Concert stage”

Veliki koncert Nihada Hrustanbegovica u Amsterdamu: OVACIJE BH. MAESTRU NA HARMONICI

Divno je bilo sinoc nazociti solistickom koncertu bh. maestra na harmonici Nihada Hrustanbegovica u Amsterdamu. Prepuna dvorana, sjajan ambijent ostat ce upamcen i za malu grupu Bosanaca ponosnih na sve ono sto su vidjeli u Het Concertgebouw, kultnoj muzickoj pozornici u zemlji, po akustici za simfonijske koncerte, medju tri najznacajnije u svijetu. Viseminutni aplauz i ovacije prezadovoljen publike najbolja su potvrda o kako raskosnom talentu bh. korijena se radi a potvrdili su to i dva Holandjanina, jedan muzicki kriticar iz dnevnog lista Trow te predstavnik UAF, holandskoga udruzenja koje je stipendiralo naseg Nihada nakon dolaska u ovu zemlju. Oni su govorili na promociji Nihadovog novog cd 'Opus 7' The Cross-over' koji je bh. umjetnik potpisivao u foajeu Koncertne dvorane nakon nastupa. Nesumnjivo, rijec je o vrhuncu dosadasnje karijere Nihada Hrustanbegovica koji je vec postao stalni gost uglednih tv programa u ovoj zemlji.

'Vi vidite imena slavnih muzicara svijeta na zidovima ove dvorane: Bacha, Mozarta, Schumana a ja vas uvjeravam da medju suvremenim muzickim genijima svijeta jedno mjesto zasluzuje i maestro na harmonici Nihad Hrustanbegovic, rekao je Stan Rijven iz lista 'Trouw' uz ovacije odusevljene publike.

Na ovom mjestu moramo cestitati nasem maestru na divnoj i maestralnoj veceri kojoj je svjedocila i bh. ambasadorica u Holandiji Miranda Sidran i jos jedna grupa Bosanaca, medju kojima i nas dva s Burek bloga.

Cestitamo i hvala ti, Nihade!

Enchanting play on the stage between Nihad Hrustanbegovic and Grace Jones

Thursday March 19th 2009 accordionist and composer Nihad Hrustanbegovic made in music center Paradiso in Amsterdam his entrance as soloist in an eminent artistic designed concert by Grace Jones during the song ‘I’ve seen that face before’

A completely dark stage. Only one spot is pointed at Nihad. He stretches his body and lifts his head when Grace Jones, coming up out of the dark, caresses his head and says: ‘You’re afraid boy? I’m not going to hurt you!’ Nihad is rather surprised because of the dark, fearful mask with two little read lights on her head, uncovering only her intensive eyes. Then Nihad seizes his accordion more firmly en answers decisively: ‘No, I’m not!’

And then she takes place with her long, famous legs on a turn table, right next to him, gripping the climbing pole and starting to sing ‘I’ve seen that face before’. As it seems, only for him. Strings of black material, tied up on a huge fan, waving in front of Nihad’s eyes. He continues to raise his eyes on her. Until the moment he surrenders and caresses his accordion with his music.

Her sensual, elegantly moving gleaming legs and Nihad’s fast moving fingers over de accordion keys, are the only subjects lighted up in this game of temptation. Her sultry, deep, low voice en the emotional loaded sounds out of Nihad’s accordion provoke an euphoric acclaim by the audience. Leaving the stage Grace once again caresses head and hair of Nihad. A few seconds later Nihad, still filled with adrenaline, follows her.

Ličnosti godine u bh zajednici u Holandiji 2007: NIHAD HRUSTANBEGOVIĆ, BRUNO ČULO I ALDA ALAGIĆ

Objavio http://burek.blogger.ba/

Kao i ranijih godina Uprava Platforme BiH u Kraljevini Holandiji izabrala je najistaknutije Bosance i Hercegovce u protekloj godini a povodom 10 godina postojanja krovne organizacije bh udruženja i građana u ovoj zemlji dodijeljene su i plakete zaslužnim pojedincima i kolektivima. Jednoglasno su izabrani: Nihad Hrustanbegović, maestro na harmonici iz oblasti kultura i umjetnost, Bruno Čulo, vrlo uspjesni 16-godišnji džudista iz Brede, oblast sporta i Alda Alagić, arhitektica u kategoriji angažman i rezultati u struci.
Maestro Hrustanbegović (na slici) je obilježio 2007 godinu brojnim koncertima na velikim pozornicama u Holandiji i svijetu te izdao vrlo dobro prihvaćeni CD klasične muzike. Bruno Čulo je postigao vrlo dobre rezultate na brojnim međunarodnim turnirima gdje nastupa pod zastavom BiH a Alda je diplomirala na Tehničkom univerzitetu Eindhoven sa ocjenom 10, briljantnim diplomskim radom koji je izazvao pažnju i medija.
Plakete u povodu 10 godina postojanja Platforme BiH iz reda građana i udruženja iz BiH u Holandiji dobili su pojedinci: Jusuf Elezović, Dževad Kurić, Viktor Majdančić, Naida Ribić, Fuad Šabeta, Bećir Zečić a posmrtno je plaketu dobio mr Fehim Begtašević. Od organizacija i udruženja nagrađeni su: IKC Bošnjak iz Arnhema, Udruženje građana Bosna iz Eindhovena i Grupa mladih iz Meppela.
Godina važnih jubileja u bh zajednici u Holandiji pamtit će se po još jednom važnom događaju. Povodom 15 godina od prvih dolazaka bh izbjeglica u Holandiju, Uprava Platforme BiH donijela je odluku o dodjeli plaketa za organizacije i pojedince iz reda holandskih građana i organizacija kao posebnim vidom zahvale Holandiji koja je prihvatila preko 40000 prognanih Bosanaca i Hercegovaca tokom agresije na BiH te pomogla integraciji naših ljudi u holandsko društvo. Nagrađeni su: Ab de Buck, Bram Bregman, Casper ten Dam, Chris Keulemans, Dion van den Berg, Jehane Woerko i Lize den Oudsten. Od organizacije i udruženja plakete su dodijeljene Političkom komitetu (Politiek Comité) Stari Most iz Den Haga i Platformi pravde (Vrede's Platform) iz Montforta.
Svečana dodjela priznanja i plaketa uz poseban muzički program planirana je u subotu 16 februara u Oud Beijerlandu kada će šira bh zajednica moći čestitati nagrađenima koji su uspjehom pronose ime BiH u svijetu.
Iako je pomalo nerazumljiv izbor troje ljudi za najbolje u protekloj godini kada to valjda svugdje bude 'u jednini', potreba da se sto veci broj ljudi okupi oko bh zajednice i na takav nacin veze uz maticu domovinu presudila je kod ljudi iz krovne organizacije bh udruzenja i klubova u Holandiji da izaberu tri licnosti godine, sto se donekle moze opravdati.
Svim nagradjenim cestitamo!
