AMIRA TRIO

  Music journalist Garth Cartwright called her “Bosnian Billy Holliday”, alluding to the way Amira Medunjanin “plays” with the „Sevdah“, finding a new conjecture and form in the tradition of more than a hundred years old. This unique vocalist is one of the most active promoters of the musical heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her rich discography, published in collaboration with famous world record companies, is constantly receiving great criticism. The debut album “Rosa” was proclaimed the album of the year in the UK, while the album “Zumra” won the “Indexes” award. In her music, besides the processing of the Bosnian musical folk tradition, there are also melodies from Serbian and Macedonian traditional songs. She has won the prestigious “Best Female Vocal 2012” award by the Orange Foundation. Zvonimir Šestak first enrolled at the State Conservatory in Kärnten, Austria, where he studied jazz contrabass.
