Zaim Imamović died in Sarajevo during the Siege of Sarajevo, on 2 February 1994.

He was one of the founders of the Ilidža Folk Music Festival in Sarajevo. After initial success of the festival, intending to stir up new trends in traditional music, Zaim Imamović retreated from the festival at the beginning of 1970s.

Imamović was born into a Bosniak family in Mrkonjić Grad and after a year his family moved to Travnik and there he lived for fifteen years when, in 1936, he moved to Sarajevo. He lived in Sarajevo for the rest of his life occasionally vacationing in Počitelj where he had a cottage. In Sarajevo he attended textile school and was discovered by a choir leader Cvjetko Rihtman in the cultural society "Gajret" where his sister Đula and his brother Hadžo also sang. When Radio Sarajevo became operational following the liberation of Sarajevo in April 1945, he started performing on and became an employee of Radio Sarajevo, often sleeping under the piano overnight so not to miss the morning telecast.

Zaim Imamović (Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: Заим Имамовић; 26 August 1920 – 2 February 1994) was a Bosnian sevdalinka-folk singer, accordionist and author.
