This full-length concert, written and directed by Denis Basic, PhD, is  

a story of Bosnian college girls who migrated to the USA as children  

with their parents in the 1990's from their war-torn home country. In  

a search for identity, they dig into their parents’ refugee suitcases  

and discover old family pictures, keys to their old homes, their first  

toys, and also traditional dances and Sevdah - the traditional Bosnian  

love songs often compared with American Blues, Spanish Flamenco,  

Portuguese Fado, and Greek Rembetika. The concert is one of numerous  

events taking place in Diaspora communities throughout North America  

as part of the 3rd annual "North American Days of Sevdah"  sponsored  

by Sevdah North America.
