Sevdah North America - Evening of Sevdah - Mary Sherhart

[vladav123]

Without diminishing the talent of Mary Sherhart, clearly a remarkable lady who has embraced the beauty of tradicional Bosnian songs, this is not a good interpretation of a classic sevdalinka. The most obvious flaw is the vocal walkabout (e.g. first verse ŽIVA/MILA and repeated in subsequent verses). If an acclaimed singer from the former Yugoslavia were to overstretch the characteristic protocol of sevdah, in the manner Mary has done, they would get a hammering from the critics. Regards

Thank you very much!

[Makrania]

I would like to learn to play the saz. Does anyone teach the saz in central Ohio?

[marysherhart]

@Makrania

There is a gentleman in Chicago, Mirsad Zulic. If you would like to send me your email address I can forward it to him.

[marysherhart]

Thank you for the kind comments. I am touched and humbled.

[FSMonster]

[marysherhart]

Thank you for your kind note. It is my honor and joy to sing sevdalinke.

[marysherhart]

Thank you for your kind comments. It is my great joy and honor to sing sevdalinke. It is a real treasure!

[BosnianMilitia]

@marysherhart Thank you Mary, it is great to see someone from a distant place to sing songs that are deeply rooted in history of balkans and people of all religions and backgrounds that live there. Thank you for visiting Bosnia. My mother cant stop listening to your songs, we wish you well and welcome to Bosnia.

[marysherhart]

Puno pozdrav na vasa mama! Velika hvala iz srca. I can't wait for the day I return to beautiful Bosna!

[JokiBroki]

@marysherhart its just amazing to me that you can sing sevdah! Because you really need to sing it from your soul. Just by singing it you are showing that you really feel it and have it in your soul. Its remarkable as many bosnian singers cant sing it because they dont have it in their soul. Congratulations Mary and hopefully you will sing many more sevdalinki. Many regards from New York!

[j3ich]

Dear Mary,you've done a great job. This is a very hard song to sing and it takes a lot of practice to master it. Keep on exploaring Bosnian music,there is a lot to hear and learn. Good luck. :)

[marysherhart]

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I certainly will never sing sevdalinke as well as native Bosnians, but I do love them so.

[marysherhart]

Trepcak - TI si GREAT!

[trepcak]

Mary Sherhart you are GREAT ! ;))

[amoureux24]

Definitely a nice voice, educated and a wonderful pronunciation!

Thank you Mary

[marysherhart]

Thank you for the kind comments. Obviously, I'll never sing like a native, but work hard to make the most accurate interpretation I can. It's a responsibility I take very seriously.

[bosanac5]

One word: spectacular! We are so proud to hear someone with so much talent signing our songs with such skill and genuine dedication. Mary, you are a natural...any chance we can see you perform in Los Angeles?

[marysherhart]

Thank you for your very kind comments, bosanac5. I would love to sing in Los Angeles. Is there a Bosnian community there? If you would like to put me in touch with someone who organizes events in LA, I would be happy to start a conversation about coming down.

[vamosbabe]

Bravo Mary! Apart from your singing, your pronunciation is so good! :)

[marysherhart]

I'm so glad you think so. I work very hard to be as accurate as possible. It is a responsibility I take very seriously.

[PapakEliminator]

prelijepo,svaka cast!!

[marysherhart]

Hvala lijepo!

[duplosrce]

Educated voice, that's it.

We are proud of you, Mary.

Thank you for keeping up with us. (Tatic)

[marysherhart]

Hi dear Vanja. Thank you for your very kind message. I would love to return to Milwaukee. Everyone in Balkan Cabaret completely fell in love with your community there. We'll be in Dayton at the end of October, but that's about the closest to Milwaukee at this point.

Hugs and kisses, M

[MsVanja]

Mary

Kad nam dolazite u Milwaukee ponovo??

You were awesome jedva cekamo da vas opet vidimo!!!!

[folcika12]

Dodji ti nama u Tuzlu mery pa da se izadje na teferic pa ce mo zapjevati zajedno.

Al za ovo sto pjevas i gajis sevdah u dalekom svijetu, posebno ti zahvaljuem.

[marysherhart]

Hvala vama. Ni sam bila u Tuzlu. Ako Bog da, ja cu ici i zajedno cemo pjevati sevdalinke! Sve najbolje! Mary

[alojebme]

slazem se da ovo nije Bosanski saz ali Mery je kraljica! nemoze se bez Sevdaha !

[marysherhart]

THank you for your kind message. It is such a joy to sing sevdalinke, a musical bridge to people and culture!

[duplosrce]

Tesko je naci dva saza, pa da budu u istim standardima. Bio to baglama, bosanski, ili bilo koji drugi saz..... (Tatic)

[mirsadsazlija]

[NijazM]

draga mrs mary,vi ste,za mene ,visoki predstavnik...volite bosnu,sevdah;razumijete bosnu-ukratko,imate sve sto ovi dripci u bosni nemayu..hvala vam..

[marysherhart]

Hvala vam. Ljubim vasa kultura.  Kraj tanana sadrvana je prekrasna pjesma.

[dujko]

Lijepo, ali ovaj saz je turski a ne bosanski, i tonski je drugačiji, inače je super ali sevdalinka zvuči najlijepše uz bosanski saz! Poštovanje

[Tvrtko1995]

Mary, moje iskreno postovanje iz Georgije! Lijep pozdrav.

[marysherhart]

Hvala vama! Viva sevdah!

[xxbulletproof]

My dad did some videos for Mirsad Zulic, and some other singers (Sabrija Vulic,Mahir Burekovic) etc. But it would be really really cool if you and Mirsad kind of did a duet or something, i would be impressed!

[marysherhart]

Mr. Zulic is a fine singer and saz player. He is well-deserving of recognition. It would be an honor to meet him.

[xxbulletproof]

Oh He also has some videos on youtube.

[xxbulletproof]

Mary theres a good singer in chicago called Mirsad Zulic who sings the same type of music, maybe you should try combining or something, but you are FANTASTIC!

[marysherhart]

I just looked at the videos of Mirsad Zulic. He plays with such enthusiasm and love. It would be wonderful to work with him. Where is Mr. Zulic from?

[xxbulletproof]

He is from Kozarac, Bosnia, but he lives in chicago now, Mary.

[yekken]

bravo i fantasticno, Mary

[marysherhart]

Hvala lijepo! Viva sevdah! Viva Bosna!

[Krajsho]

Postovanje i moje divljenje, g-djo Sherhart.

[marysherhart]

It is my sincere honor to sing sevdalinke! Sve naj-bolje, Mary

[LejlaBosanka]

Bravo Mary!!

Mary TI SI NASA DIKA !!!!!
