Amira Medunjanin, the queen of sevdah and one of the most important voices of the Balkans, performs at Sava Centar in Belgrade on December 4. The Bosnian singer who modernized the traditional sevdalinka genre and brought it to world stages - from Carnegie Hall to WOMAD festival - promises an evening that merges the deep emotions of Balkan musical tradition with contemporary production.

Medunjanin holds numerous awards, including the Songlines Music Award for best artist. Her albums "Rosa" and "Silk & Stone" received praise from world music critics, and she has collaborated with names like Trisha Park and Merima Kljuco. Her voice has been described as "a bridge between centuries" - with the same song she can transport you to a 19th-century Sarajevo kafana and a 21st-century concert hall.

For Macedonian audiences, Medunjanin is no stranger - sevdah is part of the shared Balkan heritage. Belgrade is a four-hour drive away, and tickets start from 1,316 denars (2,500 RSD). Available through tickets.rs.
