I was privileged to meet the flute player at the NY concert pre party and asked him to show me how he was playing his flute (I am a flute player); it was very strange, only half the mouth rests on the flute, leaving an opening for the air to come back up, and the blowing is almost like a “chewing”, maybe giving the whispered sound. He didn’t speak a word of English but took his time explaining to me how he did it all. Everyone who surrounds Dimash is amazingly nice!
@Patricia Palmer Oh I´m glad you could experience the Kazakh society which is both, very traditional and modern. I was there several times in the mid/late 80th and in Mongolia too. It was the first time that I really got into the culture/music of both countries/peoples and it was like a "awakening" for me as European who did know the history of both. Since then I heard a lot of music from this particular region. I´m also obsessed with throat-singing (Mongolian, Altai-Kai, eca.). Dimash is doing a great job showing the world what his country and people can offer us.
@@TheVoiceLoveCo ruclips.net/video/C2pRaDsliSg/видео.html Hi.. look it's a song performed by an ethnic group .. on national instruments.. Health and happiness to You..
Dear Marie-Josee, thank you very much for sharing your emotions with us! By the way: both musicians were at the time of the NY concert students of the same university, where also Dimash made his masters degree in composition. Their names are: Olzhas Qurmanbek (he plays here qobyz) and Sanjaj Almishev (he plays here sybyzgy and rainstick). Olzhas Qurmanbek is also to seeing in the new video of Dimash Qairan Elim...All three young people here are multiinstrmentalists.
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl Hi Andreas, Altai Kai is not monglian, they are turkic, they are singing on Altai language. Also check Argymak attar on RUclips.
Love the preliminary drama in which he gives us time to (re-)enter his world & drop our tension/troubles and just be with him. To him that would mean we are in this beauty together all around the world...his true dream.🙏🏻
This Song is about World War 1, the russian Tsar ordered young Kazakh Men to fight in this War, and this Song is about the Thoughts and Emotions of a young Soldier who had to leave his home. He sings about the Beauty of his Homeland (Samaltau means Mountain Samal) and his deep sorrow if he will ever return, what will happen to him in this War and to his elderly Parents. Will they survive without him? .. etc.
All nations and peoples tormented by Russians sing similar songs about occupation, injustice, repression and violence as well as fighting for justice, independence and courage of their people, and, all of them telling one simple idea and feeling - about their love to native land and nation values. That what russians will NEVER understand.
Listen, you are beautiful, you have a glorious smile and you know what you are talking about. I love the way you analyze a song. Do more Dimash please! Greetings from a Greek Dear ❤️ 🇬🇷

Kobyz is the grandfather of all bowed musical instruments. Such as violin, cello, double bass. In general, the musical culture of the Kazakhs is very ancient and brought almost to perfection. Thank you for your reaction. You are perfection.
With tears, I listen and look up. I live in the Pacific N.W. where fires are raging. In this song, it sounds like animals crying on the mountain as our mountains are burning. This song with all the elements such as the instraments and the vocals seem to be crying and in pain. But it is also an element of hope sung from Dimash's soul to relay a message. Its like he has summoned our God, a cry for help. Please pray for us all, whole towns have burned to the ground and so many deaths of People and countless animals as we burn.
Thanks for your reaction and stops at the right places,you not disturb the song. And again this is another great song of Dimash, he moved me all the time in every song he sings !!! Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
This. Is. Exquisite. Wow. I love everything about this. The musicians. The instruments. The tone. The haunting melodies. His VOICE! (How IS he singing with this much power from this cross-legged seated position, anyway?! Whoa!). This is a singing-from-the-mountain-tops kind of song, making use of the echo chamber of the world. And ... lovely reaction, Christi! I especially liked your noting the change from minor to major and it's possible meaning and 'mood' change. It was not something I'd have been able to articulate this way, and this was very enriching.
This is about a young man who was pulled from his home & family & aged parents to go to war. He is weary and walking slowly and wondering what will become of him as a soldier and will he ever see his home & family again. This was when Kazakhstan was trying to gain it's independence. Dimash does the most gorgeous singing in this! Thank you & good to see you do Dimash again!
Great reaction to Dimash singing Samaltau (Mountain of Spring Winds). Great performance by Dimash. Loved the traditional instruments as well (kobyz en sybyzgy). The man playing the 2-snared instrument (Kobyz/Qobyz) is also playing in the newest clip by Dimash. Greetings from Amsterdam.
I like the feeling of Dimash alone. The musicians seem to fade as he sings. It's as if it is just Dimash and the listener. This performance made me feel close to Dimash.
BRAZIL - Christy, I love to hear Dimash sing in any language, but when he sings in Kazakh, even more folk music is just magnificent, these traditional instruments (Qobyz and Sybyzgy) make the music more beautiful, plus Dimash's magnificent voice. This live was just on Dimash's birthday (24.05) but we won the gift. Beautiful reaction. Hugs.
