Nihad Hrustanbegovic y Grace Jones en el Escenario- Holandaby Harley Jones |
 El acordeonista y compositor Nihad Hrustanbegovic actuó en un interesante concierto junto a la famosa cantante Grace Jones –“I´ve Seen That Face Before” el pasado 19 de Marzo en el Paradiso, Ámsterdam.La escena comienza con el escenario a oscuras, con un foco apuntando a Nihad. Grace jones aparece de repente de entre la oscuridad. Jones acaricia la cabeza de Nihad y exclama: “¿Estas asustado chico?, no te voy a hacer daño” en ese momento Nihad toma su acordeón y firmemente responde: “¡No, no lo estoy!” Grace Jones se queda de pie junto al acordeonista y usando sus ya conocidas artes, comienza a cantar”I´ve seen that face before” solamente para Nihad, quien eleva sus ojos hacia ella, susurrando y acariciando su acordeón con su música. Ella, sensual y elegante, mueve sus radiantes piernas y el rápido movimiento de los dedos de Nihad sobre su acordeón son los únicos puntos iluminados en este juego de seducción. Jones, con su profunda voz, más la carga emocional del acordeón provocó importantes ovaciones por parte del público asistente. Face Before Video Link |

 A black Fantini-Allodi CP11 double cassotto 120 bass piano accordion was stolen from Allodi Accordions, London, on Thursday January 5th.Above is a photo of a similar instrument of the same model. Emilio Allodi says: “I cannot recall exactly if this one had the Fantini or Allodi name but whichever it was, it was written in chrome lettering. The serial number (marked inside the accordion) is either 789 or 790. The "customers" were 3 Romanians, including a female, who hid the instrument under her skirt. It is likely that they will try to sell this instrument on, and therefore I want you all to be warned, and also to guard against them trying to steal from you as well”.
