The name "Ün" has roots in the Turkic languages and translates as "voice" or "sound". This name is perfect for a musical showcase festival, emphasizing its essence — a platform where musicians showcase their talents and sound, striving for international success.

The festival of participants demonstrates a rich variety of traditional and modern ethnic music. Performances are held at various venues in the city and allow viewers and experts to get acquainted with the musical culture of different countries.

The start of the showcases began at the Kazakh National Opera and Ballet Theater named after Abay, where viewers could enjoy the first performance of the festival. It was the beginning of a rich program including concerts and creative meetings.

A conference dedicated to modern challenges and prospects for the development of the music industry will be held on May 23-24. Particular attention will be paid to World Music and the Central Asia region. Participants will discuss the integration of traditional music with modern trends, as well as opportunities to promote local performers on the international stage.

The importance of Ün Music Week is that it not only demonstrates musical diversity, but also serves as a platform for cultural exchange and professional growth, noted the General Producer of the event, Zhan Kasteev. This festival promotes ethnic music on the world stage and strengthens the position of Central Asia as a significant player in the international music industry, continued creative producer Ruslan Yakupov.

The final chord of the festival will be a gala concert and open-air festival "Jibek Joly. Limitless Sound", which will be held on May 25 in the park near the KNTOB named after Abay. This event emphasizes the growing role of Kazakhstan and Central Asia in the global music industry and promotes the strengthening of cultural ties and global solidarity.

A special feature of the gala concert will be the first in Central Asia "seamless" show, where performers from different countries will present the traditional art of their peoples through a modern instrumental and electronic interpretation of the sounds of the Silk Road.

A showcase festival is a special form of musical event, where groups and performers who want to enter the international market, expand their touring activities and conclude long-term contracts perform. Such festivals are attended by producers, organizers, representatives of labels, promoters and journalists who evaluate performances and can offer cooperation to promising artists.

Thus, the "Ün" festival will become an ideal platform for new and ambitious performers seeking to show their "unique sound" and gain recognition on the world stage.
