Safet Isović
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Safet Isović (born 1936, in Bileća, Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a very prominent and popular sevdah performer. Safet Isović is believed to be the best sevdah performer of all times by many people including people within the music industry.
Throughout his career, Safet Isović performed at music festivals and won many of them which has contributed to the prevalence and popularity of the sevdah.
This was especially the case during the time of former Yugoslavia where the sevdah became and still is very popular first and foremost amongst Bosniaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, this prevalence and popularity also continued amongst Bosniaks in Sandžak and Macedonia. Later, the sevdah also became somewhat popular amongst some non-Bosniaks but the sevdah is still a key musical part of Bosniak culture. Therefore, the popularity of it has been somewhat mediocre amongst non-Bosniaks.
He was also a SDA delegate in the Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
