Sevdah

Sevdah is a type of music that comes from a country called Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a very special kind of music that is usually sad or emotional, but it can also be happy or romantic. Sevdah is very important to the people who live in Bosnia and Herzegovina because it tells stories about their history, culture, and feelings. Some of the instruments used in sevdah are the accordion, guitar, and violin. You can imagine it like a big storybook that you listen to with your ears instead of reading with your eyes. Just like how some books make you feel happy or sad, sevdah makes people feel emotional too. It is a beautiful thing that many people love to listen to and share with others.
