Dvojka
We just designed Damir Imamovic's Sevdah Takht's "Dvojka" CD and LP packaging.
The title, Dvojka, refers (perhaps slightly provocatively) to the 2/4 rhythm of modern sevdah’s ‘golden age’ of the 1950s and 60s.
Sevdalinka (also known as Sevdah music) is a traditional genre of folk music from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sevdalinka is an integral part of the Bosniak culture, but is also spread across the ex-Yugoslavia region. In a musical sense, Sevdalinka is characterized by a slow or moderate tempo and intense, emotional melodies.

Interview with Poster Poster Magazine
Natalia Delgado from Poster Poster Magazine
Issue #2 (March 2016) devoted 24 pages to an interview with me, don't worry with lots of white space.
As many of my friends know, I don't watch or read my interviews because most of the time I get embarrassed by the ridiculous things I say. If you come across something like that, please don't let me know. It's too late.
