1.) Valentin… Read Full Bio ↴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.
New Valentino lead singer - Gogo Prušina helps make the fourth album. Zoran Šerbedžija joined the group as well as a new guitar player in 1988.
Fifth album - "Ponekad noću kad grad spava" (Sometimes when she sleeps at night) (1989). Željko Brodarić - Jappa was the producer, Samir Šestan was on the keyboards, and a guitar player Zoran Petrović.
As the War on the Balkans began in 1992, "Valentino", like many other groups, stopped working and making new music. After the War Zijo "Valentino" gathered the group together and got to working on another ablum titled “Moja kuća putujuća” (My Traveling House) with guests such as Hari Varešanović (Hari Mata Hari), Saša Lošić (Plavi Orkestar) and Alen Islamović.
Six years after that album comes “Sve su se moje cure udale” (All of my girls have gotten married), which ended up sounding nothing like pop-rock sounds of Valentino but rather like "narodna" or country folk music.
In 2006 there was "Valentino 7" under the production of City Records.
2.) Valentino is an Italo Disco project produced by Mauro Farina, Giuliano Crivellente, Franco Diaferia and Fabrizio Rizzolo, who also put his voice in the songs. Their hits are “Tonight”, “Tender Love”, “For Your Love” and “You Are The Sunshine”.
3.) Valentino is an eurodance act that released the single “Brand New Place”.
4.) Valentino Kanzyani is one of Slovenia's biggest music exports. As well as spinning techno and house on three decks across the world to huge crowds and acclaim he has released a barrage of dancefloor anthems for labels such as Primevil, Yoshi Toshi, Intec, Wet Musik, Tronic, Primate, Consumer Recreation and his and Umeks jointly run Recycled Loops and Earresistible imprints. If anyone can lay claim to putting Slovenia on the techno map then the name Valentino Kanzyani ranks high as one of its biggest propagators.
Already a big name DJ within his native Slovenia, in 1995 a club called Ambasada Gavioli opened and Valentino Kanzyani became known as the man behind one of Slovenias most famous venues. During a three and a half year period he booked and played with literally every DJ from around the globe but as the new millennium approached he left to oncentrate on his own DJing and production work. It was after going into the studio with his old friend, Umek that Valentino was to release his first record as Recycled Loops on Primevil in the summer of 1999. Thus, Valentino Kanzyanis name was soon to be heard in DJ sets all over the world and similarly his DJ gigs went supernova as he joined the jet set elite of globe-trotting record spinners.
Following the success of their initial release Umek and Valentino set up Recycled Loops as a label and have never looked back. Now having released some 12 records the duo also co-run Earresistible for their more house inspired production work whilst Valentino Kanzyanis single-handed production skills have graced labels as varied as Intec with the House Soul EP and Tronic (Burros Eslovenos) to Yoshi Toshi with the massive Flying whilst he has most recently remixed Carl Coxs new single, gaining Essential Selection status from Pete Tong.
Earresistible evolved due to the pairs shared passion for tribal house and elements of this and Valentinos techno side can be witnessed on the expertly mixed CDs Rock The Discotheque Volumes 1 and 2 (Matrix Musik) and the 40 odd remixes he has carried out on labels such as 23rd Century, Premier Sounds, 20:20, Urbana, Shine, ZYX, Intec, Wet Musik and the list goes on
Valentinos DJing has taken him to every corner of the world. His three deck skills are second to none.
5. Valentino is an Albanian singer (known from the song "Linda Linda")

Valentino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sav posten svijet u svojim snovima
A tebe ovdje ne vidim
Telefon je kod tebe prestao da postoji
Nema te kuci signal govori
Pa dobro gdje li si
Zeni koja govori dok smije se
Koja uvijek mijenja svoju stranu ulice
Ljubi te i krije oci prelijepe
Prelijepe, prelijepe
Ref. 2x
Nema je nema, ubicu se
Sve sam, sve izgubio zbog nje
Odavno sam do kraja navukao zavjese
I soba mirise na duhove
Kad sklopim oci smiju se
Svijece su na stolu odavno dogorile
Umijesto tebe vino
Ja grijem golim rukama
Grijem golim rukama, rukama
Ref. 2x
Prelijepe, prelijepe
Nema je nema...
The first verse in Valentino's song "Nema Je Nema" paints a picture of a still and quiet night where everyone else is honest and peaceful except for the person the artist is addressing. The artist expresses how he cannot see this person, and the phone stopped working, indicating that they are not reachable. The second verse has an air of suspicion, as the artist wonders where this person could be. He hears rumors that he shouldn't trust her, particularly because of how she hides her beautiful eyes. The artist's paranoia grows with every passing moment, leading him to feel as though he has lost everything, and the burden of the loss has become too much for him.
The chorus repeats the title of the song, "Nema Je Nema," meaning "she is not there." The artist is driven to the brink by the absence of this person, and the chorus suggests that he would kill himself because he has lost everything. In the bridge, the artist describes an eerie scene, mentioning how he has closed all of the curtains and smells the spirits in the room. However, he can still hear the person in his thoughts, making him feel even more isolated.
Overall, "Nema Je Nema" is a song of desperation and paranoia fueled by the absence of a person the artist cannot locate. The lyrics and melody convey the emotions of someone who has lost everything and feels as though they're at their wits end.

