La prima volta che ho ascoltato SAMALTAU avevo i brividi. A fine canzone piangevo. Come se parlasse della mia terra, del mio passato. Dimash ha l'incredibile capacità di trasportati nel suo mondo. Io amo profondamente la sua voce bassa, non mi servono le note super alte. SAMALTAU è una delle canzoni che preferisco e che più mi emozionano.
Как он любит сврю страну!!! ❤Глубоко переживает за её трагическое прошлое!!! Человек который любит и гордится своей страной, будет уважать и понимать историю других стран. Для Димаша не важно какого вероисповедания эта страна, важно, чтоб была любовь и дружба между людьми и странами!!! Он продвигает своими песнями только мир во всем мире❤❤❤!!! Он на всех своих концертах об этом говорит, и поет произведения на эту тему!!! Причём на тему войны и мира у него несколько собственных сочинений. Только мини фильм, реквием "История одного неба" я считаю заслуживает мирового признания!!! ❤Спасибо вам большое за реакцию!!! ❤
When i hear this song, i always feel homesick to a place that i have never been to. This is one of my favorite songs from his, even though he doesn't go so extreme with his vocals.
Great reaction! Thanks! La profunda voz de Dimash y sus recursos interpretativos le han dado grandiosidad a esta canción y a los sentimientos que ella evoca, la han hecho universal.
Спасибо за реакцию. По больше слушайте Димаша с казахскими песнями. Где он раскрывается с другой стороны . В этих песнях душа его народа. С приветом из России
This was heart wrenching! I m 74 and it reminds me of songs that my grandparents and their parents would sing about the horrors of war in Ireland. They were starved out, families torn apart, placed in poor houses, and in early years taken as slaves. We as Americans don’t have many folk songs such as this (there may be some from Appalachia). Dimash is a humanitarian at his core. You can see it by the way he approaches people, and the way he presents his music. This song always tears at my heart.
Actually, we as Americans do have folk songs such as this beautiful song. They grew from the travails of our own history. I'm reminded of Black spirituals that coded aspects of slavery into musical Biblical stories. Also, folk songs from our Civil War as well as other wars come to mind. Even the Depression has its songs. American folk music has a rich history that unfortunately is not well known by everyone. I was lucky to attend an elementary school in the 1950s with a music teacher who covered a lot of them in her classes. She made an impression as all good teachers do. I even wrote a research paper with lots of references on the topic when I was in high school. Google it. You will enjoy them!
Thank you. The 2 stringed instrument is the ancient Kobyz. There is the rain stick and the side mouth flute is the Syzbyzgy. This is so mesmerizing and it tells the story of a young boy leaving his elderly parents to go to war. He is lamenting leaving his beautiful homeland and wonders if he will come back home from the war and how changed will he be. Great reaction. Love the intensity of your listening.
It's not only people of Kazakhstan who are affected by this song, it's become a firm favourite of his worldwide fanbase. You've actually seen very little of his prodigious repertoire, some fans will always push his "high octane" songs but Dimash always serves the song and does exactly what it requires, in interviews he frequently plays down his vocal range and says it's just a tool and he hopes people won't just focus on that. We've been hoping for some years that he will release an album of his Kazakh songs which very rarely have any high notes at all in them. I'd highly recommend you listen to Omir, the music video version gives an interesting view of his career so far as he gave thanks to his Dears and the part they have played in his career.
Hey Debbie...well said.Just commented roughly the same...forgot to mention 'Omir',but recommended 'Dudarai',as they seemed to be looking for Jazz!😅How was Budapest?Hope you had the best time!😊
Hi from the UK. Although Samaltau has subdued vocals (for Dimash) it’s one of my favourite songs of his. It’s the power of the lyrics, the traditional instruments and the emotion he conveys that appeal to me.
THANKS for your reactions to Dimash!!!!….. Samale Mountain is a sad song about a young soldier. He sing about what will happen with his family when He goes away about Mountain and Sea. This a tresure song of kazakhstan and Dimash sing this like no one. The musical instrument is from Kazajistán and name KOBIZ of two strings, Using folk arrangements like “SYBYZGI”, beautiful Kazakh wind instrument. This live performance with his instrumentalists friends is a firm favourite of mine. His live singing is impeccable like always, even sitting cross legged on a piano stool. Streamed from his home, his music room it wen down a storm at his first appearance at the Tokio Jazz Festival although he was disappointed when it was canceled he was overjoyed when they decided to livestream it. Greetings from a Mexican Dear!......❤️🇲🇽
🌺 The first time (and many times afterward!) I heard this song (w/out knowing the lyrics), I SOBBED UNCONTROLLABLY. 😭😭😭💔💔💔. I felt the meaning so deeply-as if I was directly affected. I swear that I and many other Dears must have had past lives in Kazakhstan, as I am most attracted to DIMASH’s Kazakh language songs. I know at least SIX songs by heart in Kazakh; I’ve even had native Kazakh speakers compliment my Kazakh pronunciation. You don’t have to be a ‘native’ to identify with any song Dimash sings (in Kazakh or any other language); his emotional intelligence is so strong that you cannot help but be profoundly affected !! 🙏🏻❤️💕
This is one of my favorite songs and videos. Dimash rehearses on his knees as he says, this is the best way to warm up your voice. The stringed instrument is the Kobyz. As I understand, it is a sacred instrument. There is a video on RUclips of a man making on from traditional materials.
