Song is special to Dimash, quote DI:
"Because it contains all the sadness, all the suffering of the Kazakh people, it reflects the difficult times of the nation, very difficult work.
It is difficult to do emotionally, not technically.
The strength of this song is that when I first performed it, people who don't know the Kazakh language, not understanding the words, immediately understood what it was about.
Because after it was performed, the audience sitting in the stadium reacted with a deafening storm of applause ... That's when I realized how powerful this song is!"
This instrument is Kobyz, a Kazakh folk instrument and can often be heard in Dimash's works.
Olzhas Qurmanbek is the master of the Kobyz game.
❗🙏🏼❗
Dimash is the best singer in the world ever 🌎. I only listen to him everyday. ❤❤❤❤❤
Спасибо большое вам за реакцию на эту прекрасную песню, Димаш самый лучший певец в этом мире!!!👍👍👍💯💯💯💥💥💥
DImash sounds like no other singer, sings like no other singer ever has and likely never will be able to!!
When Kazakhstan belonged to Russia, young Kazakhs were forced, by the Russian Empire, to leave their homes and fight many years until their total massacre. The story of one of these young people, who desperately marches into a war that is not his, besides the sadness of leaving his parents, elders, with no one to take care of and the certainty that he will never see the mountains (“tau”) of Kazakhstan again generated this wonderfully sad song! In addition to Dimash's talent, we have a wonderful ambience and two fantastic musicians: Olzhas Qurmanbeck - Master in playing Qobyz (Kobyz, who looks like a violin), the other who plays “Pau de Chuva”! A supernatural journey to the plains of Kazakhstan, through Music!
An amazing performance of the song by Dimash in his studio. The narration on behalf of a young soldier, forced to leave his home and family due to conscription for military service, carries a deep emotional experience for his fate. A little historical background: during the First World War (1914-1918), the Entente powers - Britain, France, Serbia and the Russian Empire (which were later joined by Italy, Greece, Portugal) - fought against the powers - Germany and Austria-Hungary. In those years, Northern Kazakhstan did not belong, but since 1731 it was part of the Russian Empire, so young men, as subjects of the Russian tsar, were called up for military service.
The history of Kazakhstan and its past should be studied from primary sources. ❤️
It's not correctly to say that Kazakhstan belonged to Russia, actually it was one of the numerous Soviet Republics in the staff of the Soviet Union. And what war is meant here by you, I Wonder? If the Great Patriotic War, then you have an extremely slight idea what kind of war it was in reality.
@@user-jz7ew3mf8d The folk song "Samaltau" is highly appreciated not only in Kazakhstan, but also abroad. It conveys the atmosphere of the difficult events of 1916, when, by the decree of the tsar, the Kazakh male population aged 19 to 43 years went to Omsk for the construction of defensive structures and for the rear work of the First World War, which began in 1914. What does the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and the Republic of Kazakhstan as part of the USSR have to do with this folk song?!
Казахстан никогда не принадлежал России, была колонизация... Читайте историю
This is an old song of Kazakhstan. He is so powerful 👑🕊️💐
Thank you for your reaction 👏👏👏👏👏👏💐🇧🇷
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 kobyz.
The kobyz is a very old two stringed Kazakh folk instrument and it’s spread among Kazakhs. The man who is playing the kobys 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.
I love this song. This song is really special. You literally can hear the wind blowing, the storm and the howling of the wolf.
I suggest always turning on the subtitles. Almost every song on his channel has many subtitles for you to choose from.
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.
Another good one is from his Digital concert: ruclips.net/video/QnQbmB6KXME/видео.html
Greetings and love from Germany👋❤️
True story of young men being forcibly taken from their farms etc to be soldiers in another land. Leaving behind their families, not knowing if they will see their homes again. Dimash has a few Kazakh folk songs. Try Durduraz from his Almaty concert. It’s been given a rock edge. Shows a different side of Dimash.