Dimash was invited to perform at this years Tokyo Jazz Festival but due to the pandemic it was first cancelled (and he was very disappointed) then it was done as an online concert. So he took part by performing 2 songs, Samaltau and S.O.S which he live streamed from his home in Astana Kazakhstan, this is his music room/studio in his house. The instruments are a Kobyz, the stringed instrument a bit like a viola, it has two strings of horse hair and has a 5,000 year history, its played here emulating the sounds of the Kazakh steppe, the wolves and other wild animals. The flute is called a Sybyzgy and is emulating the Kazach Golden Eagle and other birds, the Kazakh rainstick (bamboo filled with gravel or rice) is emulating the wind in the grass of the steppe, plus the water running off from the Samal mountain. The instruments on the wall are Dimash's collection of various Dombra, plus a shaman drum and a jetigen, a Kazakh zither. I absolutely love this song, I first heard it at the Silk Road Film Festival last year and it stunned me. Here he is performing this powerful song sitting cross legged on a piano stool, he always makes it look so easy when in reality this is a difficult song to sing this well. Bravo Dimash 🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺 Here is the full story of what this terribly sad song is about. Dimash sings from the perspective of a 28 year old soldier who is thinking of his aging parents, his home country and the sacred mountain Samal Tau www.iias.asia/the-newsletter/article/time-ordeal-story-1916-revolt-central-asia Just an added interest piece, Dimash has just begun his PhD in musicology, he is very academically gifted too, he completed his masters in composition this year with honours and a score of 100% 😃
His voice is able to evoke spaces...intimate spaces and wide open vistas. It's like he's whispering in your ear while holding you and carrying you across a vast landscape. He tells us secrets from a mountain top. Check out "Vocalize." He takes a melody and sings an entire song without words.
Beautiful song and beautiful reaction, Dimash always is amazing, I really feel privileged to know him and enjoy his art!!! Besides , he is so handsome!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
At the beginning of the song, the sounds of the Great Steppe of Kazakhstan at night were masterfully imitated on the Kazakh ancient folk instrument KOBYZ. We hear howl wolves, barking dogs, the cries of cranes, the noise of water in the river... /// The song "Samal Tau" is considered folk. Its plot is connected with the events of 1916. That year, many men were mobilized for World War I, which was in Europe. /// The guy walks along the steppe road at night and sings a song about having left his native home and old parents, native mountains "Samal Tau". The guy doesn't know what lies ahead in the war. He doesn't know if he'll return from the war to his home. /// Dimash sings this song in Kazakh. The song premiered on October 20, 2019 in China at the closing of the 6th Silk Road International Film Festival ruclips.net/video/1NkoFc-bQ_s/видео.html
HI we miss you happy to see you again DIMASH sing and the whole planet listen to his BEAUTIFUL VOICE and sometimes cry but thanks Dimash to share his gift with us .KISS from PARIS
Song background: dimash.fandom.com/wiki/Samaltau_(Самалтау) English translation My dearest motherland with its immense lake Shalkar. I wonder what my days will be like when I become a solder Thoughts of you arise over and over in my mind My precious land where I was born and came of age I’m not riding, but walking slowly Not even walking, but dragging myself I have been struggling for 15 days I am approaching Omsk I’m twice a dozen years old (2 mushel *) And was born in the Year of the Ox / Cow (**1889) Forced by the will of fate to travel to distant land Samal mountain, my precious motherland I have left you behind We are like a lost herd of horses gone astray I have both my father and my mother They are of advanced age What drove me to sing this sing is, The mourning and heartache of the year 1916… Samal mountain, my dearest motherland With its immense lake Shalkar, I wonder what my days will be like when I become a solder
First time hearing this song, I’m in chills the whole time and bawling crying. I usually don’t put any captions to his song, and yet especially with this song I can feel the longing, the desperation the sadness . The way he pronounce the consonants is very crisp and gives a special impact. After discovering Dimash i listen to his songs only even my young kids. It became an educational as we talk about the instruments the languages and the countries and the culture. Me and husband loves different cultures as I’m immigrant myself and multilingual and we’ll traveled and have Kazakh friend. And that’s important for me for my children to learn. I Love that Dimash is introducing this instruments, history and culture because we can learn a thing or two. I never desire to go to concert until Dimash came. I was a little bit disappointed that I just discovered him a month ago and miss his concert in NY. I hope one day he’ll come back to US for a concert because I already told my husband we are going wherever whenever it will be.
This is recorded live at Dimash's own home and during the most important day of his life, his birthday May 24, 2020. Because of the pandemic all artists who participated in Tokyo Jazz Plus Festival were live amd on line for their performance. And i am proud that this piece got the most views.
