Dimash - Adai+Daididau Bastau 2017 - Roadie Reacts 

No, he was crying as well as sweating! He was emotional, because this was his first solo concert (3 3/4 hours) that his country put on for him after his success in China and because all his fans (dears) had flown into his country (40,000) for the concert and they all knew the words to this song. It was Dimash’s dream to sing one of his country’s traditional folk songs to an international audience.

Daididau is about the composition of Magzhan Zhumabayev, an exponent of Kazakh literature. When in 1928 he was sent to prison, and later sent to camps in North Karelia, Russia, Zuleikha his wife followed him, no matter where he was taken, she always found him and came to see him everywhere. She went to great lengths to get him released from prison in 1936, even asking the famous writer Maxim Gorky for help. During his prison term, Zhumabayev received the lying news that his wife had abandoned him, so Daididau was written as a lament for the lost love and suffering of the nation. But contrary to what he thought, outside his wife worked hard for his freedom and in 1934 his sentence was reduced and he returned to his home. Unfortunately, Magjan Jumabay was detained again in 1938 and executed on the 19th March of the same year. Dimash is a very proud Kazakh and this song is so special to him because is a traditional song and he dreamt about singing it before a large audience to show his culture and his country to the world. He was almost in tears. The instrumentation is beautiful, the dombra is the instrument he plays in the intro., every Kazakh has one in his home and Dimash’s grandfather was a master of dombra. Dimash loves traditional music and incorporates Kazakh instruments in many songs such as Samaltau version for the Tokio Jazz Festival ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UvMRkiYu3Js.html

Love, love, love it and love him. Dimash is absolutely incredible ♥️♥️

DIMASH IS AN ARISTOCRAT, genealogy is extremely important in his culture and country, the direct descendent of a14th century noble family of The Khanate of the Junior Zhuz. He is not wearing a costume, raised from birth to become the ceremonial head of his family at 18, he received the title in ceremony and all the many duties and responsibilities to his people, privately and publicly which he performs with grace and dignity.

Beautiful performance. One of his dreams come true on this stage. I love all of Dimash's folk stuff too. I suggest Durdaraz/Almaty. Rock folk. I am also a Metal Gal🤣🤣🤣🥰 Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦

subtitles would be good...Very emotional, for him too. Best voice for me and his stage presence is amazing. True performer, story teller

He did this in New York and it was absolutely stunning. It was the highlight of the evening because it meant so much to him to hear a very multi cultural crowd in New York signing in Kazakh which is a dream he has always had. He wants so much to share his culture with the world. There is a fan cam out there that is so close up and personal that you can in fact see tears in his eyes and much like this performance, he never fails to show his gratitude and thinks nothing of bowing to the crowd and I suspect giving thanks to God at the same time which is something else he never fails to do. He is unique and he is very special. Qairan Elim is another song in his native language that you might really like.

I did request this I'm sure others may have, it is not reacted to enough there seems to be a list and no one strays from it, I think it's beautiful. It's a true love story if you Google it you will find out about it. Thank you for this reaction I wish more reactors would do it I always ask but it gets passed over a lot. I'm Mrs metal too its always been my thing but Dimash has an amazing voice and I love his traditional music, I like traditional music in general anyway it's good to see where people come from. Thanks again🙂🇬🇧

Thank you for your great eeaction,it only shows that he does not only stay in one genro,style ,he covers the whole spectrum of the art of music.The PERFECT LEGEND OF THE HISTORY OF THE MUSIC WORLD!

Also notice that his in-ears had failed at the beginning of the song. He took the right one out, looked offstage and tapped it then repeated that at least once during the song. So this beautiful song was all him with no input from his in ear headphones. Amazing! His tears were from his overwhelming happiness at being able to sing one of his countries folk songs to such a large crowd in his home country. He had stated that this was a dream of his.

this is a song he wanted to bring to the world based on a real story about a national hero, a poet imprisoned and executed by the Russians, he gets very emotional singing it

The emotion was paramount,he did cry as he was playing to his people,bless him he is an amazing young man

We think it was tears mixed with sweat. This was his first major solo concert in his home country and right at the beginning of the song his ear monitors failed. Nowadays he's used to that happening and we'll frequently see a technician run on stage to fix them while he's still singing but you can see him look towards the side of the stage and point to his ear monitors but no one came out to rescue him.

