This piece shocked me with how easily it created imagery connected to the instrumentation. Maybe I've watched too many historical shows but for me this could quite easily become a soundtrack to something set in a more historical time. Dimash's singing in this was incredible and I really enjoyed hearing the music styles influenced from his part of the world. Let me know what imagery it created for you or whether it was even your cup of tea!
Love this song! When listening I see myself in a vast steppe at a nighttime, starry sky, shadow of mountains far away. You can hear animal noises, wind gently blows rustling in a long grass. River is quietly splattering water nearby. Magical ❤️
"Let me know what imagery it created for you". For me it was like watching an epic film on those moments where the story is paused for contemplation :)
Thank you for kind reaction to Dimash Kudaibergen Kanatuly.🌸 Respectly, this enstrumant is neither erhu nor rebab. "Kobyz" was ancestor of them. Bowed instruments have originated in the equestrian cultures of Central Asia, an example being the Kobyz (Kazakh: қобыз) or kyl-kobyz is an ancient Turkic, Kazakh string instrument and then Mongolian instrument Morin huur:Turkic and Mongolian horsemen from Inner Asia were probably the world’s earliest fiddlers. Their two-stringed upright fiddles were strung with horsehair strings, played with horsehair bows, and often feature a carved horse’s head at the end of the neck. The violins, violas, and cellos we play today, and whose bows are still strung with horsehair, are a legacy of the nomads. It is believed that these instruments eventually spread to China, India, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, where they inspired into instruments such as the erhu in China, the rebab in the Middle East, the lyra in the Byzantine Empire and the esraj in India. The violin in its present form emerged in early 16th-Century Northern Italy, where the port towns of Venice and Genoa maintained extensive ties to central Asia through the trade routes of the silk road. The Erhu can be traced back to proto-Mongolic instruments which first appeared in China during the Tang Dynasty. (Tang Empire was an imperial dynasty of China that ruled from 618 to 907, with an interregnum between 690 and 705.) Kobyz belongs antic ages. The kobyz (kopuz) was Korkut Ata's instrument. Korkut Ata (Dede Korkut, Korkyt Ata), who played kopuz, composed musical pieces, had a super human wisdom, foresaw future, doctor recovering the sick and was a kam, is believed to have lived near Sırderya river. It has been proved that the various narratives about Dede Korkut, except the two known copies were transformed into different kinds of narratives. Some of the mythological narratives, the source of legends starring Korkut, were transformed into legend and some were transformed into story and/or tale. Only two original copies, named as "Kitâb-ı Dedem Ḳorḳud Alâ Lisân-ı Tāife-i Oğuzân" and "Hikâyet-i Oğuznâme, Kazan Beğ ve Gayrı" called Book of Dede Korkut today, of this book has still remained today. (Dresden and Vatican copies) Korkut Ata is accepted as the father of Turkic music, creator of "Küy" and a legendary hero in Kazakhstan and all Turkic countries. The musical compositions are all interconnected by the epic stories that accompany them. The element encompasses social, cultural and moral values such as heroism, dialogue, physical and spiritual wellness and unity as well as respect for nature, and contains profound knowledge about the history and culture of Turkic-speaking communities. Inscribed in 2018 (13.COM) on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Wise women and men has used to play kopuz (since BC. 3000+). The other people may also played it. It is not forbidden but hard. Wise people are called "baksı" or "kam" in old Turkic culture. They worship "Tengri" (means "God"). Kopuz imitates nature: rivers, winds, trees, wolves, eagles, etc. Antic Epics said that, "when the kopuz is played, the demons run away". When the kopuz is played, people chills, because evilness go away. Anglo-Saxon language is not my mother tongue so I have mistakes. I am an amateur soprano coloratura and a linguist but Maybe an expert music professor may explane that differences so well than me. I prefer studying Sumerian than Anglo now. References: *JACQUOT, A.

English translation : My dearest motherland with its immense lake Shalkar. I wonder what my days will be like when I become a solder Thoughts of you arise over and over in my mind My precious land where I was born and came of age I’m not riding, but walking slowly Not even walking, but dragging myself I have been struggling for 15 days I am approaching Omsk I’m twice a dozen years old (2 mushel *) And was born in the Year of the Ox / Cow (**1889) Forced by the will of fate to travel to distant land Samal mountain, my precious motherland I have left you behind We are like a lost herd of horses gone astray I have both my father and my mother They are of advanced age What drove me to sing this sing is, The mourning and heartache of the year 1916… Samal mountain, my dearest motherland With its immense lake Shalkar, I wonder what my days will be like when I become a solder Kazakhs, like many peoples of Asia, used the eastern calendar, where every 12 years they made 1 cycle (mushel). The hero of the song was 2 mushel, that is, he has already overcome the age of 24. Year of the cow is 1889
I, too was transported outside, to the mountains, the smell of the wind rolling over snow, but also looking down into a valley. I found a picture of the highest mountain in Dimash’s country and that matched exactly what I had visualized. Dimash’s true power lies in his spirituality and that’s obvious to me in this song. Ancient words, ancient song, ancient musical instruments. Magic.
This is fucked-up GOOD. Period. Melismatic embelisments, really? Ok. I just think this is one of the most fabulous Dimash I’ve ever heard. This. Is. Epic. Yet: what Vocalist, what music is better than this? My G-d, I love all, but this is.... something else.
This is Dimash connected to his land, his heritage and the history of his people, so it makes sense that it is more integrated than when he sings in other languages and musical styles.
This is the perfect example of music transcending language and culture! And he did all that sitting down!!! Omg 😲 I'm a singer and I get how hard that is!!!!
Hi from Kazakhstan. Australia is such a large continent and it is wonderful that the Kazakh singer is recognized and listened to in such a distant country. Many thanks. Be healthy and happy.
Аслан Танакулов Yes in Australia Dimash is well known I think I am living in Australia and discovered Dimash on the Chinese show I am a singer in 2017 and I was immediately hooked and Dimashified Ever since then I listen to Dimash every night He is an outstanding young man and just amazing By the way I am not from Australia so I can connect very much to songs in other languages especially Russian and central Asian folk music which must be part of my heritage from the east I am 67 years old and never heard a voice like Dimash and he always brings me to tears but in a good way Kasakhstan be very proud to have such a treasure like Dimash Wish you all good health and best wishes and lots of love from Australia
@@wonderfalg he means a country. Yes even Kazakstan is like 1/4 of Australia but who cares. It was his feedback, where he meant to point out that even in Australia Dimash is known, but not to say how big/small Australia is
Dimash, i miss my Mother Land, you make me cry every time i listen this song.... The deadliest sorrow for Mother Lland, like a good child, gone for a battle and came back to "mother arms" home land... Thiis is what i feel, understand and dream with my own close eyes youur song... Hugs my dear
Loved these ancient instruments and cultural values and music being sung in modern times by Dimash our dear greatest vocalist and unifyer in this scary times.❤
Красивая девушка, великолепная реакция, и музыка казахов просто жесть как завораживает, и Димаш супер. Все просто высший класс!!! Благодарим за сотрудничество!!!
