I thoroughly enjoyed your comments on this video. Not all waves of humanity have such a one as Dimash to experience personally within the same time frame here on earth. He inspires personal reconnection with a greater depth our own Souls. He has healing frequencies in his voice. A woman who does Sound Therapy stated that recently a woman hearing Dimash's voice experienced a complete healing of her Cancer. I myself do not doubt this. I have heard of these things before. I know how sound effects our energy fields and why it can move human beings so powerfully as music. Have a wonderful day! 🌞 🎶 🕊❤️🕊 🎶🌞 ✌️🙏✌️
Hola Lucas,está canción fué escrita ,la letra,por un joven que se lo llevaba a cavar😂trincheras en una guerra inútil y pérdida. El Zar recluta jóvenes desde la montaña samaltau en kasajtan,en ella se lamenta por dejar sus padres en envejecidos y no sabe si los volverá a ver o quien los cuidara. Dimash cantando se convierte en ese soldado,esto fué en 1916,a el le agrada que se sepa la historia de su país,lo cual le duele mucho. Gracias por reaccionar y admirar a nuestro niño kasajo
A Dimash no le interesan mucho la cantidad de reproducciones que pueda tener un tema, muestra su amor por su patria por su tierra de una manera que pocos lo hacen .Gracias por tu reacción tan sentida Saludos desde Argentina❤❤
You feel very accurately, because this song is about the sadness of a soldier that he goes to war, leaves home and old parents and will never see them again.
Oh absolutely this is 1 of my absolute favourites along with Adai and Diadudau I love when he sings in Kazakh it's just well like you said a,spiritual journey. Add to that the absolutely beautiful and amazing traditional instruments and yeah it takes you on a journey. That's Dimash. P.S. vote for Dimash to be on MTV this Friday if you don't know how tweet @MTV @Dimash_Official #DimashOnMTV #LiveStreamFriday
It is a traditional Kazakh song, written over a hundred years ago, from the perspective of a young Kazakh man who has been called to war by Russia, and the instruments are supposed to reflect the sounds of nature as he marches away from his home, devastated that he has to leave his elderly parents :(
@@zs3101 Yeah, sorry I just assumed people would know that it was part of the Russian Empire back then, but I'm older, so perhaps younger people don't know.
[English translation] Samal Tau (Wind Mountains) Samal tau, my native land, the immense sea What days await me in soldiers Remember again and again Native land where I was born and raised I'm not riding, I walk Even slower than walking For fifteen days of trekking Approaching towards Omsk I am at the age of two cycles, the year of the cow By the will of fate went to a distant land Samal tau, native lands left behind We are like a herd of horses, torn from our native lands My mother and father They are old men of advanced years ... This song came from misfortunes of sixteenth years Samal tau, my native land, the immense sea What days await me in soldiers... In 1916, the song "Samal Tau" was born. Like the song “Elim-ay”, which the Kazakh people composed during the years of the great disaster “Ataban shybyryndy”, the song “Samal tau” expressed the aspirations and difficult situation of the Kazakhs in the last years of the Russian Empire. In the center of the work is the tragedy of an individual against the backdrop of a general national disaster. The mournful bitter song of the Kazakh soldier, who does not understand why he leaves his native lands, he tells the story of it.
I believe he's singing in Kazakh, the Turkish-based native language of Kazakhstan. (My wife is Kazakh, and I lived there 9 years.) I love this song. It is an experience as much as music. The back story, however, is important in interpreting that experience. This song is based on the writings of a young Kazakh who lived with his parents and family in the mountainous area of Kazakhstan when he was forced into the Tsar's army to fight in WWI. He had never been out of his own little part of Kazakhstan. The sounds of those ancient instruments represented the sounds of nature that he loved so much -- the wind, the howling wolves, etc. He's being forced to go fight in a war he does not understand for a Tsar to which he feels no allegiance. He misses his homeland and family as he marches to war, and he's wondering if he will survive the battles and be able to return to the homeland he loves so much. With that understanding, the song is much more meaningful and experiential for Dimash, as well as his fans. If it were in English, it might make the Top 10. You hear the mountain sounds and the cadence of marching, and you hear the mourning cry of a soldier who just wants to go home.
I don't remember all of the music that you have reacted to, but listening to two of his songs in Chinese might be interesting. You should watch the 3-4 minute backstory to the Gloria Wu version of the songs, which include English subtitles. Very moving pieces. Daybreak (ruclips.net/video/uXGF7vgEYKk/видео.html) about an orphan whose parents pushed him to safety before dying in a cable car accident, and Autumn Strong (ruclips.net/video/FXQ58U-Eddg/видео.html) about a China-born Japanese actress who was beloved by the people as she kept her ethnicity secret but was then deported when it was discovered after WWII. The lyrics are like they refer to lost love, but it refers to her love for the land, the culture and the people of China.
Thank you so much, after your history, hearing this very special gift from Dimash, I became tearful, as anyone would knowing young men going into a war will rave their homes will be altered forever. I needn’t speak the language, when I knew the story,. My brother went to Vietnam at eighteen. Dimash and the musicians fully translated the emotion for me.
Kazakh language is NOT Turkish- it is Turkic, huge difference! If you wife is Kazakh, she should know that actually the modern Turkish nations comes from the steppes of modern Kazakhstan..... centuries back one of the tribes broke out from the Great Steppe and migrated to where Turkey is now.....
Samaltau is a masterpiece ✨❤️✨Thank you for doing this song. The two string instrument is a kobyz ☺️. He is singing in kasakh. These are the lyrics: Mountain breeze Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake, What days await me as a soldier, You keep coming into my mind from time to time, My amazing homeland, where I was born and raised I wasn't riding, I was walking, Even slower than walking, Been strolling for 15 days In the direction of Omsk I'm at the age of two cycles, the year of the cow By the will of Fate, I went farther away Mountain breeze, my amazing country, you're left behind From the hollow field, we are the only ones I had parents, Of progressed age, Since this song was written, It's been 16 years. Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake, What days await me as a soldier
FYI. The lyric "I'm at the age of two cycles, the year of the cow." sets the time setting of the song and that of the young man who is singing. It would make him about 28 years old (a little over 2 mushels = 2 dozens born in the year of the cow = 1889). dimash.fandom.com/wiki/Samaltau_(%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%83)
@@leannsmarie Oh, leannsmarie, This is so nice, such a gift for all of us, Dears, to open and enjoy the entire context of that magnificent song. I listened to it for the first time 5 hours ago and I am still under it spell. It haunts my spirit heaviliy like if the young soldier were my young brother leaving us, forever maybe. It is so real for me, as if it was a nightmare in which I cannot escape. Music is the best therapy there is for psychosomatic disorders, but, it could be a knife with a double edge. If the sound vibrational frequency is the exact opposite of our own frequency, could it be harmful? I know that I cannot sleep listening to a certain piece of music or it can make me nervous or anxious. With others, I sleep like a baby or I spend my day feeling happy, healthy, strong, in a meditate state of mind. It is all a question of corresponding sound vibrational frequency, as shown by the extraoprdinary beautiful mind of Nikola Tesla.