👉 This is Dimash's big first solo concert in Astana called ‘Bastau/ Beginning, shortly after the show 'The Singer 2017'. This concert was given to him by his hometown as a welcome home and as a thank you for his huge success in China. 30. 000 people from all over the world took part. In preparation for the concert, Dimash worked so hard that he lost a lot of weight. His family was very concerned.... but the concert was great. It blows your mind! (Only via video) I had to wait a few long years before I could see Dimash live in Prague (2022). * whole concert - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4x-DIU41RGM.html 👉 ADAI is popular in Kazakhstan and is composed by one of the greatest dombra players, the Kazakh folk musician and composer Kurmangazy Sagyrbayuly (1823-1896). 👉 DAIDIDAU is a poem written in prison by Maghzhan Zhumabayev. Thanks to the great performance of Dimash Kudaibergen in 2017 (The Singer). Daididau is now the most famous Kazakh song in the world. (Dimash's stage costume is based on the traditional Kazakh coat, called Shapan.) The true story: The poet Maghzhan Zhumabayev was in prison in Stalingrad (now Petersburg/Russia) and had just been informed that his wife had left him. This song was his answer. He named his wife Daididau (it could be derived from 'дедім айдай ау' - the moon-like one.) It was false information, a way to torture him and others arrested for conspiracy. Also through Gorky's (a famous Russian writer) intercession, Zhumabayev was released. He saw his wife again, but only for a short time. He was executed by the Stalin regime in 1938. The widow secretly collected all his poems. (They were banned until 1989). This song was first used in the Kazakh-Soviet film 'Shanyrak' directed by Edige Bolysbayev and thus became known and very important for the Kazakh people.

I think this was Dimash’s first concert after the China competition. When he’s shaking his head it’s because he was really feeling it, he’s blown away by his success, his lifelong dream coming true. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some tears there too. He was feeling very humble and grateful. A very special moment.

Principe Dimashh!!! BRAVO

Good to see you step away from SOS {great as it is! } to discover more of Dimash's traditional music. This was the first HUGE concert Dimash performed at - following his profile blowing up internationally after his performances on the Chinese Singer competition that same year. { The people in the front, waving all the neon signs are his Chinese Fans, who followed him this concert. Kazakhstan was starting to get a sense of just how huge a star he was becoming, and he had been officially appointed a Cultural Ambassador. You can find many traditional songs /video clips on his site and the showcasing of his beautiful country in these is spectacular. Here, it looks like they got as many local Kobyz players together as they could! Dimash has said most little Kazakh boys are expected to learn this traditional instrument. He WAS sweating - also crying. This was a hugely emotional event and honour for Dimash to perform in front of his 'own crowd', and particularly this song which is sort of an informal national anthem for Kazakhstan. The story it tells is of a revered Kazakh Poet, { Magzhan Zhumabayev } who was imprisoned by the Soviets for his political activities. The love story between him and his wife { Daididau) was legendary. While she was travelling ceaselessly to meet with various officials to try to secure his release, his jailers told him she had abandoned him and had found another. He was executed not knowing the truth.

Great reaction and while I like metal, watching Dimash is a way to refresh my soul.

Dimash - Beautiful to the ears, beautiful to the eyes. 😍🤩

If you enjoy Dimash’s folk songs, he has several. Durduraz from the Almatey concert, is given a rock vibe. Dimash owns the stage, Kieli Meken, from the digital show during the pandemic, is another folk rock song. Then Samaltau. From the Tokyo jazz festival or from the digital show, are both traditional. They are all amazing. Then Quiran Elim is an mv about his homeland. Dimash co directs it too. Amanat is like a prayer to his homeland. From the digital show again. No high notes or acrobatic runs, but simply exquisite. quiragym-ai, a song written by Dimash’s beloved college mentor, who died of covid. Dimash and the pianist wanted to pay their respects. As they were both his students. Simply heartbreaking. Empty theatre, candles on chairs, just beautiful.

Dimash sacude nuestras almas !!! Saludos desde Arge tina

My favorite Dimash performance! ❤

Los conciertos de Dimash son de 3 horas y deja la vida en el escenario,éste fue su primer concierto en solitario después de su éxito en China y se emocionó escuchar al público cantando en kazajo.Dimash es un gran embajador de la cultura de su país.Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷

When he presented this song in China, his professors and classmates at the university had flown to China to support him. When he sang it during his concert in New York, he actually shed tears.

Imagine having 30,000 fans at your first solo concert at home, after becoming a star in another country. As you can see, Dimash was emotionally struggling at the end of the song, and there were likely some tears mixed with the sweat. He was also probably sweating because his ear piece failed from the beginning (you can see him trying to signal his team)! The Adai is the opening piece played on the Kazakh national instrument, the dombra, which is found in most every home. Please activate your subtitles in settings; many of Dimash's songs, including this tragic folk piece, have very meaningful lyrics. Thank you for your reactions and for sharing with your friends and colleagues!

