Bluegrass

[Djamila]

You won't find anything more bluegrass in Bosnia than Muhammed kuje, one of the oldest songs in our culture. Here's a video of it being performed live in Mostar:

Mostar Sevdah Reunion - Mujo (Muhammed) kuje

YEEHAW! Ride'em... jihadi boys?


And another much better live version from the nightingale of Sarajevo, Hajrudin Varesanovic:

Wow, its amazing to think that bluegrass music is popular in Bosnia. I'm from Kentucky, the home of bluegrass.

The very first American band to perform in the Soviet Union as the cold war was finally coming to an end, was a bluegrass band - the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. And American "roots music" is still very popular in England and France and has been for many decades.