I’ve seen this multiple times and I still get chills at the very same part you mentioned. There is so much pain that can be felt in this song. Dimash doesn’t just sing a song. He lives the song.
Yes he really does I honestly believe at the beginning when his eyes are closed he's meditating listening to the instruments allowing himself to be where the soldier in this song is I could be wrong but I feel that.
Доброй ночи, у нас в Казахстане 🇰🇿 глубокая ночь, а я не засну пока что-нибудь про Димаша не увижу, не услышу))) Благодарю Lukas за реакцию, плохо знаю английский, но понимаю примерно о чем, это песня глубоко трогает нас. И Вы очень тепло и профессионально делаете реакции, на Вашем лице все эмоции, что и слов не надо!
Although his vocal range is amazing, he is clearly very gifted, and he must have put a tremendous amount of time and work into mastering the control of that voice. For me it is his ability to communicate the emotion and feeling of the piece he is performing. He is usually not singing in a language I understand, and yet he communicates the feelings and emotions of the song perfectly. Every song he performs takes the listener on a journey almost like into other worldly dimensions of sound and feeling. A remarkable artist.
Just imagine snow-capped mountains peaks, beautiful blue lakes, the cry of the red deer, the distant howls of the gray wolf and the gazelle bounding away from the brown bear. The dombra is the most popular and the oldest Kazakh musical instrument. It sets the tone for where-ever the song takes place; as on the seashore, the desert plains or in the forest. It sounds hauntingly beautiful in this intimate setting, as DIMASH meditates before he sings. 💫❤💫
Dimash is singing in his mother tongue, Kazakh - and the traditional instruments are a kobyz (like a small cello), a sybyzgy (sideblown flute) and a rainstick. The mandolin/lute-type instrument on the wall is a dombra which Dimash plays beautifully.
@@lukashasselNY Спасибо большое за любимого Димаша! Пожалуйста, послушайте потрясающее исполнение композиции "Autumg strong" в Киеве на канале Димаша - ruclips.net/video/437IEsDIZfE/видео.html - не песня, а настоящее произведение искусства! Пожалуйста,субтитры, мы с друзьями ждем вас!!!
Speaking about position & being more difficult to sing !! I believe this man could stand on his head, juggle, & still sound incredible !! Love his #voice & your reactions !
Lovely Greetings from germany. Thank you very much for your reaction to this song. And many thanks to all Dears for their loving and very helpful comments. I'm infected ... and I bought tickets for his concert next year😍😍😍in Germany. I can't wait to see him live. You all have a nice weekend. Doro
Hello. From Brazil. In my opinion, this video has the best presentation of this song. He's singing in the Kazakh language. It happened at the live of the Tokyo Jazz Festival, an annual global event that takes place in Japan, and this year because of the pandemic it was done only through the internet. It was attended by musicians from several countries and for a happy coinscidence it was just on the day of Dimash's birthday. May 24 when he turned 26. Dimash with a powerful and emotional interpretation, sitting in a Yoga position, combined with the sound of the instruments, a spectacular presentation Samaltau is a traditional song that talks about the First World War in 1916 when a decree from the Russian Empire was issued on the mobilization of the army for rear operations. There was a lot of suffering and pain. So the beginning has the sounds of the instruments simulating the sounds of war. The song is about a kazakh son who mourns to leave his old parents alone, because he is forced to join the russian army for war. Samaltau is the name of the place the man is. Thanks for your reaction
Whenewer when i lysten to him.. I om very touched, it is beautiful. And in the background as well beautiful voice and commentary. I listen to it with great pleasure. Thank tu. Greetings
9:34 este lamento es lo que más me encanta de esta canción, es tan profundo y sentido k me llega hasta el alma, hasta el tuétano, i love it❤ ilove Dimash 😍🇲🇽🇲🇽💞💞🇰🇿🇰🇿
Believe me or not, but, having in view the whole amazing repertoire of Dimash, that is, in my opinion, the most poignant piece of musical vocal art that I have ever heard from him, including Daybreak (which is difficult to surpass in dark emotion) and Autumn Strong. it is almost unbearable, with the living natural and animal sounds in the intro and the desperate crushing feeelings of the young soldier called to arms leaving his country for the inevitable killings of unknown fellow human beings. That Dimash's low sound soulful vibrational frequency will haunt my spirit for how long, Lord, for how long, my Lord?
@@christakosin6924 It is, indeed! And more than wonderful, the Dimash frequency that vibrates deep in our soul provides therapeutic benefits for all kinds of psychosomatic conditions. "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." Nikola Tesla Have a blessed day, Christa!
Hi, thank you for your reactions to Dimash. They are great and I always enjoy watching them. It seems strange to me that a star like Dimash has less than a million subscribers on the RUclips channel. Let's all subscribe together and distribute this to all our friends.
Hello Lukas I am from Brazil and I loved meeting you and your reactions to the presentations of Dimash, this very special and talented young man of whom I am a super fan. Keep giving us your Dimash videos
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
Такими композициями как: Самалтау,Кайран Елим,Дайдидау Димаш открывает миру казахскую культуру и историю народа.Выражает свою любовь и боль за родную землю,и народ.С детства большой мечтой Димаша было познакомить и удивить мир казахской культурой.Поэтому эти песни в его репертуаре имеют знаковые места
Hi Lucas once again thank you for another reaction on dimash song your the best and hopefully you can go on listening to his song i love dimash he is like a son to me thank you so much more power
Thank you for a most authentic reaction... "Samaltau" is a favorite of mine... There is this evocative, simply mesmerizing feel of longing that the performance creates.... A truly palpable reality, that materialize one's vulnerability and sadness.... A soulful tale about home, homeland and the tragically inevitable life abroad in time of war.... ☮️ PS:Btw: One of the most treasured aspect for me is the introspective reaction that the performance induces : remembering one's own roots... Specifically for me, that one Valia Balkanska song that went on the, VOYAGER golden record (a Bulgarian folk..) This one (Samaltau) should be traveling to the stars too.... 💜
Haunting sounds of nature with traditional Kazakh instruments, kobys, flute. Dimash always knows how to tell the story with so much emotion. Thank you for your reactions to Dimash’s greatness. More Dimash please. 🤗💛💕🥰🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💥
"Samal" - cool mountain breeze. "Tau" - mountain. The story was about a young soldier being drafted by the Russian army to fight a war in 1916 (World War I). He had to walk 15 days from his "Samal" village to another town in Omsk to register himself. The initial instrumentation was to paint a picture of the environment in your mind = the breeze/wind blowing, sounds of wolf howling and barking, sounds of leaves or water running. From his singing, you can feel the "longing" of home and feeling of "dread" on his way to register for war.
