As a composer, Qudaibergen also unveiled his new original piece titled “Samgau” (“To Soar”), a song that embodies his artistic tribute to his homeland, reported the sport event’s press service on Oct. 15.
Performed in Kazakh, the song tells the story of a falcon rising into the sky and embracing the world. The piece was first introduced earlier this month at his sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden in New York and later featured in his “Stranger” shows in Mexico.
The artist’s performance included several hits, among them a modern arrangement of “Tau Ishinde” (“Inside the mountains”), a beloved song by renowned Kazakh poet and composer Saken Seifullin.
Following his musical performance, the audience witnessed a proud moment for Kazakhstan as tennis player Alexander Shevchenko claimed victory over Serbian athlete Laslo Djere, winning 7:6 (7:1), 7:6 (14:12) after a tense 2-hour and 8-minute match.
The evening blended sports, art, and national pride, showcasing Kazakhstan’s growing presence on the world stage.
