I feel every ounce of love, pride, fortitude and sorrow that he has for his beloved home land. Such is the power and mastery of Dimash’s storytelling through song ❤️
Impresionante reacción muchas gracias por compartir con nosotros el talento del maestro Dimash simplemente gracias por favor puedes reaccionar a la historia de un cielo. Stranger y a hello por favor gracias 😊
This is my favourite version of Samaltau, I listen to it nearly every day, he portrays in his voice the despair, longing and weariness of a young man forced to leave his home ... the instrumentals are other worldly too, thanks again for this .
He does it in Tokyo Jazz Festival 2020 a In a studio with just musicians ant that version is now my favorite. Almost like prayer and so very respectful
This one was a new one for me..but good lord. Dimash is dimash. There isn't anything he does that isn't brilliant. Every note. Every nuance. The way he brings the audience with him. There is nothing else like him on the planet. He makes it an incredible time to be alive. Thank you for introducing me to this piece of art.
That's one of the things I love most too! Qaragym Ai from the digital show is especially like that! My favourite though is Qairan Elim, his prayer for his land and for the world.
Olzhas Qurmanbek perform on the kobyz . he is considered the best kobyz player in the world. A gifted Kobyz player can re-create the Soundscapes of the Steppes and the different animals who live there. It is traditionally played by shamans and is considered a sacred instrument!
He is EVERYTHING. 💥💥💥 So hot it burns. Every time. Especially with Kazakh songs like this one, dearest to him. They originate deeply from his soul, like the cries of his ancestors... His voice is amazingly powerful here, with such a magnificent, emotional, passionate delivery🔥 Dimash-style 💯%
Kobyz is pronouced as coe-bizz, with the accent on the first syllable. The one time Dimash had a different kobyz player accompany him on "Samaltau" it wasn't the same. Olzhas Qurmanbek is a world-class kobyzist (Dimash says he's the best in the world, and I'll trust his judgement on this). When I hear Olzhas play a kobyz solo, it moves me to tears every time, even on repeated listens. I don't understand how this instrument is played, except that the strings float above the neck, and I've read that the sound is produced by playing between the strings, with one string used for the melody and the other for resonance. But how many sounds can you get from two strings and a bow? Apparently, in the hands of a master, an infinite number. But, the real mystery is how this "simple" instrument elicits such an emotional response. It's the perfect instrument to accompany Dimash's voice, and I would love an entire album of just that.
Hey Snarky Tart, I love your comment! Who ever sang with emotion like Dimash?? I totally agree about Olzhas, his playing is truly magical! He's also a really nice guy. Given your screen name, I was wondering if you knew of the jazz fusion group, Snarky Puppy - it could be the name of your pet!😂 This is legendary, the keyboard solo by Cory Henry is absolutely mind blowing!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L_XJ_s5IsQc.html
Dimash, su música es arte. Cada interpretación es una cátedra de cómo se hace música, como se interpreta y como hoy, a pesar de todo, se puede hacer verdadera arte. Dimash con su inagotable e indiscutible talento marca la gran diferencia.
Piano, violine and other classical instruments are an obvious choice for his voice and style, but the electric guitar goes SO well also. I love how they manage to put a modern twist on these folk songs without 'betraying' them.
The talent of this man is so impressive that it leaves you speechless ... What could you add after seeing this? Just thank the universe for bringing it to us at this time. Dimash Kudaibergen, without a doubt, the great music phenomenon of recent times, and probably of all times ... Kind regards from Chile 🇨🇱
please react to metalklaps 'blood brothers'" or "fear of the dark". Klapa singing is a traditional polyphonic homophonic singing without accompaniment of instruments. The phenomenon of klapa singing is a continuous and relatively old phenomenon and as we know it today, it was formed in the middle of the 19th century, at a time when the cultural and musical identities of Mediterranean towns on our coast and islands, especially in Dalmatia.
So special, so heartbreaking, so beautiful - I agree with every word you say, thank you for a great reaction! I LOVE this song and Dimash's performance!❤️💔
Love this song, I cry each time I hear it. It's such a beautiful piece & yet it has the power to break your heart & soul. So fragile & tender that you can't help feeling all of the emotions it provokes during the performance Akita, 🇺🇸 Dear
Thank you for your reaction! Dimash agrees with you about the skill of his kobyz player: he has said he's the best in the world! His name is Olzhas Qurmanbek. All of the musicians on Dimash's team are exceptionally skilled!
