BOŽO VREĆO, UMETNIK BOŽO VREĆO, ARTIST NE PEVAM JA SEVDALINKE I DO NOT SING SEVDALINKA, I LIVE SEVDAH SEVDAH
Nova generacija umetnika iz Bosne i Hercegovine donosi neprocenjivo bogatstvo balkanskog muzičkog nasleđa savremenim doživljajem sevdaha i sevdalinki. Na njihovom čelu stupa jedinstveni Božo J edna od najneobičnijih po- java na ovdašnjem prosto- ru. Čovek koji je pomerio granice doživljaja tradicio- nalne muzike, ali i tradicije kao ta- kve. Bosanskohercegovački autor Božo Vrećo ultimativan je izazov. Za pojedince provokacija, a za ve- ćinu melem za uho i dušu. Neprocenjivo bogatstvo balkan- skog muzičkog nasleđa čitava nova generacija umetnika iz BIH prezen- tuje poslednjih desetak godina do- noseći osavremenjen doživljaj sev- daha i sevdalinki. Jedno je stanje duše, a drugo svesti. – Iz iskrenosti nastaje moja umetnost. Sva lepota ispevavanja i kreiranja novih melodija i tako- zvanog novog talasa sevdalinki ko- je nastaju iz mog pera.

Bi- ti transrodna osoba, javna ličnost koja ne koketira s mejnstrimom,
A new generation of artists from Bosnia-Herzegovina is bringing an invaluable wealth to Balkan musical heritage with its modern interpretation of sevdah and sevdalinka. At their helm perform the unique Božo
H e is one of the most unusual phe- nomena in this region; a man who shifted the boundaries of experiencing traditional music, but also tradition in itself. Bosnian-Herze- govinian Božo Vrećo is the ultimate chal- lenge. For some he is a provocation, while for most he is a balm for the ear and the soul. For the last ten years he has present- ed the incredible richness of the Balkan musical heritage to an entire new gener- ation of artists from Bosnia-Herzegovina, ushering in a contemporary experience of sevdah and sevdalinka. One is a state of the soul, the other of consciousness. - My art is created from sincerity. All the beauty of singing and creating new melodies and the so-called new wave of sevdalinka emerges from my pen. I always say that sevdah is divided into interpret- ers and those who live sevdah. I belong to this second group, who experience every one of their own songs, every one of their own pains, all suffering, sorrow, everything that hardened me and made me the per- son I am today. Božo’s story is specific. Being a trans- gender person, a public figure who does not flirt with the mainstream, is tantamount to a revolutionary undertaking. Božo pre-
