The big tour of the masters of art from the Kyzylorda region in Europe concluded with a concert in Madrid, the capital of Spain. The birthplace of the great Cervantes and the home of passionate flamenco warmly welcomed guests from the distant Kazakh steppe. This is not surprising, as our cultures share many similarities. Spain is not only known for its hot sun, warm sea, and sandy beaches, but also for its famous festivals that attract folk music lovers from around the world. The musical traditions of the Spanish people, rooted in the Middle Ages, stem from the work of minstrels, court singers, and wandering musicians who sang about love, military campaigns, and heroic battles. Similar themes are found in the works of Kazakh akyns and zhyrau. It is no coincidence that the musical folklore of our people, represented by zhyrs and termes—lyrical and heartfelt, and sometimes lively and bold—resonated so well with the Spanish audience. The tour of our masters of art in European capitals was organized with the support of Nurlybek Nalibayev, the Akim of the Kyzylorda region. The concert program "NAURYZ - CELEBRATION OF SPRING" aimed to promote the spring holiday Nauryz and showcase the unique cultural heritage of the Kazakh people. Kyzylorda artists were welcomed by Danat Musayev, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Kazakhstan to Spain, and Carlos Delgado, the Deputy Head of the Municipality of Leganes. The audience warmly received the performances of Kyzylorda musicians, which included members of diplomatic missions, Kazakh students studying in Spain, representatives of the Kazakh diaspora, and local residents.The program of the festive concert showcased all genres of Kazakh national art, including traditional singing, folk songs, kyui, and aitys. The vibrant Kazakh national costumes, elaborate headdresses adorned with feathers and fur, and the beautiful sounds of the dombra and kobyz transformed the concert into a true festival of folk music, sparking the audience's interest in Kazakhstan's national art and culture. The attendees also showed great enthusiasm for the national game togyzkumalak, which is popular in Kazakhstan. This ancient nomadic game, passed down through the centuries, develops creativity and logical thinking, earning it the nickname "nomad algebra" and a place on UNESCO's list of intangible heritage. The festival organizers also invited guests to sample traditional dishes such as kazy, karta, kurt, irimshik, and baursaks. The Kyzylorda Region Culture Days took place from March 24 to 27, with artists from the Kyzylorda Regional Philharmonic Society performing a festive concert program in Finland, Estonia, and Spain.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/966678?lang=kk

The focus was on increasing new energy sources, enhancing the capacity of electrical networks in the southern regions, and improving energy efficiency. The akim of the region, Nurlybek Nalibayev, participated in the meeting via videoconference. A 240 MW thermal power plant is currently under construction in Kyzylorda, supported by the Head of State. The project costs KZT 215 billion, and the investor, the Turkish company Aksa Energy, has already invested over KZT 137 billion. The work is 70% complete. The new thermal power plant is expected to fully meet the region's electricity needs, with any surplus supplied to neighboring areas. The connection of the gas pipeline to the facility has been completed, with KZT 15 billion allocated from the regional budget for this purpose. Following the President's visit to Qatar, an agreement was signed for the construction of a combined-cycle plant with a capacity of 1,100 MW, valued at KZT 800 billion. A land plot of 280 hectares in the Syrdarya region has been designated for this project, which is scheduled for completion in 2028. A feasibility study is currently being developed. The project will also include the construction of high-voltage power lines "Kyzylorda-Zhezkazgan" and "Kyzylorda-Shymkent," each with a capacity of 500 kilovolts. Overall, the total length of power lines in the region exceeds 10,000 kilometers, with more than 2,000 substations. The wear level of these substations is 62%. Last year, 741 kilometers of power lines and 127 substations were repaired. This year, KZT 15 billion has been allocated for the modernization of 130 substations and 314 kilometers of overhead power lines.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/965493?lang=kk
