The final
stage of the international vocal competition named after Roza Baglanova was
held in Astana. The finalists performed at the Kazakhstan Central Concert Hall,
named in honor of the legendary People’s Artist. Sixteen participants, selected
online from hundreds of applicants, performed on stage. Among those who made it
to the third stage were singers from Central Asian countries. The best of the
best were judged by renowned artists from the region. Each contestant had to
perform two songs accompanied by an orchestra, with one being from Roza
Baglanova’s repertoire. The prize fund for the first international competition
was five million tenge.
«I’ve been listening to Roza Baglanova’s songs
since childhood. I try to sing all her songs, but it’s difficult to perform
them because she has her own unique technique. I come from Uzbekistan, and our
people have known the legendary singer very well since the Soviet times. She
has a one-of-a-kind voice,» said Amanzhol Yeskermessov, contestant from
Uzbekistan.
