Changes

In 1998 Dir. Tilgenov saw advert for folk ensembles to join in international festival in [[Italy|Italian]] town of Vico Equense where Kazakh music was much novelty. They joined the festival but only 12 Kazakhs were surrounded by Scottish men with bagpipes and Spanish men with guitars and drums during opening parade. As nobody could hear the Kazakh music they started sing very loud the song "My Kazakhstan" by the famous composer [[Shamshi Kaldayakov]] which later became national anthem of country. Although bagpipes made much noise on first day, on next day our group sang alone. Kairzhan Zholdybayev sang Abay's famous song ''Ayttem Salem'' and followed with Italian song '' O Sole Mio''. This very much pleased the Italians people and Kazakh ensemble received much clapping from audience and jury and won the prize. Since then the ensemble has gone from strength to strength and now has worldwide reputation.