Put it in your mind . Dimash is an artifficial inteleigence. He was made by an an experiment , by someone who has much Money. He is a genetically experiment . Believe me , perfect lungs and pitch , mixing operatic and pop music. Seaerch for igor krutoi ,the man behind it
I never spoke directly about Dimash's work. Now is the time to say. Few words. What he evokes in us is admiration. Let me explain. Entities are low, they practice abduction. This is when you feel seduced and delighted, but, over time, disappointment comes. As if, part of you was stolen. As if you were lowered one step lower. Admiration, when a soul of a high order transfers you, by the forces available to this essence, an order of magnitude higher, to where you should be according to the plan of the Universe, if you follow your destiny, no matter what. He shows Us what we should be, according to the Creator's Plan. And the Soul no longer wants to go back. And you start to work, feeling the right direction. Possessing, perhaps, an innate wisdom in this, he chose the most difficult and thorny path for himself. In his creativity, he follows where he feels the greatest resistance to his divine instruments. And the only protection that can be for him is the love and gratitude of those who admired him. His only armor on this path, our sincere love and gratitude.
Что вы написали, очень хочу почитать на русском.) Раньше я скопировала англ.комментарии и переводила через переводчик. А сейчас такое невозможно, не знаю почему🤷🏻♀️
@@ЖамиляКалтаева Я никогда прямо не говорил о творчестве Димаша. Пришло время сказать. Несколько слов. Он вызывает в нас восхищение. Позволь мне объяснить. Сущности низкие, практикуют похищение. Это когда вы чувствуете соблазн и радость, но со временем приходит разочарование. Как будто часть вас украли. Как будто тебя опустили на ступеньку ниже. Восхищение, когда душа высокого порядка переносит вас силами, доступными этой сущности, на порядок выше, туда, где вы должны быть по плану Вселенной, если вы следуете своей судьбе, несмотря ни на что. Он показывает Нам, какими мы должны быть согласно Плану Творца. И Душа больше не хочет возвращаться. И начинаешь работать, чувствуя верное направление. Обладая, пожалуй, врожденной мудростью, он выбрал для себя самый трудный и тернистый путь. В своем творчестве он следует туда, где чувствует наибольшее сопротивление своим божественным инструментам. И единственная защита, которая может быть для него, - это любовь и благодарность тех, кто им восхищался. Его единственная броня на этом пути, наша искренняя любовь и благодарность.
Dimash ma przepiękny,krystalicznie czysty głos -jedyny na świecie!Czy ktoś ma taką skalę głosu-nie wiem?Ale wiem na pewno,że technicznie jest najlepszy na świecie.To nie tylko dar od Boga,ale i wieloletnia praca i efekt życia we wspaniałej rodzinie.Rodzice mogą być dumni z tak wspaniałego dziecka,któremu pomimo talentu,oryginalnej urody i powodzenia nie przewróciło się w głowie.Ten charyzmatyczny piosenkarz robi też kawał wspaniałej roboty dając koncerty charytatywne i przeznaczając spore pieniądze na żywność dla ludzi ubogich.Jestem wielbicielką jego talentu i nie ma dnia bez Dimasha.Cieszę się,że jest już zauważalny nie tylko w Azji i Europie,ale i w Stanach Zjednoczonych,gdzie koncertował w N.Yorku.Dimash śpiewaj i ciesz nasze serca spragnione piękna. Donata-Poland
This... I don't even want to put words to it. This piece was flight. It was throwing off the facades and falsehoods that we as societies mire ourselves in daily. It was an unchaining of spirit. It was glorious.
Mine is his performance of SOS when he pays tribute to his friend and he is singing in that sphere thing over the stage. Very beautiful tribute as well
The erhu-like instrument is called Cobyz, and yes the combination of cobyz and rainstick only is enough to feel you peaceful yet restless, and you can feel that you are outside in the wilds when you close your eyes. If you react to his newest song and music video called "Qairan Elim", you will find the cobyz instrument and the instrument player again there. Please react to it, it's epic and jawdropping in a different way like you never seen before. Thanks for the reaction Julia, so glad you come back to Dimash. Cheers!! 😊
Salamualaikum Julia thank you so much for your very educational interesting reaction of dear dimash music whio conquered the whole world hearts and soul.. thank you.
Korkyt Ata and the Cobyz instrument are indivisible words and can't be not associated with each other. Hear out Korkyt Ata's pieces which he performed back in 8-9 centuries on Kobyz. Legends say he is the one who created this instrument. And don't forget to read the legend of Korkyt Ata, it's astonishing...
This by far is my favourite Dimash's song. There's no high notes but the song really wrenches the heart. You can feel the elements of the outside and the waves of emotions from the inside of his body. Beautiful.
dimash is the most emotional most connected singer i have ever listened to. the g.o.a.t, of music so far, not afraid to take on anything and so many languages to choose from lol
Slm Julia, this song where lyricism reaches its peak is truly amazing. Dimash is incredible. He immerses everyone who closes his eyes into this energy that surrounds himself. I understand you very much, I have listened to this piece many times, it took me to another dimension. Thank you for your reactions to this song. I'm looking forward to your new videos.
One reactor said, he grabs your soul and takes it wherever he wants it to be for that song. By the way, who is doing all that gorgeous arrangements for him? He should be more appreciated!
wbrenne Probably his friend Erlan Bevkchuri, who helps Dimash with his musical arrangements. Yes, he should be more appreciated! But Dimash said in an interview that he conceives the direction he wants the piece to go and then Erlan makes the arrangement to support this creative direction. I’m sure Dimash also has significant input since he is a composer!
@@maisiet8929 Hi ... I agree with both of my friends, I think they both deserve to be praised separately, but the last person to sing the soul of a Song determines it. If you make the best and the most spirited song in the world, if the person who sings it cannot give its right, the song will not pass to man. but dimash so is the perfect singer.
Dimash is without question the most gifted vocalist I've ever heard, and I've been around many decades. We love him as much for his humility, generosity, love of family and love of country as we do for his skill, talent, stage presence, poise, ability to touch our emotions, dedication, discipline, (I could go on and on!) He's remarkable.
Джулия,не знаю какое время суток у вас. Но желаю ВАМ,здоровья и всех благ,которые есть в этом мире! Вы без субтитров,почувствали эту композицию Димаша.думаю у вас где то в далёком есть предки которые посещали наши края.
BRAZIL - Wonderful reaction, SAMALTAU is magnificent. It's the KAZAK magic, the language, the SOUND OF KOBYZ, SYBYZGY, the lyrics, when Dimash sings in Kazakh it's simply magical, the emotion comes out even more. YOU NEED TO REACT TO THE WONDERFUL MUSIC AMANAT, I love this song too.
Сидит Димаш по-казахски. Инструменты, если внимательно слушать, передают звуки казахской степи. Вначале волки, которых отгоняют от аула собаки, потом звуки повозки, перелетных гусей и журавлей, звук ветра и журчание небольшойй речки, а поет сам Димаш так, как обычно бывает, что хочется петь (или орать, если не умеешь петь), если выехать в бескрайнюю степь, особенно весной, когда цветут тюльпаны и пахнет молодой полынью и нагретой землей...
Разрешите поставить перевод вашего комментария, спасибо: Dimash sits in Kazakh. The instruments, if you listen carefully, convey the sounds of the Kazakh steppe. First, the wolves, which are chased away from the aul by the dogs, then the sounds of a cart, migratory geese and cranes, the sound of the wind and the murmur of a small river, and Dimash himself sings as it usually happens that he wants to sing (or yell if you can't sing) if you leave to the endless steppe, especially in spring, when tulips bloom and smells of young wormwood and hot earth ...
Так и есть, если подходить предметно. Но я когда первый раз услышал эту песню (я бы даже сказал, балладу), то в итоге ощутил нечто потустороннее, словно увидел сквозь время, как над горами и степью летит орел, а внизу течет жизнь... года, десятилетия, столетия, как проходит история народа, где есть печаль, радость, мирная жизнь, смерть. Видимо, так и должно быть у настоящих, действительно талантливых произведений, когда каждый видит в них что-то свое, но обязательно видит, а не просто слушает.
