Ten days ago, Dimash Qudaibergen kicked off the continuation of his “Stranger” world tour with a concert at Madison Square Garden. Foreign media outlets continue to cover his shows in the U.S. and Mexico, focusing on the fascinating details and moving impressions left by the Kazakh artist’s performances.
Caspian Post — an Azerbaijani information and analytical portal offering a wide range of content, including in-depth articles, expert analyses, insightful commentary, and breaking news about the Caspian region, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia.
In its article “Dimash Qudaibergen Brings Kazakhstan’s Voice to Madison Square Garden in Landmark Concert”, the publication highlights the multicultural significance of Dimash’s performance in New York:
“For the first time in history, the national anthem of Kazakhstan was performed in the halls of Madison Square Garden, marking a historic event: the world-renowned artist Dimash Qudaibergen took the stage with his solo concert ‘Stranger’.
This evening was not just a musical performance but a cultural milestone: thousands of fans from around the world witnessed a unique fusion of East and West, tradition and modernity, under the guidance of Kazakhstan’s beloved artist.
From tradition to innovation, Dimash Qudaibergen’s historic night at Madison Square Garden marked not only Kazakhstan’s debut at this iconic venue but also set a new standard for what global music can be — boundless, sincere, and deeply unifying.”
Saga Noticias, an information portal providing diverse news for the Spanish-speaking community, published an article after Dimash’s first concert in Mexico — one that has remained in the Top 5 most-read stories for nearly a week: “Dimash Kudaibergen Triumphs in Mexico: A Musical Genius.”
“Dimash Qudaibergen achieved great success performing at the Auditorio Nacional. Thanks to Ocesa, this 31-year-old artist from Kazakhstan came to this wonderful venue and created a huge sensation.
Dimash Qudaibergen’s triumph at the Auditorio Nacional is not only his personal success but also a testament to the power of music as a universal language. This event shows that artistry and genuine talent transcend cultural and geographical boundaries. It’s amazing to see how an artist from Kazakhstan, fluent in several languages and instruments, managed to connect so deeply with the Mexican audience.
This phenomenon highlights the crucial role fan communities such as the Dears play in promoting and achieving success for artists in today’s globalized world. Their passion and dedication not only made this concert possible but also paved the way for music and culture to reach new audiences, enriching the global art scene with unique sounds and talents.”
The Mexican outlet Plaza de Armas, in its article “El Gran Cantante Dimash” (“The Great Singer Dimash”), drew special attention to the artist’s warm and thoughtful reaction to symbolic gifts from his fans:
“The great singer Dimash performed at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. He kissed the Lele doll — a creation from Querétaro that has become a symbol of Mexican identity.”
Editor’s note: The word Lele means “child” in the Otomi dialect. These traditional handmade dolls from indigenous communities in Querétaro are crafted by local artisans, typically from colorful fabrics. No two dolls are the same — each one is unique in its colors, clothing, and hair.
On Canal13 Mexico, the author of the article “Dimash Qudaibergen Brilliantly Concludes His Tour of Mexico” shared impressions from the concerts and expressed great hope for all Dimash fans to see him again soon in Latin America:
“During his concerts, Dimash often expressed his love for all his listeners, telling them how much he loved them. He learned some Spanish to communicate with the audience, asked how they were doing, and said that the night was unforgettable for him. He changed outfits several times, including into a traditional shirt from the Oaxaca region — a gift from his Mexican fan club — and waved the Mexican flag multiple times.
His voice touched the hearts of everyone present as he performed his most famous songs, such as ‘Ave Maria’, ‘SOS d’un terrien en détresse’, ‘Unforgettable Day’, ‘Stranger’, and ‘When I’ve Got You’.
He surprised the audience with ‘Bésame Mucho’, a song full of love for the country, and his heartfelt rendition moved everyone deeply.
Dimash sang passionately, danced, laughed, and fully immersed himself in the energy of the crowd. He knelt down to thank everyone for their support, showing deep respect for the host country.
At the end, he introduced all his musicians, dancers, and part of his crew — and then threw his black-and-gold jacket into the crowd, where one lucky fan caught it.
Due to the overwhelming response, it is expected that he will soon return to Mexico.”
