Meditative Guitar - Sevdah, Birds, And Stillness

Sevdah is more than music. It is life, and it is dying. A special kind of melancholy — laughter through tears, the sweetness of sorrow.

This recording weaves the timeless spirit of Bosnian Sevdah into a gentle, meditative guitar journey. Inspired by the traditional songs Poljem se vija Hajdar delija, Što te nema, and Kraj tanana šadrvana, the music flows for seventeen minutes, carried by the natural white noise of birdsong and open air.

After the music fades, the soundscape continues with thirteen minutes of pure nature — a tranquil space for meditation, reflection, and rest. Sevdah is deep. It is a safe place, the sound of a happy childhood, a memory of what came before life, and a hope for what comes after.