Thank you so much! This performance, this work of artistic genius, continues to be my favourite ever from Dimash... even now, I'm left speechless! It's just so affecting...😮😭😍
Эй,эй? Где все русскоговорящие? Очень милая дама, спасибо Вам за реакцию. Привет из России! Добра Вам! Присоединяйтесь русские, казахи, украинцы, белорусы, в общем все русскоговорящие. Пусть нас будет много на реакциях на Димаша. Давайте покажем свою огромную благодарность, любовь и уважение к великому мастеру Димашу. Обычно на всех реакциях полно наших, а тут почему то нет. Ведущей канала огромная благодарность за разбор этой замечательной композиции, шикарная песня, инструменты, голос Димаша! 👍👍👍
Вы русские должны стидица слушая эту песню ваш царь немец забирал казахов на рабски труд на вайну 1916 года бутте прокляты и путь вазратица вам всё зло которые вы причинили моему народу
I think most people like this version even better than the live in concert... Dimash is so convincing!! His voice sounds like a battle cry. and I love his rolled R's
This was streamed live from Dimash's personal studio from his home in Astana, Kazakhstan. Pandemic affects everyone....all invited singers live streamed their performances from wherever they were instead of on stage in Tokyo, Japan as originally intended.
Dear, (I think by now you are a Dear). "SamalTau" is inspired by the time in 1916 when Russia conscripted hundreds of thousands of the men of Dimash's beloved Kazakhstan, to fight in their invasive, aggressive wars. Most never saw home again. One of the soldiers, half-resting during a lull in their crawling/dragging along toward the place where they would fight, managed to write a brief, sketchy letter about his situation. Since he was from the mountainous SamalTau region, the song based on that letter bears the same name. When Dimash sings of this, it is to express his grief and to mourn the loss of his long-ago brothers, who had been forced to leave their families, many of whom died of starvation as a result of losing perhaps the only healthy man in the family. Dimash feels this loss intensely, as you can see, here, where he has created a "new" voice for the purpose of singing about this tragedy. By singing this song, he reminds his people never to forget those ancestors who were forced to leave their people. You can experience (in his voice) Dimash's wrenching pain at knowing how they suffered, both those who went for soldiers, and those who waited hopelessly for them to come back home.
BS. Completely. Kazakhs have NEVER fought for Russia. In the Russian Empire, 42 ethnic groups were completely free from military service. Including the Kazakhs. In 1916, under the conditions of a bloody war (Russia was losing 200-220 thousand people at the front every month), it was decided to attract several hundred thousand people to work in the rear. Many even worked away from the front lines, at railway stations or seaports. Moreover, they were paid money for it, in addition to food, housing and clothing at the state expense. This applied not only to the Kazakhs, but also to other indigenous peoples of Central Asia (Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, Sarts, Turkmens, Tajiks, Dungans, Uighurs), Siberia and Transcaucasia. ALL these people returned home in the middle of 1917.
The open bodied 2 string instrument is a Kobyz. I think its origins are in Turkey, but it is traditional to Kazakhstan and other central Asian countries as well. I don't know much about the instruments being played, but their sound fascinates me. And, I loved Dimash's performance....even better in this stripped down version, than the on-stage performance. Although both are excellent, something about this one, raised its impact. Perhaps removal of all the staging and lighting also removed sensory inputs, leaving only Dimash's voice and the instrumentation underneath......No distracting influences. Mahalo for giving me my Dimash fix this morning.
No Turkey. It is kazakh national instrument. Did you know that the ancient nomads living in the territory of Kazakhstan was the first who tamed horses in the world.
This kazakh song is the best version I like, because of Dimash, He can deliver so beautifully and touch my sole completely, no body is better than him, He is my best singer, 100%, thanks.
Very well said, great reaction. I really recommend you react to Dimash singing'vocalise' performed at the Arnau Concert. It's mind-blowing, you will not regret this reaction. It's my top 3 favorites...
This song is required viewing for his latest MV called Qairan Elim.. I won't say anything about this new work, but the atmosphere is very similar landscape and nature wise..
I was feeling so much serenity from the way he sang, the sound of the instruments and the surrounding. I can see that Dimash is perfectionist, he works on his music like no other and the result is there to see and to enjoy. Thank you for your wonderful reaction and as you suggested, I listened to the original video to experience it fully.
