Bosnia & Herzegovina: Orchestral ballad presented by Maya Sar
Baku, March 17 (AZERTAC). In an intimate televised event in Sarajevo, talented singer Maya Sar presented Korake Ti Znam, a beautiful orchestral ballad produced in collaboration with an Italian maestro.
In the intimate setting of the Hotel Europe in Sarajevo tonight, talented singer/songwriter Maya Sar presented Bosnia & Herzegovina`s Eurovision Song Contest entry Korake ti znam to the world. It was also broadcasted right here on Eurovision.tv.
The song was arranged by Maya`s husband Mahir Sarihodžić and Italian maestro Adriano Pennino, who amongst other things is famous for being a producer of the much revered San Remo festival in Italy.
Korake ti znam (or I Know Your Steps as it is translated into English), is a beautiful orchestral ballad; very visual in nature and yet not overpowering. Maya has a very pure voice and sings the song perfectly, which puts her in good stead for the big stage at Baku Crystal Hall on the 24th of May, where she will perform in the second Semi-Final.
The director Ahmed Imamovic designed the entire visual presentation of tonight`s show. According to BHRT, "the desire of the director and BHRT was that the audience look back to romantic times such as when Vienna cafés were in vogue".
In attendance at the show were close family and friends of Maya as well as friends of the Eurovision Song Contest. A number of special guests also appeared on the show including an opening performance by Maya with Sabahudin-Baho Kurt, together singing What A Wonderful World and Djevojko mala.
Other guests included 2007 representative Marija Šestić who performed Samo jednom se ljubi and Deen who represented Bosnia & Herzegovina in 2004. He performed Fly me to the Moon tonight.
In addition to Korake ti znam, Maya sang Kraj potoka bistre vode in a more traditional Bosnian style, showing her versatility as an artist.
After presenting Korake ti znam, the official video was shown for the first time, filmed on location in Kakanj and Počitelj.
During the last few weeks Maya and her team have been working very hard to make Korake ti znam as perfect as possible by enlisting the help of maestro Adriano Pennino who has been one of the leading producers of the San Remo competition in Italy for years.
Together with the Roma Sinfonietta orchestra, Maya recorded Korake ti znam at Pennino`s studios in Rome. It is worth noting that the orchestra regularly collaborates with Oscar winner Ennio Morricone and singers including Quincey Jones, Roger Waters and Michael Bolton.