I feel he is singing in the Holy Spirit! 2 Samuel 7:22 “How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears."
Hey Lukas, I always enjoy your reactions. Let me tell you about song/music The Intro is made to put you (audience) into the scene. The song is about a Kazak soldier who where called by the Russian Millitary to join the army. It‘s during WWI. He has a 15 day trip to his destiny. And while walking he sings this song. The instruments imitates the scenery/nature/animals. The 2-String instrument is called Qobyz. This eg Imitates a Wolf at the beginning. The flute an eagle. And then there is Wind, water etc. at the end of his Melisme, his last note has a delay. That symbolizes the echo in The Valley he is walking through. Sorry for my bad English. I tried my best. 😂
Este sonido ancestral, la voz de Dimash y su interpretación... Sublime! Extraordinaria actuación y versión de esa canción tradicional. Gracias por tu reacción tan sincera y espontánea
He sings in KAZAKH! On wall: Not mandolines, but the National Kazakh instrument: the DOMBRA! To me, this is a highly POLITICAL song ( rather than spiritual, as stated by others). It's the heart-breaking STORY of this young Kazakh man who says he was forcefully enlisted by another country (Russia) to join an army and go fight a War that had nothing to do with his Homeland. He complains of the extreme hardships he and the Kazakhs suffered, having been prohibited from riding their horses (Kazakhs lived on horseback, so it was a humiliation to be deprived of their horses!!) And were forced to WALK for weeks on end to the battlefield in the snow, cold and hungry and miserable. So the young man questions the senselessness of WARS, and cries in despair at being forced to abandon his parents and their fields. He wonders how his elderly parents could cope without his help. It's a very sad song , yet so real! Close to Dimash's heart in many issues: 1) the clear ANTI-WAR stance of Dimash; 2) his strong belief of the need to care for the elderly. At the begining the string instrument (Kazakh) makes the sounds of crying wolves. In Dimash's RUclips Channel is the performance of this song with SUBTITLES - at the One Belt, One Road celebration . ( I detest this project, which has caused massive social and environmental devastation in SE Asia. Dimash was USED by Xi Jinping who named him "Cultural Ambassador " for this disgusting project. I advised him of the awful consequences, sent him info, and asked him to distance himself from this project, and the Human Rights abuses it also entails. Tricky as it was a Kazakh-China deal too. He finally was able to do so.)
The young soldier was supposed to be walking during 15 days. End he knows he is not going to see his home and family again. It took your hearts and souls. At the end he is supposed to be walking to slowly, probably to the end or death. Beautiful. Beautiful Dimash. So emotive. No one like him. Awesome. Unique. Please vote REQUEST DIMASH this Friday on MTV. Thanks a lot. Great reaction¡ From México.
Thank you for sharing . A lovely response to an amazing recommendation! everything was phenomenal. really inspiring. I love it. Dimash is the god of music and his impressive voice vocal and artistic skills are amazing. Greetings from Mongolia.
Мелодичные казахские напевы.. Большинство казахов певчих, и голоса сильные... Димашу помогает окрас акцента национального языка обрамлять песню изяществом.🤗♥️
Samaltau by Dimash is so beautiful, mysterious and haunting, one of my favorit and you do it justice. Thank you. I actually prefer the version from the Chinese Silk Road Festival but that is a matter of opinion.
Lucas, I found a translation of the song. There is a very similar medieval instrument in the Balkans, the fiddle. Thanks for the interesting reaction, Dimash is a miracle, although my soul remained trapped by Angelina Jordan. Greetings from Belgrade Here's translate: Mountain breeze Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake, What days await me as a soldier, You keep coming into my mind from time to time, My amazing homeland, where I was born and raised I wasn't riding, I was walking, Even slower than walking, Been strolling for 15 days In the direction of Omsk I'm at the age of two cycles, the year of the cow By the will of Fate, I went farther away Mountain breeze, my amazing country, you're left behind From the hollow field, we are the only ones I had parents, Of progressed age, Since this song was written, It's been 16 years. Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake, What days await me as a soldier
All the dears have explained the interesting things... you can always trust on this 🥰 SAMALTAU is not my favorite song ( that's still SOS, maybe because it was my first contact with Dimash), but i love the tenderness and expression of this song... if I am not mistaken i have heard "qairan elim" in the lyrics couple of time... he loves his country so much... 💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
It's hard to have a "favourite!" I first heard him sing the WHO pandemic song "We are One" and there was something special in his voice so I had to search the credits to discover him. Since then I have listened to him sing something every day. For some reason this morning (in Australia) I listened to Ulisse 5 or 6 times. Other mornings it's usually Ogni Pietra, but just the once! Upbeat days it's Screaming (Idol Hits). He has a composition/performance for every mood. I think Samaltau is a masterpiece as it captures what Dimash can do without him needing to reach the extremes of voice.
@@klikakate "Kayran" means something very dear to your heart which you regret if lose. For example you may say this way about your childhood if it was happy. "Elim" means both motherland and people at the same time. For Kazakhs sometimes land and people are one thing. Hope you understand me, sorry for English. If you have another question you are welcome
@@Кунанбай-е5ь Thank you for the explanation. It's so interesting to learn about your country, history and culture. I'm so excited to visit Kazakhstan once Dimash will have a concert there. Love from Norway 🇳🇴
Hi Lukas! I'm a film writer and director too, small indie films. It's super cool to have you here on this platform. I thought for a long time, what a great way to discover music for projects, find inspiration and those who wish to collaborate. Great reactions and I hope you also discover others like Hua Chenyu (China). He is stunning as well. Dimash and Hua Hua are my two favs by far and I find inspiration watching and listening to them. Currently working on developing another Native American based feature and tele series, as it's near and dear to my heart after growing up as the white looking kid on a reservation. Peace!
Здравствуйте, Лукас! Спасибо за ваши эмоции! Делайте больше реакций -Димашу еще есть чем удивить вас! А я вместе с вами еще раз окунусь в волшебный океан гармонии и красоты под названием ДИМАШ!
Всегда вызывает чувство благодарности тонкий, глубокий анализ Lukas-ом произведений, исполняемых Димашем, и человеческие качества Lukas-а - высокий порог его эмпатии, доброжелательность, вдумчивость, умение восхититься талантом другого человека, оценить и воспринять иную культуру.
Lukas, it absolutely made my day to see you back with another Dimash reaction. It's so much pleasure watching you watching Dimash. Others will tell you all about the song and the kobyz, so I won't duplicate those comments. In case no one else has commented: this livestream is from Dimash's own studio in his communal home (multi-generational family members all live together) in Kazakhstan. I enjoy imagining what it must be like to live in that home and hear these magical, mystical sounds coming from Dimash's studio at all hours of the day and night. If I were one of the family members, it would be tempting to tell Dimash that he needs to practice the song more...just so I could hear it again and again. This song is a sacred journey.
