Saga Nostra

The Group “Saga Nostra” started out in early 1999 in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Group members are: Da Word (Ivan Saric), Kemin (Jasmin Cengic) and Nox (Mirza Tahirovic). The group members are responsible for every aspect of the music: they produce their own songs, create instrumentals, write their own lyrics, record vocals etc. Only the postproduction and the editing are done without the direct influence of the group members. “Saga Nostra” debuted on the Bosnian music scene in 2001 with the introduction of their demo tapes, perform-ances and their first video. This work left them in a position of dominance in the Sarajevo underground hip hop scene. Up until now the group has performed at various events, clubs and festivals in the capitol city of Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as in other cities throughout the home country. Their message started to spread out with a gig in Croatia, two shows in Hungary and a gig in Greece and now the voice of “Saga Nostra” is broadcasting beyond all borders. “Saga Nostra” currently collaborates with the rock band “The Last Location” who support “Saga Nostra” during live performances. “Saga Nostra” is also working together with “UTR Crew” from Sarajevo and together they form the “Association of the urban culture N.E.K.O”. N.E.K.O.’s goal is to raise the public’s awareness of urban culture, whether it’s music, visual art, literature or whatever else emerges from the city streets…Grupa «Saga Nostra» je nastala pocetkom 1999 god. u Sarajevu.
