“We know that Kudaibergen performs songs in the French language. The French Embassy is working with him. Dimash is the pride of Kazakhstan, he is known and loved in France. Kudaibergen fan club members dream to meet with him. As planned, Kudaibergen will take part in the celebration of the holiday, and, perhaps, he will perform the songs in French,” he said.
The Kazakh singer is currently on tour in China and has signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Chinese agency BG Talent to participate in the world tour, inform.kz reports.