Hi again from Texas. You and I seem to like the same reactors. You have a gift for expressing yourself which I just love. I think some of the same things, but just don't know how to express it Love your comments.
@@shirleymelvin9282 wow, thank you so much 💖 Usually I just use too many words, but it's so hard not to when writing about Dimash sometimes. Lukas is one of my favorites too. From the west coast 🙋♀️
@@Snarky_Tart I assume you are a Dear. I am retired and have a lot of time to devote to the fan clubs and follow everything I can about Di. Don't think I will ever be able to see him in concert, so just have to enjoy what I can. What do you think about this MTV situation right now. I do not like them, but still try to see what they are up to. My kids grew up on MTV and I did not like them then either. See you later.
@@shirleymelvin9282 Hi again! I’ve been following Dimash for almost 4 years since he appeared on Singer 2017. I tried the fan forums for a while, but it’s really not my thing. Though I’ve been immersed in all things Dimash for so long, I still don’t call myself a Dear. I just call myself a huge fan, even though I probably qualify for being called a Dear 😎. I can’t imagine going a day without listening to Dimash sing and watching reaction videos. About MTV, I’m cautiously optimistic. He wants to be known in the West, and I support anything that might be a stepping stone to make that possible. If everything continues well, maybe he could end up singing “Love is Not Over Yet” on MTV, the cable TV show, not just the youtube livestream. It’s nice to think it could be possible, and Dimash certainly has a history of making his dreams come true. If he becomes known well enough, maybe someday even gets his dreamed-of Grammy, he could do a large-scale North American tour...even show up in Texas 🤯. Take good care, and I’ll watch for you around youtube.
I love to see your reactions. And I love Dimash. I'm listening to him every day, and can't get enough of him. Please can you react to Across endless dimensions.
Димаш мой земляк привнес новое в музыку ,что то светлое хорошее берущее людей в не зависимости от возраста за душу он настоящая душа казахского народа он показал певцам ,как надо вести себя перед людьми
Wonderful reaction Lukas! I so enjoy your reactions to Dimash ... you really get his mastery. Please react to SOS in the 'white room' also ... the second Tokyo Jazz Festival song. You'll love it! ♥️
Swan Goose is magical too!! I just love it so much as well. The ethnic sounds are just brilliant!! love Debby, Australia xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
my country has gone through a lot of suffering. Our ancestors protected her and there was a lot of blood. Can we protect now? Welcome to Kazakhstan 🇰🇿. 🇰🇿 ❤
I agree, CAMELTOW is such a deep, natural feelings and emotions from your subconscious as the SOUL and HEART responds to them! And you understand everything without understanding a word! Fantastic!!!
*The story behind the song It was 1916, the second year of the Great War. The Russian Empire carried huge human and property losses. The burden of restocking was laid on subject nations. About 49 million hectares of fertile land were forcibly taken away during the war years in Kazakhstan. The owners of this land, Kazakhs, were driven out into the barren wastes. Taxes increased from 3 to 15 times. For the needs of war livestock and property were mass requisitioned. And finally it came to the "requisition" of people. June 24, 1916 the russian Tzar issued a decree "On requisition on the rear work of a foreign male population. The song "Samaltau" tells about these sad events for the Kazakhs. Samal - a gentle breeze, a mountain breeze, bearing the evening or morning cool. The word "samal" itself is associated with something pleasant, bearing enjoyment. Therefore, Kazakhs can often find a female name Samal. Tau - a mountain, mountains, a hill. Driven to despair, the Kazakhs and Kyrgyz revolted. By the autumn of 1916, it covered the vast territory of Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Troops were thrown to suppress the uprising. In Semirechye, Turkestan and western Kazakhstan, the uprising was cruel crushed: thousands of people died, hundreds were executed, hundreds of thousands people were deported, and more than 260 thousand fled from their native places abroad. In Turgay, in the north of Kazakhstan, the uprising continued until The February Revolution in Russia and merged with it.
BRAZIL - Very informative, thank you. Much suffering for many people at that time and Kazakhstan was one of those countries mutilated in various ways by the Tsarist regime at the time and even after it with Stalin.

Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake, What days await me as a soldier.
I apologize, but your translation is inaccurate as to the fact that the song was written 16 years after these events. More precisely, in relation to the original will be: This song is composed of misfortune (catastrophe) on the sixteenth (meaning the year). Note: in 1916, the government of the Russian Tsar (Emperor) drove young Kazakhs to slave labor. At the same time, not for battles, since they were not given weapons. As a consequence, there was a large uprising of the Kazakhs, brutally suppressed by the Russians with the help of weapons
Thank you Lukas for your new reaction to Dimash 😍🥰 !!! Always so genuine and from your frank admiration of their work, talented people are not afraid to appreciate and value the work of others, since they understand that this does not detract from them, but rather exalts them.
I thoroughly enjoyed your comments on this video. Not all waves of humanity have such a one as Dimash to experience personally within the same time frame here on earth. He inspires personal reconnection with a greater depth our own Souls. He has healing frequencies in his voice. A woman who does Sound Therapy stated that recently a woman hearing Dimash's voice experienced a complete healing of her Cancer. I myself do not doubt this. I have heard of these things before. I know how sound effects our energy fields and why it can move human beings so powerfully as music. Have a wonderful day! 🌞 🎶 🕊❤️🕊 🎶🌞 ✌️🙏✌️
Hola Lucas,está canción fué escrita ,la letra,por un joven que se lo llevaba a cavar😂trincheras en una guerra inútil y pérdida.
El Zar recluta jóvenes desde la montaña samaltau en kasajtan,en ella se lamenta por dejar sus padres en envejecidos y no sabe si los volverá a ver o quien los cuidara.
Dimash cantando se convierte en ese soldado,esto fué en 1916,a el le agrada que se sepa la historia de su país,lo cual le duele mucho.
Gracias por reaccionar y admirar a nuestro niño kasajo

Every time I hear this song, I feel homesick to a place I have never been.
Me too! Maybe we remember it !
@@macarenadeoto9359 ❤️❤️❤️
Beautifully put!
You feel very accurately, because this song is about the sadness of a soldier that he goes to war, leaves home and old parents and will never see them again.
Perfectly put!
Not a song, but a spiritual journey.
How true, Gina ...)))