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
Beautiful reaction!! All his Kazakh songs are just as beautiful!! This song is about a young man going to war & having to leave his aging parents. Stay safe👏👏 💖💖
I love this song so much. It is incredibly evocative of the animals in the stepps, with the vaulted sky above. The wind blowing as the singer trudges disconsolately away from all that he knows this a war that is not his. He leaves behind his family, and home. He pulls my heart from my soul. I am torn apart. Grief overwhelmes me.
Julia happy to see you again with the Best singer in the world DIMASH we missed you here in FRANCE, please react again with Dimash english songs... We still waiting for you.Big kiss from PARIS.
Excellent. You made me discover what now is my favourite Dimash's performance, too. it was really breathtaking; to say that it's been like feeling of being "submerged" is truly on point. Through your commentary and your soulful reaction this song really got me, I need to praise your way of being true to the camera. I strongly felt it. Don't ever stop doing this, I feel like you're very capable to convey the "true soul" of the songs you react to. Hugs from Italy, and keep it up 😌
you asked "Why am I on horseback?" (the feeling) - I felt the same way. The instrument Kobyz is ancient and sacred, originally used by Shamans, treated reverently by this amazing musician who brings forth the imagery: wolves, water, horses, crying... There's another performance of this in front of a large audience, where the musical intro is quite long, and you can hear more of those nature sounds. And, his newest MV 'Qairan Elim' features the instrument (and the same musician - Olzhas Qurmanbek).
Respectly, The "kobyz" is neither shamanic nor belongs of darkness. Shamans playing a special drum. ( blog.newcropshop.com/inspiration-siberian-shaman-drums/) The term “shaman” originates in Siberia. It describes a person who possesses the ability to perform soul journeys. Thereby he or she serves as a mediator between the tribe and the spirit world. However, all shamans are not belong "good side"... Dark shamans invoke the evil spirits. The kobyz was Korkut Ata's instrument. Korkut Ata (Dede Korkut, Korkyt Ata), who played kobyz, composed musical pieces, had a super human wisdom, foresaw future, doctor recovering the sick, and was a "kam", is believed to have lived near Sırderya river. Korkut Ata is accepted as the father of Turkic music, creator of "Küy" and a legendary hero in Kazakhstan and all Turkic countries. Wise women and men has used to play kobyz (since BC. 3000 ). The other people may also played it. It is not forbidden but hard. Wise people are called "Baksı" or "Kam" in old Turkic culture. They worship "Tengri" (means "God"). They are the good ones. the Kobyz (Kazakh: қобыз) or kyl-kobyz is an ancient Turkic, Kazakh string instrument Kobyz imitates nature: rivers, winds, trees, wolves, eagles, etc. 🐺 🌙Antic Epics said that, "when the kobyz is played, the demons run away". When the kobyz is played, people chills, because evilness go away. 🌙 Anglo-Saxon language is not my mother tongue so I have mistakes, sorry for that.🌼 References: *JACQUOT, A.

@@lilatomrissoze6237 respectfully, the description of shamanism as a concept is not confined to Siberia, as you know, and shamanism is not (all) darkness. Also: kazakh-tv.kz/en/programms/viewArchive?id=25368
@@CarlaHolley Exactly Shamanism is not (all) darkness but there are dark shamans. "Kams" and "Baksıs" completely belong Tengri (God). They are all good humans like "Korkyt Ata". This video like a "cultural soup". Narrator said "Baksı played Kobyz" and than "in shamanic ritual". In the animistic society everything was considered having life and embody a soul. A general trait which can be detected in native societies throughout the world is the concept of and alter reality divided into three worlds: The Lowerworld, where the shaman sought power, power objects, and power animals. The Middleworld which was where humans lived perceived through a shamanic state of mind. The Upperworld where the shaman could seek wisdom and visions concerning past, presence, and future. Thereby she or he serves as a mediator between the human and the spirit world. Wise people are called "Baksı" or "Kam" in old Turkic culture. They worship "Tengri" (means "God"). They are the good ones. However, all shamans are not belong "good side"... Dark shamans invoke the evil spirits. İf a dark shaman played kobyz, he/she will definitily lost his/her "assistant" dark spirit. Sometimes, although rare, weak or inexperienced shamans cannot keep the evils under control. Dark spirits can be haunted in shaman stuffs. Who knows? This video's source Alexander Efimovich Alektorov (1861-1918), was a panslavism missionaire. He even denied Kazakh Language. This is about "Index of books, magazine and newspaper articles and notes on the Kirghiz", 2013 [1]. Here, its important to note that under the ethnonym "Kirghiz" in the studies of Russian scientists before the beginning of the twentieth century, both modern ethnic Kazakhs and ethnic Kyrgyz were implied. Modern linguists investigating Kazakh-Russian bilingualism, practically do not turn to this fundamental work. He said: "Kazaks and Kirghiz" are same. I am not suprised to "Shamans and Baksıs same". Although it hardly matters, all orientalists's worst thinking is "all Orienté is same". Not true at all. Merely assumptions.
Julia!....THANKS for your reactions to Dimash!!!!.....Samaltau. Samale Mountain is a sad song about a young soldier in WW1 leaving his beloved Homeland and Parents behind to go in to uncertain future. 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. Greetings from a Mexican Dear!....❤️🇲🇽👏🏻🇰🇿
pretty please listen to the vocalise of the song Know. It's a mix of amazing dynamics there's no words so it's all emotion and he combines his styles folk style it's outstanding and I really feel like you it enjoy it and I know that I would enjoy watching you react
Спасибо за такую чуткую, эмоциональную реакцию...Вместе с вами я вслушивалась в каждую ноту. Национальные инструменты и голос Димаша творят чудеса!))),,👍👍
TANK YOU SOY MACH. NICE REACTION TO THE PROFESSIONAL MASTER MUZIK BLOGGER. YOU PROFESSIONAL VOCOLIST. TANK YOU SOY MACH. DIMASH KUDAIBERGEN BUTEFUL MAN ARTIST LEGEND KAZAXCTAN. DIMASH FENOMENAL VOICE VOCOLIST SINGER KAZAXCTAN. DIMASH PROFESSIONAL COMPOSER, PROFESSIONAL DANSEN, PROFESSIONAL MASTER MUZIKANT SINGER.
You know, as much as I love Nightwish and idolyze and admire each member of the band, Dimash is just on a level on its own, where no mortal can even come close. I mean, just look at our boy chilling with his feet under his butt, being like:'What leg support? Who even needs that...'
Julia really enjoy your reactions to Dimash he is unreal maybe an Alien? Another Dimash you should do is "Ogni Pietra" a full Opera piece writen for him. Another out of this world voice is one from here in the USA she has been singing for a few years now but you should do a reaction to her "Lovers" from "The House of Flying Daggers" at her 2011 PBS concert also "Nessun Dorma" from same and also do her 2013 cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" in Las Vegas "One Drop" special.
Thank you for your reaction and analysis! Indeed, Samaltau is one of my favorite Dimash's songs as well. You might want to check out for your own entertainment his performance on the Silk Road 2019 Film Festival. It's pretty similar, but the stage setup is simply amazing, trying to simulate the Kazakh steppes. Although his performance is very similar, I think it's even more majestic!! I would also like to recommend "Ogni Pietra" (aka Olympico) for your next taste of Dimash. This is a pop/rock aria written for Dimash by Igor Krutoy, and you can enjoy Dimash going full classical singing from an impressive baritone, to a fantastic tenor tone, to a high soprano. It's super impressive, one his best moments, in my opinion. A legendary song.