Hello Christi, I love your reactions. You have a beautiful soul. Dimash is amazing, as always. You should listen to his latest song Qairan Elim . I think you will love it. It's a prayer for his country and the world. Very intense and emotional. Also Across Endless Dimensions. It's out of this world. Pun intended;)
Hi Christi! Wonderful reaction 💖. I wanted to know what Dimash was singing. So, I tried to translate those lyrics from de Kazakh. But there's some words that I can't understand. Excuse me for that... The song is a lament, a young had leaving his land, and he missed it a lot, remembering his parents and his land. I want to leave a comment, what a great artist Dimash is! He feels the song, he is in... I loved this song 😍 Thank you very much again dear. A great huge from 🇪🇸 Samal tau, wondrous my land, immense my lake, What my life is going to be as soldat? Comes to my mind over and over again My poor land, where my navel-cord cut, washed me. I am not riding, I’m trudging, Even slower, just drag myself. It’s been about fifteen days On way. I’m approaching Omsk. My age is double mushel, from year of Cow. The Fate has swept me away, far from my home, Samal tau, my motherland is left behind, We’re just a foal-herd that has lost its pastures. I have father and mother, They both would reached elderly age. I was compelled to make this song By the grievous year of sixteen. Samal tau, wondrous my land, immense my lake, What my life is going to be as soldat? I hope you like it 😉
Christy your beauty is most gorgeous than the Dimas voice,you are divine unreal women,with a most beautiful eyes and I love you very much,I admire you and adore you,big hug and lot off love,wish you all the best to you and your famili🤗🤗🤗💞💞💞♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for this reaction. It was captivating to listen to your comments and responses at every step. I trust our Dears (fans) will reply to your various queries. Samaltau as a performance in this live stream way, in my experience, is surreal, engrossing and mesmerising. I sense, you felt the same way. Dimash fills me with awe when he is in this patriotic mode.
Many people don't believe that this man it's not human...no human that nobody knows can't get closer to this young man....he it's a healing man...if you listen to he's music ,the perfection , every day you are going to feel better everyday...He it's already healing my bladder cancer and let me tell you,I feel much better and stronger....my surgeon it's not going to take out my bladder... when I here to the music of this man if I can call him a real man,my soul get so quite that even my body can't move...this man it's healing me with hes music.God put him in my way because I pray him for a cure, a real cure not quimio killing therapy and here it's this Angel from heaven helping me with my illness...I am a believer....God bless all believers.
Dimash has never given a strike from his channel. You don't have to worry and stop for that reason. We appreciate feedback because that is after all why we watvh you. To watch the uninterrupted video we should go to his channel.
Hi Christy, I am sure that I and and the rest of DQ’s Dears, do enjoy your genuine reaction and appreciation of Kazakh traditional and folk music. Please do review Qairam Elim, which is his latest song and also his first directorial debut as director. It is similar to Samaltau in terms of traditional folkloric emotional song. We all Dears would love to see you react to it. 👍🏽💯👌🏾💘👈🙏🙏🙏🙏
This song is epic, Dimash is epic! There are some songs you are tired of after listening for a month or two, but not Dimash, I can listen his songs over and over and over again, never tired. He is THE bestest! He is so grand, yet so humble, woow! Bravo to his parents Svetlana and Kanat, they give an amazing education to their son, they taught him how to love his homeland, his people, traditions, music, customs and how to be advance, yet be himself and do not forget his roots. I bet the name Dimash is going to be so popular in the world and everyone will name their sons and grandsons after Dimash Q.
I agree, Dimash is a huge gift to the world. His sound vibrations are traveling through our hearts and minds, and rearranging the cells of our bodies!!
This song is the first of a series of Kazakh-themed songs by Dimash. His second one (and latest music video) is Qairan Elim, which Dimash also co-directed. You will see that he is not only a vocal but also a visual aesthete, and he uses the imagery to convey his message even stronger than he usually does with his vocals. I would like to highly recommend Qairan Elim as your next Dimash reaction video.
The song is like a cry of loneliness in a wide wilderness. And it is exactly that when you learn the background - young man ripped from their land and families, natural horse men forced to walk for days to fight and die in WWI leaving their homeland and loved ones behind helpless.
Дорогой наш друг, как здорово смотреть и слушать выступления нашего несравненного Димаша с такими прекрасными, интеллигентными, творческими людьми. У Вас такое одухотворенное лицо во время прослушивания, Вы - красавица, с уважением, из Казахстана, спасибо за профессиональную, доброжелательную реакцию.
Christi, I am captivated by your respect for the performer, music and audience. In each video, you remind us to remember to listen to the original song and pause where the impact is minimal. It's so cool! Thank you for your reactions!
.... simply love that song and performance! ❤️❤️❤️ The sounds from those instruments are so beautiful. Love that native and nature imprint on the melody. It creates a deep longing for something undefined in me. There are so much story telling, history and emotions built into both the lyrics and Dimash's insane beautiful voice.... you really sense his Kazakh heart and soul! Thank again for your awsome authentic reactions! 🙂👍❤️
Hi, I just discovered your reactor. I watched with great interest (also the emotions accompanying you while listening to Dimash). It's a great workmanship and your insights. I subscribed and I will be visiting - especially when you talk about Dimash's songs. best regards
At the risk of getting off topic, looking at the comments below, one immediately realizes that Dimash fans are kind & thoughtful people. Dimash puts it aptly by referring to them as ''Dears''. Dears are a reflection of Dimash himself. Good health to all!

He just painted a whole powerful picture of one man who is in the tribal clothing , standing between the valley of waterfalls and calls for nature and homeland! Human experiences with Dimash’s voice and colors he uses!