El concierto Bastau es uno de mis preferidos. En verdad es una canción muy hermosa y un clásico de Dimash en cada concierto en los que es acompañado por un amoroso coro de dears.

I love this song & this performance in particular, as he got so emotional at the multi-national/cultural audience loving & singing along in his native language & to a Kazakh folk song. He was crying as it was one of his childhood dreams just came true! What a feeling that must have been. He was just as emotional when he played a sold out concert in New York as, this too, was another dream he'd thought of from childhood. He's just amazing! Thank you for this one 😊🙏💞

This song is very dear and special for Dimash. Once he participated in a competition and in the second round he wanted to sing Daididau. The organizers said he should sing another song instead but he insisted: „either I sing this song or I quit“. Well he sang Daididau. For sure in this performance he was sweating a lot but he also shed some tears. He was able to present this traditional song from his culture, so dear to him, to an international audience.

An absolute favourite, thanks for sharing, I loved your reaction ❤️ 💞🦌

At Dimash’s concerts he always does folk songs from Kazakhstan! This one is a favorite and he’s been singing it for years. This is his mother’s favorite!Dimash did a couple of changes to the original song but no one seems to care! There is a video with Dimash at about 18 months old trying to play the dombra and singing. What a forecast to his future! 😊❤️

I love rock and metal too, but Dimash is another category on his own. Although if you want to hear a rock/metal song of Dimash's, i would check out Durdaraz. The live version from Almaty or the digital show is great. It's not a Dimash original, but it is a Kazakh song. I do think Dimash did shed a tear there, not just sweat. He got very emotional. He also sang SOS at that concert too.

I love this performance! I can’t believe he continued when his in-ears failed at the beginning! I get emotional too when I see that he was almost crying there.

One of my favorite performances. Almost too emotional for him to finish. He worked extremely hard to give the best concert he could give. Thank you

So glad you included Adai, all those traditional instruments and it just fits.

Maravillosa 👏 👏 👏 interpretacion. Saludos desde Panamá 🇵🇦

Q afortunados somos los q podemos escuchar a dimash es un regalo de el cielo❤

Mesmerizing performance, what else can you say, he gives his soul to the audience every single time. Btw, you were not wrong, he got very emotional, it's a special song for Dimash and his fellow countrymen.

He was emotional !! he was also sweating he has many of these kind of performances

The lyrics are very important and it's a shame you didn't really know what this song is about. But besides that... I always love your positive attitude and reactions to Dimash. I first saw this video five years ago and it has remained in my top five all that time!

The lyrics of the song pierced my heart so deep particularly the part where the poet, while being held in prison by the enemy, told his wife "if you are determined to leave me, to whom shall I divulge my sorrows."

The Greatest

Димаш Великолепен!Реакция супер!

Good evening. Amazing. I love Daididau song. 🎼❤🎼❤🎼❤🎼❤🎼❤🎼😘

❤❤❤❤❤ Димаш ❤❤❤❤❤

Dimash, Dimash, Dimash ❤

I think that you should reacting to The story of one sky. This is against war, it is so well done, so touching 😢 His vocal performance is just stunning too. Thank you for your channel, I love it

He was crying. Its a sad story too

Великий сын своего народа ! С приветом из России.

This performance was from his incredible solo concert Bastau in Kazakhstan in 2017. His in ears packed up as soon as he started singing but it never affects his vocals when that happens and it's just part of live performing. He did get quite emotional at the end, he was just so proud to sing this particular song for his first gigantic concert in his home country. Dimash and his godfather rearranged this beautiful song and now its sung around the world in Kazakh by Dimash's Dears. Thank you for your love for our Prince Dimash. I look forward to your next reaction ❤

Спасибо за реакцию. Вы слушали, не прерывая песню. И я слушала вместе с Вами. Это было космически!

Espectacular los trajes, músicos, pantalla, los instrumentos nativos y la guinda de la torta Dimash el mejor cantante el que más nos trasmite!

One of my favorites also. ❤

Мой любимый ДИМАШ!!!!! Браво!!!! Респект реакции!

I so love how Dimash brings his culture and unique instruments to us. ❤

Actually, he really cried, he experienced that people from over 60 countries who attended his concert sing along with him in Kasak language, exactly this song that he really loves very much.

Hello again Sir! Thank you for reacting to Dimash! Love him. Dimash always tries to promote Kazak music and instruments. What you here is the Dombra. Dimash himself plays multiple instruments!

Along with Samaltau and Amanat this is one of my favourite songs. Love hearing him sing in Kazakhstani. I wish they were available on Spotify like many others that are amazing but only found elsewhere.

super mega react.thank u Rodie.

