Bo\u017eo (Bozho) Vre\u0107o and his band Halka are playing to sold out audiences all over the Balkans. He is a unique and gifted singer who takes sevdalinka back to its pure unaccompanied roots. Vreco is a very androgonous singer \/ sometimes performing as a man, sometimes as a woman, which is breaking down long held deep prejudices. He has talked about how sevdah allows him to live as both a man and a woman, and how he sings and writes sevdalinke that are in male and female voices because they are true to both \u2018parts of him\u2019. He has hinted that his next solo album will consist of sevdalinke that come from \u2018female\u2019 characters and points of view. He has expressed a fluid, bi-gendered identity, saying that he overcomes male-female binaries and differences because he believes that we all embody both genders but are kept from living them out because of shame and discrimination. For him, it is sevdah itself that allows him the space and the freedom to be both a man and a woman.<\/p>\n