Sim Gina é verdade o q vc diz = ouvir Dear Dimash cantar essa música é uma jornada espiritual grandiosa realmente. Desde Brasil saúdo vc 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🤗🙏🖖

You're right
Oh absolutely this is 1 of my absolute favourites along with Adai and Diadudau I love when he sings in Kazakh it's just well like you said a,spiritual journey. Add to that the absolutely beautiful and amazing traditional instruments and yeah it takes you on a journey. That's Dimash. P.S. vote for Dimash to be on MTV this Friday if you don't know how tweet @MTV @Dimash_Official #DimashOnMTV #LiveStreamFriday
It is a traditional Kazakh song, written over a hundred years ago, from the perspective of a young Kazakh man who has been called to war by Russia, and the instruments are supposed to reflect the sounds of nature as he marches away from his home, devastated that he has to leave his elderly parents :(
Thank you sweetheart! love Deb from Brisbane Australia 🐨🐨xxx

[English translation]
Samal Tau (Wind Mountains)
Samal tau, my native land,
the immense sea
What days await me in soldiers
Remember again and again
Native land where I was born and raised
I'm not riding, I walk
Even slower than walking
For fifteen days of trekking
Approaching towards Omsk
I am at the age of two cycles, the year of the cow
By the will of fate went to a distant land
Samal tau, native lands left behind
We are like a herd of horses, torn from our native lands
My mother and father
They are old men of advanced years ...
This song came from misfortunes of sixteenth years
Samal tau, my native land, the immense sea
What days await me in soldiers...
In 1916, the song "Samal Tau" was born. Like the song “Elim-ay”, which the Kazakh people composed during the years of the great disaster “Ataban shybyryndy”, the song “Samal tau” expressed the aspirations and difficult situation of the Kazakhs in the last years of the Russian Empire. In the center of the work is the tragedy of an individual against the backdrop of a general national disaster. The mournful bitter song of the Kazakh soldier, who does not understand why he leaves his native lands, he tells the story of it.
Beautiful. Thank you!!!!
@ blueorchidfeather...thank you so much for the English subtitles for Dimash's Samaltua.
Teşekkürker🙏
Ooooo my God I am in tears, that’s song,the voice and the music it’s so beautiful. Love him so much. Well done and keep doing.
I believe he's singing in Kazakh, the Turkish-based native language of Kazakhstan. (My wife is Kazakh, and I lived there 9 years.) I love this song. It is an experience as much as music. The back story, however, is important in interpreting that experience. This song is based on the writings of a young Kazakh who lived with his parents and family in the mountainous area of Kazakhstan when he was forced into the Tsar's army to fight in WWI. He had never been out of his own little part of Kazakhstan. The sounds of those ancient instruments represented the sounds of nature that he loved so much -- the wind, the howling wolves, etc. He's being forced to go fight in a war he does not understand for a Tsar to which he feels no allegiance. He misses his homeland and family as he marches to war, and he's wondering if he will survive the battles and be able to return to the homeland he loves so much. With that understanding, the song is much more meaningful and experiential for Dimash, as well as his fans. If it were in English, it might make the Top 10. You hear the mountain sounds and the cadence of marching, and you hear the mourning cry of a soldier who just wants to go home.
I don't remember all of the music that you have reacted to, but listening to two of his songs in Chinese might be interesting. You should watch the 3-4 minute backstory to the Gloria Wu version of the songs, which include English subtitles. Very moving pieces. Daybreak (ruclips.net/video/uXGF7vgEYKk/видео.html) about an orphan whose parents pushed him to safety before dying in a cable car accident, and Autumn Strong (ruclips.net/video/FXQ58U-Eddg/видео.html) about a China-born Japanese actress who was beloved by the people as she kept her ethnicity secret but was then deported when it was discovered after WWII. The lyrics are like they refer to lost love, but it refers to her love for the land, the culture and the people of China.
Рахмет бауырым! Спасибо что перевели на английский язык для непонимающих.
Thank you so much, after your history, hearing this very special gift from Dimash, I became tearful, as anyone would knowing young men going into a war will rave their homes will be altered forever. I needn’t speak the language, when I knew the story,. My brother went to Vietnam at eighteen. Dimash and the musicians fully translated the emotion for me.
Dimash is very sensitive to music that reflects real life and important historical events.
Kazakh language is NOT Turkish- it is Turkic, huge difference! If you wife is Kazakh, she should know that actually the modern Turkish nations comes from the steppes of modern Kazakhstan..... centuries back one of the tribes broke out from the Great Steppe and migrated to where Turkey is now.....
Samaltau is a masterpiece ✨❤️✨Thank you for doing this song. The two string instrument is a kobyz ☺️. He is singing in kasakh.
These are the lyrics: Mountain breeze
Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake,
What days await me as a soldier,
You keep coming into my mind from time to time,
My amazing homeland, where I was born and raised
I wasn't riding, I was walking,
Even slower than walking,
Been strolling for 15 days
In the direction of Omsk
I'm at the age of two cycles, the year of the cow
By the will of Fate, I went farther away
Mountain breeze, my amazing country, you're left behind
From the hollow field, we are the only ones
I had parents,
Of progressed age,
Since this song was written,
It's been 16 years.
Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake,
What days await me as a soldier
Thank you so much, Sabine, for the lyrics! They are essential for a full appreciation of that work of vocal musical art!
FYI.
The lyric "I'm at the age of two cycles, the year of the cow." sets the time setting of the song and that of the young man who is singing.
It would make him about 28 years old (a little over 2 mushels = 2 dozens born in the year of the cow = 1889).

thank you
@@leannsmarie Oh, leannsmarie, This is so nice, such a gift for all of us, Dears, to open and enjoy the entire context of that magnificent song.
I listened to it for the first time 5 hours ago and I am still under it spell. It haunts my spirit heaviliy like if the young soldier were my young brother leaving us, forever maybe.
It is so real for me, as if it was a nightmare in which I cannot escape.
Music is the best therapy there is for psychosomatic disorders, but, it could be a knife with a double edge.
If the sound vibrational frequency is the exact opposite of our own frequency, could it be harmful?
I know that I cannot sleep listening to a certain piece of music or it can make me nervous or anxious.
With others, I sleep like a baby or I spend my day feeling happy, healthy, strong, in a meditate state of mind.
It is all a question of corresponding sound vibrational frequency, as shown by the extraoprdinary beautiful mind of Nikola Tesla.
Thanks to share
ВЕЛИЧАЙШИЙ ПЕВЕЦ ВСЕХ ВРЕМЕН И НАРОДОВ !!!!!!!!!! ДИМАША МОЖНО СЛУШАТЬ БЕСКОНЕЧНО !!!!!!!!!!! БРАВО.БРАВО. БРАВО ДИМАШ !!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve seen this multiple times and I still get chills at the very same part you mentioned. There is so much pain that can be felt in this song. Dimash doesn’t just sing a song. He lives the song.
True...
Yes he really does I honestly believe at the beginning when his eyes are closed he's meditating listening to the instruments allowing himself to be where the soldier in this song is I could be wrong but I feel that.
reactor, thank you for your sincerity, emotions, honesty without envy of the best singer on the planet!
Большой привет тебе,красавец мужчина🤗❤❤❤❤🙋♀️
Доброй ночи, у нас в Казахстане 🇰🇿 глубокая ночь, а я не засну пока что-нибудь про Димаша не увижу, не услышу))) Благодарю Lukas за реакцию, плохо знаю английский, но понимаю примерно о чем, это песня глубоко трогает нас. И Вы очень тепло и профессионально делаете реакции, на Вашем лице все эмоции, что и слов не надо!

