Božo is a unique singer who takes sevdalinka, the traditional folk song from Bosnia, back to its pure unaccompanied roots. He is an androgynous singer – sometimes performing as a man, sometimes as a woman – which is breaking down deep prejudices. Božo has talked about how sevdah allows him to live as both a man and a woman, and how he sings and writes sevdalinka-songs, that are in male and female voices because they are true to both ‘parts of him’.
