The Prayer for humanity, his homeland and our earth ... a masterpiece. We live in dark times. Lots of wars, hunger, suffering, pandemics. (Dimash lost 2 of his mentors by covid19) ... The bleeding Kobyz-player and the pianist (composer) are victims in this dark time. Dimash is the burning soul of a musician and he burns for us humans ... and there is hope. When humanity overcomes the rocks together, the sun rises and everything shines in bright colors. A new day is dawning ... a new beginning. Greetings from a Dear from Germany
You are the first reactor who grasped the political subtone. In general your observations were on point. The narrator at the beginning was Yisbek Abilmazhinov a famous Kazakh actor. You already got all the informations and the link to Dimashnews so I just say thank you for your great and heartfelt reaction.
Beautiful reaction and a deep understanding of what Dimash's message is to both his country and to the world. Yes, it is sad to see what is going on in the world, but as you yourself realised at the end, it is also a message of hope that I'm sure we all feel, we will come out on the other side. Thank you.
Another proof that he doesn't need extreme low and high notes to create art. His voice is stunning, as well as the video. The green at the end certainly indicates hope, it's paired with the last chord which switches from minor (usually used for sentimental and sad music) to major. It is about the history of Kazakhstan, as you can see, but about its present and the world's present as well. There are so many elements that can be discussed, the video is open to interpretation, just like they intended (there's an interview with the other director discussing this), especially considering his culturally varied audience. A similar performance is Samaltau (Tokyo Jazz Festival version). Traditional folk song, reinterpreted by Dimash live in an intimate setting, a soldier's lamentation for being forced to leave his lands, you can search the lyrics prior, as you find them only on a previous performance of the song. Thank you for the reaction. I wasn't expecting anything less of your appreciation of it.
Dimas Ali is his production company. The bird is an eagle, national symbol of Kazahstan. The instrument is called Kobyz- a kazakh traditional instrument.
@@lukashasselNY According to the kazakh tradition,when the dombra plays(the sacred kazakh instrument) the wolf falls asleep.The 2 stringed instrument from this video is not dombra,though,it is called kobyz,and is regarded as the soul of the kazakh people,along with the dombra.In interviews Dimash has said there is s dombra in every home and any kazakh knows how to play it,it's a matter of national pride, honour and respect.They worship these old national instruments,they are a kind of bond with the past of their country,their ancestors,their troubled history.
@@silviastanescu9312 Very interesting comment. When people of a nation are without a country to name their own, all cultural traditions, oral history etc...become very important for one's survival and they also act as a remembrance for common struggles. On an aside note, Dimash was basically born at the same time of Kazakstan"s independence .
Всегда интересно слушать ваши комментарии. Вы как профессионал замечаете все. Димаш повзрослел, стал настоящим мастером. И этот клип лучшее тому доказательство.
Неожиданно пришла Ваша реакция на эту песню! И как всегда Вы всё заметили, и великолепные съёмки, и сказочную природу Казахстана и конечно все нюансы в исполнении Димаша! Это произведение, как мне кажеться, надо слушать несколько раз, и каждый раз что-то открывается новое! Спасибо за реакцию! Всегда жду Вас! Удачи!
@@ИринаРатегова Я скопировалa из одного комментария: "B начале видео слова: Великая степь… Я восхваляю твои богатые земли. Алтай и Атырау, Жайык и Или, Алатау и Сарыарка - какие просторы родной земли, ставшей свидетелем моих счастливых лет! Я восхваляю Великую Степь - золотую колыбель тюркского мира. Эй, безмолвный мир! Что же ты затаил дыхание? У тебя есть потомки, которые никогда не мешкали и не оставались в стороне во время бурных споров и противостояний. У этой земли есть хозяин - добрый характер и щедрую душу которого не смог испортить или сломить этот переменчивый мир со своими искаженными ценностями. Великую степь оберегает святой покровитель, неизвестный чужому, непонятный стороннему". Песня есть на канале Димаша, есть возможность включить русские субтитры. С наилучшими пожеланиями 💝
Ирина Ратегова Здравствуйте! О создании песни и съёмках видео: en.dimashnews.com/2020/08/09/a-new-video-qairan-elim-was-released-on-dimashs-channel/ Видео на 3-х языках: Каз., Рус, Англ.
This is Dimash's debut as a director 💜🤗💜 He is singing in Kazakh and all the scenery is in Almaty Kazakhstan. And the "crow" is a Golden Eagle - the National bird of Kazakhstan. 😊 This is his prayer for his Country and the world. He lost a couple mentors due to the pandemic and he is an incredibly old soul whose caring runs deep through him. He's mentioned many times of his concern of the state of the world currently. 💙💙 Here is an article explaining the MV. en.dimashnews.com/2020/08/09/a-new-video-qairan-elim-was-released-on-dimashs-channel/ Words at the beginning: The Great Steppe. I am speaking of the land which spreads across the four directions. I am speaking of the Altai mountains and the region of Atyrau, the rivers Zhaiyk and Ile, the Alatau mountain range and the Saryarka Uplands, about the finest vast lands of all time. I am speaking of the Great Steppe, the cradle of the Turkic realm, which gave rise to the nomads. O silent world, do not hold your breath inside! You have a generation who boldly withstood the struggle, A kind owner with a generous soul and a compassionate character, constant against the dark transgressions of a changing world. The Great Steppe has a guardian spirit, unknown to a stranger, incomprehensible to an outsider.
The independence of his country paid for in blood. May it remain free forever. 💙🙏🏽 “The song “Qairan Elim” is a message and a call to all people for good, positive thoughts. The belief that we will definitely overcome everything and cope with all ailments. The main thing is to believe in it and remain strong,” Renat Gaissin and Dimash commented.
This does have to do with covid but his country is going through a lot right now as well -not related to covid. I think there are layers of symbolism in this piece. As always thank you for another heartfelt reaction.
The song is called «Oh, my sacred land». Dimash sings in Kazakh. The song is dedicated not only to Dimash's homeland - Kazakhstan, but also to the entire planet Earth. Earth is the birthplace of all humanity. The ancient Kazakh instrument KOBYS has two strings and makes mystical sounds. When Dimash "burns" it means that his soul can "burn" for the sake of the Motherland. Blood runs, it means that you can shed blood for the Motherland. It's an allegory. Filming took place in Kazakhstan. This song is prayer! Prayer for our land, for the people, for our children: "The universe help humanity!". /// Before the song, the older narrator (but it's not Dimash's voice) speaks: «The Great Steppe! Ek loof jou genade lande. I praise your vast expanses from Altai to Atyrau, from Yayi to Ili, from Alatau to Saryarka. They are silent witnesses to my happy times. I praise the Great Steppe, the cradle of the mighty Turkic world. Hey, silent world! Don't be silent, holding your breath. There are descendants behind you. Nothing stopped them in times of severe litigation and contractions. The Great Steppe has generous masters who have not broken down or exhausted before the dodgy temper of the fickle world. Their hearts are magnanimous and the souls are noble. They have a patron, about whom no stranger and whom no stranger feels».
Wow.. Thank you so much for your explanation and translation! That is a lot of work! And, the words ' Ek loof jou genade land ' is.. Old Dutch! Or maybe it even is jet somewhat older and a mix between Frysian and sliding into Old Dutch. It is fascinated to see these words still are used, that makes me believe that the Nether region of the World must have had a wider spread in bringing then I ever thought it to be.. I thought I add this to your great comment, you cleared up the missing link and boy.. I wished I could read/speak this Language, I am very interested in these Languages and wished I knew a way to learn them at home, so not through schools.. that is money I can't effort anymore (no scholarships available) 😊
@@samalaimukhametova7290 Здравствуйте, Самал. Правда, что ли? Сам канал "Алга Петербург"? Я не слышала, но все равно приятно. Сами, наверное, знаете, что не возможно все пересмотреть и переслушать, как ни старайся. Нельзя объять необъятное - имею в виду море информации на Ютубе. Не зря, значит, многие часы посвящаю Димашу и его творчеству. Признаюсь, что я его очень сильно люблю как певца и как правильного, с моей точки зрения, человека.
@@asia394 ,извиняюсь,не канал "Алға Петербург",попутала.Просто последнее время частенько смотрю "Алга Петербург",вот попутала из-за этого.А так вы под этим видео ruclips.net/video/PitaYhKoge0/видео.html оставили комментарий. Запомнила вас из-за слов автора канала,вот удивилась увидев вас ещё тут
В начале видео слова: Великая степь… Я восхваляю твои богатые земли. Алтай и Атырау, Жайык и Или, Алатау и Сарыарка - какие просторы родной земли, ставшей свидетелем моих счастливых лет! Я восхваляю Великую Степь - золотую колыбель тюркского мира. Эй, безмолвный мир! Что же ты затаил дыхание?

