Meho Puzić

Meho Puzić was born on July 24, 1937, in Odžak in northern Bosnia. Possessing an authentic, powerful tenor voice perfectly attuned to the delicate melancholia (sevdah) of traditional urban love songs, Puzić rose to fame in the 1960s with Radio Sarajevo.

Over a four-decade career, Puzić recorded dozens of gold albums, turning classic sevdalinke like Snijeg pade na behar na voće, Hitao je sinak majci, and Plakalo je mlado momče into cultural milestones across the Balkans. Known for his generous charitable concerts and unwavering devotion to his hometown of Odžak, he was honored with numerous lifetime cultural awards.