Para mi, una de sus mejores Interpretaciones, básica, intimista, trival ... En este mismo festival, un año después canto Ikanaide en japonés.. una delicia.
Samal Tau is a historical song. 1916... World War I...The Russian Tsar issues a decree on the draft of Kazakhs aged 19-39 years in the army. Samal Tau is the song of these recruits. The place where they came from was called "Samal Tau" in the North Kazakhstan region. The name of the author is not preserved in the memory of the people. The song contains the words: “We wander tired, very tired for 15 days, almost reached Omsk. Samal Tau, where I was born and raised, was left behind. Elderly parents stayed at home. How are they supposed to live without me? ". The song also has information about the age of the author. He is a little over two mushels old. He was born in the year of the cow, which means in 1888, so he is 28 years old. This was recorded at his home studio since the Tokyo Jazz Festival was broadcast online due to the pandemic. The two stringed instrument is called Kobyz/Qobyz. The kobyz has two strings made of horsehair. The resonating cavity is usually covered with goat leather. Traditionally kobyzes were sacred instruments, owned by shamans and bakses (traditional spiritual medics). According to legends, the kobyz and its music could banish evil spirits, sickness and death. The flute is called Sybyzgy. Sybyzgy is a Kazakh wind musical instrument. It is made of straw, wood and sometimes copper. The length is 600-650 mm or 700-800 mm; 3 - 4 holes. The sound range is diatonic, the volume is 2 1/2 octaves. Among the wind instruments, the flute is one of the most popular instruments for the people. It has become an integral part of folk music. From ancient times the flute has been a favorite instrument among shepherds. They used it as a means of absorbing loneliness during grazing, and during the evening break, musicians used it to read old legends - songs. Now when you listen to the song again, close your eyes, have in mind what the song is about. You can hear the heavy steps of the soldier, howling of a wolf, the cry of an eagle, the bad weather, raindrops falling on the soil, wind howling in the trees. You feel the heavy heart of the soldier who had to leave back his motherland and his elderly parents. You feel the exhaustion of his walk to war into an uncertain future. The instrumentation is perfect and Dimash‘s voice is reflecting and telling the story perfectly too. Dimash doesn’t need big stage settings, dancers, light shows or vocal acrobatics to touch you. Just him sitting on a stool and the few instruments are enough. I love this song and especially this performance of it. It’s so reduced but the most impressive to me.
Thank you for reacting to Dimash! I can’t get enough of his voice, I just love it! I would love to see your reaction to his official music video of “Be With Me.” It has Michael Jackson vibes and he does a really cool rap in his own language.
Samaltau is a sad but very beautiful song and Dimash is the best vocalist in the entire galaxy! The instruments are: kobyz, sybyzgy (flute-like) and rainstick (with seeds inside).
Thank you very much guys.👍❤️🔥👍 This song has deep meaning for me and is one of my top favorite Dimash songs. I also love noise makers like rattles, angklung, and rainsticks. You are very new on the path of Dimash as he has over 150 performance videos, not all on his channel. Dimash has plently of songs where he stays within the standard 2 Octaves. Fans usually introduce reactors to his showiest pieces in hopes that reactors will understand how amazing Dimash is. Even in his less acrobatic songs, there are subtle vocal techniques that can take your breath away if you know music and vocals. Music videos started off more standard visually, like "Screaming" MV, but gradually grew into cinematic masterpieces as in his latest "When I've Got You". We are eagerly awaiting his new MV for "Smoke" which could drop anytime. Great reaction guys. I love your style🤘🔥🤘 🥰🥰Much love from a Canadian Dear🌹🇨🇦🌹
Awesome reactors!!!! This version is marvelous but you should react to the concert version.....Samaltau Kazakh folk song Performed by: Dimash Kudaibergen on October 20th, 2019, at the Closing and Award Ceremony of the 6th Silk Road International Film Festival in Fuzhou, China
If I understood the story correctly it is about a young man being forced from his home in Kazakhstan by the Soviets to go to war thus leaving his elderly parents behind and not knowing what is going to happen. Many of the Kazakh folk songs are taken directly from someone's history such as Daididau. It was written about a man who rebelled against the Soviet rule of Kazakhstan and was imprisoned. While in prison he was mistakenly told that his wife had left him. It is a letter to her. She had not left him and in the end the man was in fact executed. Daididau from Bastau is incredible. ruclips.net/video/Ra4v19Rp6cQ/видео.html
This is for those who are listening to Dimash Qudaibergen for the first time: Maybe you don't like opera, nor folk music, and even less that of an unknown country in Central Asia like Kazakhstan, but I assure you that when you start listening to Dimash your life will change and It will be for the better.