Thank you for this translation. I am Australian and did not know what was being spoken. This is a beautiful video and clearly shows the love Dimash has for his country and the hope there is beyond hard times.
In the link there are information about the video. The intro says (credit to translator): The Great Steppe... I praise your rich lands. Altai and Atyrau, Zhaiyk and Ili, Alatau and Saryarka - what expanses of my native land that has witnessed my happy years! I am talking about the Great Steppe - the golden cradle of the Turkic world. Hey, silent world! Do not hold your breath! You have descendants who never hesitated and did not stand aside during fierce disputes and confrontations. This land has an owner - a kind character and generous soul of whom could not spoil or break this changeable world with its distorted values. The Great Steppe has a guardian spirit, unknown to a stranger, incomprehensible to an outsider. en.dimashnews.com/2020/08/09/a-new-video-qairan-elim-was-released-on-dimashs-channel/
Dimash showed his feelings for the past, present and future of his people. He also showed the nature of the beautiful of Kazakhstan. Here Dimash made his debut as a co-director of the video.
The song is a mixture of prayer and a message that should give hope. It's about the suffering in his country but also all over the world. It's also about the pandemic, it's about wars and I also believe that we are endangering nature, the country. The message goes to his compatriots, but also to the whole world. Dimash himself has recently lost two teachers who were extremely important to him. The composer of the basic melody watched the news and became more and more unhappy about what this melody aroused in him. Dimash heard the music and really wanted to sing it. This is how the project began. You have already recognized well what fire and such can mean. The dying pianist was a spontaneous idea, surely out of the pain, the lost lives. I think it's a message in which everyone can find something for themselves. That makes the song even better I think.
Ruth OnMyWay Musicians, performers, entertainers, instrumentalists : they all are heaving a very hard time to survive due to Covid. Concerts are not allowed and performances are restricted. Difficult times for a lot of artists...
@@gboete Of course, you are right. It is particularly difficult for artists at the moment. Many try to find ways out online. However, in the case of the video, I think it's more about something else. It's more about the directly life-threatening things like war and illness.
Ruth OnMyWay Of course, the main message is about life, the earth and environment, but a side effect of Covid is also problematic to many people, among others artists. In the long run, when people see no perspective, anything can happen....
It was very interesting to hear you thoughts and impressions without you having any previous knowledge about it. Must say you were pretty spot on with all of it.
Greetings from Hungary!It's a kind of prayer for the earth, the people in this situation, but at the same time symbolism, fire and blood,,, fire hardens, confirms. A lot of people have sadly lost this battle, including two very important people for Dimash, (symbolized by the blood and the pianist's fall).The last image, the contrast of the black rock, and behind the beautiful green landscape,,, our hope and futureDimash and his team made a beautiful video with a beautiful message!The video was directed by Dimash and Azamat DulatovThe instrument is an ancient Kazakh instrument called kobyz, the videos were recorded in Kazakhstan, in Almaty, near Dimash's home, as well as in the beautiful canyon Dimash really does not politicize in the traditional sense, but yes, we have spoken out against wars, protecting nature, protecting the future of children in Unicef, and not so long ago, covid-stricken domestic areas distributed tons of food
Лукас, сіздің Димаштың әндеріне жасаған реакцияларыңызды үзбей көремін, тек 20-30% ғана түсінсем де, эмоцияңыз сондай шынайы. Димашқа жиі реакция жасауыңызды өтінемін🙏⚘

Очень понравилась Ваша реакция... и на мой взгляд, Лукас, Вы все правильно поняли в этом произведении... спасибо!!! Позвольте предложить Вам сделать реакцию на эту песню ruclips.net/video/uFOqN6saP60/видео.html
Хоть мы и пишем на разных языках, но мы вместе. Мы понимаем, что наши души стремятся к последнему моажорному аккорду в этой песне. Поможем Димашу! Скажем 'нет' - темной силе!
Thank you for your reaction and I believe your thoughts on this song are correct like the other Dears have said below. Yes this is different but during the world confinement Dimash has been able to enter into another phase of his musical genius, co-directing a MV about his beloved Kazakhstan, we Dears have engouraged him to make an album of just Kazakh folk songs so we are all waiting with bated breath for this to happen 🙏👏👏
Thank you so much Lukas for yet another genuine reaction to Dimash. I’m happy to see how much you truly appreciate his talent and artistic work. “Qairan Elim” means “My Sacred Land” in Kazakh. This masterpiece of a song is Dimash’s prayer for peace for both his homeland and the world. It is hauntingly beautiful. Dimash’s magnificent voice paired with the superb cinematography made me choked up. Likewise, the soaring and majestic sound of the Kobyz/Qobyz (the traditional Kazakh string instrument) that pierces straight to one’s heart and soul, combined with the muted color of the landscape, added to the deep meaning of the song in such an emotional way. Dimash’s vision as a director is astounding, brilliant. He indeed made a “bold” statement as you pointed out. The MV is a masterpiece in its own right: every single frame/shot was magnificent with all the light and color contrasts, creating a beautiful dynamics on a visual standpoint. Furthermore, all the visual symbolisms that Dimash used in the video convey perfectly his powerful message. Thus, depending on your interpretation, the visual metaphors of the fire used in the video, namely Dimash and the piano in flame, can symbolize pain, sacrifice, purification, rebirth and resurrection; but also all the hardships and sufferings of his country and the world. And you’re right, the presence of color in the last shot signifies the hope and anticipation of a brighter future. The video was shot in the Almaty area (the Alatau mountains). The colors have been purposely muted to create the overall poignant and solemn atmosphere. Here’s the link to the article about the song, explaining precisely the inspiration and meaning behind it: (Dimash’s official website) en.dimashnews.com/2020/08/09/a-new-video-qairan-elim-was-released-on-dimashs-channel/ Dimash is currently working and collaborating on an all Kazakh album with the composer of “Qairan Elim”, Renat Gaissin (the pianist in the MV), as well as with other Kazakh musicians. I can’t wait for its release. P.S.: to everyone who reads this comment and appreciate Dimash’s artistic vision and work, please do not hesitate to subscribe to Dimash’s official RUclips channel ruclips.net/video/K45qdRAIWaM/видео.html ; also please leave a like and comment under his MV to show your love and appreciation. 🙏
Dimash is able to surprise with every performance. When you already think that here it is the limit, but no, it's not over yet. And so with each of his songs. And I can also recommend you Dimash Opera 2
*An amazing reading of this video was given by one of the many DEARS - ju1ietta* *May she forgive me for copying her words ... but I can't help but share ...* "The symbolism of this clip can be regarded by everyone in different ways, depending on his life experience and life views. I will talk about my own associations, which do not necessarily coincide with the author's intention. At the beginning of the video, the narrator introduces the audience to a historical excursion, showing scenes of the raids of the Mongol tribes on the Kazakh lands up to the 18th century. But this is a completely conditional war, which simply shows that historically the Kazakh people (like most other peoples) have gone through terrible times, full of blood and hardship. This is the prehistory. And then we see the history of the Artist (in the broadest sense of the word), as an element inextricably linked with the fate of his people. In my view, the Artist is a pianist, kobyz is a bleeding folk memory, the connection of eras and generations, the instrument played by the Artist (piano) is the life of the Artist standing on the waters of the Styx (Life is based on Death), and Dimash personifies the burning soul of the Artist ... The artist's life is inextricably linked with the fate of his people. A true Artist gives all of himself to the altar of Art, his soul burns out in this historical and creative flame. The artist, having given all of himself to his vocation, having exhausted his strength, quietly goes into the waters of the Styx (I don't know if the Kazakh epic has another name for the River of Death). But not his soul. The path of the Soul does not stop with the death of the mortal body. The incinerated, burnt Soul of the Artist continues to sing songs to its people, opening new horizons and pointing the way to the Light." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Потрясающее прочтение этого клипа дала одна из многочисленных DEARS - ju1ietta* *Да простит пусть она меня за копирование ее слов... но не могу не поделиться...* "Символизм этого клипа может расцениваться каждым по-разному в зависимости от его жизненного опыта и жизненных взглядов. Я расскажу о собственных ассоциациях, которые не обязательно совпадают с авторским замыслом. В начале клипа рассказчик вводит публику в исторический экскурс, показывая сцены набегов монгольских племён на казахские земли вплоть до 18-го века. Но это вполне условная война, которая просто показывает, что исторически казахский народ (как и большинство других народов) пережил страшные времена, полные крови и лишений. Это предистория. А далее мы видим историю Художника (в самом широком смысле слова), как элемент, неразрывно связанный с судьбой своего народа. В моём представлении Художник - это пианист, кобыз - это кровоточащая народная память, связь эпох и поколений, инструмент на котором играет Художник (пианино) - это жизнь Художника, стоящая на водах Стикса (Жизнь базируется на Смерти), а Димаш олицетворяет пылающую душу Художника. Жизнь Артиста неразрывно связана с судьбой его народа. Настоящий Артист всего себя отдаёт на алтарь Искусства, его душа сгорает в этом историческом и творческом пламени. Художник, отдав всего себя своему призванию, истощив свои силы, тихо уходит в воды Стикса (я не знаю, есть ли в казахском эпосе иное название Реки Смерти). Но не его душа. Путь Души не прекращается со смертью бренного тела. Испепелённая, обожженная Душа Художника продолжает петь песни своему народу, открывая новые горизонты и указывая дорогу к Свету."