Beautiful Kazakh song and amazing Dimash ❤❤❤
I relax every day with Dimash😊❤️
Dimash the king of vokal. Please Dimash Ogni Pietra IN ARNAU. FANTASTIKA
The string instrument is a Kobyz, it’s two strings are made from horse hair; and the Sybyzgy, a type of longitudinal flute. Both traditional Kazakh instruments. The other instrument is a rain stick.
This song is special for the Kazakh people and tells the sad historical story of Kazakhstan.🙏🏻🇦🇺
The introduction of this Kazakh song, which story is already told in another comment, reproduces de steppe sounds (wind, rain, owls, wolfs, and other animals) and helps the listener to feels what that unhappy soldier must have heard and feel while walking towards an undesired war! Thanks for this beautiful reaction. ❤ from Spain 🇪🇸
🐓Piel de gallina 😂😂😂
Hermosa canción 💆♀️☺️
DIMASH, músicos e instrumentos, increíble.👏👏👏
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
My angel Dimash regardless what song he sings and even I don’t understand.. he sings like an angel and give me goose bumps luv you Dimash I pray for him everyday
You're right, haunting, but beautiful.
Hi! This song is so perfect... technical and emotionally at the some time. One of the best Dimash´s performances... That is the Dimash I admire more... so loyal to his essence... Regards to you from Argentina...
Dimash es el mejor embajador de la cultura kazaja en el mundo. Según sus propias palabras, su mayor sueño como artista era poder interpretar canciones en su idioma en escenarios de todo el mundo. Y lo ha logrado. Incluso sus fans, los dears, aprenden kazajo para cantar con el en sus conciertos. Es increíble lo que ha logrado este chico en tan poco tiempo. Todos los que le escuchamos por primera vez quedamos irremediablemente atrapados por la belleza de su voz, su pasión y su gran corazón. Es un artista admirable por su empeño, su capacidad de trabajo, la pasión que pone en todo lo que hace y su humildad.
Amazing song. Having the subtitles helps realize the immensity of the words.
Good reaction to this haunting and beautiful song. Thank you.
An old song tied to Kazakhstans very painful past..... 🩵💔🩵💔🩵

SALMALTAU
For Dimash, this is the most difficult song to sing, because of the story behind it. Samaltau means Mount Samal. The lyrics are sad because they refer to when in 1916 the Russians recruited young Kazakhs and forced them to fight in World War I. According to the lyrics, a young man who marches towards the battle zone thinks about what awaits him and suffers for what will happen to his parents, who are old and left alone, and who may not return alive. On the way he also thinks that it will be the last time he will see his house and his beautiful mountains. For Dimash, family union and love for it is one of the greatest things, hence the difficulty in interpreting it.
The Russian tsar and recruiters treated them like cattle (they were not fed, they were kept in unsanitary conditions). Therefore, out of 400,000 (Kazakh) soldiers recruited in the first months, 150,000 died of disease and starvation. They gave us no weapons, they fought with shovels against cannons and rifles. Of the 400,000 Kazakh soldiers, 300,000 conscripted Kazakhs did not return home (the fate of the author of this song is unknown; perhaps he died in that war)- Greetings from Panama.
Yo escucho a Dimash hace 5 años y me fascina su maravillosa voz y sus interpretaciones, es espectacular, saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Благодарю за реакцию 🎶🎤🎧👍👍👍
Звук ветра и вьюги, вой волка и лай собак. Крики улетающих журавлей. Народный тягучий плачущий мотив. Журчание воды...
Звуки кобыза. И сильный молодой голос, поющий с тоской о своём родном крае.
Ритм, словно солдатский шаг... Солдаты уходят всё дальше и дальше от родных степей и гор. Что-то звенит и бряцает, может быть это оружие?
И словно плач всего народа, плач матерей, провожающих своих сыновей на войну.
Звук ручья, горный ветерок и воспоминания о родном крае - всё, что осталось у солдата. Впереди неизвестность и страх. Страх не за себя, за своих родителей, своих близких.
Вот, что можно представить, слушая казахскую песню Самал тау в исполнении ДИМАША
Слова народные, автор неизвестен.