What a power does this special person have when singing that it moves us to the bones even without understanding a word. It is truly a religious experience to hear Dimash sing this song.
Dimash has now produced his very own first music video; it is a prayer for his country and the world in the midst of a hurting world. It is mind blowing with beautiful music, scenery and special effects. No crazy vocals but super emotional. Make sure to go on DimashNews.com first to read about the song so you can understand it. Definitely more of the same type of folk music. Please listen to “Qairan Elim”, you will blown away.

@@sundetzhumanov9745 BRAZIL - I saw the video about Dimash's long notes and I really liked it. Great job with the time counters.
I'm with you. I felt so deprived as an American. We are not exposed to world music. Which is so sad. Dimash is a breath of fresh air in my book.
This is about a young man who was pulled from his home & family & aged parents to go to war. He is weary and walking slowly and wondering what will become of him as a soldier and will he ever see his home & family again. This was when Kazakhstan was trying to gain it's independence.

The flute is called a Sybyzgy and is emulating the Kazach Golden Eagle and other birds, the Kazakh rainstick (bamboo filled with gravel or rice) is emulating the wind in the grass of the steppe, plus the water running off from the Samal mountain. The instruments on the wall are Dimash's collection of various Dombra, plus a shaman drum and a jetigen, a Kazakh zither. I absolutely love this song, I first heard it at the Silk Road Film Festival last year and it stunned me. Here he is performing this powerful song sitting cross legged on a piano stool, he always makes it look so easy when in reality this is a difficult song to sing this well. Bravo Dimash 🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺
Here is the full story of what this terribly sad song is about. Dimash sings from the perspective of a 28 year old soldier who is thinking of his aging parents, his home country and the sacred mountain Samal Tau www.iias.asia/the-newsletter/article/time-ordeal-story-1916-revolt-central-asia
Just an added interest piece, Dimash has just begun his PhD in musicology, he is very academically gifted too, he completed his masters in composition this year with honours and a score of 100% 😃
Thank your for sharing your valuable knowledge.

Master Vokal in the World! Phenomenal! Artist! Still specifico! Brilliant! Bravisimo, Dimash! ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
САЛЕМЕТСЫЗБЕ ХАНУМ РАХМЕТ СЫЗГЕ РЕАКЦИЯНЫЗГА ДИМАШЖАН ЖАРАЙСЫН АЛГА КАЗАХСТАН АЛМАТЫ....
His voice is able to evoke spaces...intimate spaces and wide open vistas. It's like he's whispering in your ear while holding you and carrying you across a vast landscape. He tells us secrets from a mountain top.
Check out "Vocalize." He takes a melody and sings an entire song without words.
Beautiful song and beautiful reaction, Dimash always is amazing, I really feel privileged to know him and enjoy his art!!! Besides , he is so handsome!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
At the beginning of the song, the sounds of the Great Steppe of Kazakhstan at night were masterfully imitated on the Kazakh ancient folk instrument KOBYZ. We hear howl wolves, barking dogs, the cries of cranes, the noise of water in the river... /// The song "Samal Tau" is considered folk. Its plot is connected with the events of 1916. That year, many men were mobilized for World War I, which was in Europe. /// The guy walks along the steppe road at night and sings a song about having left his native home and old parents, native mountains "Samal Tau". The guy doesn't know what lies ahead in the war. He doesn't know if he'll return from the war to his home. /// Dimash sings this song in Kazakh. The song premiered on October 20, 2019 in China at the closing of the 6th Silk Road International Film Festival ruclips.net/video/1NkoFc-bQ_s/видео.html
HI we miss you happy to see you again DIMASH sing and the whole planet listen to his BEAUTIFUL VOICE and sometimes cry but thanks Dimash to share his gift with us .KISS from PARIS
Song background:
dimash.fandom.com/wiki/Samaltau_(Самалтау)
English translation
My dearest motherland with its immense lake Shalkar.
I wonder what my days will be like when I become a solder
Thoughts of you arise over and over in my mind
My precious land where I was born and came of age
I’m not riding, but walking slowly
Not even walking, but dragging myself
I have been struggling for 15 days
I am approaching Omsk
I’m twice a dozen years old (2 mushel *)
And was born in the Year of the Ox / Cow (**1889)
Forced by the will of fate to travel to distant land
Samal mountain, my precious motherland
I have left you behind
We are like a lost herd of horses gone astray
I have both my father and my mother
They are of advanced age
What drove me to sing this sing is,
The mourning and heartache of the year 1916…
Samal mountain, my dearest motherland
With its immense lake Shalkar,
I wonder what my days will be like when I become a solder
Another beautiful performance by our beloved Dimash. Thanks for your wonderful analysis of this amazing song.🎼🎶🎤❤️🇺🇸🙋🏻♀️
First time hearing this song, I’m in chills the whole time and bawling crying. I usually don’t put any captions to his song, and yet especially with this song I can feel the longing, the desperation the sadness . The way he pronounce the consonants is very crisp and gives a special impact. After discovering Dimash i listen to his songs only even my young kids. It became an educational as we talk about the instruments the languages and the countries and the culture. Me and husband loves different cultures as I’m immigrant myself and multilingual and we’ll traveled and have Kazakh friend. And that’s important for me for my children to learn. I
Love that Dimash is introducing this instruments, history and culture because we can learn a thing or two. I never desire to go to concert until Dimash came. I was a little bit disappointed that I just discovered him a month ago and miss his concert in NY. I hope one day he’ll come back to US for a concert because I already told my husband we are going wherever whenever it will be.