I love it when a reactor gets the message & you are that with his songs. I’ve seen this MV many times & once again I got tears watching your reaction. Thank you!!
Here it is, Great MUSIC not for the body, but for the SOUL! Bravo to all the creators of this great video! Bravo DIMASH! Вот она - Великая МУЗЫКА не для тела, а для ДУШИ! Браво всем создателям этого Великого КЛИПА! Браво, ДИМАШ!!!
Dear Meghan, Seeing your comment about posting to the Fan Page, is there any way you could post another one to them all about Subscribing To His Channel ?? Please. He doesn't even have a million subscribers yet. Sorry I'm an old fart and just learned how to comment here !! It would be greatly appreciated, and Dimash totally deserves it. Thank you for listening and God Bless. 🙏🙏🙏🎼🎼🌟🌟🙏
@@nancygerritsen155 Oh, don't worry, the Dears on his fans pages are CONSTANTLY reminding people to subscribe to his channel. Right now they are also recruiting people to vote him as Sexiest Asian Man 2020 and trying to get him to be invited to a big American awards show lol. They are very loyal. But thanks for asking--I would if people didn't already remind each other constantly! xoxo
Nice to see you again with a new reaction to our lovely Dimash. He always put his soul in all his songs. Please react to his masterpiece "Ogni Pietra" from Arnau concert, this song has a positive message. Thank you and wish you all the best.
Lukas , Hermosa reacción , Dimash no olvida los origenes y el sufrimiento de su pueblo , al igual que del mundo entero , y que a pesar de todo ello , es posible un mundo mejor , siempre habrá un nuevo amanecer . Paz
He lost a dear ftiend, a musical mentor to Covid. But the world will rise from the ashes, like a Phenix. There is a new dawn coming. The song ended on a major accord as to signify there is no end...
Yay, my fave reactor of Dimash is back with a deep reaction, happy to see you got the message from this song :) can't wait to see you react to Ogni Pietra, Adagio, Hello and so much more :) take care and greetings from Chile!
According to Dimash News "The melody of the song came to composer Renat Gaissin one early July morning, in a recording studio, during a break between recordings, when he was leafing through the news feed. With each news read, the composer’s feelings became more and more unbearable - they, like reports from the war, were filled with information about the number of new people infected and died due to the coronavirus.And, as if in a sad background in my head, the musical theme began to sound more and more clearly… Putting the phone down, Renat went up to his musical instrument and began to play a melody that suddenly, like a flash, came to his mind. A few minutes later Dimash approached Renat and asked him to play it again."
The first part of this video is from a movie...can't remember its name, but I believe it is a story of Kazakhstan throughout the ages. The part where Dimash enters at director is when he starts to sing. The guy playing the piano is the songwriter of this song. When he falls dying into the water, Dimash is paying homage to two of his music teachers/mentors that passed away a short while ago from Covid-19. This song is both for the love of his country and for the world. The last few frames, going from B/W to colour represents hope. Love the song, filming and your reaction :) Hugs from Norway :)
@@lukashasselNY the movie clips shown at the intro are from the film "Tomiris." From wiki: "Tomiris is a 2019 Kazakhstani feature film directed by Akan Sataev, which tells the story about the queen of the Massagetae Tomyris and the king of Persia Cyrus the Great."
Dimash Ali is their own recording company as far as I know I found in this video you see his heart and his compassion not only for Kazakhstan but for all people of the world he wants peace as we all do loved it
Thank you, Lukas, I waited for your reaction to this amazing and painful piece of art! I knew that you can see the beauty in this almost monochromatic masterpiece. But there is a glimmer of hope at the end, there is sunshine and there are green meadows waiting for us, if we can overcome the difficult times. Dimash prays for all of us, not only for his country, but for all mankind. Thank you again!
Love your reactions very much! Though they are very few! Please, react to Samaltau by Dimash! You will see the same Kazakh national instrument which is Kobyz. And the same LOVE to his motherland!
Not a crow but a Kazakh golden Eagle, their national bird and its on the Kazach Flag 🇰🇿, the title translates to Oh My Holy Land. The instrument is a Kazakh Kobyz a 2 stringed (horsehair) lyre with a 5,000 year old history. Its a stunning song that ends on a major chord and the return of colour which gives hope for us all with this prayer for not just his homeland but for the world. Dimash is the most humble man, this is from his heart, he just lost two of his beloved teachers from covid-19 and it broke his heart. His country that he loves has had such a turbulent and tragic past so that is taken into account here too, especially the start of the video. Dimash is very pro peace anti war and never afraid to have his say, but this has nothing to do with politics. He is preparing another video with a new song also a new album of just Kazakh songs, he asked us dears if it would be something we would like and as his Kazakh songs are always so beautiful of course we said yes. Can't wait 🌹🌷🌹
Beautiful MV, beautiful song and beautiful reaction. Thanks 💙. Please comment on your next Dimash reaction what you are going to find out about this movie. For me, it is symbolizing struggling and sacrifices we have to make to have a brighter future.
I love your very strong perception of this performance.Indeed every word you put on each section you try to analyse is truly heartfelt. The pain in his voice is so heartbreaking, and I myself thinking what is going on in the world made me shed tears. At the end of the song comes the beauty of scenery that denotes hope and cure.Dimash has given us an illustration of probability and truth that penetrated our heart and soul in a very simple but so transparent in a way. Thank you for giving us beautiful analysis of this Dimash’s masterpiece being proficient yourself in the field of cinematography.
Lucas, thank you for being such a soulful person. Your reaction have touched me as much as Dimash's wonderful work. You are the best reactor I've seen so far. Enjoyed watching and reliving every note with you. I believe you right, Dimash gives us hope by praying for all of us. The last accord was in major. Thank you for Dimash, Thank you for You. To fully appreciate Dimash lower range, please, react to Olimpico. THANK YOU!
Thanks Lukas for this reaction ... I knew it would move you! This is an epic masterpiece from Dimash and a stunning directorial debut. The most profound line in the lyrics is 'What is tempered cannot be broken', and Dimash looks straight to camera intently when he sings it ... this is the hope he wants to connect us to! Di survives the burning, the tempering, honouring history's sacrifice ... strengthened to meet the new dawn, the new hope. It is a heartfelt prayer not only for his homeland but for the world. In an interview it has been said that Di & his team were moved by the news of covid deaths to bring this song and ultimately bring hope to the listeners. I agree Lukas ... this was Di's heart and soul on full display ... vulnerable, yet strong as iron. A breathtaking piece by all accounts! ♥️
I heard an interview re this movie and the part where the pianist falls off the bench into the water. This was not planned until that exact minute,,both Dimash and the other director said "fall" at the same time. It seems this song means something different to everyone. We see a very mature Dimash here. I believe that was an eagle not a crow...an eagle is the bird of his country
Fantastic and thoughtful reaction done with class and understanding. Been following Dimash well over a year now and have been constantly surprised, and a keen admirer not only of his voice but him as a decent and humble human being.
Спасибо,Лукас за реакцию! Димаш проделал, действительно серьезную работу с глубоким смыслом,это песня- молитва не только за Казахстан ,но за весь мир!Присоединяюсь, к этой молитве!!! Димаш взрослеет и проявляются новые грани его талантов и это радует и восхищает!