This song is about a young Kazakh man who was recruited by force as a soldier to the Russian army to fight in the World War One... so he is walking along a night steppes worrying about his old parents since he is only one son of them... This was recorded in a home studio because of quarantine...
@@jvoxfox Julia, that's a lie. Kazakhs, among some ethnic groups in the Russian Empire, were not subject to mobilization in the active army and did not participate in combat operations. On June 25, 1916, Emperor Nicholas II issued the Highest order to attract a certain number of men from these peoples to work on the construction of defensive structures. Moreover, they were paid good money for these works. But as a result, an uprising broke out on the territory of present-day Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan under the banner of Gazavat (war against infidels). The brutal gangs attacked the peaceful Russian population (men fought on the fronts of the World War One). Thousands of Russian women, children and old people were mercilessly killed. The uprising was brutally suppressed. It saddens me that a talent of such magnitude as the Dimash, helps the distribution of ahistorical myths.
@@muratomar6502 Nope. Text of the Highest Command (reprint) + Report of the Turkestan Governor-General and commander of the Turkestan military district Kuropatkin to His Imperial Majesty Nicholas II, February 1917.
Julia shows what an insightful music reaction can be...so much more than "OMG, that is so cool". When we learn how to listen to the nuances in music, it becomes much more rewarding.
Thanks for your reaction! The instrument is called "Kobyz". This is an ancient instrument of the Kazakh people. The sound of the wind is the sound of the great steppe, imitation of the mooing of a cow, the barking of a dog, the howl of a wolf, the crowing of cranes and other sounds of nature, this is all kobyz. The song of a young guy whom the authorities called to the First World War leaves his native place.
Hey Julia, Kerry here from Washington St USA, ADear since 2017 and your spot on this is one of my favorites too and for me please pardon but when Di sings its truley an eargazm not trying to be crude but it describes it totally and I believe that Di truly is sent from the heavens THERES NO ONE THAT CAN TOUCH HIM NO ONE ! Ilove your reactions keep it up take care. KERRY😊
I always love Dimash sings in his own Kazakh song, this is one of them, I think I dig all his songs already, and I watch him everyday, he can sing Chinese song so well, I never run out to watch Dimash perform, so talented, thanks.
Performances like Know, love of tired swans, your love or across endless dimensions could be interesting. Plus they have subtitles. For emotional songs you can check out love is like a dream, autumn strong or daybreak. Autumn strong and daybreak has a story behind it. Incase you listen to that. React to the video of gloria wu where she explains the story aswell😋👍🏼
The next logical piece to watch now would be Qairan Elim, his latest music video. It features the same Kobyz player (the string instrument), is filmed outside directed by Dimash, and carries a deep message through powerful and symbolic images and music. I haven't seen anyone who is not deeply moved by that masterpiece of synthesis of the arts.
Dear Julia, the instrument has 2 spellings. In Kazakhstan it is Qobyz and here it is Kobyz. Thank you for getting back to Dimash but I hope your next reaction to him is more frequent as ha has so many things you haven't reacted to and he does so many things that shock or surprise. He even released the first video he co directed August 9th that is a kazakh prayer about his Homeland but he wants it to apply to everybody's Homeland and specifically to the world at this time with everything going on. It is titled Qairan Elim & it has subtitles for most of the song so be sure to turn them on. 🎶👱♀️👗👠👠💓
really nice reaction, i would like to only say...i am no singer or vocal coach, but I can play it 5x - 6x per day and it won´t be enough...for me is it masterpiece, i watched Dimash lot of time and propably most of his performances, which you can found on internet and this one is for my most touching performance,..mayby as Daybreak on concert, which is amazing too. Keep doing, greetings from Czech
It would be so amazing that this type of music would be more present. It's sad that many people will never hear and experience this totally different music.
Wow, this has a mystical, ritualistic vibe about it, like epic religious music. I'm also reminded of Vangelis circa 1982. This guy is amazing. Always appreciate your musical insights Julia. Cheers.
Thank you Julia! I very much did enjoy! Maybe not as technically showy as many of his other performances, but it was so engaging and mesmerizing!!!! ...and those traditional instruments. just delightful!!!
Love this, the imagery it evokes is stunning. The instrument is a kobyz and is used beautifully in his latest song Qairan Elim which is on his channel 🤗🇬🇧 I also think you would like Ascolta la Voce vocalise (no lyrics) from his Kiev concert March 2020, again on his channel (hope you’ll react to this one 🙏😊)
Great reaction Julia, I'm with you on this. Stunning performance. I think you will enjoy his latest release Qairan Elim which to my mind is so relavent in today's world. Dimash knows no limits. His music is his art.. Thank you from New Zealand
Hello Julia! This instruments is called Cobyz traditions my county Kazahstana he is sounds nature and animals! Yes this instrumenst very intrestings he is like!)
@@jvoxfox By the way, there is still one instruments or this innstruments Dimash show new clip - Qairan Elim. He is Directos it is clips he is filmed clip and here is planing Cobyz in cilp will!
I love this guy! He sings in several languages too. Wow rolling r's and singing as well. His control is amazing. He has been singing and playing the piano since he was 5. His mother is a soprano singer. I think he could make Pig Latin sound good.
If u want to hear a similar song, listen to his new song „Qairan Elim“. If you want to see him do crazy arabic runs check out his version ih the song „hello“ :) Thanks for your reaction. I Listen to samaltau everyday. I love the song from him❤️
thank you for reacting to Samaltau, it is honestly one of most impactful for me Dimash performances. i dont know why if feels it is not more popular out there
TY for introducing me to this performance. Ive seen it before but always passed on it, never knew it was such a sleeper hit. Just became one of my favs too.
I stopped listening to anything new after High School so two decades of either enjoying the classics i loved or mindless driving with the billboard top 100 radio station. I heard Morissette sing, which lead me on a path to Dimash and many more vocalists like So Hyang, KZ Tandingan. Not understanding why i liked them besides because the songs sounded good, you explained the mechanics and i just appreciate vocalists more than i have ever. Even the music i have always liked i enjoy even more. Through the little understanding i got from you and your peers. Thank you for contributing to the return of music to my life.
This piece shocked me with how easily it created imagery connected to the instrumentation. Maybe I've watched too many historical shows but for me this could quite easily become a soundtrack to something set in a more historical time. Dimash's singing in this was incredible and I really enjoyed hearing the music styles influenced from his part of the world. Let me know what imagery it created for you or whether it was even your cup of tea!
Спасибо, у меня похожие чувства
Love this song! When listening I see myself in a vast steppe at a nighttime, starry sky, shadow of mountains far away. You can hear animal noises, wind gently blows rustling in a long grass. River is quietly splattering water nearby. Magical ❤️
After this performance you must react to Dimash-Know ( vocalise) arnau tour
"Let me know what imagery it created for you". For me it was like watching an epic film on those moments where the story is paused for contemplation :)
LatteGreece Thess agreed its absolutely amazing
Thank you for kind reaction to Dimash Kudaibergen Kanatuly.🌸
Respectly, this enstrumant is neither erhu nor rebab. "Kobyz" was ancestor of them. Bowed instruments have originated in the equestrian cultures of Central Asia, an example being the Kobyz (Kazakh: қобыз) or kyl-kobyz is an ancient Turkic, Kazakh string instrument and then Mongolian instrument Morin huur:Turkic and Mongolian horsemen from Inner Asia were probably the world’s earliest fiddlers. Their two-stringed upright fiddles were strung with horsehair strings, played with horsehair bows, and often feature a carved horse’s head at the end of the neck. The violins, violas, and cellos we play today, and whose bows are still strung with horsehair, are a legacy of the nomads.
