Behind the project are vocalist Dunja Bahtijarevi\u0107 and guitarist Luka \u010capeta, who have been digging into Bosnian tradition, only to rebuild it from fragments of the present. Their music blurs the lines between intimacy and experimentation, merging sevdah with textures of noise, punk, jazz and classical form. On their latest EP <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vrbas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, released in May, they join forces with Viennese trio wh\/m and Lenhart Tapes, expanding sevdah\u2019s language into something more raw, poetic and contemporary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This performance is supported by <a href=\"https:\/\/upbeat-platform.eu\/\">UPBEAT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9283 \" src=\"https:\/\/ment.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/upbeat_logo_A_RGB_black-e1768469742176.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"69\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ment.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/upbeat_logo_A_RGB_black-e1768469742176.png 1182w, https:\/\/ment.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/upbeat_logo_A_RGB_black-e1768469742176-872x294.png 872w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9290\" src=\"https:\/\/ment.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_BLACK-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ment.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_BLACK-1.png 1023w, https:\/\/ment.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EN-Co-funded-by-the-EU_BLACK-1-872x182.png 872w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":6713,"parent":0,"template":"","country":[100],"genre":[692,55,120],"location":[677],"class_list":["post-6257","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","genre-sevdah","genre-folk","genre-world-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ment.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/6257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ment.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ment.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ment.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ment.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ment.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ment.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=6257"},{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ment.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=6257"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ment.si\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=6257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
