On November 13, 2021, Mexico celebrated on a dazzling grand scale the upcoming anniversary of Kazakhstan’s independence. The event was organized by the Mexican Dears of Dimash Qudaibergen with the support of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Mexico.

“The place where the gods were born”

The celebration took place in the most important historical location in the Mexican Republic, the ancient town of Teotiucan. The culture that took shape here over 2,400 years ago has left behind an impressive architectural heritage spanning 23 kilometers. The main buildings of the city are three great monuments: the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Citadel.

At one time, Teotihuacan united thousands of people of various ethnic origins, and contributed to the achievement of cultural exchange in Mesoamerica and throughout the American continent.

Regarded as a sacred city that keeps the history of the great people who lived here in the past, Teotihuacan is known throughout the world as “the place where the gods were born.”

Official permission to host the event at this important historic site for all Mexicans was obtained by fans of Dimash in Mexico, led by the head of the fan club,  Dr. Hilde Wöhler.

30th Anniversary of Independence of Kazakhstan in Mexican Style

The celebration was attended by officials of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Mexico, high-ranking officials of the Otumba government (the region to which Teotihuacan belongs), officials of the Mexico State government, as well as representatives of Dimash’s Latin American fan clubs from Mexico, Argentina, Peru and Cuba.

The event opened with a glittering flash mob organized by the Dimash Mexico fan club and the Mexican Tradition folklore ballet. The participants in the flashmob were dressed in beautiful traditional costumes from each state of Mexico while a video with the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon played in the background.

The leadership of the National Institute of Anthropology and History invited representatives of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Mexico along with their families to the archaeological zone of Teotihuacan. All guests of the event were dressed in traditional Kazakh costumes and carried the flags of both countries.

The event continued at the Villa Teotihuacan Hotel, where all guests were greeted at the entrance by a full-length cardboard figure of Dimash. The celebration began with a “fire ceremony” conducted by the shamanic group “Aztec Dance Teoilhuicatl” to welcome the Kazakh people to Mexico on the sacred land of Teotihuacan. The guests of the event performed a traditional dance asking Heaven for blessings for both nations, as well as for Dimash and his fans around the world.

This was followed by a performance of the folkloric ballet “Mexican Tradition”, breakfast with traditional tamale, a symbol of Mexican cuisine, and a welcoming speech by representatives of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Mexico, Serik Surankulov and Algash Ospanov, who emphasized the importance of cultural exchange between the two countries.

At the end of the event, Dears performed Dimash’s song “Mahabbat ber makan” very beautifully and emotionally, expressing their invitation to the artist to visit their country.

“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Mexico for entrusting the Dimash Mexico fan club to organize an event on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s independence. This is a great honor for us. We will be happy to continue to do our best to strengthen friendly relations between our countries,” said the head of the fan club,  Dr. Hilde Wöhler.