It is believed that these instruments eventually spread to China, India, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, where they inspired into instruments such as the erhu in China, the rebab in the Middle East, the lyra in the Byzantine Empire and the esraj in India. The violin in its present form emerged in early 16th-Century Northern Italy, where the port towns of Venice and Genoa maintained extensive ties to central Asia through the trade routes of the silk road.
The Erhu can be traced back to proto-Mongolic instruments which first appeared in China during the Tang Dynasty. (Tang Empire was an imperial dynasty of China that ruled from 618 to 907, with an interregnum between 690 and 705.) Kobyz belongs antic ages.
The kobyz (kopuz) was Korkut Ata's instrument. Korkut Ata (Dede Korkut, Korkyt Ata), who played kopuz, composed musical pieces, had a super human wisdom, foresaw future, doctor recovering the sick and was a kam, is believed to have lived near Sırderya river. It has been proved that the various narratives about Dede Korkut, except the two known copies were transformed into different kinds of narratives. Some of the mythological narratives, the source of legends starring Korkut, were transformed into legend and some were transformed into story and/or tale. Only two original copies, named as "Kitâb-ı Dedem Ḳorḳud Alâ Lisân-ı Tāife-i Oğuzân" and "Hikâyet-i Oğuznâme, Kazan Beğ ve Gayrı" called Book of Dede Korkut today, of this book has still remained today. (Dresden and Vatican copies) Korkut Ata is accepted as the father of Turkic music, creator of "Küy" and a legendary hero in Kazakhstan and all Turkic countries. The musical compositions are all interconnected by the epic stories that accompany them. The element encompasses social, cultural and moral values such as heroism, dialogue, physical and spiritual wellness and unity as well as respect for nature, and contains profound knowledge about the history and culture of Turkic-speaking communities. Inscribed in 2018 (13.COM) on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Wise women and men has used to play kopuz (since BC. 3000+). The other people may also played it. It is not forbidden but hard. Wise people are called "baksı" or "kam" in old Turkic culture. They worship "Tengri" (means "God"). Kopuz imitates nature: rivers, winds, trees, wolves, eagles, etc.
Antic Epics said that, "when the kopuz is played, the demons run away". When the kopuz is played, people chills, because evilness go away.
Anglo-Saxon language is not my mother tongue so I have mistakes. I am an amateur soprano coloratura and a linguist but Maybe an expert music professor may explane that differences so well than me. I prefer studying Sumerian than Anglo now.

English translation
:
My dearest motherland with its immense lake Shalkar.
I wonder what my days will be like when I become a solder
Thoughts of you arise over and over in my mind
My precious land where I was born and came of age
I’m not riding, but walking slowly
Not even walking, but dragging myself
I have been struggling for 15 days
I am approaching Omsk
I’m twice a dozen years old (2 mushel *)
And was born in the Year of the Ox / Cow (**1889)
Forced by the will of fate to travel to distant land
Samal mountain, my precious motherland
I have left you behind
We are like a lost herd of horses gone astray
I have both my father and my mother
They are of advanced age
What drove me to sing this sing is,
The mourning and heartache of the year 1916…
Samal mountain, my dearest motherland
With its immense lake Shalkar,
I wonder what my days will be like when I become a solder
Kazakhs, like many peoples of Asia, used the eastern calendar, where every 12 years they made 1 cycle (mushel). The hero of the song was 2 mushel, that is, he has already overcome the age of 24.
Year of the cow is 1889

Thank you so much for this. So beautiful

What language is that song, Kazakh? Mongolian? Baltic?
I, too was transported outside, to the mountains, the smell of the wind rolling over snow, but also looking down into a valley. I found a picture of the highest mountain in Dimash’s country and that matched exactly what I had visualized. Dimash’s true power lies in his spirituality and that’s obvious to me in this song. Ancient words, ancient song, ancient musical instruments. Magic.
This is fucked-up GOOD. Period.
Melismatic embelisments, really? Ok.
I just think this is one of the most fabulous Dimash I’ve ever heard. This. Is. Epic.
Yet: what Vocalist, what music is better than this? My G-d, I love all, but this is.... something else.
Sálem Qazaq elinen! Keremet reakzıanyzģa! Kóp rahmet! Daryndy, áıgili, qarapaıym Dımash Qudaıbergen baýyrymyzģyn álemine qosh keldińiz!
This is Dimash connected to his land, his heritage and the history of his people, so it makes sense that it is more integrated than when he sings in other languages and musical styles.
Para mi es el mejor del mundo, único
I see myself in a prehistoric age, sitting by a campfire. Wind blowing in the woods, a river nearby. It's a chilly and breezy night.
This is the perfect example of music transcending language and culture! And he did all that sitting down!!! Omg 😲 I'm a singer and I get how hard that is!!!!
Hi from Kazakhstan. Australia is such a large continent and it is wonderful that the Kazakh singer is recognized and listened to in such a distant country. Many thanks. Be healthy and happy.
Аслан Танакулов
Yes in Australia Dimash is well known I think
I am living in Australia and discovered Dimash on the Chinese show I am a singer in 2017 and I was immediately hooked and Dimashified
Ever since then I listen to Dimash every night
He is an outstanding young man and just amazing
By the way I am not from Australia so I can connect very much to songs in other languages especially Russian and central Asian folk music which must be part of my heritage from the east
I am 67 years old and never heard a voice like Dimash and he always brings me to tears but in a good way
Kasakhstan be very proud to have such a treasure like Dimash
Wish you all good health and best wishes and lots of love from Australia
Sorry. Made me laugh. In square miles Australia is the tiniest continent.
@@wonderfalg he means a country. Yes even Kazakstan is like 1/4 of Australia but who cares. It was his feedback, where he meant to point out that even in Australia Dimash is known, but not to say how big/small Australia is
this beauty is world wide now. much appreciation for sharing.
Dimash, i miss my Mother Land, you make me cry every time i listen this song.... The deadliest sorrow for Mother Lland, like a good child, gone for a battle and came back to "mother arms" home land... Thiis is what i feel, understand and dream with my own close eyes youur song...
Hugs my dear
Loved these ancient instruments and cultural values and music being sung in modern times by Dimash our dear greatest vocalist and unifyer in this scary times.❤
You are spot on dear with your immersion! The way you feel shows how good you must be in your vocation. God bless!
Красивая девушка, великолепная реакция, и музыка казахов просто жесть как завораживает, и Димаш супер. Все просто высший класс!!! Благодарим за сотрудничество!!!
Put it in your mind . Dimash is an artifficial inteleigence. He was made by an an experiment , by someone who has much Money. He is a genetically experiment . Believe me , perfect lungs and pitch , mixing operatic and pop music. Seaerch for igor krutoi ,the man behind it
Спасибо, очень понравилась реакция.
KİNG DİMASH 🇰🇿
I never spoke directly about Dimash's work. Now is the time to say. Few words. What he evokes in us is admiration. Let me explain. Entities are low, they practice abduction. This is when you feel seduced and delighted, but, over time, disappointment comes. As if, part of you was stolen. As if you were lowered one step lower. Admiration, when a soul of a high order transfers you, by the forces available to this essence, an order of magnitude higher, to where you should be according to the plan of the Universe, if you follow your destiny, no matter what. He shows Us what we should be, according to the Creator's Plan. And the Soul no longer wants to go back. And you start to work, feeling the right direction. Possessing, perhaps, an innate wisdom in this, he chose the most difficult and thorny path for himself. In his creativity, he follows where he feels the greatest resistance to his divine instruments. And the only protection that can be for him is the love and gratitude of those who admired him. His only armor on this path, our sincere love and gratitude.
