Musicians Nurbol Aliyev and Aida Zhurmanova toured the U.S. through the Golden Gates programme.
The Golden Gates project was initiated 10 years ago as a cultural and educational programme that allows creative people from different countries to show their culture through art, in particular music and choreography. In this case, a group of dancers and musicians moved from one city to another for 40 days giving concerts at various venues. They visited 45 cities in 22 states in total.
Both Kazakh musicians were born in the countryside of southern Kazakhstan and both are graduates of the capital’s Academy of Music, now the Kazakh National University of Arts.
