to "Buena Vista Social Club" CD. Watch for other upcoming MOSTAR SEVDAH REUNION releases ("Secret Gate", etc.)
Enjoy it!!!

I agree with all other's comments here. Hearing "U Lijepom Starom Gradu Visegradu" on the Rough Guide cd of Balkan music was enough to convince me I have to have their cd as soon as possible! I love sevdalinka so much and this recording is very REAL and soulful. It reminds me visiting Mostar in 1989, with it's incredibly beautiful 16th c. bridge, stari most; a painful memory when you think of all that happened shortly after - nema stari most. Many lives and much irreplaceble beauty was destroyed but apparently some spirit survives!

I was extremly pleased when I heard this CD. I'm sorry I was not present during this performance. It is simply wonderful.

Having been raised in the good ol' U.S.A. I can not be be a true expert in Balkan Music, but just read below. Yes, no one has given less than 5 stars and I do agree with all. What a wonderful C.D.! This has great accordion lines with guitar and vocals, but wait I do hear some clarinet too and also some violin in some parts. Kind of gypsy orientated with heart felt vocals.If you like the World Music scene or Yugoslavian music then I'm sure that you won't be dissappointed. A great C.D.!

Pure diamond from the Balkans.Emotional, powerfull...Actually no words to describe it.Every fan of Balkan music must have this CD.

You must have this CD.Graet, I can't stop listening this CD.

The best CD of the year.Unexpectable ,great music with the fantastic singer and great band.Top of the World !!!