Dimash fez uma apresentação espetacular dessa música Folck e histórica Cazaque! Dimash quando canta não precisamos traduzir pois sua voz e sua interpretação magistral transcende qualquer idioma! Simplesmente Sublime!! Único! Inigualável ! Os músicos com seus instrumentos tradicionais são extraordinários!! O Concerto de Dimash estava com uma atmosfera muito especial! Cenário e efeitos especiais- Incrível! Continue apreciando Dimash! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏿👏🏿🎶🎶🎶💞💞🇧🇷🇧🇷
At the beginning of the song, the sounds of the Great Steppe of Kazakhstan at night were masterfully imitated on the Kazakh ancient folk instrument KOBYZ. We hear howl wolves, barking dogs, the cries of cranes, the noise of water in the river... /// The song "Samal Tau" is considered folk. Its plot is connected with the events of 1916. That year, many men were mobilized for World War I, which was in Europe. /// The guy walks along the steppe road at night and sings a song about having left his native home and old parents, native mountains "Samal Tau". The guy doesn't know what lies ahead in the war. He doesn't know if he'll return from the war to his home. /// In the version of the online concert, the "whirlwind of war" was originally depicted in the form of black smoke and lightning around Dimash. They wanted to show us that war, like a tornado, draws millions of people, and they die, for other people's interests. /// Dimash sings this song in Kazakh. The song premiered on October 20, 2019 in China at the closing of the 6th Silk Road International Film Festival ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1NkoFc-bQ_s.html
Essa música é linda e triste ao mesmo tempo. Conta a história das tradições do Cazaquistão. Eu sempre me emociono com o Dimash cantando essa música. Saudações do Brasil.💗💗🇧🇷🇧🇷
samaltau means Mount Samal. The lyrics are sad because it refers to when in 1916 the Kazakh men were recruited by the Russians and forced to fight in the First World War. According to the lyrics, a young man marching towards the battle zone thinks about what awaits him and suffers from what will happen to his parents, who are old and left alone. The instrument that sounds at the beginning is called Kobyz, it has 2 strings and incredible sounds come out of it
The first version I heard was the One Belt ( I think ) concert . He goes up in a place where he never does again and I honestly can’t choose between it or the Tokyo jazz version or this one . 😰
What about Madmuaselle Hyde (Lara Fabian origin) by Dimash? By the way, Samaltau is beautiful song about First World War and wind. Thanks for reaction!
The blasting of the cannons with the smoke reflect so well the site in the battle field where this soldier was that it transports you there. This is probably the best version of Samaltau for me. I always enjoy your reactions. Take care❤️🙏
Thank you so much Josefine! I was trying to match Eddie Van Halen’s guitar color scheme with red, black, and white 😊 My mic was custom painted by Colorware. Thanks again for noticing!
@@MetalGuyReacts that's really nice. And thank you too for answering my comment and for your reactions to dimash I really like your reactions because I always feel the same as you
For good reason this is a Fav of many, including DIMASH. When DQ sings in his native Kazakh, I melt & then the humanity he shows is why I love him! THX friend 🔥 reaction! ps - I NEED a🌪 filter immediately, lol!
About instrument - Qob'yz. In Qazaq language an accent on the last syllable. As in French. The Qazaq language is one of the richest in the world - the official dictionary of the Qazaq language contains more than 2.5 million words. It was fully formed by the 15th century and has remained practically unchanged since then. It is one of the most stable and conservative languages in the world. Qazaqs even now easily understand what is written on the Kul-Tegin stele in the 8th century. So right now you can hear how and in what language the Golden Horde spoke. The Türkic group of languages has the most ancient history of the written language - starting from the Sumerians. In addition, the Qazaq language is the language of poetry and music. Prose was considered something primitive and was called "kara soz" - "black word". Every self-respecting Qazaq had to be able to sing and communicate in poetic form. You can see that Dimash sings practically without opening his mouth - there are very few open vowels. This is a special technique of traditional singing, echoing with the sounds of Qobyz - an instrument played by a musician. We see the same technique at the beginning of the Stranger. For example, when Dimash sings to Dombra, his performance is completely different.
When Dimash sings with his eyes closed-look out world, you are in for a treat! And I could listen to Olzhas Qurmanbek play the kobyz for hours straight. I’m a double bassist and what he does with 2 STRINGS astounds me 🤯🤯🤯. Great heartfelt reaction. A Canadian Dear 🦌🇨🇦💜🇰🇿
Hi MGR! Great reaction to a GREAT song. Thanks. For me his Kazakh songs always hit an unknown core in me. I love the use of the kobyz and the dombra. Please, please check out Durdaraz too! He rocks that out of the park. And for some new infusion, try Hua Chenyu with 'Nunchucks'. Also a great artist. Hi from the Netherlands!
Hey Jeff, I always enjoy your reactions! Who ever sang with emotion like Dimash??!!? So heart wrenching and powerful. I can really imagine being a young guy, forced to walk from my beautiful and beloved homeland to some cursed battlefield to fight a foreign war. Looking back for a last time at the majestic Samal mountain and thinking of my aged parents, wondering what will become of them. This just might be my favorite as well, but every version of this song has me in tears by the end. I also really love the Tokyo jazz fest version.
Hi Susanna! It sure is Vincent Price on my shirt! Great catch! I've been a fan of his since I was a kid. I watched a bunch of his movies on AMC when I was in junior high. House of Wax is one of my favorites :)
@@MetalGuyReacts love him too, I have a framed photo of him on my living room😉. I love his movies based on Poe's books. Great reaction as usual. Greetings from Catalonia!
