about

When the renowned Bosnian Sevdah artist Damir Imamović, put a beautiful a-capella vocal performance of the traditional Bosnian Sevdah song „Mosćanice, vodo plemenita“ out in the open and invited other musicians to contribute to it, it was a matter of course for the Germany based, multi-cultural collective Royal Street Orchestra to give it a shot:

It was not just by chance that Imamović, who is successfully transferring the old tradition of Bosnian Sevdah music into modern times, picked the song „Mosćanice, vodo plemenita“:
The tale is taking the listener back to Sarajevo at the end of the 18th century... to the end of the plague pandemic which had the people in quarantine for years. A young woman, who remained in Sarajevo and had survived the plague, was disconnected from her lover. The young man had left Sarajevo at the beginning of the quarantine to be with his parents- on the shore of Save river, in quite some distance from the city.
Desperate about never hearing back from him and not even knowing if he is still alive, she decides to ask the Mošćanica river on the outskirts of Sarajevo to convey a message to him when flowing into the Save river...
