The cultural-artistic society “Sevdah” from Bužim has been the backbone of cultural life in this knightly town for two decades. Founded on April 3, 2004, the society gathers enthusiasts of all generations dedicated to preserving traditional Bosnian culture, folklore, costumes and customs.

Folklore as the Core of Identity

KUD “Sevdah” maintains a living connection to tradition through regular performances, rehearsals and workshops. Members nurture traditional dances and songs from all regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with special emphasis on the Krajina customs.
