About Pascal
Pascal, an Italian musician residing in Kazakhstan, feels a deep connection with the Kazakh people despite his upbringing in southern Italy. He shares insights into the pros and cons ofKazakhstan, as well as his personal experiences, through the popular reality show "Pascalistan" among Italians.
Life in Kazakhstan
Now 36 years old, Son Pascal lives in Almaty after relocating from Astana. An avid mountaineer, he enjoys outdoor adventures and visits the picturesque Shymbulak resort. Paragliding is another passion that allows him to explore Kazakhstan extensively.
Exploring Saryagash
When traveling through Kazakhstan, a stop in the city of Saryagash is a must. Its rich history appeals to those interested in Kazakh culture, while its unique sanatoriums and spa hotels offer rejuvenating experiences. With stunning landscapes, historical landmarks, therapeutic mineral waters, and a vast resort zone, Saryagash is a popular destination for visitors seeking relaxation and well-being. Local sanatoriums are particularly popular among retirees seeking to improve their health.
Harmony among Cultures
Pascal echoes the idea that Kazakhstan fosters harmony and acceptance among different ethnicities. He finds parallels between the Italian and Kazakh mentalities, particularly in their shared emphasis on family values. Prior to moving to Kazakhstan, he spent two years in England, but found the people there to be less welcoming.
Musical Journey of Son Pascal
Pascal's musical journey began in his early years. His collaboration with Universal Music resulted in the release of his debut album, "Wasted Time." Upon moving to Kazakhstan, his humorous cover of Sting's "Englishman in New-York" gained widespread recognition. Aspiring to go beyond comedic success, Pascal ventured into the realm of Abay Kunanbayev's lyrics ("You Are the Pupil of My Eyes"), a gamble that paid off.
Artistic Evolution
Today, Son continues to captivate listeners with the evocative sounds of Kazakh instruments. He records songs in Kazakh and five other languages, showcasing his diverse musical talents.
