Salih Uglla Peshteri was an Albanian performer of epic poetry (Albanian: lahutar or rapsod) from Ugao, in Pešter a sparsely populated region near Sjenica, modern day Sandžak.[1][2][3][4][5]
Life
According to Robert Elsie, Salih Uglla Peshteri was born in 1866.[6] According to Albanian sources he was a Catholic Albanian from the tribe of Kelmendi while Parry believes he was a Muslim Albanian from Shkodër.[7] Up to the age of 30, he sang only in Albanian but began singing in Bosnian after he married a Bosnian woman. Uglla was able to sing in both languages for hours making him a popular lahutar.[8] In 1934 he sang the "Song of Baghdad" in Novi Pazar and it is believed that this song was taught to him by another bard.[9]

These singers from Novi Pazar in the Sanjak were willing and able to reproduce the same epic songs in Bosnian (Serbo-Croatian) and Albanian"