Thank you, Lukas, for reacting to this music video from Dimash. Kazakhstan was the world's first country to implement a second nationwide lockdown. It was during nationwide lockdown that Dimash created this new song and the video. He assembled some of his country's most talented composers, songwriters, traditional instrumentalists, filmmakers, and made his directorial debut. So much work went into this. He did it all at his own expense, and then he gave it away for free. Dimash uploaded this MV to his youtube channel with freely shareable viewing. Who does that?
Lukas, es ist schön all die Gefühle in Deinem Gesicht zu lesen, denn Du hast die innere Größe diesen Song intuitiv zu verstehen. Es ist ein wundervolles Lied und das Musikvideo ist ein Hammer. Was kann Dimash eigentlich nicht ?
I am stunned by this video, where Dimash sets aside all the personal "bells and whistles" of his vocals to offer this deep, compassionate prayer for his land, his people, the world. Interesting that you mentioned politics. His country has a bloody history with Russia's colonization, yet I have seen (via video, of course) his performance at the Kremlin, singing of love and commitment (The Love of Tired Swans). China is making headlines for their horrible mistreatment of some of his countrymen, yet he shows up, singing of love, joy, healing, celebration. Now, in his own country, he is making a very strong statement. His politics is so much higher in integrity and understanding than most of us could even hope to approach. We can learn so much from this shining soul. I hope listeners are visiting Dimash's page to subscribe, there, too. Here is the link: ruclips.net/channel/UCGBxbj_RMKB22rhJnK9qReg
It's a prayer. It's a cry from his soul. It's a prayer for the whole humanity to stop burn our homeland and our planet. We have to stop destroying all beauty around us, all art. We must stop burning ourselves. Dimash is a part of this beautiful art. And he is on fire. It's a SOS message for whole humanity. It's stunning. it's a cry of the soul.
It is an eagle-one of the national symbols of Kazakhstan. Also the wolf with its sorrowing expression-there is an old turkic legend that the wolf represents honor and is the mother of all their people. All part of the symbolism of this masterpiece. And yes, the switch of a warmer green landscape and the major chord at the end-hope. But I don't think the piece is political, per se-I think it is a prayer for the world and for an easing of the pain which is an omnipresent part of its past and that seems to be running so out of control at the moment-and a belief (or fervent hope) that there is a better time ahead of us.
I love your reaction to this touching and beautiful video very much, thank you ! It´s like a prayer for Kasakhstan and the whole world. I hope better days will come soon for all of us.
Lukas, you do such a wonderful job reacting to and analyzing music videos! It is clear that you are an experienced actor and director and that experience shows in your articulate and excellent reactions. Plus I love that you are so good at giving positive responses! You are a very sweet and sensitive person and it is very interesting watching your face when you react. Thanks so much for doing these reactions! I love them! More!
Thank you so much for your insightful commentary - i think we have all really been stunned by this amazing video - its surely fits well with they way many of us feel in todays world.
Hello. From Brazil. I was curious to know your opinion on this video. His emotion was visible and his comments described all the details with excellence. Thanks again for your sensitivity. It was impressive for me. I cried a lot even before I knew the content and had to watch it many times to completely absorb the message. It took me to a deep reflection. I was thinking about this video for several A plea for humanity to fight against the evil that destroys it and that only love and empathy can hope for a better future. We had extra information on Facebook groups: NARRATION: Iisbek Abilmazhinov "The Great Steppe. I praise its rich lands. Altai and Atyrau, Zhaiyk and Ili, Alatau and Saryayka: what extensions of my land have witnessed my happy years! I refer to the Great Steppe, the golden cradle of the Turkish world. Hey, silent world! Do not hold your breath You have descendants that never lasted and were never separated during fierce disputes and confrontations. This land has an owner, a gentle character and a generous soul that could not spoil or break this changing world with its distorted values. The Great Steppe has a guardian spirit, unknown to a stranger, incomprehensible to a stranger. " I copied a summary that was posted on the FaceBook about the creation of this clip and it's very interesting. In essence, the song “Qairan Elim” is like a prayer in which Dimash shares his personal experiences, his anxiety about the fate of his homeland and the whole world. The idea was largely influenced by the coronavirus epidemic, which hit mankind and claimed millions of lives worldwide. “The song“ Qairan Elim ”is a message and an appeal to all people for good and positive thoughts. The belief that we will surely overcome everything and face all diseases. The main thing is to believe and stay strong ”, commented Renat Gaissin and Dimash. The melody of the song reached composer Renat Gaissin on an early July morning, in a recording studio, during a break between recordings, while looking at the news feed. With each news read, the composer's feelings became more and more unbearable - they, like reports of the war, were filled with information about the number of new people infected and killed by the coronavirus. And, as if I had a sad history in my head, the musical theme started to sound clearer and clearer ... Removing the phone from his ears, Renat approached his musical instrument and started playing a melody that suddenly, like a flash, came to your mind. A few minutes later, Dimash approached Renat and asked him to play again. After hearing the melody from beginning to end, the interpreter, deeply impressed, said that he really wanted to sing it. The melody was shown to the sound producer, Yerlan Bekchurin, and he wrote an arrangement for it. From that moment, work on music began. “Since ancient times, Kobyz has been a sacred instrument that reflects people's souls. Renat Gaisin's song “Qairan Elim” was born during our visit to Almaty. In writing the song, we all try to understand the whole idea of the song. At the request of the author and Dimash, we started recording kobyz. I started to improvise on the instrument and at the end, during the recording, something really beautiful and magical came out. I was very impressed with the project. This is a great creative experience for me. I hope that all listeners like the music ”- said the kobyzista Olzhas Kurmanbek. The video was filmed in picturesque locations in the Almaty region. The directors were Dimash himself and cameraman Azamat Dulatov. Nellie Nurasheva was the stylist for the video, the clothes were provided by the famous Kazakhstani stylist Ainur Turisbek. Director: Dimash Kudaibergen & Azamat Dulatov Producer and Project Manager: Papa Kanat Aitbayev Music: Renat Gaissin
Excellent reaction and analysis! This is a masterpiece! There is currently no one like Dimash in the world. He is all about humanity, the arts, and love for his homeland. First, I turned away from the gruel images, but the thing with Dimash is that you cannort avert your gaze from him, he draws you into his world. Incredible charisma coupled with a heavenly voice! 💕🇫🇮
I appreciate your reaction! You may have done your research meanwhile. Just one of the many symbols: The string instrument in the video was forbidden during soviet time. It used to be an instrument used by shamans for trance healing. Forbidding it cut right down the soul of the people. The kazaks found a way of hiding it in a violin form and managed to still use it sometimes.... That’s just one of the many aspects in the video but I think it is central as it talks about repression!
It sure hits us hard and makes us think. For me it's a prayer for his country undoubtly, but it's also a prayer for all countries and above all to our holy land(home), Planet Earth. Loved your reaction, thank you and stay safe. Regards from Portugal 💞💞
Dimash's real name is Dinmukhamed, Dimash is the so-called home name that he was called from childhood. It later became his stage name. As for the prefix ALI to a name, this is widespread and traditional in the Muslim world. The stringed musical instrument is called kobyz - a traditional Kazakh ... Dimash is not a politician, but he is a PATRIOT of his country - in the highest sense of this concept. You saw and understood everything correctly. We all have our own associations and details may differ from one another, but the common symbolism is precisely about troubles and grief that affect any people and any country in harsh times, but there is always hope for the best, despite the losses ... Thank you very much for your reaction)))) I often watch your videos, always with pleasure)))
The Prayer for humanity, his homeland and our earth ... a masterpiece. We live in dark times. Lots of wars, hunger, suffering, pandemics. (Dimash lost 2 of his mentors by covid19) ... The bleeding Kobyz-player and the pianist (composer) are victims in this dark time. Dimash is the burning soul of a musician and he burns for us humans ... and there is hope. When humanity overcomes the rocks together, the sun rises and everything shines in bright colors. A new day is dawning ... a new beginning.
Greetings from a Dear from Germany
Beautifully said.
Absolutely, correct. ☝️👍
СПАСИБО ЗА РЕАКЦИЮ!СМОТРЮ ВАШИ РЕАКЦИИ НА НАШЕГО ГЕНИЯ ВОКАЛА ДИМАША! НУЖНЫ СУБТИТРЫ ПОЖАЛУЙСТА!
Thank you for your interpretation of this masterpiece...
@@shakeshake6188 на канале "ПЕРЕВОЖУ" много переводов реакций на Димаша, и на эту тоже есть.
