("Bosnian instrumental and vocal trio" Mustafa Sudžuka and Merkuš.)
Discography
Biography
Active 1907. "The Bosnian Instrumental and Vocal Trio of Mustafa
Sudžuka and Merkuš recorded as many as 30 sides for the Gramophone
Company in 1907. The clarinetist Mustafa Sudžuka, a musician from
Sarajevo, was already playing professionally by 1898. At that time the
clarinet was mainly associated with military bands. The musician with
the Sephardic first name Merkuš may have been Merkuš Alkalaj, who was
born in 1886 and killed during the Second World War. The third member of
the trio remains unidentified. The trio recorded a large repertoire of
Bosnian instrumental tunes and songs, one song from Serbia, one from
Vranje, four songs in Ladino (Editor's note: see above), and several
Ottoman pieces, most of them marches."
