The Collection for Musical Art and Ethnomusicology of the Museum of Sarajevo preserves objects that testify to authentic performers of sazlija sevdalinka \u2013 Behka Top\u010di\u0107\u2019s def and Igbal Ljuca\u2019s saz. These instruments are not merely museum exhibits, but silent witnesses to a time when sevdalinka was passed down through voice and heart, from generation to generation.\n\nBehka Top\u010di\u0107, known as the first sevdah-hanuma of Sarajevo, delighted audiences with her powerful and penetrating voice. She began singing as a young girl at women\u2019s gatherings, sijela, teferi\u010di, and during evenings of preparing \u0107etenija. Thanks to her remarkable memory, Behka preserved many old songs that her mother used to sing to her, thus saving them from oblivion.\n\nHer constant companion, both in music and in life, was Igbal Ljuca, an outstanding sazlija. Their love and connection were known throughout Sarajevo. \n\nToday, Behka\u2019s def and Igbal\u2019s saz, preserved in the Museum of Sarajevo, remind us of a time when sevdalinka lived in the mahala, in the courtyard, and in people\u2019s hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