He sings over 6 octaves, all parts, every imaginable tone, virtually every style. But more than that, he's the best, most loving, and wise 30 year old man un this big world. Dimash, we love you!
I recommend one or two of his recent MV if you would like to see some true diversity from Dimash. "When I've Got You" and / or "Smoke". Thanks for another great reaction!!! I forgot to mention another excellent performance "Dudaria". He took a folk song and changed it up into another genre. Thanks again! ✌️❤️
Música folck histórica Cazaque espetacular! Letra emocionante! Músicos e seus instrumentos tradicionais Cazaque incríveis! O instrumento de duas cordas é o Kobyz tocando pelo extraordinário Olzhas Qurmanbeck. Já os outros como o pau de chuva e a flauta não sei o nome. Dimash simplesmente sensacional! Extraordinário! Incrível! Essa apresentação foi ap vivo, mais deu-se no estúdio de Dimash, devido à pandemia do Covid Dimash se apresentou também no Tóquio Jazz Festival em 2021, onde cantou a música Japonesa Ikanaide, reajam a ela pois foi de tirar o fôlego! 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿👏🏿👏🏻👏🎶🎶♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷
Спасибо за отличную реакцию, Ikanaide тоже Токио джаз, песня на японском языке, конечно много другого, например The story of one sky (Live video) это концертная версия, по моему мнению лучшая.
Please read it, gentlemen. Dimash was asked to be a guest, he could sing whatever he wanted. Have you heard the kobyz (a two-stringed instrument) playing the mooing of a cow, the barking of a dog, the chanting of cranes, the sounds of the village that a young man was leaving.The flute has a name starting with k, but I can't remember it. These were very difficult times for Kazakhstan. First, Russia occupied their territory and forced them to work for her. Then Russia it forced Kazakhs to fight on the front in the war. They were cannon fodder on the front line of fire and were assigned to the worst jobs.. They died en masse. There were no men to work in the fields and in breeding because the only people left were children, women and old peoplesuffered a great famine during which they died en masse. The number of Kazakhs dropped to 2 million. Then there was the USSR, which imposed its power on them, used their areas and natural deposits, and in a large area made it a testing ground for atomic bombs. Children indoctrinated from an early age Representatives of the intelligentsia were murdered under any pretext, because, as we know, it is the intelligentsia that influences the rest of the nation. Of course, attempts were made to eliminate the Kazakh language, so they are now learning their language all over again. Dimash and his family have always cultivated this language, Dimash proudly speaks Kazakh. His entire family has been recalling Kazakh games, traditions and ways of upbringing for years. This fate befell most people under the so-called patronage of the USSR. Kazakhstan currently has about 18 million people of various nations. Before and after the Second World War, the USSR resettled people from other countries there as a punishment, or when they wanted to seize wealth, any excuse was good. The Kazakh lands were suitable for resettlement because there was little population there, the climate was very harsh, before such people built a room to live in (at first it was a hole in the ground),., the resettled people often died of cold (-40 degrees Celsius in winter) and lack of food. Kazakhs are remembered very fondly because even though they suffered and had little, they helped. They have only been free for about thirty years, which is why Dimash supports his compatriots and emphasizes at every step that you should love and respect your country. He is a great patriot.
Все правильно написал! Я из Беларуси, так что знаю, как в СССР притесняли национальные культуры республик. Можете погуглить " ночь расстрелянных поэтов".
@@oksanak8204 Спасибо что поддержали это высказывание, моя мама свидетель этих событий 1924 г рождения коренная жительница Казахстана и прошла всё ужасы тех времен и своих близких, оставшись сиротой прошла и голод и холод и военные годы оставшись сиротой ,в1941годы прошла все послевоенные тяжелые годы, но осталась добрым человеком, человеколюбимым всю оставшуюся жизнь. Всем мира и добра желаю
BRAZIL - - Magnificent performance by Dimash... in reality the author of these lyrics is unknown, but the fact is true, Russia (CZAR) dominated some countries, including Kazakhstan, and forced thousands of men, young Kazakhs, to fight in the War (1916 ) by Russia, hence the story of this young man who says he doesn't know if he will return alive to his homeland, to his family (his parents) who will certainly die without his help. The violin-shaped musical instrument is a very old KOBYZ (QOBYZ) in the Kazakh tradition played by the musician OLZHAS QURMANBEK, and the SYBYZGY (THE FLUTE) by the musician SANJAY ALMISHEV...Dimash knows how to use and when his vocals for the best performance of the song, he will not always sing very high notes, an intelligent professional, with high talent.
I’m impressed with the historical awareness you had. The Qobyz is the stringed instrument and I always forget the flute name. Dimash is very versatile musically but does try to showcase Kazakh culture to make people more aware of his homeland. Cheers from Canada!
@@expluribusunumomnium4633 thank you! I’ve looked it up a few times, but I always find it easier to relate to stringed instruments so I remember Qobyz and dombra but forget sybyzgy (I messed it up didn’t I? It is off screen while I am replying!). (Addendum: completely shocked I got it right, but will likely forget again by tomorrow!)
