A special atmosphere of
friendship, creativity, and inspiration surrounds the Silk Way Star project,
according to the artists, jury, and production team. The contest, held in
Astana, has brought together renowned performers from 12 countries.
Participants will showcase not only their vocal talents to a global audience of
over a billion viewers, but also the rich cultural traditions of their
homelands. Host Shyngys Beibituly noted that preparations and filming are being
kept strictly under wraps. Costumes and stage looks created exclusively for
each episode of Silk Way Star are not yet permitted to be shared on social
media. The suspense will last until the premiere, which promises audiences a
dazzling cultural extravaganza.
«There’s a sense of
competition on stage, since everyone is representing their own country and
wants to win. But backstage, the contestants have already become friends - I
can really feel it. I’ve made friends with all of them myself, and the jury is
wonderful too. It doesn’t feel like work here - it feels like being surrounded
by friends,» Beibituly said.
A jury member from
Malaysia also praised the spirit of friendship and the project’s high level of
organization, noting that such cultural initiatives provide Kazakhstan with
additional momentum in advancing on the international stage.
«I met ambassadors around
the world. I have promoted Silk Way and I promoted the country, you know, and I
feel that I will bring my friends, my family, and also not only that, to bring
other nearby Asian countries like Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines,
Cambodia, Singapore, everybody to come enjoy because this year Malaysia has a
chair for the ASEAN conference,» said
Dato' Dania Abd Wahab, Silk Way Star jury member from Malaysia.
