Slobodna Bosna review - ZUMRA
Only today, with all my available senses and from many angles and magical foggy depth, I have listened over and over again to Zumra, the album of two incredible artists, accordionist Merima Ključo and singer Amira Medunjanin. I have read earlier, mostly positive, even euphoric reviews of this musical masterpiece, and the only thing, in the majority of them, I do not like, is the conclusion that Amira and Merima "offered their specific way of interpreting sevdalinka." Incorrect. These two together presented the ONLY correct, aware and considerate model of (re) interpretation of sevdalinka!
"Tek danas svim raspoloživim čulima, iz brojnih magičnih uglova i maglovitih dubina ispreslušavah album Zumra dviju nejverovatnih umjetnica, harmonikašice Merime Ključo i pjevačice Amire Medunjanin. Pročitao sam ranije, mahom pozitivne, pa i euforične kritike ovog muzičkog remek-djela, i jedino što mi se u većini njih ne dopada jeste konstatacija da su Merima i Amira "ponudile svoj specifičan način interpretiranja sevdalinki". Netačno. Njih su dvije, zajedno iznijele JEDINI TAČAN, osviješten i promišljen model (re)interpretiranja sevdalinki!"