Песня написана в 1916 г, когда по царскому указу Николая Второго казахские мужчины с 19 до 43 лет были отправлены на оборонительные сооружения первой мировой войны...
Прекрасный комментарий. Спасибо. Своими словами вы выразили мои мысли.
🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤✌
Thanks you for your reaction and to support Dimash.. saludos desde Venezuela ❤
Gracias, por la reacción. Kobys, es el nombre del instrumento, es muy antiguo y sagrado para los kasajos. En su momento Dimash dijo que esta es la canción más difícil para cantar, por la carga emocional, debido al doloroso pasado que tuvieron que pasar su gente, habla del año 1916, donde miles de kasajos fueron llevados como soldados a pelear en tierras extrañas.
Kobyz, flute and rainstick.
Te recuerdo Daididau en el concierto de Bastau,dónde Dimash también toca otro instrumento tradicional de Kazajistán el dombra.Saludos desde Argentina!!!🤗👋👋👋🇦🇷
Hello, really enjoyed your reaction. This is a Kazakh folk song, it speaks of the time during World War1, when the Kazakhs were forced to fight Russia's enemies. The instruments are a kobyz, very ancient instrument and a rain stick, which does mimick water flowing or rain falling.
Datorită lui Dimash am ajuns să apreciem melodiile etnice kazahe! ✌️
Salmatau means Mount Samal.
The lyrics are life written about 1916 when tsaar Nicolas ordered young men aged 18 to 43 to go fight in the Big War ww1 the young man marches to battle afraid of what is going to happen remembering his home motherland and parents
The russian tsaren and the recuiters treated us like cattle the did not feed us they kept us in unsainitary conditions
Therefore out of 400.000 Kazach soldiers recuited in the first months 150.000 died of disease and starvation . They gave us no weapons they fought with shovels against canons and rifles of the 400.000 kazach 300 thousand did not return home.
Thank you very much from the Netherlands subscribed
👍👍👍👍🎶🌪️🎶🌪️🔥🔥🔥!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your reaction
I just love this song so simple yet so beautiful, I'm so happy that you played this, thankyou ❤
Yes, this was in Kazakh, his native tongue. The song was apparently based on a letter written by a young Kazakh conscript to the Russian army and Dimash and his musical arranger ended up working on the song in an airport and on the plane to China to have it ready for an awards event.
His Kazakh songs hit completely differently and we have been asking for an album of just Kazakh songs for a long time. You will notice that he doesn't usually go into his higher register in the Kazakh songs, Dimash faced a huge amount of criticism and even ridicule in his own country for "singing like a woman". I often wonder if this is the reason why to this day he steers away from the high notes in those songs.
Dimash is about to add another language to his repertoire on Saturday at his concert in Malaysia, he has a guest artist appearing who is apparently the Celine Dion of Malaysia and they will be performing a duet of a traditional Malaysian song.
He normally performs a traditional song from whichever country his concert is in. In Armenia he shocked us with I'll Die For The Wind of the Mountain and in Turkey he sang Gesi Baglari, at this rate it will soon be 20 languages he'll have sung in.
🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤✌
RAINSTICK:
A rainstick is a long, hollow tube partially filled with small pebbles, rice, dried beans, or other hard granular matter that has small pins or thorns arranged helically on its inside surface. When the stick is upended, the pebbles fall to the other end of the tube, bouncing off the internal protrusions to create a sound reminiscent of falling rain. The rainstick is believed to have been invented by the Mapuche and was played in the belief it could bring about rainstorms. It was also found on the Chilean coasts, though it is not certain if it was made by the Incas. Rainsticks are usually made from any of several species of cactus such as Eulychnia acida and Echinopsis pachanoi. The cacti, which are hollow, are dried in the sun. The spines are removed, then driven into the cactus like nails. Pebbles or other small objects are placed inside the rainstick, and the ends are sealed. A sound like falling water is made when the rainstick has its direction changed to a vertical position. ...
