Boban Rajovic Invites Young Nina on Stage in Kolasin
Back from a successful US tour, Boban Rajovic stepped into the crowd on the square in Kolasin, and when he heard little Nina sing he brought her up on stage before the whole town.
- Boban Rajovic played a concert on the town square in Kolasin right after a successful US tour.
- During the show he stepped into the crowd to sing with his fans, as he has at several previous concerts.
- A girl named Nina asked him for a song, and when he heard her sing he brought her on stage before the entire square.
- Nina sang "Pjevat cemo sta nam srce zna" and earned a big ovation from the audience.
Boban Rajovic came home from his tour across the United States and went straight to the town square in Kolasin, where he put on a concert to remember in front of a packed crowd. The audience welcomed him as one of their own, and he answered the only way a singer who loves being in the middle of his people knows how.
At one point the performance left the stage, as it has so many times before. Rajovic walked down into the crowd, handed over the microphone, sang along with them and turned the concert into a shared celebration. And it was right there, in the middle of the crowd, that the moment everyone is still talking about took place.
Among the hands raised toward him was little Nina. The girl asked him to sing “something by Sinan,” calling out from the audience like everyone else. When he came closer and heard her humming along, he realized he was standing in front of a voice that deserved more than a single row in the crowd.
How did one child’s voice bring the whole concert to a halt?
Instead of simply singing the requested song and moving on, Rajovic took Nina by the hand and led her through the crowd straight up to the stage. According to those who were there, the square fell almost silent in that moment, because no one knew what was about to happen.
And then the girl began to sing. She performed “Pjevat cemo sta nam srce zna” with a confidence you would not expect from someone so young. The audience listened in silence at first, and when she finished, the square erupted in applause.
Visibly moved, Rajovic stood beside her and let her savor the moment. There was no staging and no announcement, just a singer who recognized talent and an audience that rewarded it. For many in Kolasin, that was the image of the night.
Why does Rajovic keep stepping into the crowd?
Stepping down among the audience has long been Rajovic’s trademark. At several concerts before this one, fans have seen him leave the stage, sing surrounded by the crowd and erase the line between performer and the people who came to hear him. In Kolasin, that gesture came with an emotional payoff.
The singer himself described the moment with Nina as one of the most beautiful he has experienced on stage. It was not a grand production or a spectacle of fireworks, but an honest encounter on the square, where a child sang before thousands and got her own little concert inside a big one.
After the United States, where he performed for the diaspora, this return to home ground carried a special tone. The audience saw a singer who, no matter how far he travels, feels most at home in the middle of his own people, ready to hand the microphone even to a little girl.
And you, would you love it if your favorite singer called you up on stage in the middle of a concert, or are moments like these better watched from the crowd?