Thank you for reacting to this specific performance. It’s my favorite. He’s so focused in this song. Beautiful but sad. The instrument you mentioned is called Qobyz. The Qobyz is a very old two stringed Kazakh folk instrument and it’s spread among Kazakhs. The man who is playing the Qobyz in Dimash’s performance is the best on this instrument and a very good friend of Dimash. His name is Olzhas Qurmanbek. You often can hear this instrument when Dimash sings in his native tongue like Samaltau, Qairan Elim or ÒmirÒter and at the stage performance in Stranger. The flute is called Sygyzgy and is mainly played in the Kyrgyz and Kazakh regions. According to Wikepedia it is traditionally played by shepherd horse herders. A wonderful sound. Samaltau is about a young Kazakh who was forcibly recruited by Russia in 1916. He was forced to leave his home country and his elderly parents to go to war (WWI) and does not know what awaits him there as a soldier or how his elderly parents are to manage without him. He was forced into a war that is not his. The best version in my opinion is from the Tokyo Jazz Festival. It’s pure emotion. Samaltau Tokyo Jazz Festival: ruclips.net/video/UvMRkiYu3Js/видео.html Normally there are no vocal acrobatics in his native songs and I love them a lot. In every of this songs you can hear the great love and devotion to his country and his people. You also really have to hear another beautiful song in Kazakh. Qairan Elim means Holy Land and is a prayer and an expression of fear about the fate of Dimash's country and the world in general. The MV is fantastic and he even directed it. The man, Renat Gaissin (a Kazakh composer) on the piano is also a friend of his and he has also written songs for Dimash such as River Of Love, an instrumental in which Dimash plays the dombra, and the song Òmir Òter (Ode to Life). This MV was presented of the 30th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s independence. Also a must see but switch on the subtitles. A masterpiece. Goosebumps! Qairan Elim: ruclips.net/video/K45qdRAIWaM/видео.html Òmir Òter: ruclips.net/video/8VrEFpu4S8A/видео.html Òmir Òter 2021: ruclips.net/video/6Zg9jKRNCF8/видео.html And an absolutely mind blowing bonus, if you think the Qobyz sounds is so incredibly beautiful and unique then there is a viyRUclips showing rehearsals for his Almaty concert in September 2022 on Qairan Elim. Olzhas Qurmanbek, who always plays the Qobyz in his songs, wasn‘t there or not yet there. Than Dimash sang the sounds of the Qobyz. It took me a a while to realize that this isn’t an instrument at all, it's Dimash‘s voice. At first I couldn’t believe it, but then I thought, Ok , it’s Dimash😄. ruclips.net/video/kA6lfgP3-bo/видео.html Greetings and love from Germany👋❤️
Not a jazz song but the Tokyo Jazz festival wanted to include the greatest vocal artist of our time. Wouldn't you? Dimash has said this is one of the most difficult songs to sing, emotionally. He is a proud patriot of his country. ❤
Thanks for your reaction. I love this song! The way it makes me feel like I'm outside in a windy wasteland when it's played in a studio! Another Kazakh folk song that I would recommend is "Dudarai". It starts out quite traditionally sung but then Dimash gives it his own style! Enjoy! 🇨🇦
Dimash sings perfectly standing up, sitting down (on a piano bench in stocking feet in his home studio, here) bent over, on his knees, and even closing out a concert lying down.❤
You guys were talking about posture before the video....Dimash can belt completely bent over, sitting on the floor with his legs crossed. 😄 He knows a lot about war and the pain inflicted on his people. Kazakhastan has only been free from the Soviet Union since 1991. You'll see his last name spelled with a K or a Q. Kazakhastan has changed their alphabet to latin so the official spelling is now the Q. You will see "kudaibergenov" in older videos. The "ov" suffix often denotes "son of" or "descendant of" a specific male ancestor. Kudaibergenov in Russian means "son of Kudaibergen".
In the video for this you see a landscape with mountains, and the instrumentals at the start set the stage: howling wind, the sounds of wolves hunting-and catching their prey… Totally agree with what you had to say. Dimash could have taken this song and done all kinds of vocal gymnastics with it, but he chose to respect it and the history it conveys. He chose to showcase the story. I respect that and I appreciate the chance to learn about the history of his country and culture.
That's why it says jazz plus+ , in fact Dimash sang again the following year at this same festival a song in Japanese called Ikanaide, it's a beautiful song... I hope you can react to it. Thank you!!
Awesome reaction. Appreciate the background info you provided to your followers, unlike most reactors. You rock! Also, Dimash just published his next two concerts: Düsseldorf & Prague. I was hoping for USA 😢 Düsseldorf
Making noise with it (the kobyz)? No no no, listen closer, It’s the wind in the mountains, it’s wolves howling… then with the rainstick, there’s a stream of water flowing over rocks….