@W N 💥💖😀
Well said indeed..
@@albaracat5988 thank you.
Что вы написали, очень хочу почитать на русском.) Раньше я скопировала англ.комментарии и переводила через переводчик. А сейчас такое невозможно, не знаю почему🤷🏻♀️
@@ЖамиляКалтаева Я никогда прямо не говорил о творчестве Димаша. Пришло время сказать. Несколько слов. Он вызывает в нас восхищение. Позволь мне объяснить. Сущности низкие, практикуют похищение. Это когда вы чувствуете соблазн и радость, но со временем приходит разочарование. Как будто часть вас украли. Как будто тебя опустили на ступеньку ниже. Восхищение, когда душа высокого порядка переносит вас силами, доступными этой сущности, на порядок выше, туда, где вы должны быть по плану Вселенной, если вы следуете своей судьбе, несмотря ни на что. Он показывает Нам, какими мы должны быть согласно Плану Творца. И Душа больше не хочет возвращаться. И начинаешь работать, чувствуя верное направление. Обладая, пожалуй, врожденной мудростью, он выбрал для себя самый трудный и тернистый путь. В своем творчестве он следует туда, где чувствует наибольшее сопротивление своим божественным инструментам. И единственная защита, которая может быть для него, - это любовь и благодарность тех, кто им восхищался. Его единственная броня на этом пути, наша искренняя любовь и благодарность.
Dimash ma przepiękny,krystalicznie czysty głos -jedyny na świecie!Czy ktoś ma taką skalę głosu-nie wiem?Ale wiem na pewno,że technicznie jest najlepszy na świecie.To nie tylko dar od Boga,ale i wieloletnia praca i efekt życia we wspaniałej rodzinie.Rodzice mogą być dumni z tak wspaniałego dziecka,któremu pomimo talentu,oryginalnej urody i powodzenia nie przewróciło się w głowie.Ten charyzmatyczny piosenkarz robi też kawał wspaniałej roboty dając koncerty charytatywne i przeznaczając spore pieniądze na żywność dla ludzi ubogich.Jestem wielbicielką jego talentu i nie ma dnia bez Dimasha.Cieszę się,że jest już zauważalny nie tylko w Azji i Europie,ale i w Stanach Zjednoczonych,gdzie koncertował w N.Yorku.Dimash śpiewaj i ciesz nasze serca spragnione piękna. Donata-Poland
Hi Julia, you are absolutely right, this is his best performance, I LOVE IT TOO. THANK YOU for your wonderfull réaction. 😊❤❤❤
This... I don't even want to put words to it. This piece was flight. It was throwing off the facades and falsehoods that we as societies mire ourselves in daily. It was an unchaining of spirit.
It was glorious.
This is my favourite Dimash performance~!! Too. WOW
Mine is his performance of SOS when he pays tribute to his friend and he is singing in that sphere thing over the stage. Very beautiful tribute as well
@@LordInfamous69x SOS was the first song I have heard, it's my favorite too
The erhu-like instrument is called Cobyz, and yes the combination of cobyz and rainstick only is enough to feel you peaceful yet restless, and you can feel that you are outside in the wilds when you close your eyes. If you react to his newest song and music video called "Qairan Elim", you will find the cobyz instrument and the instrument player again there. Please react to it, it's epic and jawdropping in a different way like you never seen before.
Thanks for the reaction Julia, so glad you come back to Dimash. Cheers!! 😊
sounds awesome :)
Salamualaikum Julia thank you so much for your very educational interesting reaction of dear dimash music whio conquered the whole world hearts and soul.. thank you.
Korkyt Ata and the Cobyz instrument are indivisible words and can't be not associated with each other. Hear out Korkyt Ata's pieces which he performed back in 8-9 centuries on Kobyz. Legends say he is the one who created this instrument. And don't forget to read the legend of Korkyt Ata, it's astonishing...
DIMASH has the greatest singer of all time
Умница!Всё услышала,поняла, рядом с Димашем находятся и реагирует на него действительно одарённые и особенные люди включая эту девушку. Спасибо!
DIMASH: ALWAYS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
Excellent review. Thank you.
До мурашек исполнение,
This by far is my favourite Dimash's song. There's no high notes but the song really wrenches the heart. You can feel the elements of the outside and the waves of emotions from the inside of his body. Beautiful.
I love dimash and your reactions love you sister
dimash is the most emotional most connected singer i have ever listened to. the g.o.a.t, of music so far, not afraid to take on anything and so many languages to choose from lol
This may be my favorite Dimash performance as well. There are no theatrics, or gimmicks. It is just beautifully sang, and from the heart.
ДИМАШ он один в мире,уважаю многих,но Димаш он один!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Рахмет Сызге реакциянызга Димашжан АЛГА Жарайсын Казахстан Алматы....
Slm Julia, this song where lyricism reaches its peak is truly amazing. Dimash is incredible. He immerses everyone who closes his eyes into this energy that surrounds himself. I understand you very much, I have listened to this piece many times, it took me to another dimension. Thank you for your reactions to this song. I'm looking forward to your new videos.
One reactor said, he grabs your soul and takes it wherever he wants it to be for that song.
By the way, who is doing all that gorgeous arrangements for him? He should be more appreciated!
wbrenne Probably his friend Erlan Bevkchuri, who helps Dimash with his musical arrangements. Yes, he should be more appreciated! But Dimash said in an interview that he conceives the direction he wants the piece to go and then Erlan makes the arrangement to support this creative direction. I’m sure Dimash also has significant input since he is a composer!
@@maisiet8929 Hi ... I agree with both of my friends, I think they both deserve to be praised separately, but the last person to sing the soul of a Song determines it. If you make the best and the most spirited song in the world, if the person who sings it cannot give its right, the song will not pass to man. but dimash so is the perfect singer.
Dimash is without question the most gifted vocalist I've ever heard, and I've been around many decades. We love him as much for his humility, generosity, love of family and love of country as we do for his skill, talent, stage presence, poise, ability to touch our emotions, dedication, discipline, (I could go on and on!) He's remarkable.
If you like stripped back songs check Marigolds, singing to his mom, very touching and beautiful
Perfect suggestion.
Джулия,не знаю какое время суток у вас. Но желаю ВАМ,здоровья и всех благ,которые есть в этом мире! Вы без субтитров,почувствали эту композицию Димаша.думаю у вас где то в далёком есть предки которые посещали наши края.
BRAZIL - Wonderful reaction, SAMALTAU is magnificent. It's the KAZAK magic, the language, the SOUND OF KOBYZ, SYBYZGY, the lyrics, when Dimash sings in Kazakh it's simply magical, the emotion comes out even more. YOU NEED TO REACT TO THE WONDERFUL MUSIC AMANAT, I love this song too.
Сидит Димаш по-казахски. Инструменты, если внимательно слушать, передают звуки казахской степи. Вначале волки, которых отгоняют от аула собаки, потом звуки повозки, перелетных гусей и журавлей, звук ветра и журчание небольшойй речки, а поет сам Димаш так, как обычно бывает, что хочется петь (или орать, если не умеешь петь), если выехать в бескрайнюю степь, особенно весной, когда цветут тюльпаны и пахнет молодой полынью и нагретой землей...
Разрешите поставить перевод вашего комментария, спасибо:
Dimash sits in Kazakh. The instruments, if you listen carefully, convey the sounds of the Kazakh steppe. First, the wolves, which are chased away from the aul by the dogs, then the sounds of a cart, migratory geese and cranes, the sound of the wind and the murmur of a small river, and Dimash himself sings as it usually happens that he wants to sing (or yell if you can't sing) if you leave to the endless steppe, especially in spring, when tulips bloom and smells of young wormwood and hot earth ...