12 je i noc je odavno pred vratima
It's already midnight and the night is almost over
Sav posten svijet u svojim snovima
The honest world is in its dreams
A tebe ovdje ne vidim
But I don't see you here
Telefon je kod tebe prestao da postoji
Your phone seems to have stopped existing
Nema te kuci signal govori
There's no signal of you being at your place
Pa dobro gdje li si
So where are you?
Kazu ljudi stari ne vjeruj
Old folks say don't trust
Zeni koja govori dok smije se
A woman who speaks while smiling
Koja uvijek mijenja svoju stranu ulice
Who always changes her side of the street
Ljubi te i krije oci prelijepe
Kissing you and hiding her beautiful eyes
Prelijepe, prelijepe
Beautiful, beautiful
Nema je nema, ubicu se
She's not here, I'll kill myself
Sve sam, sve izgubio zbog nje
I lost everything because of her
Odavno sam do kraja navukao zavjese
I've closed the curtains all the way a long time ago
I soba mirise na duhove
And the room smells of ghosts
Kad sklopim oci smiju se
When I close my eyes, they laugh
Svijece su na stolu odavno dogorile
The candles on the table have long burned out
Umijesto tebe vino
Wine instead of you
Ja grijem golim rukama
I warm myself with bare hands

Chorus repeated twice
Prelijepe, prelijepe
Beautiful, beautiful
Nema je nema...
She's not here...

Grupa Valentino nastala je 1982. godine, a osnovao je gitarista Zijo Rizvanbegović koji je godinama planirao pokretanje takvog sastava. Postupno je skupljao muzičare, a za pevačem je tragao punih godinu dana, pa je na kraju dao oglas u listu "Oslobođenje". Osnovu grupe, pored Zije, činili su pevač Suad Jakirlić Jaka i basista Emir Čolaković. Prve nastupe imali su kao predgrupa Bijelom dugmetu na koncertima u Bosni. U Beogradu su se prvi put predstavili aprila 1984. godine. Tada su kao gosti nastupili u Domu sindikata na Bajaginom koncertu povodom objavljivanja njegovog debija "Pozitivna geografija".
Tim nastupom oni su promovisali svoj debi "No 1". Na ploči je kao gost u jednoj pesmi gitaru svirao Goran Bregović. Kao hit godine 1985. izdvojila se pesma "Volim te još" u kojoj je drugi vokal pevala Amila Sulejmanović. Uoči snimanja ploče "Valentino II" u grupu dolaze klavijaturista Nikša Bratoš i bubnjar Ademir Volić Kufi koji su pre toga bili u sastavu Bonton Baja. Dolaskom Nikše Bratoša dobijaju instrumentalističko pojačanje, on na ploči svira električnu akustičnu gitaru, klavijature i saksofon. Sa te ploče izdvojile su se pesme "Bez tebe" i "Jugovići". Produkcijom trećeg albuma bavio se Nikša Bratoš, a na njemu su imali još jedan hit "Oka tvoja dva". U to vreme su već uveliko izgradili pop orijentisan stil sa napadnim refrenima i otvorenim koketiranjem sa folk zvukom. Popularnost koju su prvih godina rada stekli, polako je počela da opada posle treće ploče, jer su se vrteli u zatvorenom krugu sopstvenog šablona.
Posle te ploče došlo je i do osipanja grupe. Nikša Bratoš je prešao u Crvenu jabuku, pevač Jaka je 1987. godine otišao u JNA a po povratku je prestao da se bavi muzikom i postao asistent na fakultetu. Zamenio ga je Gogo Prusina sa kojim su snimili četvrti album na kome se našao za Valentino neobičan instrumental "Saksofoni lete u nebo" koji je Zijo komponovao tokom boravka na Tajvanu. U grupu je 1988. godine stigao novi gitarista Zoran Šerbedžija.
Peti album "Ponekad noću kad grad spava", snimili su 1989. godine uz pomoć producenta Željka Brodarića Jape (ex Metak). Sa početkom rata, grupa prestaje sa radom i jedino je u muzici ostao Zijo Rizvanbegović. On živi u Nemačkoj gde je objavio ploču "Moja kuća putujuća" na kojoj je i pesma "Nemam više ofentala duldunga" u kojoj gostuju Hari Varešanović, Saša Lošić i Alen Islamović. Na toj ploči su se našli demo snimci koje je Zijo uradio tokom boravka u Nemačkoj.
Članovi grupe su rasuti po svetu, a u Bosni, tačnije zapadnom delu Mostara, jedino je ostao Gogo Prusina koji radi kao muzički urednik na hrvatskom radiju Herceg Bosna. On povremeno peva po nemačkim klubovima, a 1996. godine nastupao je na Melodijama Mostara sa pesmom "Tiho tiho" i Cro feštu u Neumu sa "Kad bi ove ruže male".