His live Almaty Concert was fantastic! There are 3 Parts! Please check them out! 🙏❤️

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Gran reacción, saludos cordiales desde México

It seems you feel him more and more.

Me encanta Dimash 💯💯🇨🇷

Dimash is quite the sweater. Sveta, his mother, says they literally have to wring out his clothes from one wardrobe change to another. Since he is tall and thin, he probably has a mitral valve prolapse which can often make one sweat like that.

His in ears were not working throughout this song and the next, Dimash fabulous as usual! You should listen to him singing the Kazakhstan National Anthem in Las Vegas at the Canelo v GGG boxing match in September 2022. Blew everyone away!

This is classic Kasak folk music.

Espetacular, Dimash é único, saudações do BRASIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤

This,ans samaltau/ikanaide,both from Tokyo jazz festival are my fav.

I love it ❣️

Dimash,es un cantante extraordinario, increíble ❤ lo Amó

He was emotional i think was years and swet

And suit is REALLY heavy

Dimash performed this at the Grammy's a few years back. Barry Gibbs was there and not only knew the song but cried htrough the entire performance..

He was emotional he did cries and bending to his pubblic

In case you are interested in the history of this song. This song is very sad and it tells about a very dark time in the history of Kazakhstan, not so long ago. To understand the song, I always advise to take the link from Gloria Wu’s channel as it shows the background story and also has English subtitles. The Kazakh poet and writer Magzhan Zumabayev was sentenced by the Russian regime to 10 years in prison for conspiracy in 1929 and imprisoned. While in cusody there, he was falsely told that his wife had left him. If I am correctly informed he is said to have written the lines of the song in prison (as a letter to his wife), probably to express his deep sadness and despair over is. Although he was released in 1934, he was arrested again a few months later and was executed 1937. The lyrics of this song are so sad I could cry every time I hear it. It never leaves me unmoved. Even after hearing it so many times. I was at his concert in Düsseldorf and he sang this song with us Dears there too. This song is one he always performs in his concerts, plays the Dombra (a Kazakh folk instrument), and asks his Dears to sing along with him in his Kazakh language (he looks like a Kazakh Prince with his traditional clothing). Every Dear knows many of his lyrics in Kazakh and loves to sing his songs with him at his concerts. I find it incredibly impressive and wonderful how a single man manages to bring together so many people from meanwhile 150 different countries and continents with so many different views in politics or religion, with so many different languages in a common group and to celebrate peacefully together and to sing in his own language. You always can see how proud he is of his country and how happy and moved he is when the audience sings with him in his concerts🥰. This concert was his first solo concert after performing in The Singer competition in 2017. He has invited about 100 dombra players to this concert, who together with him perform a short instrumental, Adai, before Daididau. That's very impressive. He always gets emotional with this song. Greetings from Germany❤️

❤❤❤🎉

hi Joel! Just for information, I was looking one of your reactions and you comment somebody told you that the version of SOS that you love was playback.... definitely NOT, IT´S 100 % Live😉

and he sung it on stage - where his ear monitors failed him. This is a beautifully sad song or lies and separation. This husband and wife, he gets put in prison because of what he writes. Then he gets letters from his wife saying its all over, not realising these are lies from the prison. He is in for around 10 years, when he gets out they find out what has been done to them. With 6 months, they snatch and imprison him again, but this time to executed him. Dimash sings this sorrowful song beautifully.

❤

I love this performance, it is so heartfelt and emotional, happy you liked it too! There are many gems on this Bastau concert! Try Daybreak for example, also on a sad and emotional side: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2kZTJjLoD64.html (from Dimash channel) or ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aZdkQxnBCwo.html (I think this one might avoid copyright). On the happier side is a Jasmine (there are multiple versions, my favorite is a duet with Wu Tong, but now I only found a fancam, quality is not perfect but still fun, it is a famous traditional song in ChinaCeline Dion sang it too), and Leyla from D-dynasty concert where Di is in a black and white jacket, his is so happy and playful there, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KBai9YrlXJs.html.

Did you notice he had problems with his in-ears at the very beginning and sang the whole song without them?

Hey All! Quick question... I just recorded a reaction to another Dimash track and I said the song was performed in "Kazakstani." I said that because I had read in the comments here that Kazakhstani is the language Daididau is performed in. However, when googling (after my reaction) I think the language is Kazakh and not Kazakhstani? I'm just hoping someone can clarify for me so that going forward I'm correct. Thank you!!!!

Keep in mind that it was a few days since he had an operation on the apedicitis in this concert!
