Renowned singer Enrique Iglesias shared a video on Instagram showing Kazakhs dancing the Lezginka near the Astana Arena stadium to his hit with Ciara, "Takin' Back My Love." He captioned the clip simply: "Kazakhstan," reports infohub.kz.
The post sparked lively discussions among the artist's Kazakh fans. In the comments, they noted: "It's like a dream with a temperature of 40 degrees," "Kazakhstan is a friendly multinational country! We welcome all world stars," and "More than 130 nationalities live in Kazakhstan, all in peace and harmony."
The details of the shoot were revealed by Kazakh Salim Aylazov, whose students danced near the stadium. He said it was his ensemble and that Iglesias's cameraman approached them the day before and promised to send the video to the singer. "We didn't believe it, but now we do," the instructor admitted.
In the comments under the post, Salim Aylazov also addressed Enrique Iglesias with words of gratitude: "Dear Enrique Iglesias, thank you so much for the incredible concert! You brought us back to childhood and gave us so many wonderful memories. Kazakhstan is a multinational country where 140 ethnic groups live together, and each of us was sincerely glad to see you here again. It was a great pleasure and honor for us to perform for you. Thank you for this unforgettable evening!"
It is worth noting that today Iglesias will perform a concert in Almaty. Earlier it was reported that about 2,000 police officers would be deployed at the Central Stadium and the surrounding area. The singer has already been spotted in Almaty, where he took photos with fans.
