Kazakhstan will serve as the backdrop for a new international music project produced in collaboration with Chinese media giant Hunan TV. Dimash Kudaibergen, Kazakhstan’s most internationally recognized vocalist, will take on the role of executive producer for the first time in his career.
According to Dimashnews.com, filming is scheduled from September 8 to 29 in several cities across Kazakhstan, including Turkestan, Almaty, Aktau, and Astana. The project will bring together vocalists from various countries to showcase their talents while exploring the country’s landscapes and cultural heritage.
“Almost ten years ago, my journey on Hunan TV began with the show Singer. Today, I am returning in a new role, as the creator of an international show. This opens a new chapter in the history of cultural cooperation and music, bringing people together around the world,” Kudaibergen said.
Partnership with Hunan TV
The show marks a renewed partnership between Kudaibergen and Hunan TV, one of China’s leading entertainment networks. Earlier this year, the artist announced that he had signed an agreement with Cai Huaiyun, head of the Hunan TV media holding company. The agreement paves the way for the launch of a new music reality show, with Kudaibergen at the helm as executive producer.
Fans responded enthusiastically on social media. “How proud I am of you! You always try to put Kazakhstan on the map. We will be here to support you,” one follower wrote. Another added, “A new chapter, a new role, interesting work, and great responsibility. This is a wonderful reason to be proud and recognize your talent.”