Hello friends! I would recommend watching Samaltau’s performance from Dimash’s online concert in January 2021. Very impressive too. In general, the online concert was at a high level. In it he performed all his best songs in the best arrangements and in a wide variety of styles. Listen, please, Give me your love in MJ style, it's the bomb! Greetings from Kazakhstan from your subscriber and Diar. Привет, друзья! Я бы посоветовала посмотреть исполнение Самалтау с онлайн-концерта Димаша в январе 2021года. Тоже очень впечатляюще. Вообще, онлайн-концерт был на высоком уровне. В нем он исполнил все самые лучшие свои песни в самых лучших оранжировках и в самых разных стилях. Послушайте, пжл, Give me your love в стиле MJ, это бомба! С приветом из Казахстана ваша подписчица и Диар.
Great reaction,guys!Dimash will only ever use whatever is vocally required for the song,as the song is the most important(not him showing off!😅)And he can sing and belt sitting cross legged on a stool,or lying flat on his stomach or hanging upside down,haha.I like,that you do some Research into each song as well!Dimash does all genres,his kazakh songs are beautiful.But if you are looking for something 'Jazzy',he jazzes up another kazakh folksong in 'Dudarai'(he has a Masters Degree in Jazz and contemporary singing,as well as operatic singing and Composition)Liked and subscribed,love from Ireland!☘
If you want, plz check out River of Love, where he doesn't really do any vocals except a bit in the background. I want to know how you feel after listening to it. I only felt relief and peace. He plays the dombra.

If you want to hear Dimash do Jazz, please find the video of him singing Durdarai 2023 in China. He wore blue suit for the performance.

He was born in the year of the cow, which means in 1888, so he is 28 years old.
This was recorded at his home studio since the Tokyo Jazz Festival was broadcast online due to the pandemic.
The two stringed instrument is called Kobyz/Qobyz. The kobyz has two strings made of horsehair. The resonating cavity is usually covered with goat leather.
Traditionally kobyzes were sacred instruments, owned by shamans and bakses (traditional spiritual medics). According to legends, the kobyz and its music could banish evil spirits, sickness and death.
The flute is called Sybyzgy.
Sybyzgy is a Kazakh wind musical instrument. It is made of straw, wood and sometimes copper. The length is 600-650 mm or 700-800 mm; 3 - 4 holes. The sound range is diatonic, the volume is 2 1/2 octaves. Among the wind instruments, the flute is one of the most popular instruments for the people. It has become an integral part of folk music.
From ancient times the flute has been a favorite instrument among shepherds. They used it as a means of absorbing loneliness during grazing, and during the evening break, musicians used it to read old legends - songs.
Now when you listen to the song again, close your eyes, have in mind what the song is about. You can hear the heavy steps of the soldier, howling of a wolf, the cry of an eagle, the bad weather, raindrops falling on the soil, wind howling in the trees. You feel the heavy heart of the soldier who had to leave back his motherland and his elderly parents. You feel the exhaustion of his walk to war into an uncertain future.
The instrumentation is perfect and Dimash‘s voice is reflecting and telling the story perfectly too. Dimash doesn’t need big stage settings, dancers, light shows or vocal acrobatics to touch you. Just him sitting on a stool and the few instruments are enough. I love this song and especially this performance of it. It’s so reduced but the most impressive to me.
Es increíble éste chico.se le escucha igual en estudios que en vivo ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for reacting to Dimash! I can’t get enough of his voice, I just love it! I would love to see your reaction to his official music video of “Be With Me.” It has Michael Jackson vibes and he does a really cool rap in his own language.
Sigan con #dimash ❤porfavor
Samaltau is a sad but very beautiful song and Dimash is the best vocalist in the entire galaxy!
The instruments are: kobyz, sybyzgy (flute-like) and rainstick (with seeds inside).
Thank you very much guys.👍❤️🔥👍
This song has deep meaning for me and is one of my top favorite Dimash songs. I also love noise makers like rattles, angklung, and rainsticks.
You are very new on the path of Dimash as he has over 150 performance videos, not all on his channel.
Dimash has plently of songs where he stays within the standard 2 Octaves. Fans usually introduce reactors to his showiest pieces in hopes that reactors will understand how amazing Dimash is. Even in his less acrobatic songs, there are subtle vocal techniques that can take your breath away if you know music and vocals.
Music videos started off more standard visually, like "Screaming" MV, but gradually grew into cinematic masterpieces as in his latest "When I've Got You".
We are eagerly awaiting his new MV for "Smoke" which could drop anytime.
Great reaction guys. I love your style🤘🔥🤘
🥰🥰Much love from a Canadian Dear🌹🇨🇦🌹
Awesome reactors!!!! This version is marvelous but you should react to the concert version.....Samaltau
Kazakh folk song
Performed by: Dimash Kudaibergen on October 20th, 2019, at the Closing and Award Ceremony of the 6th Silk Road International Film Festival in Fuzhou, China
If I understood the story correctly it is about a young man being forced from his home in Kazakhstan by the Soviets to go to war thus leaving his elderly parents behind and not knowing what is going to happen. Many of the Kazakh folk songs are taken directly from someone's history such as Daididau. It was written about a man who rebelled against the Soviet rule of Kazakhstan and was imprisoned. While in prison he was mistakenly told that his wife had left him. It is a letter to her. She had not left him and in the end the man was in fact executed. Daididau from Bastau is incredible. ruclips.net/video/Ra4v19Rp6cQ/видео.html
its russian empire period. not soviet.