You are the first reactor who grasped the political subtone. In general your observations were on point. The narrator at the beginning was Yisbek Abilmazhinov a famous Kazakh actor. You already got all the informations and the link to Dimashnews so I just say thank you for your great and heartfelt reaction.
Beautiful reaction and a deep understanding of what Dimash's message is to both his country and to the world. Yes, it is sad to see what is going on in the world, but as you yourself realised at the end, it is also a message of hope that I'm sure we all feel, we will come out on the other side. Thank you.
Another proof that he doesn't need extreme low and high notes to create art. His voice is stunning, as well as the video.
The green at the end certainly indicates hope, it's paired with the last chord which switches from minor (usually used for sentimental and sad music) to major.
It is about the history of Kazakhstan, as you can see, but about its present and the world's present as well. There are so many elements that can be discussed, the video is open to interpretation, just like they intended (there's an interview with the other director discussing this), especially considering his culturally varied audience.
A similar performance is Samaltau (Tokyo Jazz Festival version). Traditional folk song, reinterpreted by Dimash live in an intimate setting, a soldier's lamentation for being forced to leave his lands, you can search the lyrics prior, as you find them only on a previous performance of the song.
Thank you for the reaction. I wasn't expecting anything less of your appreciation of it.
Do you have a link for the interview with the other director?
@@dilekaslan5355 I think it was this one ruclips.net/video/PzNnC4GxCWg/видео.html
You are right: COVID, political uncertainty, history, are in this song.
Dimas Ali is his production company. The bird is an eagle, national symbol of Kazahstan. The instrument is called Kobyz- a kazakh traditional instrument.
Thx for info
@Lukas Hassel The company was formed by Dimash father and his friend and they named it after their sons, thus Dimash Ali.
@@lukashasselNY According to the kazakh tradition,when the dombra plays(the sacred kazakh instrument) the wolf falls asleep.The 2 stringed instrument from this video is not dombra,though,it is called kobyz,and is regarded as the soul of the kazakh people,along with the dombra.In interviews Dimash has said there is s dombra in every home and any kazakh knows how to play it,it's a matter of national pride, honour and respect.They worship these old national instruments,they are a kind of bond with the past of their country,their ancestors,their troubled history.
@@silviastanescu9312 Very interesting comment.
When people of a nation are without a country to name their own, all cultural traditions, oral history etc...become very important for one's survival and they also act as a remembrance for common struggles.
On an aside note, Dimash was basically born at the same time of Kazakstan"s independence .
Всегда интересно слушать ваши комментарии. Вы как профессионал замечаете все. Димаш повзрослел, стал настоящим мастером. И этот клип лучшее тому доказательство.
Неожиданно пришла Ваша реакция на эту песню! И как всегда Вы всё заметили, и великолепные съёмки, и сказочную природу Казахстана и конечно все нюансы в исполнении Димаша! Это произведение, как мне кажеться, надо слушать несколько раз, и каждый раз что-то открывается новое!
Спасибо за реакцию! Всегда жду Вас! Удачи!
А о чём эта песня? Прямо жутко...
Ирина Ратегова эта песня о родной земле, которая в данный момент проживает трудные времена
@@ИринаРатегова Я скопировалa из одного комментария: "B начале видео слова:
Великая степь… Я восхваляю твои богатые земли. Алтай и Атырау, Жайык и Или, Алатау и Сарыарка - какие просторы родной земли, ставшей свидетелем моих счастливых лет! Я восхваляю Великую Степь - золотую колыбель тюркского мира.
Эй, безмолвный мир! Что же ты затаил дыхание?
У тебя есть потомки, которые никогда не мешкали и не оставались в стороне во время бурных споров и противостояний. У этой земли есть хозяин - добрый характер и щедрую душу которого не смог испортить или сломить этот переменчивый мир со своими искаженными ценностями. Великую степь оберегает святой покровитель, неизвестный чужому, непонятный стороннему".

I firmly believe that Dimash is a gift to humanity!
This is Dimash's debut as a director 💜🤗💜 He is singing in Kazakh and all the scenery is in Almaty Kazakhstan. And the "crow" is a Golden Eagle - the National bird of Kazakhstan. 😊 This is his prayer for his Country and the world. He lost a couple mentors due to the pandemic and he is an incredibly old soul whose caring runs deep through him. He's mentioned many times of his concern of the state of the world currently. 💙💙
Here is an article explaining the MV. en.dimashnews.com/2020/08/09/a-new-video-qairan-elim-was-released-on-dimashs-channel/
Words at the beginning:
The Great Steppe.
I am speaking of the land which spreads across the four directions.
I am speaking of the Altai mountains and the region of Atyrau, the rivers Zhaiyk and Ile, the Alatau mountain range and the Saryarka Uplands, about the finest vast lands of all time.
I am speaking of the Great Steppe, the cradle of the Turkic realm, which gave rise to the nomads.
O silent world, do not hold your breath inside!
You have a generation who boldly withstood the struggle,
A kind owner with a generous soul and a compassionate character, constant against the dark transgressions of a changing world.
The Great Steppe has a guardian spirit, unknown to a stranger, incomprehensible to an outsider.
this applies more to our reality as a world today than a single country ... excellent message from dimash
Dimash is the best! Greetings from Eastern Europe,Bulgaria!🙂🇧🇬
The independence of his country paid for in blood. May it remain free forever. 💙🙏🏽 “The song “Qairan Elim” is a message and a call to all people for good, positive thoughts. The belief that we will definitely overcome everything and cope with all ailments. The main thing is to believe in it and remain strong,” Renat Gaissin and Dimash commented.
ЕСЛИ МОЖНО УДИВИТЬ ПРОФИ, ЗНАЧИТ РАБОТА УДАЛАСЬ......ВИВАТ ДИМАШ!
Спасибо, дорогой Лукас , за прекрасную реакцию!!!🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Лукас, спасибо за вашу прекрасную реакцию! Песня на разрыв души, прекрасная и грустная, полная боли и скорби, но с верой, что все будет хорошо! 🙏🙏🙏💕
This does have to do with covid but his country is going through a lot right now as well -not related to covid. I think there are layers of symbolism in this piece. As always thank you for another heartfelt reaction.
Если бы можно было, поставила 1000 👍👍👍за замечательную реакцию на нашего любимого Димашика.💋💖😍
Ооооо не зря не сплю в час ночи )) не зря 👌 наконец то ✊ Димаааааааш ❤❤❤
The song is called «Oh, my sacred land». Dimash sings in Kazakh. The song is dedicated not only to Dimash's homeland - Kazakhstan, but also to the entire planet Earth. Earth is the birthplace of all humanity. The ancient Kazakh instrument KOBYS has two strings and makes mystical sounds. When Dimash "burns" it means that his soul can "burn" for the sake of the Motherland. Blood runs, it means that you can shed blood for the Motherland. It's an allegory. Filming took place in Kazakhstan. This song is prayer! Prayer for our land, for the people, for our children: "The universe help humanity!". /// Before the song, the older narrator (but it's not Dimash's voice) speaks: «The Great Steppe! Ek loof jou genade lande. I praise your vast expanses from Altai to Atyrau, from Yayi to Ili, from Alatau to Saryarka. They are silent witnesses to my happy times. I praise the Great Steppe, the cradle of the mighty Turkic world. Hey, silent world! Don't be silent, holding your breath. There are descendants behind you. Nothing stopped them in times of severe litigation and contractions. The Great Steppe has generous masters who have not broken down or exhausted before the dodgy temper of the fickle world. Their hearts are magnanimous and the souls are noble. They have a patron, about whom no stranger and whom no stranger feels».
Thank you so much for the beautiful information :)
Wow.. Thank you so much for your explanation and translation! That is a lot of work!
And, the words ' Ek loof jou genade land ' is.. Old Dutch! Or maybe it even is jet somewhat older and a mix between Frysian and sliding into Old Dutch. It is fascinated to see these words still are used, that makes me believe that the Nether region of the World must have had a wider spread in bringing then I ever thought it to be..
I thought I add this to your great comment, you cleared up the missing link and boy.. I wished I could read/speak this Language, I am very interested in these Languages and wished I knew a way to learn them at home, so not through schools.. that is money I can't effort anymore (no scholarships available) 😊

Thank you for this translation. I am Australian and did not know what was being spoken. This is a beautiful video and clearly shows the love Dimash has for his country and the hope there is beyond hard times.
