Singer, humanitarian, and global ambassador for both the culture and music of her native Bosnia & Herzegovina and the wider Balkan region, Amira Medunjanin has been described as, ''one of the great voices of her generation'' (Observer) with a voluptuous sound that, ''hovers enticingly between East and West'' (Uncut). On her latest recording, Damar, Amira once again draws deep from the wellspring of traditional Sevdah with revivifying new arrangements of ancestral songs, and for the first time introduces new compositions to her artistic repertoire.