Вы не понимаете 😂😂 речь о 1 мировой войне. Никаких Советов 😂 ЭТО ВСЁ БЫЛА ТЕРРИТОРИЯ РОССИЙСКОЙ ИМПЕРИИ.
@@КайратЕлибаев-щ5ы Thank you. I am glad you told me.
I agree about Daididau it doesn't get the plays it should. 🇬🇧
Una of my favorites, I have like 20 favorites!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇲🇽🇲🇽
Благодарю за реакцию.)) Посмотрите ещё музыкальную композицию "Дударай"
Dudaray is great fun and shows how good Dimash is at mixing genres ❤️ Love it ❤
Спасибо ребята 👍❤️
The best singer in the world ❤
This is for those who are listening to Dimash Qudaibergen for the first time: Maybe you don't like opera, nor folk music, and even less that of an unknown country in Central Asia like Kazakhstan, but I assure you that when you start listening to Dimash your life will change and It will be for the better.
"True. He turned me into an opera fan."
He sings over 6 octaves, all parts, every imaginable tone, virtually every style. But more than that, he's the best, most loving, and wise 30 year old man un this big world. Dimash, we love you!
We love Dimash!! 🤩🥰😍❤️👍💐
One of the greatest folk songs
The despair/fear of a soldier in 1916, it’s pretty challenging to sing folk song like this.
Russia conscripted Kaskh young farmers to travel to the battle front. This recording was made during COVID in Dimash's home studio.
Those are shamanic sounds I follow Hassak since 2016
And I fall in love for those Kazakh's groups or singers
What a beautiful performance my dear Dimash.Thank you very much for your reaction.Greetings from Italy
I recommend one or two of his recent MV if you would like to see some true diversity from Dimash. "When I've Got You" and / or "Smoke". Thanks for another great reaction!!! I forgot to mention another excellent performance "Dudaria". He took a folk song and changed it up into another genre. Thanks again! ✌️❤️
Música folck histórica Cazaque espetacular!
Letra emocionante!
Músicos e seus instrumentos tradicionais Cazaque incríveis!
O instrumento de duas cordas é o Kobyz tocando pelo extraordinário Olzhas Qurmanbeck.
Já os outros como o pau de chuva e a flauta não sei o nome.
Dimash simplesmente sensacional! Extraordinário! Incrível!
Essa apresentação foi ap vivo, mais deu-se no estúdio de Dimash, devido à pandemia do Covid
Dimash se apresentou também no Tóquio Jazz Festival em 2021, onde cantou a música Japonesa Ikanaide, reajam a ela pois foi de tirar o fôlego!
👏🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿👏🏿👏🏻👏🎶🎶♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷
Спасибо за отличную реакцию, Ikanaide тоже Токио джаз, песня на японском языке, конечно много другого, например The story of one sky (Live video) это концертная версия, по моему мнению лучшая.
❤❤❤ Gracias por la reacción.❤❤Es una bella canción,muy emotiva, demuestra el amor de Dimash a su historia,a su patria.Es una obra de arte.
Please read it, gentlemen. Dimash was asked to be a guest, he could sing whatever he wanted. Have you heard the kobyz (a two-stringed instrument) playing the mooing of a cow, the barking of a dog, the chanting of cranes, the sounds of the village that a young man was leaving.The flute has a name starting with k, but I can't remember it. These were very difficult times for Kazakhstan. First, Russia occupied their territory and forced them to work for her. Then Russia it forced Kazakhs to fight on the front in the war. They were cannon fodder on the front line of fire and were assigned to the worst jobs.. They died en masse. There were no men to work in the fields and in breeding because the only people left were children, women and old peoplesuffered a great famine during which they died en masse. The number of Kazakhs dropped to 2 million. Then there was the USSR, which imposed its power on them, used their areas and natural deposits, and in a large area made it a testing ground for atomic bombs. Children indoctrinated from an early age Representatives of the intelligentsia were murdered under any pretext, because, as we know, it is the intelligentsia that influences the rest of the nation. Of course, attempts were made to eliminate the Kazakh language, so they are now learning their language all over again. Dimash and his family have always cultivated this language, Dimash proudly speaks Kazakh. His entire family has been recalling Kazakh games, traditions and ways of upbringing for years. This fate befell most people under the so-called patronage of the USSR. Kazakhstan currently has about 18 million people of various nations. Before and after the Second World War, the USSR resettled people from other countries there as a punishment, or when they wanted to seize wealth, any excuse was good. The Kazakh lands were suitable for resettlement because there was little population there, the climate was very harsh, before such people built a room to live in (at first it was a hole in the ground),., the resettled people often died of cold (-40 degrees Celsius in winter) and lack of food. Kazakhs are remembered very fondly because even though they suffered and had little, they helped. They have only been free for about thirty years, which is why Dimash supports his compatriots and emphasizes at every step that you should love and respect your country. He is a great patriot.
