OCA: You have often mentioned and admired the achievements of the genius boy from the Othisium School. Could you please tell more about him?

NM: The boy of the genius of the 2th Dimash Kudaibergen School is called Kalauov Mukhanbetali Molbaevich. He is from Aktobe, a city on a white hill in western Kazakhstan. His interest in art manifested itself from childhood. When his mother brought him the Kazakh national instrument, the Dombra as a child, since then Mukhanbetali developed an interest in the Dombra, and from the second grade the boy genius went to the Dombra classes.  At school he sang, read poetry, danced , and during the years of transition from the sixth to the seventh grade, the voice of Mukhanbetali became similar to the voice of the world famous genius – Dimash Kudaibergenov. In the same year, he became famous opera singer. On many Instagram channels where his videos were broadcast, he was delighted with the recognition of the people and graduated from the Dombra class in the same year. Until this year he was engaged in singing. Participated in competitions and won prizes. Our little genius is from a poor family, he has no father, for this reason, as the 9th guardian of the Eurasian Creative Guild, he considered it important to hold the young genius. So, Mukhanbetali became a member of the Eurasian Guild. Mukhanbetali, became a member of this guild at the age of 15. I believe that this one of the great achievements for a genius from Aktobe ‘-Kazakhstan-and I wish Mukhanbetali great victories, as he said “The great Lev Tolstoy – Talents must be helped, but mediocrity will break through”