In the link there are information about the video. The intro says (credit to translator):
The Great Steppe... I praise your rich lands. Altai and Atyrau, Zhaiyk and Ili, Alatau and Saryarka - what expanses of my native land that has witnessed my happy years! I am talking about the Great Steppe - the golden cradle of the Turkic world. Hey, silent world! Do not hold your breath! You have descendants who never hesitated and did not stand aside during fierce disputes and confrontations. This land has an owner - a kind character and generous soul of whom could not spoil or break this changeable world with its distorted values.

Dimash showed his feelings for the past, present and future of his people. He also showed the nature of the beautiful of Kazakhstan. Here Dimash made his debut as a co-director of the video.
The song is a mixture of prayer and a message that should give hope. It's about the suffering in his country but also all over the world. It's also about the pandemic, it's about wars and I also believe that we are endangering nature, the country. The message goes to his compatriots, but also to the whole world.
Dimash himself has recently lost two teachers who were extremely important to him. The composer of the basic melody watched the news and became more and more unhappy about what this melody aroused in him. Dimash heard the music and really wanted to sing it. This is how the project began.
You have already recognized well what fire and such can mean. The dying pianist was a spontaneous idea, surely out of the pain, the lost lives.
I think it's a message in which everyone can find something for themselves. That makes the song even better I think.
Ruth OnMyWay Musicians, performers, entertainers, instrumentalists : they all are heaving a very hard time to survive due to Covid. Concerts are not allowed and performances are restricted. Difficult times for a lot of artists...
gboete I think, it’s not about economic hardships, it about people loosing their lives.
I have very similar meaning to this work...
@@gboete Of course, you are right. It is particularly difficult for artists at the moment. Many try to find ways out online.
However, in the case of the video, I think it's more about something else. It's more about the directly life-threatening things like war and illness.
Ruth OnMyWay Of course, the main message is about life, the earth and environment, but a side effect of Covid is also problematic to many people, among others artists. In the long run, when people see no perspective, anything can happen....
It was very interesting to hear you thoughts and impressions without you having any previous knowledge about it. Must say you were pretty spot on with all of it.
Greetings from Hungary!It's a kind of prayer for the earth, the people in this situation, but at the same time symbolism, fire and blood,,, fire hardens, confirms. A lot of people have sadly lost this battle, including two very important people for Dimash, (symbolized by the blood and the pianist's fall).The last image, the contrast of the black rock, and behind the beautiful green landscape,,, our hope and futureDimash and his team made a beautiful video with a beautiful message!The video was directed by Dimash and Azamat DulatovThe instrument is an ancient Kazakh instrument called kobyz, the videos were recorded in Kazakhstan, in Almaty, near Dimash's home, as well as in the beautiful canyon
Dimash really does not politicize in the traditional sense, but yes, we have spoken out against wars, protecting nature, protecting the future of children in Unicef, and not so long ago, covid-stricken domestic areas distributed tons of food
This song is pure love for your country, liryc is wonderful and Dimash is fantastic. I love him and thanks Lucas for reaction. Bye from Italy

Thank you for your reaction and I believe your thoughts on this song are correct like the other Dears have said below. Yes this is different but during the world confinement Dimash has been able to enter into another phase of his musical genius, co-directing a MV about his beloved Kazakhstan, we Dears have engouraged him to make an album of just Kazakh folk songs so we are all waiting with bated breath for this to happen 🙏👏👏
Thanks for reacting to Dimash. Greetings from Barcelona
Thank you so much Lukas for yet another genuine reaction to Dimash. I’m happy to see how much you truly appreciate his talent and artistic work.
“Qairan Elim” means “My Sacred Land” in Kazakh. This masterpiece of a song is Dimash’s prayer for peace for both his homeland and the world. It is hauntingly beautiful. Dimash’s magnificent voice paired with the superb cinematography made me choked up. Likewise, the soaring and majestic sound of the Kobyz/Qobyz (the traditional Kazakh string instrument) that pierces straight to one’s heart and soul, combined with the muted color of the landscape, added to the deep meaning of the song in such an emotional way. Dimash’s vision as a director is astounding, brilliant. He indeed made a “bold” statement as you pointed out.
The MV is a masterpiece in its own right: every single frame/shot was magnificent with all the light and color contrasts, creating a beautiful dynamics on a visual standpoint. Furthermore, all the visual symbolisms that Dimash used in the video convey perfectly his powerful message. Thus, depending on your interpretation, the visual metaphors of the fire used in the video, namely Dimash and the piano in flame, can symbolize pain, sacrifice, purification, rebirth and resurrection; but also all the hardships and sufferings of his country and the world. And you’re right, the presence of color in the last shot signifies the hope and anticipation of a brighter future.
The video was shot in the Almaty area (the Alatau mountains). The colors have been purposely muted to create the overall poignant and solemn atmosphere.
Here’s the link to the article about the song, explaining precisely the inspiration and meaning behind it: (Dimash’s official website)
en.dimashnews.com/2020/08/09/a-new-video-qairan-elim-was-released-on-dimashs-channel/
Dimash is currently working and collaborating on an all Kazakh album with the composer of “Qairan Elim”, Renat Gaissin (the pianist in the MV), as well as with other Kazakh musicians. I can’t wait for its release.
P.S.: to everyone who reads this comment and appreciate Dimash’s artistic vision and work, please do not hesitate to subscribe to Dimash’s official RUclips channel ruclips.net/video/K45qdRAIWaM/видео.html ; also please leave a like and comment under his MV to show your love and appreciation. 🙏

Hi Lukas, i was sooooooo waiting for your reaction to this video. I knew it would touch and move you. You are such a sensitive guy. Love you.... ❤
Dimash is able to surprise with every performance. When you already think that here it is the limit, but no, it's not over yet. And so with each of his songs. And I can also recommend you Dimash Opera 2
*An amazing reading of this video was given by one of the many DEARS - ju1ietta*
*May she forgive me for copying her words ... but I can't help but share ...*
"The symbolism of this clip can be regarded by everyone in different ways, depending on his life experience and life views. I will talk about my own associations, which do not necessarily coincide with the author's intention.
At the beginning of the video, the narrator introduces the audience to a historical excursion, showing scenes of the raids of the Mongol tribes on the Kazakh lands up to the 18th century. But this is a completely conditional war, which simply shows that historically the Kazakh people (like most other peoples) have gone through terrible times, full of blood and hardship. This is the prehistory. And then we see the history of the Artist (in the broadest sense of the word), as an element inextricably linked with the fate of his people. In my view, the Artist is a pianist, kobyz is a bleeding folk memory, the connection of eras and generations, the instrument played by the Artist (piano) is the life of the Artist standing on the waters of the Styx (Life is based on Death), and Dimash personifies the burning soul of the Artist ... The artist's life is inextricably linked with the fate of his people. A true Artist gives all of himself to the altar of Art, his soul burns out in this historical and creative flame. The artist, having given all of himself to his vocation, having exhausted his strength, quietly goes into the waters of the Styx (I don't know if the Kazakh epic has another name for the River of Death). But not his soul. The path of the Soul does not stop with the death of the mortal body. The incinerated, burnt Soul of the Artist continues to sing songs to its people, opening new horizons and pointing the way to the Light."

*Потрясающее прочтение этого клипа дала одна из многочисленных DEARS - ju1ietta*
*Да простит пусть она меня за копирование ее слов... но не могу не поделиться...*
"Символизм этого клипа может расцениваться каждым по-разному в зависимости от его жизненного опыта и жизненных взглядов. Я расскажу о собственных ассоциациях, которые не обязательно совпадают с авторским замыслом.
В начале клипа рассказчик вводит публику в исторический экскурс, показывая сцены набегов монгольских племён на казахские земли вплоть до 18-го века. Но это вполне условная война, которая просто показывает, что исторически казахский народ (как и большинство других народов) пережил страшные времена, полные крови и лишений. Это предистория. А далее мы видим историю Художника (в самом широком смысле слова), как элемент, неразрывно связанный с судьбой своего народа. В моём представлении Художник - это пианист, кобыз - это кровоточащая народная память, связь эпох и поколений, инструмент на котором играет Художник (пианино) - это жизнь Художника, стоящая на водах Стикса (Жизнь базируется на Смерти), а Димаш олицетворяет пылающую душу Художника. Жизнь Артиста неразрывно связана с судьбой его народа. Настоящий Артист всего себя отдаёт на алтарь Искусства, его душа сгорает в этом историческом и творческом пламени. Художник, отдав всего себя своему призванию, истощив свои силы, тихо уходит в воды Стикса (я не знаю, есть ли в казахском эпосе иное название Реки Смерти). Но не его душа. Путь Души не прекращается со смертью бренного тела. Испепелённая, обожженная Душа Художника продолжает петь песни своему народу, открывая новые горизонты и указывая дорогу к Свету."