@@ЮлияСвибович-г5ж я тоже люблю всех, кто любит Димаша , он нас всех объединяет
Лукас! Я растворилась вместе с Вами... Димаш подружил всех нас. Ваша реакция очень трогательная! Спасибо!
Эту песню написал мой предок! Бабушка напевала ее постоянно! Это Айыртауский район озеро Шалкар что от Кокшетау в 70 км.
Этой песней Димаш уносит нас куда-то в другое место. Люблю эту песню. Спасибо большое за реакцию, до новых встреч! 💞
Although his vocal range is amazing, he is clearly very gifted, and he must have put a tremendous amount of time and work into mastering the control of that voice. For me it is his ability to communicate the emotion and feeling of the piece he is performing. He is usually not singing in a language I understand, and yet he communicates the feelings and emotions of the song perfectly. Every song he performs takes the listener on a journey almost like into other worldly dimensions of sound and feeling. A remarkable artist.
Dimash takes us on a spiritual journéy, right ? Dears I love you 🥰😍🤩😇
Beautiful and touching song 🎵 Agree completely with what you say in your reaction 🙏🏻
Just imagine snow-capped mountains peaks, beautiful blue lakes, the cry of the red deer, the distant howls of the gray wolf and the gazelle bounding away from the brown bear. The dombra is the most popular and the oldest Kazakh musical instrument. It sets the tone for where-ever the song takes place; as on the seashore, the desert plains or in the forest. It sounds hauntingly beautiful in this intimate setting, as DIMASH meditates before he sings. 💫❤💫
Dimash is singing in his mother tongue, Kazakh - and the traditional instruments are a kobyz (like a small cello), a sybyzgy (sideblown flute) and a rainstick. The mandolin/lute-type instrument on the wall is a dombra which Dimash plays beautifully.
Thx for Intel

I can't wait to see him live.
You all have a nice weekend. Doro
Hello. From Brazil. In my opinion, this video has the best presentation of this song. He's singing in the Kazakh language. It happened at the live of the Tokyo Jazz Festival, an annual global event that takes place in Japan, and this year because of the pandemic it was done only through the internet. It was attended by musicians from several countries and for a happy coinscidence it was just on the day of Dimash's birthday. May 24 when he turned 26. Dimash with a powerful and emotional interpretation, sitting in a Yoga position, combined with the sound of the instruments, a spectacular presentation
Samaltau is a traditional song that talks about the First World War in 1916 when a decree from the Russian Empire was issued on the mobilization of the army for rear operations. There was a lot of suffering and pain. So the beginning has the sounds of the instruments simulating the sounds of war. The song is about a kazakh son who mourns to leave his old parents alone, because he is forced to join the russian army for war. Samaltau is the name of the place the man is. Thanks for your reaction
Whenewer when i lysten to him.. I om very touched, it is beautiful. And in the background as well beautiful voice and commentary. I listen to it with great pleasure. Thank tu. Greetings
The best of him.Agreed?
9:34 este lamento es lo que más me encanta de esta canción, es tan profundo y sentido k me llega hasta el alma, hasta el tuétano, i love it❤ ilove Dimash 😍🇲🇽🇲🇽💞💞🇰🇿🇰🇿
Believe me or not, but, having in view the whole amazing repertoire of Dimash, that is, in my opinion, the most poignant piece of musical vocal art that I have ever heard from him, including Daybreak (which is difficult to surpass in dark emotion) and Autumn Strong.
it is almost unbearable, with the living natural and animal sounds in the intro and the desperate crushing feeelings of the young soldier called to arms leaving his country for the inevitable killings of unknown fellow human beings.
That Dimash's low sound soulful vibrational frequency will haunt my spirit for how long, Lord, for how long, my Lord?
For long, my dear, for long just as mine. But isn't that wonderful?😍
@@christakosin6924 It is, indeed!
And more than wonderful, the Dimash frequency that vibrates deep in our soul provides therapeutic benefits for all kinds of psychosomatic conditions.
"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." Nikola Tesla
Have a blessed day, Christa!
Hi, thank you for your reactions to Dimash. They are great and I always enjoy watching them. It seems strange to me that a star like Dimash has less than a million subscribers on the RUclips channel. Let's all subscribe together and distribute this to all our friends.
I love ur reactions to Dimash so much. Thank you!
Imagining myself sitting in that room. Watching Dimash sings that beautifully.. 😍😍😍😍
Amazing Dimash is phenomenal👏🏻
Hello Lukas I am from Brazil and I loved meeting you and your reactions to the presentations of Dimash, this very special and talented young man of whom I am a super fan. Keep giving us your Dimash videos
Ребята, давайте поможем этой реакции попасть в рекомендации. Давайте покажем нашу любовь к родине. Алга Казахстан!
На вашем лице столько эмоций, столько восхищения и понимания. Спасибо вам за это наслаждение 🙋😍💋
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
Такими композициями как: Самалтау,Кайран Елим,Дайдидау Димаш открывает миру казахскую культуру и историю народа.Выражает свою любовь и боль за родную землю,и народ.С детства большой мечтой Димаша было познакомить и удивить мир казахской культурой.Поэтому эти песни в его репертуаре имеют знаковые места
I like your reactions on Dimash😘and Angelina😘
Beautiful reaction, as aleways! Thank you 🙏
Hi Lucas once again thank you for another reaction on dimash song your the best and hopefully you can go on listening to his song i love dimash he is like a son to me thank you so much more power
It's as beautiful as all of his songs.💖
Your face says it all.. no words needed. Amazing
Он слушал песню так как слушали настоящие казахские аксакалы 19 века!😁
Thank you for a most authentic reaction... "Samaltau" is a favorite of mine... There is this evocative, simply mesmerizing feel of longing that the performance creates.... A truly palpable reality, that materialize one's vulnerability and sadness.... A soulful tale about home, homeland and the tragically inevitable life abroad in time of war.... ☮️ PS:Btw: One of the most treasured aspect for me is the introspective reaction that the performance induces : remembering one's own roots... Specifically for me, that one Valia Balkanska song that went on the, VOYAGER golden record (a Bulgarian folk..) This one (Samaltau) should be traveling to the stars too.... 💜
He sings "Omir" in a white room, about his life, himself on the piano and his brother Mansur on the guitar. Absolutely mesmerizing
I adore this performance.... amazing
Haunting sounds of nature with traditional Kazakh instruments, kobys, flute. Dimash always knows how to tell the story with so much emotion. Thank you for your reactions to Dimash’s greatness. More Dimash please. 🤗💛💕🥰🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💥
"Samal" - cool mountain breeze. "Tau" - mountain. The story was about a young soldier being drafted by the Russian army to fight a war in 1916 (World War I). He had to walk 15 days from his "Samal" village to another town in Omsk to register himself. The initial instrumentation was to paint a picture of the environment in your mind = the breeze/wind blowing, sounds of wolf howling and barking, sounds of leaves or water running. From his singing, you can feel the "longing" of home and feeling of "dread" on his way to register for war.
