Traditional Balkan music in new arrangements: Divanhana from Sarajevo combine urban styles with the traditional sounds of the Balkans and bring the Sevdah to the world in all its beauty and diversity. The musicians devote themselves to this musical treasure in all its beauty and diversity with obvious dedication, bringing the old tunes between painful melancholy and heartfelt joy into contemporary arrangements. The wonderful melodies merge into an imaginative and energetic blend of jazz, folk, modern classical and pop, without losing their emotional power.
Their sixth album Zavrzlama blends the music's Sephardic, Balkan and Turkish roots with a smooth jazz-pop sensibility, combining epic melancholy, passionate ballads and dynamic dance numbers, mixing originals with traditional sevdalinka, all superbly arranged.
