The Swiss band opened the festival. Saxophonist of Ost West Inspiration spoke excellent Russian when presenting every song. The band’s official website writes that “the critics call live performances of the band a journey through fantastic worlds of sound”. The musicians gave Almaty residents light blues, sometimes they played dynamically getting lots of applause.