This is recorded live at Dimash's own home and during the most important day of his life, his birthday May 24, 2020. Because of the pandemic all artists who participated in Tokyo Jazz Plus Festival were live amd on line for their performance. And i am proud that this piece got the most views.
Thank you so much! This performance, this work of artistic genius, continues to be my favourite ever from Dimash... even now, I'm left speechless! It's just so affecting...😮😭😍
thanks for the great response !!! you are the most charming, I love you😘

Эй,эй? Где все русскоговорящие? Очень милая дама, спасибо Вам за реакцию. Привет из России! Добра Вам! Присоединяйтесь русские, казахи, украинцы, белорусы, в общем все русскоговорящие. Пусть нас будет много на реакциях на Димаша. Давайте покажем свою огромную благодарность, любовь и уважение к великому мастеру Димашу. Обычно на всех реакциях полно наших, а тут почему то нет. Ведущей канала огромная благодарность за разбор этой замечательной композиции, шикарная песня, инструменты, голос Димаша! 👍👍👍
Я тоже удивлена что мало на русском комментарий, нужно активизироваться!!!!))))
Вы русские должны стидица слушая эту песню ваш царь немец забирал казахов на рабски труд на вайну 1916 года бутте прокляты и путь вазратица вам всё зло которые вы причинили моему народу
I think most people like this version even better than the live in concert... Dimash is so convincing!! His voice sounds like a battle cry. and I love his rolled R's
Yes, yes, and yes!! 🤗
This was streamed live from Dimash's personal studio from his home in Astana, Kazakhstan. Pandemic affects everyone....all invited singers live streamed their performances from wherever they were instead of on stage in Tokyo, Japan as originally intended.
Bravooo Super Dimahs 🌍🚀👏👏👏
Thank you for emotionаl reaction.
It’s just Absolutely Amazing .
Just Beautiful!!
He’s Absolutely Incredible. Thanks
Gorgeous!
Dear, (I think by now you are a Dear). "SamalTau" is inspired by the time in 1916 when Russia conscripted hundreds of thousands of the men of Dimash's beloved Kazakhstan, to fight in their invasive, aggressive wars. Most never saw home again. One of the soldiers, half-resting during a lull in their crawling/dragging along toward the place where they would fight, managed to write a brief, sketchy letter about his situation. Since he was from the mountainous SamalTau region, the song based on that letter bears the same name. When Dimash sings of this, it is to express his grief and to mourn the loss of his long-ago brothers, who had been forced to leave their families, many of whom died of starvation as a result of losing perhaps the only healthy man in the family. Dimash feels this loss intensely, as you can see, here, where he has created a "new" voice for the purpose of singing about this tragedy. By singing this song, he reminds his people never to forget those ancestors who were forced to leave their people. You can experience (in his voice) Dimash's wrenching pain at knowing how they suffered, both those who went for soldiers, and those who waited hopelessly for them to come back home.
BS. Completely. Kazakhs have NEVER fought for Russia. In the Russian Empire, 42 ethnic groups were completely free from military service. Including the Kazakhs. In 1916, under the conditions of a bloody war (Russia was losing 200-220 thousand people at the front every month), it was decided to attract several hundred thousand people to work in the rear. Many even worked away from the front lines, at railway stations or seaports. Moreover, they were paid money for it, in addition to food, housing and clothing at the state expense. This applied not only to the Kazakhs, but also to other indigenous peoples of Central Asia (Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, Sarts, Turkmens, Tajiks, Dungans, Uighurs), Siberia and Transcaucasia. ALL these people returned home in the middle of 1917.
Thank for the reaction. Then continue with' daididau' or ' qairam elim'.👍
OMG such a beautiful lady. Thank you for your reaction!
RAHMET 🙏🙏🙏!!! 💐💐💐♥️♥️♥️🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿!!!
4:02 The only word in Kazakh I understood is "soldat" = "soldier" in English.
Thank you for this wonderful reaction and analysis of another amazing performance by Dimash.
The open bodied 2 string instrument is a Kobyz. I think its origins are in Turkey, but it is traditional to Kazakhstan and other central Asian countries as well. I don't know much about the instruments being played, but their sound fascinates me. And, I loved Dimash's performance....even better in this stripped down version, than the on-stage performance. Although both are excellent, something about this one, raised its impact. Perhaps removal of all the staging and lighting also removed sensory inputs, leaving only Dimash's voice and the instrumentation underneath......No distracting influences. Mahalo for giving me my Dimash fix this morning.
