Amira Medunjanin & Esma Numanović | Garden of Dreams Festival 2025 | Sarajevo

At this year’s Garden of Dreams Festival in Sarajevo, tradition meets timeless emotion as two powerful voices of the Balkans—Amira Medunjanin and Esma Numanović.

🎶 Amira Medunjanin: The Voice of Sevdah and Soul

With her deeply emotional interpretations of traditional Balkan songs, Amira Medunjanin transcends time. Her performances breathe new life into ancient melodies, blending love, sorrow, dreams, and freedom into a sound that bridges generations and cultures. As one of the region’s most celebrated voices, Amira preserves the musical heritage of the Balkans while reimagining it through a modern lens.

Her upcoming performance at Garden of Dreams Festival 2025 is more than a concert—it’s a deeply personal journey through shared history, identity, and emotion.

🌟 Esma Numanović: A Bold New Voice of Contemporary Tradition

Joining Amira is Esma Numanović, one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s most exciting contemporary artists. Her music fuses traditional roots with elements of pop, soul, flamenco, and reggae—delivering a unique sound grounded in heritage yet open to the world. Her 2024 album Blista, produced by Damir Imamović, reflects themes of courage, tenderness, and inner light.

Esma represents a new generation of artists who honor their roots while fearlessly shaping their own musical paths.

🌿 A Night of Meaning, Memory, and Musical Unity

This special evening isn’t just another festival performance. As Garden of Dreams celebrates its 10-year anniversary, the festival turns back to its origins—where stories, emotions, and music form the heart of its vision.