Спасибо...и спасибо👆👍
Так и есть, если подходить предметно. Но я когда первый раз услышал эту песню (я бы даже сказал, балладу), то в итоге ощутил нечто потустороннее, словно увидел сквозь время, как над горами и степью летит орел, а внизу течет жизнь... года, десятилетия, столетия, как проходит история народа, где есть печаль, радость, мирная жизнь, смерть.
Видимо, так и должно быть у настоящих, действительно талантливых произведений, когда каждый видит в них что-то свое, но обязательно видит, а не просто слушает.
Базар жоқ жаздың бауырым!!👍👍👍💪💯🇰🇿
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
Beautiful reaction!! All his Kazakh songs are just as beautiful!! This song is about a young man going to war & having to leave his aging parents. Stay safe👏👏 💖💖
👏👏👏💕💕💕 Pure beauty! Floating in the steppes ... 💕💕💕
this was like a soul deep spiritual experience and I'm not at all religious. But his face, the instrument and vocal blend was transcendent!
Hi from South Africa. I just love when he sings in his native tongue. Like Daidiau as well.
all his Kazakh are this wonderful. His kazakh music hands down any day, every day.
Julia,I LOVE YOU!!!!!! Делай больше реакций на Димаша,ты лучшая!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this song so much. It is incredibly evocative of the animals in the stepps, with the vaulted sky above. The wind blowing as the singer trudges disconsolately away from all that he knows this a war that is not his. He leaves behind his family, and home. He pulls my heart from my soul. I am torn apart. Grief overwhelmes me.
Julia happy to see you again with the Best singer in the world DIMASH we missed you here in FRANCE, please react again with Dimash english songs... We still waiting for you.Big kiss from PARIS.
Excellent. You made me discover what now is my favourite Dimash's performance, too. it was really breathtaking; to say that it's been like feeling of being "submerged" is truly on point.
Through your commentary and your soulful reaction this song really got me, I need to praise your way of being true to the camera. I strongly felt it.
Don't ever stop doing this, I feel like you're very capable to convey the "true soul" of the songs you react to. Hugs from Italy, and keep it up 😌
He is Kazakh; traditional music from the Silk Road region often incorporates the sounds and feels of the grand outdoors, horses, and the timelessness.
you asked "Why am I on horseback?" (the feeling) - I felt the same way. The instrument Kobyz is ancient and sacred, originally used by Shamans, treated reverently by this amazing musician who brings forth the imagery: wolves, water, horses, crying...
There's another performance of this in front of a large audience, where the musical intro is quite long, and you can hear more of those nature sounds. And, his newest MV 'Qairan Elim' features the instrument (and the same musician - Olzhas Qurmanbek).
Respectly, The "kobyz" is neither shamanic nor belongs of darkness. Shamans playing a special drum. ( blog.newcropshop.com/inspiration-siberian-shaman-drums/) The term “shaman” originates in Siberia. It describes a person who possesses the ability to perform soul journeys. Thereby he or she serves as a mediator between the tribe and the spirit world. However, all shamans are not belong "good side"... Dark shamans invoke the evil spirits.
The kobyz was Korkut Ata's instrument. Korkut Ata (Dede Korkut, Korkyt Ata), who played kobyz, composed musical pieces, had a super human wisdom, foresaw future, doctor recovering the sick, and was a "kam", is believed to have lived near Sırderya river. Korkut Ata is accepted as the father of Turkic music, creator of "Küy" and a legendary hero in Kazakhstan and all Turkic countries.
Wise women and men has used to play kobyz (since BC. 3000 ). The other people may also played it. It is not forbidden but hard. Wise people are called "Baksı" or "Kam" in old Turkic culture. They worship "Tengri" (means "God"). They are the good ones. the Kobyz (Kazakh: қобыз) or kyl-kobyz is an ancient Turkic, Kazakh string instrument Kobyz imitates nature: rivers, winds, trees, wolves, eagles, etc. 🐺
🌙Antic Epics said that, "when the kobyz is played, the demons run away". When the kobyz is played, people chills, because evilness go away. 🌙

@@lilatomrissoze6237 respectfully, the description of shamanism as a concept is not confined to Siberia, as you know, and shamanism is not (all) darkness. Also:
kazakh-tv.kz/en/programms/viewArchive?id=25368
@@CarlaHolley Exactly Shamanism is not (all) darkness but there are dark shamans. "Kams" and "Baksıs" completely belong Tengri (God). They are all good humans like "Korkyt Ata". This video like a "cultural soup". Narrator said "Baksı played Kobyz" and than "in shamanic ritual".
In the animistic society everything was considered having life and embody a soul. A general trait which can be detected in native societies throughout the world is the concept of and alter reality divided into three worlds:
The Lowerworld, where the shaman sought power, power objects, and power animals. The Middleworld which was where humans lived perceived through a shamanic state of mind. The Upperworld where the shaman could seek wisdom and visions concerning past, presence, and future. Thereby she or he serves as a mediator between the human and the spirit world. Wise people are called "Baksı" or "Kam" in old Turkic culture. They worship "Tengri" (means "God"). They are the good ones.
However, all shamans are not belong "good side"... Dark shamans invoke the evil spirits. İf a dark shaman played kobyz, he/she will definitily lost his/her "assistant" dark spirit. Sometimes, although rare, weak or inexperienced shamans cannot keep the evils under control. Dark spirits can be haunted in shaman stuffs. Who knows?
This video's source Alexander Efimovich Alektorov (1861-1918), was a panslavism missionaire. He even denied Kazakh Language. This is about "Index of books, magazine and newspaper articles and notes on the Kirghiz", 2013 [1]. Here, its important to note that under the ethnonym "Kirghiz" in the studies of Russian scientists before the beginning of the twentieth century, both modern ethnic Kazakhs and ethnic Kyrgyz were implied. Modern linguists investigating Kazakh-Russian bilingualism, practically do not turn to this fundamental work. He said: "Kazaks and Kirghiz" are same. I am not suprised to "Shamans and Baksıs same". Although it hardly matters, all orientalists's worst thinking is "all Orienté is same". Not true at all. Merely assumptions.
And, what a populer video who watched 31 people in RUclips!

You know, as much as I love Nightwish and idolyze and admire each member of the band, Dimash is just on a level on its own, where no mortal can even come close. I mean, just look at our boy chilling with his feet under his butt, being like:'What leg support? Who even needs that...'
Julia really enjoy your reactions to Dimash he is unreal maybe an Alien? Another Dimash you should do is "Ogni Pietra" a full Opera piece writen for him. Another out of this world voice is one from here in the USA she has been singing for a few years now but you should do a reaction to her "Lovers" from "The House of Flying Daggers" at her 2011 PBS concert also "Nessun Dorma" from same and also do her 2013 cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" in Las Vegas "One Drop" special.
DIMASH SO MAGIC. WONDERFUL.
When i listen this musical i felt myself out of the world * i come backup on the past ***i love this musical and his incredible voice.thanks.
Thank you for your reaction and analysis! Indeed, Samaltau is one of my favorite Dimash's songs as well. You might want to check out for your own entertainment his performance on the Silk Road 2019 Film Festival. It's pretty similar, but the stage setup is simply amazing, trying to simulate the Kazakh steppes. Although his performance is very similar, I think it's even more majestic!!