I only know that the strings of the Kobyz are made of horsehair! Interesting, isn't it? cheers from Vienna
No Turkey. It is kazakh national instrument. Did you know that the ancient nomads living in the territory of Kazakhstan was the first who tamed horses in the world.
This kazakh song is the best version I like, because of Dimash, He can deliver so beautifully and touch my sole completely, no body is better than him, He is my best singer, 100%, thanks.
Very well said, great reaction. I really recommend you react to Dimash singing'vocalise' performed at the Arnau Concert. It's mind-blowing, you will not regret this reaction. It's my top 3 favorites...
Thank you, love your reactions. Don't know why this song is so underrated, I find every thing beautiful about it.
This song is required viewing for his latest MV called Qairan Elim.. I won't say anything about this new work, but the atmosphere is very similar landscape and nature wise..
Great comments, your emotions are gorgeus. Love from Germany 🇩🇪
I was feeling so much serenity from the way he sang, the sound of the instruments and the surrounding. I can see that Dimash is perfectionist, he works on his music like no other and the result is there to see and to enjoy. Thank you for your wonderful reaction and as you suggested, I listened to the original video to experience it fully.
Hello Christi, I love your reactions. You have a beautiful soul.
Dimash is amazing, as always. You should listen to his latest song Qairan Elim
. I think you will love it. It's a prayer for his country and the world. Very intense and emotional. Also Across Endless Dimensions. It's out of this world. Pun intended;)
Thank you for your honest reaction and appreciation for Dimash's talent. Please react to My Swan. Thank you! ❤✌🇱🇷
To me if there’s perfection, it’s Dimash. He’s just so talented! Love him.
Hi Christi! Wonderful reaction 💖. I wanted to know what Dimash was singing. So, I tried to translate those lyrics from de Kazakh. But there's some words that I can't understand. Excuse me for that... The song is a lament, a young had leaving his land, and he missed it a lot, remembering his parents and his land.
I want to leave a comment, what a great artist Dimash is! He feels the song, he is in... I loved this song 😍 Thank you very much again dear. A great huge from 🇪🇸
Samal tau, wondrous my land, immense my lake,
What my life is going to be as soldat?
Comes to my mind over and over again
My poor land, where my navel-cord cut, washed me.
I am not riding, I’m trudging,
Even slower, just drag myself.
It’s been about fifteen days
On way. I’m approaching Omsk.
My age is double mushel, from year of Cow.
The Fate has swept me away, far from my home,
Samal tau, my motherland is left behind,
We’re just a foal-herd that has lost its pastures.
I have father and mother,
They both would reached elderly age.
I was compelled to make this song
By the grievous year of sixteen.
Samal tau, wondrous my land, immense my lake,
What my life is going to be as soldat?
I hope you like it 😉
Perhaps soldat means soldier? This has more sense, I think
Yes it is about 28 yo young Kazakh, he was forced to register for the Russian military according to a decree, during the second year of Great War.
@@rodi674 What a sad story! This never must happen again 😢!
Soldat it means a Soldier. This is a Russian word that came to the Kazakh language.
@@JuanRodriguez-ys8vh in my language (Romanian) Soldat means exactly that: Soldier !
ДИМАШИК😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏😇👌👌👌💐💐💐💐
Christy your beauty is most gorgeous than the Dimas voice,you are divine unreal women,with a most beautiful eyes and I love you very much,I admire you and adore you,big hug and lot off love,wish you all the best to you and your famili🤗🤗🤗💞💞💞♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for this reaction. It was captivating to listen to your comments and responses at every step. I trust our Dears (fans) will reply to your various queries. Samaltau as a performance in this live stream way, in my experience, is surreal, engrossing and mesmerising. I sense, you felt the same way. Dimash fills me with awe when he is in this patriotic mode.
Many people don't believe that this man it's not human...no human that nobody knows can't get closer to this young man....he it's a healing man...if you listen to he's music ,the perfection , every day you are going to feel better everyday...He it's already healing my bladder cancer and let me tell you,I feel much better and stronger....my surgeon it's not going to take out my bladder... when I here to the music of this man if I can call him a real man,my soul get so quite that even my body can't move...this man it's healing me with hes music.God put him in my way because I pray him for a cure, a real cure not quimio killing therapy and here it's this Angel from heaven helping me with my illness...I am a believer....God bless all believers.
Dimash has never given a strike from his channel. You don't have to worry and stop for that reason. We appreciate feedback because that is after all why we watvh you. To watch the uninterrupted video we should go to his channel.