Samaltau, that translates “mountain breeze” is a kazakh folk song - written from the perspective of a young kazakh, leaving behind his beloved natal steppe and his elderly parents, when drafted by force by the russian empire to shed his blood in the russian army. (a tsar’s edict in 1916 ordered males of non-Russian origin aged 19-43 from the province that the Russian Empire annexed in 1867 - that included territories of today’s Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan - to join the russian empire`s army ; this led to famine in the territories where the men were taken away from, and to a huge revolt against the tsar, revolt which was stifled brutally. This is my favorite version of the song, it was performed during the quarantine from Dimash’s home studio with two musicians. The instrumentation and Dimash’s voice creates an atmosphere so mystical and enchanting that takes you to that place where the story occurred . 🔝🔝👏❤️🎤🎻
The gentleman playing the Kobyz is master Olzhas Qurmanbeck, the best player in Kazakhstan 🎻🔝 The Kobyz is the first stringed instrument ever. Kobyz is an ancient tool of the Kazakh people. It was used in ancient times by steppe shamans-healers for various rites. Kobyzy is made from a single piece of wood. This is one of the oldest ways of making musical instruments in the history of mankind. It is not due to technical backwardness or the lack of metal devices. According to the ancient beliefs of many people, only in a single piece will the living singing soul of the tree remain, which will sound in the instrument. The open body and strings of the kobyz from a bunch of 30-60 untwisted horse hair give a very thick, overtone-rich timbre. 🔝🔝

Úžasná pieseň ❤❤❤v podaní fantastického Dimasha❤❤❤
Lovely thanks for reacting this beautiful song. I love his qazaqh songs the most. Please take " amanat".
Kobyz es el instrumento con dos cuerdas hecho a mano de piel de animal y palo de lluvia el cilindro, está canción la canta en su idioma el Kazajo aunque en su país también se habla Ruso, DIMASH le pone mucha emoción al cantar está canción sobre un soldado al que mandan lejos a la guerra y echa mucho de menos su hogar y a sus ancianos padres y se pregunta cómo estarán y si él mismo volverá para reunirse con su familia, da escalofríos xq DIMASH le pone el Alma a todas sus canciones e hipnotiza con su dulce voz y te hace viajar , es un Ser Increíble DIMASH Qudaibergen desde luego , es la ERA De DIMASH Bravo 💖👏👏✌️👏👏👏👏👏❤️🇰🇿🇪🇸🕊️🌎😍😍😍💕🙌🙌🙌🙌✌️ PEACE

👉 Rainmaker or Rainstick originally comes from northern Chile. Its origin is the very dry Atacama region, where it was first built by the Diaguitas Indians in the Elqui Valley and used for rain ceremonies. It is originally made from the copado cactus. Only dead cacti that are already lignified are used. The thorns are driven into the interior of the cactus. Then the rainmaker is filled with small pebbles and sealed at both ends.
If you turn the rainmaker over, the small pebbles fall from one spike to the next. This creates a pleasant, even sound that is reminiscent of flowing water or the sound of thick raindrops. While in South America the medicine men wanted to lure the longed-for rain with the soft, rustling sound of the rainmaker, people enjoy the pleasant sound with its calming effect.
The sound spectrum ranges from a fine, gentle drizzle to the mighty roar of a downpour. It 'rains' all the more persistently, the longer the rainmaker is and the more spikes block the path of the pebbles. (www)

Impresionante reacción 😱 👏 muchas gracias por compartir con nosotros y disfrutar el gran talento del maestro Dimash por favor puedes reaccionar a Ikanaide, hello, adagio, stranger y a la historia de un cielo por favor 🙏 ♥️ gracias
Increíble mi amado ruiseñor del mundo!desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷 mi amor ❤
I really love it when a reactor GENUINELY appreciates a great artist, especially Dimash - it's so obvious that you loved every second of this magnificent performance! Some reactors don't seem nearly as sincere, so it's very refreshing to see you.😊 Looking forward to your next Dimash reaction!
BTW, the cylindrical instrument is called a rain stick, I don't remember the name of the flute, and of course, the Kobyz, or Qobyz, the 2 stringed cello-like instrument.
