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.