Just perfect!!!!!! Oличное прочтение клипа!!!!!
Wow, thank you so much!!! I had also many ideas and meanings for the symbols.. but this is very interesting..
I love it when a reactor gets the message & you are that with his songs. I’ve seen this MV many times & once again I got tears watching your reaction. Thank you!!
You are amazing. Honest and sincere. Love from Portugal
Вот теперь я с вами в одной тарелке.Олинаково хорошо владеем фонотекой казахского языка.

Nice to see you again with a new reaction to our lovely Dimash. He always put his soul in all his songs. Please react to his masterpiece "Ogni Pietra" from Arnau concert, this song has a positive message. Thank you and wish you all the best.
Уважаемый Лукас, спасибо что оценили эту композицию! Димаш любит свою страну и рассказывает о нём. Самый преданный сын своего народа!

Beautiful comments and analysis to this emotional music video.
Очень ждала Вашу реакцию!
Вы - супер актер, супер реакционер!
ДИМАШ - это ЧУДО!
В нем все Прекрасно!!
Lukas , Hermosa reacción , Dimash no olvida los origenes y el sufrimiento de su pueblo , al igual que del mundo entero , y que a pesar de todo ello , es posible un mundo mejor , siempre habrá un nuevo amanecer . Paz
He lost a dear ftiend, a musical mentor to Covid. But the world will rise from the ashes, like a Phenix. There is a new dawn coming. The song ended on a major accord as to signify there is no end...
"He lost a dear ftiend, a musical mentor to Covid." - Do you know further details?

Yay, my fave reactor of Dimash is back with a deep reaction, happy to see you got the message from this song :) can't wait to see you react to Ogni Pietra, Adagio, Hello and so much more :) take care and greetings from Chile!
Thanks for your reactions its not only for Dimash beloved land but for the whole world, I really love the song,
According to Dimash News "The melody of the song came to composer Renat Gaissin one early July morning, in a recording studio, during a break between recordings, when he was leafing through the news feed. With each news read, the composer’s feelings became more and more unbearable - they, like reports from the war, were filled with information about the number of new people infected and died due to the coronavirus.And, as if in a sad background in my head, the musical theme began to sound more and more clearly… Putting the phone down, Renat went up to his musical instrument and began to play a melody that suddenly, like a flash, came to his mind. A few minutes later Dimash approached Renat and asked him to play it again."
Wow...😲 Thank u for the info... very interesting to know!
The first part of this video is from a movie...can't remember its name, but I believe it is a story of Kazakhstan throughout the ages. The part where Dimash enters at director is when he starts to sing. The guy playing the piano is the songwriter of this song. When he falls dying into the water, Dimash is paying homage to two of his music teachers/mentors that passed away a short while ago from Covid-19. This song is both for the love of his country and for the world. The last few frames, going from B/W to colour represents hope. Love the song, filming and your reaction :) Hugs from Norway :)
Ah, interesting. I was wondering about that. Thx for intel.
@@lukashasselNY the movie clips shown at the intro are from the film "Tomiris." From wiki: "Tomiris is a 2019 Kazakhstani feature film directed by Akan Sataev, which tells the story about the queen of the Massagetae Tomyris and the king of Persia Cyrus the Great."
From the historical film "Beibarys" or "Tomiris"
@@firuzaf4925Yes, thank you :)
Carla Holley “Tomiris” was bought for USA... expecting in movie theaters in the upcoming autumn
Dimash Ali is their own recording company as far as I know I found in this video you see his heart and his compassion not only for Kazakhstan but for all people of the world he wants peace as we all do loved it
Thank you, Lukas, I waited for your reaction to this amazing and painful piece of art! I knew that you can see the beauty in this almost monochromatic masterpiece. But there is a glimmer of hope at the end, there is sunshine and there are green meadows waiting for us, if we can overcome the difficult times. Dimash prays for all of us, not only for his country, but for all mankind. Thank you again!
Love your reactions very much! Though they are very few! Please, react to Samaltau by Dimash! You will see the same Kazakh national instrument which is Kobyz. And the same LOVE to his motherland!
Not a crow but a Kazakh golden Eagle, their national bird and its on the Kazach Flag 🇰🇿, the title translates to Oh My Holy Land. The instrument is a Kazakh Kobyz a 2 stringed (horsehair) lyre with a 5,000 year old history. Its a stunning song that ends on a major chord and the return of colour which gives hope for us all with this prayer for not just his homeland but for the world. Dimash is the most humble man, this is from his heart, he just lost two of his beloved teachers from covid-19 and it broke his heart. His country that he loves has had such a turbulent and tragic past so that is taken into account here too, especially the start of the video. Dimash is very pro peace anti war and never afraid to have his say, but this has nothing to do with politics. He is preparing another video with a new song also a new album of just Kazakh songs, he asked us dears if it would be something we would like and as his Kazakh songs are always so beautiful of course we said yes. Can't wait 🌹🌷🌹
Beautiful MV, beautiful song and beautiful reaction. Thanks 💙. Please comment on your next Dimash reaction what you are going to find out about this movie. For me, it is symbolizing struggling and sacrifices we have to make to have a brighter future.
I love your very strong perception of this performance.Indeed every word you put on each section you try to analyse is truly heartfelt.
The pain in his voice is so heartbreaking, and I myself thinking what is going on in the world made me shed tears.
At the end of the song comes the beauty of scenery that denotes hope and cure.Dimash has given us an illustration of probability and truth that penetrated our heart and soul in a very simple but so transparent in a way.
Thank you for giving us beautiful analysis of this Dimash’s masterpiece being proficient yourself in the field of cinematography.
Don’t apologize for stopping. The original is available for those who don’t want reaction. . I watch for your review.
Lucas, thank you for being such a soulful person. Your reaction have touched me as much as Dimash's wonderful work. You are the best reactor I've seen so far. Enjoyed watching and reliving every note with you. I believe you right, Dimash gives us hope by praying for all of us. The last accord was in major. Thank you for Dimash, Thank you for You. To fully appreciate Dimash lower range, please, react to Olimpico. THANK YOU!
You'll be happy to know that Dimash wrote in one of his IG that he is working on another MV.
Лукас здравствуйте, нравится Ваши реакции, хочется перевод, но многое понятно, Любим Димаша с уважением Украина
Thanks Lukas for this reaction ... I knew it would move you! This is an epic masterpiece from Dimash and a stunning directorial debut. The most profound line in the lyrics is 'What is tempered cannot be broken', and Dimash looks straight to camera intently when he sings it ... this is the hope he wants to connect us to! Di survives the burning, the tempering, honouring history's sacrifice ... strengthened to meet the new dawn, the new hope. It is a heartfelt prayer not only for his homeland but for the world. In an interview it has been said that Di & his team were moved by the news of covid deaths to bring this song and ultimately bring hope to the listeners. I agree Lukas ... this was Di's heart and soul on full display ... vulnerable, yet strong as iron. A breathtaking piece by all accounts! ♥️
I heard an interview re this movie and the part where the pianist falls off the bench into the water. This was not planned until that exact minute,,both Dimash and the other director said "fall" at the same time. It seems this song means something different to everyone. We see a very mature Dimash here. I believe that was an eagle not a crow...an eagle is the bird of his country
Could you give us link to that interview, please? :)
Fantastic and thoughtful reaction done with class and understanding. Been following Dimash well over a year now and have been constantly surprised, and a keen admirer not only of his voice but him as a decent and humble human being.
Спасибо,Лукас за реакцию! Димаш проделал, действительно серьезную работу с глубоким смыслом,это песня- молитва не только за Казахстан ,но за весь мир!Присоединяюсь, к этой молитве!!! Димаш взрослеет и проявляются новые грани его талантов и это радует и восхищает!
Thank you, Lukas, for reacting to this music video from Dimash. Kazakhstan was the world's first country to implement a second nationwide lockdown. It was during nationwide lockdown that Dimash created this new song and the video. He assembled some of his country's most talented composers, songwriters, traditional instrumentalists, filmmakers, and made his directorial debut. So much work went into this. He did it all at his own expense, and then he gave it away for free. Dimash uploaded this MV to his youtube channel with freely shareable viewing. Who does that?
Lukas, es ist schön all die Gefühle in Deinem Gesicht zu lesen, denn Du hast die innere Größe diesen Song intuitiv zu verstehen. Es ist ein wundervolles Lied und das Musikvideo ist ein Hammer. Was kann Dimash eigentlich nicht ?
