Hanka Paldum (born April 28, 1956) is a popular Bosniak folk and sevdah singer. She is regarded as one of the best female sevdah performers of all time, and has diva status in her home country. She is a star that has been shining for the last three decades with full intensity at the very top of the sky above Bosnia and Herzegovina and countries that formed ex-Yugoslavia. She has been able to keep the attention of the fans by breaking boundaries and setting norms in the music industry with nothing more than her alluring voice, never resorting to vulgarity and indecency.

In 1975, Hanka won at the festival of amateur singers, “Pjevamo danu mladosti” (Sing for the Youth Day), with the song “Pokraj puta rodila jabuka,” text by Mijat Božović. Her prize was a chance to produce a single for Sarajevo Diskoton. This song was not a big hit at the time, but with time it fought for its place in people’s hearts and souls, and till this day it is sang by many. Hanka’s interpretation, gave the song a new and unique imprint.
