Bishkek, July 14, 2025. /Kabar/. The XXXIV International Festival of Arts Slavianski Bazaar ended today in Vitebsk, Belarus. According to the official website of the music forum, this year it brought together participants from dozens of countries, including Kyrgyzstan.
As part of the festival, Kyrgyz artists took part in international pop song performers competitions. 16-year-old Myrza Sarpashov performed in the children's competition. In the competition among adult performers, the honor of the country was defended by 28-year-old Ryskeldi Starbekov. Both participants are from Bishkek and have experience performing at large music venues, but the Slavianski Bazaar became an important step in their creative careers.
Following the results of the children's competition, the Grand Prix was awarded to the representative of Kazakhstan Aiganym Amantai. Despite the fact that Myrza Sarpashov was not among the winners, participation in such a large-scale event itself was a significant event for him.
Ryskeldi Starbekov demonstrated a high level of skill from the first day of the competition among adult performers. And based on the results of all rounds, he shared third place with the singer from Russia Erik Akhmetov. The Grand Prix among adult performers was received by the representative of Kazakhstan Almagul Battalieva.