Спасибо за реакцию НО включите пожалуйста СУБТИТРЫ
Включены у него субтитры .
Perfeito
Есть в Казахстане этно-группа Turan, это своего рода музыкальный бренд тюркского мира, они раньше часто проводили лекции-концерты, рассказывая о различных казахских инструментах ( более 40) и исполняя песни на них. Можете послушать их песню Er Turan. Инструмент, о котором вы спрашивали, скорее всего рейнстик. Димаш великолепно передает атмосферу казахской земли того времени, мы очень гордимся Димашем за безмерную любовь к Родине и к своему народу.
👉This bowl-neck lute played with a bow is an old Turkic stringed instrument and called Kobys or Kylkobyz in Kazakhstan. The Kyrgyz variant, for example, is called the kyl-kyyak.
The Kobys is the oldest string instrument in the world and, according to a German scientist, it spread beyond the borders of the nomadic area of Central Asia and became the prototype of all European string instruments.
(Turkic means: The Turkic peoples are a collection of ethnic groups from Central, East, North and West Asia as well as parts of Europe and North Africa who speak Turkic languages. Difference between Turkic and Turkish - ruclips.net/video/PqxhtBecVeg/видео.html )
A legend about Kobyz says that this instrument was created by the great steppe narrator Korkyt-Ata, who lived in the 10th century and that the tool is charged with magical and even mystical properties and sounds like animal voices. In addition, the Kazakh people believed that the spirits of their ancestors spoke to them through this music.
The old outlook and piety towards their instruments and music was constantly preserved in traditional Kazakh society and ensured the highest spiritual level of musical art and a special respectful attitude towards musical instruments. Simple people, for example, did not dare to touch the shaman's Kobyz. It is said: The balance between the courses of life and death on earth can be maintained by playing the Kobyz.
Thank you for taking the time to always post these very informative comments on everything Dimash! I have learned a lot from your posts!😊
😊🤗👏👏👏🙏🙏
❤❤👏👏👏👏❤️🇰🇿❤️
👏👏👏💕💕💕😊😊😊
I love this performance in his native tongue. The long cylinder is called a rain stick. The cylinder has spikes cross the inside in a twisted pattern and seeds strike cross sticks as they fall. I have 3. With my🤣 "huge musical talent", rainstick, wooden toads, and rattles are my speed🤣🤣🤣 I especially love the musical arrangement that seems to include all the sounds on a mountain.🎶💜🎶👍🥰🇨🇦
That song runs through his veins. Olzhas Qurmanbek made the Kobyz (That violin/tchello like) sound almost crying because is a sad, melancholic though angry song complaining for when their country got virtually empty of young men when the russian Tzar ordered first that the horses and later that Kazakhstani men from 19 to 39 should be enlisted forcefully as soldiers and then driven like animals to fight, walking thousands of miles leaving old parents and children behind in a harsh land. From unknown composer, lyrics gives a clue about his origin: Samal tau; North of Kazakhstan; and a clue about his age: “born in the year of the cow” 1888. The author would be 28 y.o. when the first W.W began. A song that could not be sung in the times when Kazakhstan was part of the Soviet Union Dimash took it back to big international stages.
This is a tribal song of his country.
Amo su voz, su alma y lo importante que son sus raíces..
Appreciate your reaction. Many reactors often put their own image taking up majority of the viewing space while putting the video reacting to in a very small corner, so often you can't fully enjoy the video. You on the other hand, put the main video larger and yourself in the corner. That is very nice of you. This song is very haunting and with a sad back story of the suffering of Kazakh people. Dimash is very proud of his Kazakh heritage and very patriotic. His powerful and emotional performance evoke the anguish and the struggle of the young soldier. Those amazing ancient instrument from his country transport you out to a distant land and into the past. Simply amazing. Dimash's unique voice gave me chills every time.
Thank you ❤
The name of the instrument is KOBYZ
🙏🙏
Recorded in Dimash's home studio during COVID. Story of Kazakh youth drafted to serve in WWI. Young men (mostly farmer boys) forced to leave their loved ones and native land to serve as Russian soldiers.
