Concert stage”

“ The accordion performer and composer made with using of many different musical genres his own style, and also switch easily from one style to another. He use his impressive technical skills to provide music colours and depth. Very fast vibrato’s, variations in touches, melody lines which he puts in different layers en letting them walking around.

Ferfürisches Spiel auf dem Podium zwischen Nihad Hrustanbegovic und Grace Jones

Am Donnerstag 19. März 2009 machte Akkordeonist und Komponist Nihad Hrustanbegovic in Musikzentrum Paradiso in Amsterdam sein Entree als Solist in einem hochstehend künstlerisch Vormgegeben Konzert von Grace Jones in das Nummer ‘I’ve seen that face before’.

Das Podium ist komplet dunkel. Nur eines Spot ist auf Nihad gerichtet. Dann erhebt er sich plötzlich als Grace Jones, von dem Nichts auf gekommen, seiner Kopf streichelt und sagt: ‘You’re afraid boy? I’m not going to hurt you!’ Nihad ist ziemlich überrascht wegen die dunkle, furchterregende Maske met zwei kleine rote Lichte auf ihre Kopf. Die Maske lasst nur ihre heftige Augen frei. Dann ergreift Nihad seines Akkordeon noch kräftiger und sagt resolut: ‘No, I’m not!’

Mit ihre berühmte, lange Beine steht sie auf eine Drehscheibe, direkt neben Nihad. Sie ergreift der glänzende Klettermast und fangt an zu singen mit ‘I’ve seen that face before’. Scheinbar nur für ihm allein. Schwarze Stoffsträhne, befestigt an einem riesige Ventilator, flattern für seine Augen. Augen, die er erhebt zu ihr. Dann ergebt er sich und liebkost Seine Akkordeon.

Ihre sinnliche und elegant bewegende blinkende Beine und Nihads schnelle Finger über die Tasten seines Instrument, sind auf dem Podium die einzige beleuchte Elemente dieses Verführungsspiel. Ihre schwüle, tiefe Stimme und die emotionell geladen Klänge aus dem Akkordeon verursachen eines euphorisches Jauchzen beim Publikum. Noch einmal streichelt Grace sein Kopf und Haare wenn sie nach dem Lied das Podium verlasst. Nihad, noch ganz gefüllt mit Adrenaline, folgt wenige Sekunden später.