I would also like to recommend "Ogni Pietra" (aka Olympico) for your next taste of Dimash. This is a pop/rock aria written for Dimash by Igor Krutoy, and you can enjoy Dimash going full classical singing from an impressive baritone, to a fantastic tenor tone, to a high soprano. It's super impressive, one his best moments, in my opinion. A legendary song.
This song is about a young Kazakh man who was recruited by force as a soldier to the Russian army to fight in the World War One... so he is walking along a night steppes worrying about his old parents since he is only one son of them...
This was recorded in a home studio because of quarantine...
wow! cool to know!
@@jvoxfox Julia, that's a lie. Kazakhs, among some ethnic groups in the Russian Empire, were not subject to mobilization in the active army and did not participate in combat operations. On June 25, 1916, Emperor Nicholas II issued the Highest order to attract a certain number of men from these peoples to work on the construction of defensive structures. Moreover, they were paid good money for these works. But as a result, an uprising broke out on the territory of present-day Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan under the banner of Gazavat (war against infidels). The brutal gangs attacked the peaceful Russian population (men fought on the fronts of the World War One). Thousands of Russian women, children and old people were mercilessly killed. The uprising was brutally suppressed. It saddens me that a talent of such magnitude as the Dimash, helps the distribution of ahistorical myths.

@@muratomar6502 Nope. Text of the Highest Command (reprint) + Report of the Turkestan Governor-General and commander of the Turkestan military district Kuropatkin to His Imperial Majesty Nicholas II, February 1917.
@@kirillr8166 Don't get me wrong but how can someone, like me, be sure that the order it's not a fabricated lie meant to cover something else?
Julia shows what an insightful music reaction can be...so much more than "OMG, that is so cool". When we learn how to listen to the nuances in music, it becomes much more rewarding.
The sounds that man makes with only 2 strings is amazing....
Thanks for your reaction! The instrument is called "Kobyz". This is an ancient instrument of the Kazakh people. The sound of the wind is the sound of the great steppe, imitation of the mooing of a cow, the barking of a dog, the howl of a wolf, the crowing of cranes and other sounds of nature, this is all kobyz.
The song of a young guy whom the authorities called to the First World War leaves his native place.
Hey Julia, Kerry here from Washington St USA, ADear since 2017 and your spot on this is one of my favorites too and for me please pardon but when Di sings its truley an eargazm not trying to be crude but it describes it totally and I believe that Di truly is sent from the heavens THERES NO ONE THAT CAN TOUCH HIM NO ONE ! Ilove your reactions keep it up take care. KERRY😊
Hi is the beeest vocalist.Salut from Bulgaria.
The music and the performance forces you to meditate, as this song takes you to a remote place, as if you are in the bosom of nature
I always love Dimash sings in his own Kazakh song, this is one of them, I think I dig all his songs already, and I watch him everyday, he can sing Chinese song so well, I never run out to watch Dimash perform, so talented, thanks.
Performances like Know, love of tired swans, your love or across endless dimensions could be interesting. Plus they have subtitles. For emotional songs you can check out love is like a dream, autumn strong or daybreak. Autumn strong and daybreak has a story behind it. Incase you listen to that. React to the video of gloria wu where she explains the story aswell😋👍🏼
nice comments on the piece, I like your dimash reaction videos.
Definitely those instruments take me into an ancestral soulful/wild/natural deep dive... love it, though the story behind it is very sorrowful
My favorite, too. You are amazing as an interpreter. Amazing.
The next logical piece to watch now would be Qairan Elim, his latest music video. It features the same Kobyz player (the string instrument), is filmed outside directed by Dimash, and carries a deep message through powerful and symbolic images and music. I haven't seen anyone who is not deeply moved by that masterpiece of synthesis of the arts.
Я очень рад,за ваши реакций.
Dear Julia, the instrument has 2 spellings. In Kazakhstan it is Qobyz and here it is Kobyz. Thank you for getting back to Dimash but I hope your next reaction to him is more frequent as ha has so many things you haven't reacted to and he does so many things that shock or surprise. He even released the first video he co directed August 9th that is a kazakh prayer about his Homeland but he wants it to apply to everybody's Homeland and specifically to the world at this time with everything going on. It is titled Qairan Elim & it has subtitles for most of the song so be sure to turn them on. 🎶👱♀️👗👠👠💓
dimash is meditation superb voice
really nice reaction, i would like to only say...i am no singer or vocal coach, but I can play it 5x - 6x per day and it won´t be enough...for me is it masterpiece, i watched Dimash lot of time and propably most of his performances, which you can found on internet and this one is for my most touching performance,..mayby as Daybreak on concert, which is amazing too. Keep doing, greetings from Czech
BEAUTIFUL!!! Greetings from Chile
It would be so amazing that this type of music would be more present. It's sad that many people will never hear and experience this totally different music.
Wow, this has a mystical, ritualistic vibe about it, like epic religious music. I'm also reminded of Vangelis circa 1982. This guy is amazing. Always appreciate your musical insights Julia. Cheers.
Thank you! Starting my day with that video. This will be a good day!
Thank you Julia! I very much did enjoy! Maybe not as technically showy as many of his other performances, but it was so engaging and mesmerizing!!!!
...and those traditional instruments. just delightful!!!
"really good vocalist" is an understatement for Dimash.
Ur reacts ur Comments about the music the way u explane and feel all with ur heart.. U are so beautiful.. ♥️
Love this, the imagery it evokes is stunning. The instrument is a kobyz and is used beautifully in his latest song Qairan Elim which is on his channel 🤗🇬🇧 I also think you would like Ascolta la Voce vocalise (no lyrics) from his Kiev concert March 2020, again on his channel (hope you’ll react to this one 🙏😊)
Great reaction Julia, I'm with you on this. Stunning performance. I think you will enjoy his latest release Qairan Elim which to my mind is so relavent in today's world. Dimash knows no limits. His music is his art.. Thank you from New Zealand
Hello Julia! This instruments is called Cobyz traditions my county Kazahstana he is sounds nature and animals! Yes this instrumenst very intrestings he is like!)

@@jvoxfox By the way, there is still one instruments or this innstruments Dimash show new clip - Qairan Elim. He is Directos it is clips he is filmed clip and here is planing Cobyz in cilp will!
@@jvoxfox Please! If you want to know ask me! I will say!
I love this guy! He sings in several languages too. Wow rolling r's and singing as well. His control is amazing. He has been singing and playing the piano since he was 5. His mother is a soprano singer. I think he could make Pig Latin sound good.
His most heartfelt performance by far!
If u want to hear a similar song, listen to his new song „Qairan Elim“.
If you want to see him do crazy arabic runs check out his version ih the song „hello“ :)
Thanks for your reaction. I Listen to samaltau everyday. I love the song from him❤️
thank you for reacting to Samaltau, it is honestly one of most impactful for me Dimash performances. i dont know why if feels it is not more popular out there
TY for introducing me to this performance. Ive seen it before but always passed on it, never knew it was such a sleeper hit. Just became one of my favs too.
Thank you !!! 🍀🌿 Dimash unikum 🎶🎤🌏🌎 Great reaction !!! 👍 👍👍
Fantastic performance, great reaction. Thank you from the Marshall Islands.
I stopped listening to anything new after High School so two decades of either enjoying the classics i loved or mindless driving with the billboard top 100 radio station. I heard Morissette sing, which lead me on a path to Dimash and many more vocalists like So Hyang, KZ Tandingan. Not understanding why i liked them besides because the songs sounded good, you explained the mechanics and i just appreciate vocalists more than i have ever. Even the music i have always liked i enjoy even more. Through the little understanding i got from you and your peers. Thank you for contributing to the return of music to my life.
