Tondini is a boundary-pushing musician and composer celebrated for her emotional depth and genre-defying approach. With roots in jazz, classical, and world music, she brings a fresh and sophisticated perspective to the rich musical heritage of the Balkans. Her work is defined by a deep respect for tradition, paired with a fearless drive to innovate.
In her project “Tondini Plays Mostar Sevdah Reunion,” she reimagines the timeless repertoire of the legendary Bosnian ensemble through a modern lens. Drawing from the melancholic beauty and poetic storytelling of Sevdah, Tondini infuses these classic songs with new layers of harmony, rhythm, and improvisation. The result is a moving, personal journey through themes of longing, love, exile, and identity—presenting Sevdah not as a static tradition, but as a living, evolving expression of the human soul.
With her forthcoming album “Tondini Plays Mostar Sevdah Reunion – Disko 088,” she boldly takes this vision further, blending the soulful depth of Sevdah with the infectious pulse of disco. Building on the success of her first three singles—Omer Beze, Nema Ljepše Cure Od Malene Djule, and Srdo Moja—Tondini transforms iconic Sevdah classics into fresh, danceable anthems perfect for summer nights.
Her music is a celebration of cultural fusion: where nostalgia meets modern beats, and where the emotional resonance of Balkan tradition finds new life on the dancefloor. Disko 088 is more than an album—it’s an invitation to move, reflect, and rediscover the timeless power of music.
Stay tuned, turn up the volume, and let Tondini light up your summer.