I am stunned by this video, where Dimash sets aside all the personal "bells and whistles" of his vocals to offer this deep, compassionate prayer for his land, his people, the world. Interesting that you mentioned politics. His country has a bloody history with Russia's colonization, yet I have seen (via video, of course) his performance at the Kremlin, singing of love and commitment (The Love of Tired Swans). China is making headlines for their horrible mistreatment of some of his countrymen, yet he shows up, singing of love, joy, healing, celebration. Now, in his own country, he is making a very strong statement. His politics is so much higher in integrity and understanding than most of us could even hope to approach. We can learn so much from this shining soul. I hope listeners are visiting Dimash's page to subscribe, there, too. Here is the link: ruclips.net/channel/UCGBxbj_RMKB22rhJnK9qReg
Definitely a masterpiece from Dimash. I agree with you sadness is part of life as well. He delivers it all ❤️. Great review Lukas 💯
Dimash try his hand on directing 👍👀👍
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 excelente reacción! Dimash the best
Hello. I wait reaction Dimash Ogni Petra. You will be pleasantly surprised
Dankeschön Lukas für die Reaktion.
Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
Produced by "Dimash Ali Studio"
Thenk you for reaction on Dimash, SUPER and BRAVO!!!!!
It's a prayer. It's a cry from his soul. It's a prayer for the whole humanity to stop burn our homeland and our planet. We have to stop destroying all beauty around us, all art. We must stop burning ourselves. Dimash is a part of this beautiful art. And he is on fire. It's a SOS message for whole humanity. It's stunning. it's a cry of the soul.
It is an eagle-one of the national symbols of Kazakhstan. Also the wolf with its sorrowing expression-there is an old turkic legend that the wolf represents honor and is the mother of all their people. All part of the symbolism of this masterpiece.
And yes, the switch of a warmer green landscape and the major chord at the end-hope.
But I don't think the piece is political, per se-I think it is a prayer for the world and for an easing of the pain which is an omnipresent part of its past and that seems to be running so out of control at the moment-and a belief (or fervent hope) that there is a better time ahead of us.
Bellísima reacción me encanta como sientes la música . Dimash se estrena como director y es maravilloso ❤️❤️❤️
I love your reaction to this touching and beautiful video very much, thank you ! It´s like a prayer for Kasakhstan and the whole world. I hope better days will come soon for all of us.
The song with the intro and very meaningful images is not easy. Thank you for a great reaction, Lukas.
Lukas, you do such a wonderful job reacting to and analyzing music videos! It is clear that you are an experienced actor and director and that experience shows in your articulate and excellent reactions. Plus I love that you are so good at giving positive responses! You are a very sweet and sensitive person and it is very interesting watching your face when you react. Thanks so much for doing these reactions! I love them! More!
Thx for saying!
Thank you so much for your insightful commentary - i think we have all really been stunned by this amazing video - its surely fits well with they way many of us feel in todays world.
Loved your reaction very much. You nailed it. ✨👍🏼✨
Hello. From Brazil. I was curious to know your opinion on this video. His emotion was visible and his comments described all the details with excellence. Thanks again for your sensitivity.
It was impressive for me. I cried a lot even before I knew the content and had to watch it many times to completely absorb the message. It took me to a deep reflection. I was thinking about this video for several A plea for humanity to fight against the evil that destroys it and that only love and empathy can hope for a better future.
We had extra information on Facebook groups:
NARRATION: Iisbek Abilmazhinov
"The Great Steppe. I praise its rich lands. Altai and Atyrau, Zhaiyk and Ili, Alatau and Saryayka: what extensions of my land have witnessed my happy years! I refer to the Great Steppe, the golden cradle of the Turkish world.
Hey, silent world! Do not hold your breath
You have descendants that never lasted and were never separated during fierce disputes and confrontations. This land has an owner, a gentle character and a generous soul that could not spoil or break this changing world with its distorted values. The Great Steppe has a guardian spirit, unknown to a stranger, incomprehensible to a stranger. "
I copied a summary that was posted on the FaceBook about the creation of this clip and it's very interesting.
In essence, the song “Qairan Elim” is like a prayer in which Dimash shares his personal experiences, his anxiety about the fate of his homeland and the whole world. The idea was largely influenced by the coronavirus epidemic, which hit mankind and claimed millions of lives worldwide.
“The song“ Qairan Elim ”is a message and an appeal to all people for good and positive thoughts. The belief that we will surely overcome everything and face all diseases. The main thing is to believe and stay strong ”, commented Renat Gaissin and Dimash.
The melody of the song reached composer Renat Gaissin on an early July morning, in a recording studio, during a break between recordings, while looking at the news feed. With each news read, the composer's feelings became more and more unbearable - they, like reports of the war, were filled with information about the number of new people infected and killed by the coronavirus. And, as if I had a sad history in my head, the musical theme started to sound clearer and clearer ... Removing the phone from his ears, Renat approached his musical instrument and started playing a melody that suddenly, like a flash, came to your mind. A few minutes later, Dimash approached Renat and asked him to play again.
After hearing the melody from beginning to end, the interpreter, deeply impressed, said that he really wanted to sing it. The melody was shown to the sound producer, Yerlan Bekchurin, and he wrote an arrangement for it. From that moment, work on music began.
“Since ancient times, Kobyz has been a sacred instrument that reflects people's souls. Renat Gaisin's song “Qairan Elim” was born during our visit to Almaty. In writing the song, we all try to understand the whole idea of the song. At the request of the author and Dimash, we started recording kobyz. I started to improvise on the instrument and at the end, during the recording, something really beautiful and magical came out. I was very impressed with the project. This is a great creative experience for me. I hope that all listeners like the music ”- said the kobyzista Olzhas Kurmanbek.
The video was filmed in picturesque locations in the Almaty region. The directors were Dimash himself and cameraman Azamat Dulatov.
Nellie Nurasheva was the stylist for the video, the clothes were provided by the famous Kazakhstani stylist Ainur Turisbek.
Director: Dimash Kudaibergen & Azamat Dulatov
Producer and Project Manager: Papa Kanat Aitbayev
Music: Renat Gaissin
Lucas! I've always enjoyed watching your reactions, but it's much better to analyze Dimash's live performances. My opinion) By the way, thanks a lot!🔥
Excellent reaction and analysis! This is a masterpiece! There is currently no one like Dimash in the world. He is all about humanity, the arts, and love for his homeland. First, I turned away from the gruel images, but the thing with Dimash is that you cannort avert your gaze from him, he draws you into his world. Incredible charisma coupled with a heavenly voice! 💕🇫🇮
Congratulations a few reactors understood what Dimash want to tell in this video.111👍👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hay dude!.. what a lovely emotional song!
Powerful!!...
Tears in my eyes every time I watch this video, it touched my heart. Always love watching your reaction to Dimash!
I appreciate your reaction! You may have done your research meanwhile. Just one of the many symbols: The string instrument in the video was forbidden during soviet time. It used to be an instrument used by shamans for trance healing. Forbidding it cut right down the soul of the people. The kazaks found a way of hiding it in a violin form and managed to still use it sometimes.... That’s just one of the many aspects in the video but I think it is central as it talks about repression!
We wait 'Adagio' performance
:(
Please
It sure hits us hard and makes us think. For me it's a prayer for his country undoubtly, but it's also a prayer for all countries and above all to our holy land(home), Planet Earth.
Loved your reaction, thank you and stay safe. Regards from Portugal 💞💞
Fantastic reaction... You hit the nail on the head. His country's history of pain, now corona, death of his mentors, but he sees Hope.....
Браво Браво Браво
Hello from Athens ☀️
Dimash's real name is Dinmukhamed, Dimash is the so-called home name that he was called from childhood. It later became his stage name. As for the prefix ALI to a name, this is widespread and traditional in the Muslim world.
The stringed musical instrument is called kobyz - a traditional Kazakh ... Dimash is not a politician, but he is a PATRIOT of his country - in the highest sense of this concept.
You saw and understood everything correctly. We all have our own associations and details may differ from one another, but the common symbolism is precisely about troubles and grief that affect any people and any country in harsh times, but there is always hope for the best, despite the losses ... Thank you very much for your reaction)))) I often watch your videos, always with pleasure)))
Immer diese Gänsehaut..
Seine stimme ist hier besonders ausgeprägt, ganz ganz klasse .. keine Worte.
This is magnificent! Thank you for your analysis & reaction. This is a prayer for Kazakhstan and the world. So moving & filled with symbolism.
