Amira .......

 

 

 

 

...The twelve songs from Rosa compromise the most fierce Bosnian musical experience in recent memory; Amira’s rich, languid voice conveys so much emotion listening to this CD can be, at times, almost overwhelming. I play Rosa again and again, sinking into the deep, carefully caressed syllables on U Djul Basci, riding the high notes to a mountaintop village on Zajdi, Zajdi, surfing the raw acoustic dissonance of Bogata Sam Iman Svega whilst imagining ‘this must be what it’s like to hide from mortar shells’. Oh what sad, mad, beautiful music sevdah is!
