For aspiring artists, the festival was a bright start to a career and a stepping stone. Today, the event once again brought together star performers and guests from different countries. The performances were dedicated to the legends of Kazakhstani and world music.
“This is our heritage, this is our pride! By "Asia Dauysy" they recognized Kazakhstan. They said: “Wow, Medeo! Voice of Asia! It's cool, it's such a big festival! We know Kazakhstan from this competition. Such was the excitement at the time,” singer, composer, Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Marzhan Arapbayeva said. For the first time, she appeared on the “Asia Dauysy” stage more than 20 years ago, fulfilling her main dream.
Each song, as before, sounded live. The musical accompaniment of the symphony orchestra gave a special flavor to the performances of artists at Medeo.
The headliners of the evening are the Uzbek band “Yalla”. They are called out of competition and time. They were the first to receive the award of the revived festival and so far the only winners. A surprise from the category of retro was the performance of the legendary Swedish band "Secret Service" and a Black Eyed Peas solo concert.
