«Representing my country on the international stage is
both a great honor and a profound responsibility. I am committed to doing my
utmost to live up to the trust placed in me. I want to introduce international
audiences to our traditional musical instruments and their distinctive sounds.
That is why we have incorporated the Kazakh dombyra and sybyzgy, as well as
elements of throat singing, into our musical compositions. Through this
project, I aim to present traditional Kazakh songs in a fresh, contemporary
arrangement,» shared Rukhiya Baidukenova,
