In her latest column, Aida Haidar reflects on why Dimash Kudaibergen's presence in the world is more important than ever. While she admits she’s not a fan, she recognizes his God-given talent and unmatched vocal range—something no one can deny.

But Dimash is more than just an artist. His performances aren’t just about hitting impossible notes; they carry deep, powerful messages that feel organic, never forced. His authenticity shines through, making his music resonate far beyond the stage.

Aida writes that although she has never met or interviewed Dimash, she believes that who he is on stage reflects something greater—the resilience of the Kazakh people. A nation that has endured hardships but continues to move forward with strength, generosity, and grace, never allowing adversity to turn into bitterness.