Ну и где вы набрались этого бреда?? Не знаешь историю - не пиши ерунду.
Все правильно написал! Я из Беларуси, так что знаю, как в СССР притесняли национальные культуры республик. Можете погуглить " ночь расстрелянных поэтов".
@@РИТА_НЕТ Я понимаю, что тебе пришлось бы стыдиться правды, поэтому ты никогда ее не примешь.
@@oksanak8204 Спасибо что поддержали это высказывание, моя мама свидетель этих событий 1924 г рождения коренная жительница Казахстана и прошла всё ужасы тех времен и своих близких, оставшись сиротой прошла и голод и холод и военные годы оставшись сиротой ,в1941годы прошла все послевоенные тяжелые годы, но осталась добрым человеком, человеколюбимым всю оставшуюся жизнь. Всем мира и добра желаю
Все правильно написано, как и сейчас, отправляют на войну нац.меньшинстао, русских берегут.
When I listen to this song, I imagine myself walking through an ancient village with waterfall surrounding me and birds chirping on the trees
BRAZIL - - Magnificent performance by Dimash... in reality the author of these lyrics is unknown, but the fact is true, Russia (CZAR) dominated some countries, including Kazakhstan, and forced thousands of men, young Kazakhs, to fight in the War (1916 ) by Russia, hence the story of this young man who says he doesn't know if he will return alive to his homeland, to his family (his parents) who will certainly die without his help. The violin-shaped musical instrument is a very old KOBYZ (QOBYZ) in the Kazakh tradition played by the musician OLZHAS QURMANBEK, and the SYBYZGY (THE FLUTE) by the musician SANJAY ALMISHEV...Dimash knows how to use and when his vocals for the best performance of the song, he will not always sing very high notes, an intelligent professional, with high talent.
I’m impressed with the historical awareness you had. The Qobyz is the stringed instrument and I always forget the flute name. Dimash is very versatile musically but does try to showcase Kazakh culture to make people more aware of his homeland. Cheers from Canada!
@@expluribusunumomnium4633 thank you! I’ve looked it up a few times, but I always find it easier to relate to stringed instruments so I remember Qobyz and dombra but forget sybyzgy (I messed it up didn’t I? It is off screen while I am replying!). (Addendum: completely shocked I got it right, but will likely forget again by tomorrow!)
Dimash showed such empathy and respect for those taken.
Thank you for reacting to this specific performance. It’s my favorite. He’s so focused in this song. Beautiful but sad.
The instrument you mentioned is called Qobyz.
The Qobyz is a very old two stringed Kazakh folk instrument and it’s spread among Kazakhs. The man who is playing the Qobyz in Dimash’s performance is the best on this instrument and a very good friend of Dimash. His name is Olzhas Qurmanbek. You often can hear this instrument when Dimash sings in his native tongue like Samaltau, Qairan Elim or ÒmirÒter and at the stage performance in Stranger.
The flute is called Sygyzgy and is mainly played in the Kyrgyz and Kazakh regions. According to Wikepedia it is traditionally played by shepherd horse herders. A wonderful sound.
Samaltau is about a young Kazakh who was forcibly recruited by Russia in 1916. He was forced to leave his home country and his elderly parents to go to war (WWI) and does not know what awaits him there as a soldier or how his elderly parents are to manage without him. He was forced into a war that is not his. The best version in my opinion is from the Tokyo Jazz Festival. It’s pure emotion.
Samaltau Tokyo Jazz Festival: ruclips.net/video/UvMRkiYu3Js/видео.html
Normally there are no vocal acrobatics in his native songs and I love them a lot. In every of this songs you can hear the great love and devotion to his country and his people.
You also really have to hear another beautiful song in Kazakh.
Qairan Elim means Holy Land and is a prayer and an expression of fear about the fate of Dimash's country and the world in general. The MV is fantastic and he even directed it. The man, Renat Gaissin (a Kazakh composer) on the piano is also a friend of his and he has also written songs for Dimash such as River Of Love, an instrumental in which Dimash plays the dombra, and the song Òmir Òter (Ode to Life). This MV was presented of the 30th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s independence. Also a must see but switch on the subtitles. A masterpiece. Goosebumps!

Òmir Òter: ruclips.net/video/8VrEFpu4S8A/видео.html
Òmir Òter 2021: ruclips.net/video/6Zg9jKRNCF8/видео.html
And an absolutely mind blowing bonus, if you think the Qobyz sounds is so incredibly beautiful and unique then there is a viyRUclips showing rehearsals for his Almaty concert in September 2022 on Qairan Elim. Olzhas Qurmanbek, who always plays the Qobyz in his songs, wasn‘t there or not yet there. Than Dimash sang the sounds of the Qobyz. It took me a a while to realize that this isn’t an instrument at all, it's Dimash‘s voice. At first I couldn’t believe it, but then I thought, Ok , it’s Dimash😄.

