Description: Sevdalinka is a form of traditional urban singing that is practised in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It originated as the result of a long process of acculturation that occurred when the traditional oral poetry of the South-Slavic population merged with the musical influences of the Ottoman Empire. Performed a capella or with traditional instruments, its main function is to tell a story. It is practised by professional and amateur performers and is a key part of stage folklore and a means of cultural expression.
