Earlier this week, Božo Vrećo dropped into the PBS studios to chat with Roger Holdsworth about his sold-out Castlemaine Festival performances.
Božo Vrećo is a well-known contemporary interpreter and songwriter of new lyrics inspired by the centuries-old Sevdah lyrics from Bosnia and Herzegovinia. We talked about the origins of sevdah, its lyrics and who sang it ... and we talked about Božo's interpretations on stage, where he challenges ideas of gender identity and presents sevdah as both male and female.
