MilanC 11 Oct 2025

Halid Bešlić (1953 – 2025) was a famous Bosnian folk singer, who was known for his distinctive voice and emotive delivery. He was also one of the most influential and best-selling performers in the former Yugoslavia and throughout the Balkans. He was famous across the Balkans and among the Bosnian diaspora, releasing more than a dozen studio albums and performed widely across Europe and beyond.

During the Bosnian War, he organized and took part in numerous humanitarian concerts for displaced persons and war victims. In 2009, he survived a car crash which left him with lasting injuries but continued to perform and record in the following years. He's regarded as an important contribution to Bosnian musical and cultural heritage, and he remained a regional icon until his death in 2025.