I feel he is singing in the Holy Spirit!
2 Samuel 7:22 “How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears."
Hey Lukas, I always enjoy your reactions.
Let me tell you about song/music
The Intro is made to put you (audience) into the scene. The song is about a Kazak soldier who where called by the Russian Millitary to join the army. It‘s during WWI. He has a 15 day trip to his destiny. And while walking he sings this song. The instruments imitates the scenery/nature/animals. The 2-String instrument is called Qobyz. This eg Imitates a Wolf at the beginning. The flute an eagle. And then there is Wind, water etc. at the end of his Melisme, his last note has a delay. That symbolizes the echo in The Valley he is walking through.
Sorry for my bad English. I tried my best. 😂
Лукас, Вы-душка.... 👍ДИМАШ САМЫЙ ЛУЧШИЙ, ОН ОДИН НА 7 МИЛЛИАРДОВ.... ❤️💕💞💋👏
Hi Lukas!! 🥰 What a Song...I Love it! And please, react "Marigolds"...it's really beautiful...You will Love! 😘 Thanks!
Este sonido ancestral, la voz de Dimash y su interpretación... Sublime! Extraordinaria actuación y versión de esa canción tradicional. Gracias por tu reacción tan sincera y espontánea
He sings in KAZAKH! On wall: Not mandolines, but the National Kazakh instrument: the DOMBRA! To me, this is a highly POLITICAL song ( rather than spiritual, as stated by others). It's the heart-breaking STORY of this young Kazakh man who says he was forcefully enlisted by another country (Russia) to join an army and go fight a War that had nothing to do with his Homeland. He complains of the extreme hardships he and the Kazakhs suffered, having been prohibited from riding their horses (Kazakhs lived on horseback, so it was a humiliation to be deprived of their horses!!) And were forced to WALK for weeks on end to the battlefield in the snow, cold and hungry and miserable. So the young man questions the senselessness of WARS, and cries in despair at being forced to abandon his parents and their fields. He wonders how his elderly parents could cope without his help. It's a very sad song , yet so real!
Close to Dimash's heart in many issues:
1) the clear ANTI-WAR stance of Dimash;
2) his strong belief of the need to care for the elderly.
At the begining the string instrument (Kazakh) makes the sounds of crying wolves.
In Dimash's RUclips Channel is the performance of this song with SUBTITLES - at the One Belt, One Road celebration .
( I detest this project, which has caused massive social and environmental devastation in SE Asia. Dimash was USED by Xi Jinping who named him "Cultural Ambassador " for this disgusting project. I advised him of the awful consequences, sent him info, and asked him to distance himself from this project, and the Human Rights abuses it also entails. Tricky as it was a Kazakh-China deal too. He finally was able to do so.)
Agree 100%. Says kazakh!
Not dombra, but kobyz, another national instrument
Спасибо! Вас приятно слушать, люблю Ваши реакции на Димаша.😘❤
Hi,tradition Portuguese!!!!
I live Dimash!!!!
I love you!!!
Thank you!!!!!
The young soldier was supposed to be walking during 15 days. End he knows he is not going to see his home and family again. It took your hearts and souls. At the end he is supposed to be walking to slowly, probably to the end or death. Beautiful. Beautiful Dimash. So emotive. No one like him. Awesome. Unique. Please vote REQUEST DIMASH this Friday on MTV. Thanks a lot. Great reaction¡ From México.
Thank you for sharing . A lovely response to an amazing recommendation! everything was phenomenal. really inspiring. I love it. Dimash is the god of music and his impressive voice vocal and artistic skills are amazing. Greetings from Mongolia.
Thank you for reaction to Dimash ❤
Really like your analysis, about him being sensitive to the music around him...
My favourite Dimash performance. Absolutely superb!
Amazing, Thanks for your reaction. Next can you please react to (Vocalise) Arnau Tour Kiev, it's on his youtube channel.
for me this performance is one of Dimash's top 5. Absolutely stunning!
He also sings SOS in this performance.... beautiful... but samaltau has a special place in my heart
Thank you for the reaction
👍 🌺🌺🌺
Мелодичные казахские напевы.. Большинство казахов певчих, и голоса сильные... Димашу помогает окрас акцента национального языка обрамлять песню изяществом.🤗♥️
Samaltau by Dimash is so beautiful, mysterious and haunting, one of my favorit and you do it justice. Thank you. I actually prefer the version from the Chinese Silk Road Festival but that is a matter of opinion.
Lucas, I found a translation of the song. There is a very similar medieval instrument in the Balkans, the fiddle. Thanks for the interesting reaction, Dimash is a miracle, although my soul remained trapped by Angelina Jordan. Greetings from Belgrade
Here's translate:
Mountain breeze
Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake,
What days await me as a soldier,
You keep coming into my mind from time to time,
My amazing homeland, where I was born and raised
I wasn't riding, I was walking,
Even slower than walking,
Been strolling for 15 days
In the direction of Omsk
I'm at the age of two cycles, the year of the cow
By the will of Fate, I went farther away
Mountain breeze, my amazing country, you're left behind
From the hollow field, we are the only ones
I had parents,
Of progressed age,
Since this song was written,
It's been 16 years.
Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake,
What days await me as a soldier
Thanks a lot for your precisions
A masterpiece. Beautiful, soulful and unique. ♥️
Үлкен рахмет, Лукас !!! Реакциларыңызды жиы жасап отырыңыз !!! Күтеміз !!!
All the dears have explained the interesting things... you can always trust on this 🥰 SAMALTAU is not my favorite song ( that's still SOS, maybe because it was my first contact with Dimash), but i love the tenderness and expression of this song... if I am not mistaken i have heard "qairan elim" in the lyrics couple of time... he loves his country so much... 💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
It's hard to have a "favourite!"
I first heard him sing the WHO pandemic song "We are One" and there was something special in his voice so I had to search the credits to discover him.
Since then I have listened to him sing something every day.
For some reason this morning (in Australia) I listened to Ulisse 5 or 6 times. Other mornings it's usually Ogni Pietra, but just the once!
Upbeat days it's Screaming (Idol Hits).
He has a composition/performance for every mood.
I think Samaltau is a masterpiece as it captures what Dimash can do without him needing to reach the extremes of voice.
You are not mistaken, there are "kayran elim" words
@@Кунанбай-е5ь Is that meaning: beloved motherland?
@@klikakate "Kayran" means something very dear to your heart which you regret if lose. For example you may say this way about your childhood if it was happy. "Elim" means both motherland and people at the same time. For Kazakhs sometimes land and people are one thing. Hope you understand me, sorry for English. If you have another question you are welcome
@@Кунанбай-е5ь Thank you for the explanation. It's so interesting to learn about your country, history and culture. I'm so excited to visit Kazakhstan once Dimash will have a concert there. Love from Norway 🇳🇴
Good day Lucas. This musical instrument is called KOBYZ.
