Biography

Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (1982 – present)

There are multiple musicians/bands under the same name.

1.) Valentino — Pop-rock group from Sarajevo “Valentino” was founded in 1982. Group founder was the lead guitarist and songwriter Zijo Rizvanbegović - Valentino. Zijo posted an advertisement in “Oslobođenje” (Sarajevo daily newspaper) looking for a lead singer and found Suad Jakirlić - Jaka.

Valentino was a favorite of Goran Bregović, so they toured together with Bijelo Dugme.
Goran Bregović played guitar on Valentino 1st album for a song “Pazi na Ritam”. The Hit Song from that album was the song “Volim te još” (I still love you).

Second album was titled “Valentino II” and released in 1985. There were new additions to the group Nikša Bratoš (on keyboards) and Ademir Volić - Kufi (drummer). They previously played in a band “Bonton Baja” which dissolved because of some government investigation concerning taxes. This caused their LP record to be pulled off the shelves minutes after being released, but a few people were lucky enough to purchase a handful. They are considered a collector’s item and are very rare.

The original line up of Valentino group consisted of: Zijo Rizvanbegović (guitar), Nikša Bratoš (keyboards), Suad Jakirlić (lead vocal), Emir Ćolaković (bass) i Ademir Volić (drums).

Third album came out two years later (1987). The Hit song was “Oka tvoja dva” (Your two eyes).

Suad Jakirlić joined the army and after returning did not rejoin the group, or continue with his music career. In 1988 Nikša Bratoš moves to a new band [artist:Crvena Jabuka]. Dražen Ričl and Aljoša Buha, the main members of Crvena Jabuka died in 1987.

    This page is fucked.. Valentino is also a band from Sarajevo, BiH. The stats are all intermixed with other artists with the same name, along with some nationalistic douchebags who uploaded the default photo. Hopefully last.fm has a solution for this.
