Benjamin Isović (born 9 September 1962) is a Bosnian singer-songwriter and poet.[1] His late father, Safet Isović, is remembered as one of the most influential Sevdalinka singers of all time.[2]

Career

In 2008, when Republika Srpska was looking for entries for a new regional anthem, Isović and Bosnian national anthem composer Dušan Šestić submitted an entry, "Мајко земљо" ("Mother Earth") as a contender, though ultimately it was not chosen.[citation needed] In the late 2000s, Šestić and Isović also wrote a set of lyrics for the wordless Bosnian national anthem, although they were not adopted.[3]
