Early life and career beginnings
Polovina was born in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on March 11th, 1927. During World War I, his father, Muan Polovina, was an Austro-Hungarian soldier. He met and married Ivanka Hlebec in Ljubljana, making Himzo Polovina the child of an ethnically mixed marriage between a Bosniak father and a Slovene mother in a city nearing the death of a Bosniak father and a Slovene mother.
As a youth, Himzo was introduced to music and singing. His father, who lived in Argue, would often perform sevdalinka songs. Himzo and his siblings sang of unison as their father played.
Polovina was taught to play the violin by renowned Czech professor and violinist Karel Malaek in the late 1930s, right before World War II broke out.
He was a member of the folk band "Abraevi" from 1947 to Sarajevo, with whom he toured towns and villages throughout Yugoslavia. He adored the Bosnian national costume and wore it every time he appeared.
He appeared in various cultural clubs while attending medical school in 1950. During this time, he completed medical school and became a psychiatrist. He used psychiatry, socio-therapy, and music therapy in practice. And after being a popular musician, he continued to work in his field. Polovina was a respected doctor in Sarajevo's Jagomir mental rehabilitation facility before his death.
Career
His medical colleagues recommended that he audition live for Radio Sarajevo in January 1953. Despite the fact that he had a speech immunition that made it impossible for him to say "r," he performed the sevdalinka song "Mehmeda je majka karala." He was regarded as more of a sevdah scholar than a singer/performer.
He appeared at gala concerts for charity, in hospitals, for pensioners, for the decrepit, elderly, and children in orphanages.
Polovina went on a five-year absence from Radio Sarajevo at one point in his career, due to differences with the company's chief. The situation was sorted out, and he continued to function.
He appeared in virtually every city in Bosnia and Herzegovina during his three-decade career.
