Bujrum! (pronounced Booyroom/ translation Welcome/ Help Yourself) is a creative gathering that celebrates the first anniversary of Sevdalinka, the traditional song from Bosnia and Herzegovina, being inscribed as UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The gathering features ensemble SARAY Iluminado Quartet, Bosnian-Australian theatre maker, Goran Ðurić, and the Bosnian community choir Sevdalinka conducted by Damir Kalajdžić.
