Haris "Hari" Džinović (born 26 September 1951) is a popular Bosnian pop-folk singer-songwriter.
He began his music career in 1975 in his hometown Sarajevo, as a singer and composer of folk music when pop and evergreen music were more dominant in the Balkan area, so he preferred to compose for other performers. Soon, fascinated by the Romani music, he founded the band "Sar e Roma" in 1981, with a famous group of Roma musicians. They played numerous concerts throughout the world. Together with them, Haris Džinović recorded three albums between 1982–1986, which have been published as a CD compilation many years after their team-work.
In 1989, he started again with folk music and made of specific sound and style for his songs, which became new urban songs accompanied with some kind of ethno sound. With his first album, Haris already had a great success and almost every song became a great hit. Through all these years those hits are on the very top of the music charts. He has received a great number of audience and music experts' awards for this.
Encouraged with this success, in 1991 he recorded the second album, published for the same record company as the first album – "Diskoton", Sarajevo. Just at the moment when the songs from it fascinated the audience again, Bosnian war commenced at the Balkans area. Haris retreated to Austria and played many benefit concerts for his compatriots from Bosnia. Finally, in the 1994 he went to France, living in Cannes and Saint-Tropez and Spain for a while, and ultimately moving to Paris in 1997, where he has been living since. Thanks to singing folk music and traveling all over the world he had learned several languages. At his performances he sings other performers' songs and does it in different foreign languages; English, Spanish, French, Russian, Greek,... and also plays many music instruments.
