On November 13, ahead of Dimash Qudaibergen’s concert as part of his DIMENSIONS World Tour, an international fan pre-party was held in Monterrey, Mexico, organized by the Dimash & Dears Regias Monterrey fan club.

The gathering took place at La Fundación Event Hall, located within the famous Fundidora Park. The organizers prepared a vibrant program featuring an introduction to northern Mexican culture, live musical performances, and an opportunity for fans to connect.

One of the evening’s central themes was cultural exchange between Kazakhstan and Mexico. Through his music, Dimash Qudaibergen introduces audiences around the world to Kazakh music, language, and traditions. In return, Mexican Dears wanted to share the history and cultural heritage of their hometown, Monterrey, with their guests from Kazakhstan.

The event began with a screening of a documentary exploring the founding and development of Monterrey, along with its history and traditions. The cultural journey continued with performances by local artists.

Monterrey-based musicians Jenny Vilchis and Anya Jaramillo took the stage to perform for the guests. Attendees also enjoyed a traditional folkloric dance performance, sampled local cuisine, and participated in a prize raffle.

The event was hosted by well-known Mexican radio personality Poncho Yesca, a familiar face among Dimash’s fans. His journey into the Kazakh artist’s music began in 2021, when he recorded a reaction video to one of Dimash’s performances. He went on to create more than 50 reaction videos featuring Dimash’s music. In 2022, with the support of Mexican Dears, the singer’s songs began receiving airplay on radio station OYE 89.7.

A particularly special moment of the evening was the participation of Dimash’s mother, Svetlana Aitbayeva, and the Kazakh musicians accompanying the artist on his world tour.

Dombra duo Temirlan Olzhabay and Ernat Nauryz performed for the guests, showcasing Kazakhstan’s traditional musical heritage.

Sanjay Almishev also joined the musical program, performing the famous instrumental composition “The Lonely Shepherd,” written by German composer James Last and brought to international prominence through the performance of Romanian musician Gheorghe Zamfir.

Toward the end of the gathering, Dimash’s mother, Svetlana Aitbayeva, addressed the fans. She thanked Mexican Dears for their love and support for both Dimash and Kazakhstan, as well as their efforts to promote Kazakh culture and their cooperation with the Embassy of Kazakhstan.

Svetlana Aitbayeva also spoke about the mural recently created in Monterrey in honor of Dimash Qudaibergen. She shared that news of the artwork had brought joy not only to the artist’s family and team but also to many people across Kazakhstan.

“Thousands of kilometers separate our countries, but our hearts are close. Dimash’s music has brought us together and marked the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Kazakhstan and Mexico. We hope this friendship will only grow stronger!” Svetlana Aitbayeva said.

She also conveyed warm greetings from the people of Kazakhstan to Mexican fans, expressing her hope that the cultural ties and friendship between the two countries would continue to flourish.

Svetlana Aitbayeva concluded her speech with the words:

“Long live Kazakhstan! Long live Mexico! Long live our friendship!”