Greetings and love from Germany👋❤️
Another Dimash s masterpiece!!!🙋🇦🇷
Super mega talent ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, for reacting to my favourite performance of my favourite song from my favourite artist on the planet!🫶🥰
Thanks for reaction
Keep continue to react more Dimash songs
Greeting from 🇮🇩
SOS 2021 and Sinfull passion
Not a jazz song but the Tokyo Jazz festival wanted to include the greatest vocal artist of our time. Wouldn't you? Dimash has said this is one of the most difficult songs to sing, emotionally. He is a proud patriot of his country. ❤
That is an ancient traditional Kazak instrument called KOBYZ! 🤩👍🇨🇦
This is my favorite song of Dimash❤
Thanks for your reaction. I love this song! The way it makes me feel like I'm outside in a windy wasteland when it's played in a studio! Another Kazakh folk song that I would recommend is "Dudarai". It starts out quite traditionally sung but then Dimash gives it his own style! Enjoy! 🇨🇦
Gracias x reaccionar a este maestro maravilloso. ❤Dimash
Saludos cordiales desde Chile 🎉
Dimash the best❤
Música linda e triste ao tempo, faz parte da história do Cazaquistão. Dimash é um cantor emocionante.☺️🥰🇧🇷🇧🇷
👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
The stringed instrument is called a Kobyz, native to Kazhakstan
Dimash sings perfectly standing up, sitting down (on a piano bench in stocking feet in his home studio, here) bent over, on his knees, and even closing out a concert lying down.❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You guys were talking about posture before the video....Dimash can belt completely bent over, sitting on the floor with his legs crossed. 😄
He knows a lot about war and the pain inflicted on his people. Kazakhastan has only been free from the Soviet Union since 1991.
You'll see his last name spelled with a K or a Q. Kazakhastan has changed their alphabet to latin so the official spelling is now the Q.
You will see "kudaibergenov" in older videos. The "ov" suffix often denotes "son of" or "descendant of" a specific male ancestor. Kudaibergenov in Russian means "son of Kudaibergen".
the Story of One Sky is exceptional and worth listening to.
In the video for this you see a landscape with mountains, and the instrumentals at the start set the stage: howling wind, the sounds of wolves hunting-and catching their prey…
Totally agree with what you had to say. Dimash could have taken this song and done all kinds of vocal gymnastics with it, but he chose to respect it and the history it conveys. He chose to showcase the story. I respect that and I appreciate the chance to learn about the history of his country and culture.
That's why it says jazz plus+ , in fact Dimash sang again the following year at this same festival a song in Japanese called Ikanaide, it's a beautiful song... I hope you can react to it. Thank you!!
Dmash❤😂🎉❤😂🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dimash is singing always what the song needs. He feels it that way. But when a singer has such a wide range at his disposal, he naturally uses it.
Awesome reaction. Appreciate the background info you provided to your followers, unlike most reactors. You rock!
Also, Dimash just published his next two concerts: Düsseldorf & Prague. I was hoping for USA 😢 Düsseldorf
Me too 😢
Cobiz the same instrument you listened on Stranger, in the beginning of the sond
Making noise with it (the kobyz)? No no no, listen closer, It’s the wind in the mountains, it’s wolves howling… then with the rainstick, there’s a stream of water flowing over rocks….
Hello friends! I would recommend watching Samaltau’s performance from Dimash’s online concert in January 2021. Very impressive too. In general, the online concert was at a high level. In it he performed all his best songs in the best arrangements and in a wide variety of styles. Listen, please, Give me your love in MJ style, it's the bomb! Greetings from Kazakhstan from your subscriber and Diar.
Привет, друзья! Я бы посоветовала посмотреть исполнение Самалтау с онлайн-концерта Димаша в январе 2021года. Тоже очень впечатляюще. Вообще, онлайн-концерт был на высоком уровне. В нем он исполнил все самые лучшие свои песни в самых лучших оранжировках и в самых разных стилях. Послушайте, пжл, Give me your love в стиле MJ, это бомба! С приветом из Казахстана ваша подписчица и Диар.
💜💜💜🤗🇮🇹
Great reaction,guys!Dimash will only ever use whatever is vocally required for the song,as the song is the most important(not him showing off!😅)And he can sing and belt sitting cross legged on a stool,or lying flat on his stomach or hanging upside down,haha.I like,that you do some Research into each song as well!Dimash does all genres,his kazakh songs are beautiful.But if you are looking for something 'Jazzy',he jazzes up another kazakh folksong in 'Dudarai'(he has a Masters Degree in Jazz and contemporary singing,as well as operatic singing and Composition)Liked and subscribed,love from Ireland!☘
Димаш сидит так, как всегда сидели казахи не имевшие стульев....
Love it🎉🎉
1916 Central Asian revolt.
Gentleman in a long hair -Dimash country is Kazakhstan, not Kirgizstan - it is a different country 🙂
If you want, plz check out River of Love, where he doesn't really do any vocals except a bit in the background. I want to know how you feel after listening to it. I only felt relief and peace. He plays the dombra.
Sad history story beautifully presented by Dimash