ИМЕННО ЭТО ВЫСТУПЛЕНИЕ ДИМАША, МЕНЯ ЗАВОРАЖИВАЕТ!
И ПЕРЕСМАТРИВАЮ МНОГО МНОГО РАЗ!!!!
The kobyz moves my soul, as does Dimash.
Thx nice react as usual .love this song ..in top 3..
Hi Lukas! I'm a film writer and director too, small indie films. It's super cool to have you here on this platform. I thought for a long time, what a great way to discover music for projects, find inspiration and those who wish to collaborate. Great reactions and I hope you also discover others like Hua Chenyu (China). He is stunning as well. Dimash and Hua Hua are my two favs by far and I find inspiration watching and listening to them. Currently working on developing another Native American based feature and tele series, as it's near and dear to my heart after growing up as the white looking kid on a reservation. Peace!
Cool. Have you screened in festivals here in US?
@@lukashasselNY yes. AND, I worked at Sundance FF and the institute in 2014. The fests have been smaller, more Native based.
That’s great. Would be great to check out your short films.
Здравствуйте, Лукас! Спасибо за ваши эмоции! Делайте больше реакций -Димашу еще есть чем удивить вас! А я вместе с вами еще раз окунусь в волшебный океан гармонии и красоты под названием ДИМАШ!
Всегда вызывает чувство благодарности тонкий, глубокий анализ Lukas-ом произведений, исполняемых Димашем, и человеческие качества Lukas-а - высокий порог его эмпатии, доброжелательность, вдумчивость, умение восхититься талантом другого человека, оценить и воспринять иную культуру.
Lukas, it absolutely made my day to see you back with another Dimash reaction. It's so much pleasure watching you watching Dimash. Others will tell you all about the song and the kobyz, so I won't duplicate those comments. In case no one else has commented: this livestream is from Dimash's own studio in his communal home (multi-generational family members all live together) in Kazakhstan. I enjoy imagining what it must be like to live in that home and hear these magical, mystical sounds coming from Dimash's studio at all hours of the day and night. If I were one of the family members, it would be tempting to tell Dimash that he needs to practice the song more...just so I could hear it again and again. This song is a sacred journey.
Hi again from Texas. You and I seem to like the same reactors. You have a gift for expressing yourself which I just love. I think some of the same things, but just don't know how to express it Love your comments.
@@shirleymelvin9282 wow, thank you so much 💖 Usually I just use too many words, but it's so hard not to when writing about Dimash sometimes. Lukas is one of my favorites too. From the west coast 🙋♀️
@@Snarky_Tart I assume you are a Dear. I am retired and have a lot of time to devote to the fan clubs and follow everything I can about Di. Don't think I will ever be able to see him in concert, so just have to enjoy what I can. What do you think about this MTV situation right now. I do not like them, but still try to see what they are up to. My kids grew up on MTV and I did not like them then either. See you later.
@@shirleymelvin9282 Hi again! I’ve been following Dimash for almost 4 years since he appeared on Singer 2017. I tried the fan forums for a while, but it’s really not my thing. Though I’ve been immersed in all things Dimash for so long, I still don’t call myself a Dear. I just call myself a huge fan, even though I probably qualify for being called a Dear 😎. I can’t imagine going a day without listening to Dimash sing and watching reaction videos. About MTV, I’m cautiously optimistic. He wants to be known in the West, and I support anything that might be a stepping stone to make that possible. If everything continues well, maybe he could end up singing “Love is Not Over Yet” on MTV, the cable TV show, not just the youtube livestream. It’s nice to think it could be possible, and Dimash certainly has a history of making his dreams come true. If he becomes known well enough, maybe someday even gets his dreamed-of Grammy, he could do a large-scale North American tour...even show up in Texas 🤯. Take good care, and I’ll watch for you around youtube.
I love to see your reactions. And I love Dimash. I'm listening to him every day, and can't get enough of him. Please can you react to Across endless dimensions.
Wow what journey, most amazing. Thank you for being you, and I truly enjoy your reviews.Love love love🥰🥰❤🌞

Dimash very amazing culture and historic song wow
*The story behind the song
It was 1916, the second year of the Great War. The Russian Empire carried huge human and property losses. The burden of restocking was laid on subject nations. About 49 million hectares of fertile land were forcibly taken away during the war years in Kazakhstan. The owners of this land, Kazakhs, were driven out into the barren wastes. Taxes increased from 3 to 15 times. For the needs of war livestock and property were mass requisitioned. And finally it came to the "requisition" of people. June 24, 1916 the russian Tzar issued a decree "On requisition on the rear work of a foreign male population.
The song "Samaltau" tells about these sad events for the Kazakhs. Samal - a gentle breeze, a mountain breeze, bearing the evening or morning cool. The word "samal" itself is associated with something pleasant, bearing enjoyment. Therefore, Kazakhs can often find a female name Samal. Tau - a mountain, mountains, a hill.
Driven to despair, the Kazakhs and Kyrgyz revolted. By the autumn of 1916, it covered the vast territory of Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Troops were thrown to suppress the uprising. In Semirechye, Turkestan and western Kazakhstan, the uprising was cruel crushed: thousands of people died, hundreds were executed, hundreds of thousands people were deported, and more than 260 thousand fled from their native places abroad. In Turgay, in the north of Kazakhstan, the uprising continued until The February Revolution in Russia and merged with it.
BRAZIL - Very informative, thank you. Much suffering for many people at that time and Kazakhstan was one of those countries mutilated in various ways by the Tsarist regime at the time and even after it with Stalin.
Thanks for reacting to this; I had a feeling you would like it. This somg just takes you to another place; on a journey.
Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake,
What days await me as a soldier,
You keep coming into my mind from time to time,
My amazing homeland, where I was born and raised
I wasn't riding, I was walking,
Even slower than walking,
Been strolling for 15 days
In the direction of Omsk
I'm at the age of two cycles, the year of the cow
By the will of Fate, I went farther away
Mountain breeze, my amazing country, you're left behind
From the hollow field, we are the only ones
I had parents,
Of progressed age,
Since this song was written,
It's been 16 years.
Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake,
What days await me as a soldier.
I apologize, but your translation is inaccurate as to the fact that the song was written 16 years after these events.
More precisely, in relation to the original will be:
This song is composed of misfortune (catastrophe) on the sixteenth (meaning the year).
Note: in 1916, the government of the Russian Tsar (Emperor) drove young Kazakhs to slave labor. At the same time, not for battles, since they were not given weapons. As a consequence, there was a large uprising of the Kazakhs, brutally suppressed by the Russians with the help of weapons

Always so genuine and from your frank admiration of their work, talented people are not afraid to appreciate and value the work of others, since they understand that this does not detract from them, but rather exalts them.