Love your reaction so much! It's as soothing as Dimash's singing❣️
Hi Christy, I am sure that I and and the rest of DQ’s Dears, do enjoy your genuine reaction and appreciation of Kazakh traditional and folk music. Please do review Qairam Elim, which is his latest song and also his first directorial debut as director. It is similar to Samaltau in terms of traditional folkloric emotional song. We all Dears would love to see you react to it.
👍🏽💯👌🏾💘👈🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dimash is simply wonderful !! I Love !!💎💎💎🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️🇧🇷
This song is epic, Dimash is epic! There are some songs you are tired of after listening for a month or two, but not Dimash, I can listen his songs over and over and over again, never tired. He is THE bestest! He is so grand, yet so humble, woow! Bravo to his parents Svetlana and Kanat, they give an amazing education to their son, they taught him how to love his homeland, his people, traditions, music, customs and how to be advance, yet be himself and do not forget his roots. I bet the name Dimash is going to be so popular in the world and everyone will name their sons and grandsons after Dimash Q.
I agree, Dimash is a huge gift to the world. His sound vibrations are traveling through our hearts and minds, and rearranging the cells of our bodies!!
I loved your reaction. Just like me whenever I listen to this song. ❤🇧🇷
This song is the first of a series of Kazakh-themed songs by Dimash. His second one (and latest music video) is Qairan Elim, which Dimash also co-directed. You will see that he is not only a vocal but also a visual aesthete, and he uses the imagery to convey his message even stronger than he usually does with his vocals. I would like to highly recommend Qairan Elim as your next Dimash reaction video.
Agree... ... “highly recommend” to watch and react/analyse Qairan Elim, Dimash’s directorial debut.
The song is like a cry of loneliness in a wide wilderness. And it is exactly that when you learn the background - young man ripped from their land and families, natural horse men forced to walk for days to fight and die in WWI leaving their homeland and loved ones behind helpless.
Thanks for great reaction, for your love to Dimash. Hi is very talented young man.
Дорогой наш друг, как здорово смотреть и слушать выступления нашего несравненного Димаша с такими прекрасными, интеллигентными, творческими людьми. У Вас такое одухотворенное лицо во время прослушивания, Вы - красавица, с уважением, из Казахстана, спасибо за профессиональную, доброжелательную реакцию.
Christi, I am captivated by your respect for the performer, music and audience. In each video, you remind us to remember to listen to the original song and pause where the impact is minimal. It's so cool! Thank you for your reactions!
Nice reaction
Gracias por tan interesante comentario, siempre se aprende algo nuevo, de personas que saben. saludos
.... simply love that song and performance! ❤️❤️❤️ The sounds from those instruments are so beautiful. Love that native and nature imprint on the melody. It creates a deep longing for something undefined in me. There are so much story telling, history and emotions built into both the lyrics and Dimash's insane beautiful voice.... you really sense his Kazakh heart and soul! Thank again for your awsome authentic reactions! 🙂👍❤️
Приветствую! Рахмат за эмоции! Желаю удачи!
Just wanted to say hi and you look amazing What blows my mind with this one is how he sings perfectly sitting the way he is mind blowing to me x
Thank you, David. Dimash is truly one of a kind!
Couldn't agree more with you. Having discovered his singing transformed me as a music lover.
Hi, I just discovered your reactor. I watched with great interest (also the emotions accompanying you while listening to Dimash). It's a great workmanship and your insights. I subscribed and I will be visiting - especially when you talk about Dimash's songs. best regards
At the risk of getting off topic, looking at the comments below, one immediately realizes that Dimash fans are kind & thoughtful people. Dimash puts it aptly by referring to them as ''Dears''. Dears are a reflection of Dimash himself. Good health to all!
Cuando Dimash canta estremece mi alma.
Saludos desde Chile ❤️🇨🇱
Cada vez que escucho esta canción me emociona!!!!!
Li Yugang y Dimash son cantantes e intérpretes impresionantes y espectaculares, que voces tan increíbles con registros muy amplios, Dimash y Li Yugang son alienígenas son como de otro planeta woww son maravillosos y geniales...saludos Dear...

I believe you have become an official DEAR.. Greetings once again. Cheers, Doc
Bella reacción esta canción es maravillosa ❤️te recomiendo su nuevo vídeo Qairam Elim donde también es director 🌹🌹🌹🌹
He just painted a whole powerful picture of one man who is in the tribal clothing , standing between the valley of waterfalls and calls for nature and homeland!
Human experiences with Dimash’s voice and colors he uses!
What a power does this special person have when singing that it moves us to the bones even without understanding a word. It is truly a religious experience to hear Dimash sing this song.
Dimash has now produced his very own first music video; it is a prayer for his country and the world in the midst of a hurting world. It is mind blowing with beautiful music, scenery and special effects. No crazy vocals but super emotional. Make sure to go on DimashNews.com first to read about the song so you can understand it. Definitely more of the same type of folk music. Please listen to “Qairan Elim”, you will blown away.
Beautiful track and beautiful reaction and analysis as always.
