00:00Sevdalinka has been included in UNESCO's National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
00:12It's an ancient form of love song from Bosnia and Herzegovina dating back to the 16th century.
00:19Often referred to as the Balkan Blues, Sevdalinka mixes South Slavic oral poetry and the music of
00:25the Ottoman Empire. In recent years, novel interpretations by younger musicians have
00:32brought Sevdalinka to global audiences.
00:38Sevdalinka as such, as a song that lives, has lived and will live on,
00:42is truly one of the solid foundations of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian society and people,
00:47and I hereby invite young people to nurture, preserve and present it all over the world.