Pointers Sisters 2002 performance. That's 20 years after the Grammy days. The two sisters were in their early to mid fifties in this performance of the hit

Hi Carl .. you did play the story of one sky watching it. Thanks
🤩
The "cylindrical shape" is called rain stick.
Samaltau (Mountain Breeze) is a Kazakh folk song depicting a very dark time in the country’s history. It is a lament, so high soaring notes would not be appropriate for this song. In 1916, after taking their livestock to feed its army and imposing impossible taxes on starving Kazakh and Kyrgyz peasants who lived in serfdom to Russia, Emperor Nickolas II ordered the conscription of Kazakh and Kyrgyz Muslim men age 19 - 43 into the Russian military for service on the Eastern Front during World War I. Used as human shields and treated inhumanely, this led to resistance. However, the resistance was unorganized and Russia responded with brutal force. Hundreds of thousands Kyrgyz and Kazaks died in the ensuing rebellion and tens of thousands more fled to China.
The song is the story of a young man conscripted by Tsarist Russia to fight in World War 1. Torn away from his family by force - just listen to the kobyz: you can hear the wolves lonesome howling, you can hear the wailing of the women of the village as their sons, husbands, brothers and fathers are dragged away, you see the heartblood of the people running down the instrument in some versions - the young man stumbles towards the war front, leaving his beloved homeland and his mother and father behind. For a Kazakh man, whose duty to look after his parents is sacred, this is heartbreaking. The breeze from the mountains is all that is left. The line “like a herd of lost horses” encapsulates the depth of displacement and hopelessness this young man feels. Dimash has strong bonds to his family and his homeland, and you can hear in his voice how deeply he connects to the heartbreak of this young conscript and the collective pain of his People. It moves me to tears every time I hear it.
This is one of my favorite songs from Dimash. I love how stripped down it is. I believe the cylindrical instrument is called a rain stick. At least that’s what we call it here in the United States.
The song is about the war of the bolsheviks and the Kazakhs that were conscripted to fight for their cause.l, not the Kazakh people.
I had lost your channel because I didn’t turn on all notifications. I fixed the problem and now I will get to check in regularly.
I really enjoy how much you appreciate Dimash’s music. Bravo to you.
The long, circular instrument is called a Rainstick here is the USA. The other was the Dumbra. This is a folk song from his home country and in his native language. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌸
Sorry, not the dombra, this song features the kobyz.
@@mrychards6682
of course! Sorry about that. ❤️
The Australian natives have the rain stick too, so I wonder if there is an ancient connection between the Great Steppe and Australia along an ancient landbridge.
The ancient version of the violin is a Kobyz ( ko be yiz), a sharman’s ceremonial and healing instrument that produces sounds of the winds in the mountains and animals and wolves on the plains.
The instrument is a Kobyz!
The outher instument that Dimash playes him self is Dombra! Dombran has also 2 strings but does not sounds like a kobyz. Dombran is also in another form.
This was a Kazakh song in Kazakh about a man that hade to live to bee in the wor becouse they then whas under Russian control. They have onley been by them self as a country seens just a littel over 33 years I think.
True story from when they were under Russian rule
Cet instrument Kazak, le Kobitz, imite les animaux, chien, oies, vaches….c.est l.histoire des kazak appelés sous les drapeaux russes en 1914/1918, il chante qu,il part à pied pour Omsk, il pense ne pas revenir, et se souvient de son lac’ ses montagnes, son village, ses parents vieux’ seront certainement mort s.il revient…très émouvant.
That was two weeks ago
Do bra the name of the instrument.. agree it hypnotized you
1916 The revolt of the Kazakhs against the Russian Empire. The Russians took the lands and livestock of the indigenous people.
He's amazing, but at times he tends to hold the mic a little too close too his mouth. Personal pet peeve.
Yer just jealous of the mic ...lol , just kidding !
@@maggiedennis5530 Nah, I'm no cougar!
I mean Dombra
you mean kobyz
Димаш спасет мир! Это прекрасно!
То прекрасно без сдлов
