Sinan Sakic was a Serbian folk singer born in 1956 who rose to fame in Yugoslavia in the late 1970s and 1980s, including work with the influential Južni Vetar. Known across the Balkans and the diaspora for songs about love, sorrow and drinking, he remained a fixture at concerts and celebrations until his death in 2018. Short clips of his singing now circulate on social media, where younger audiences reuse his unmistakable emotional style in edits far beyond traditional folk music circles today.
