Dimash Qudaibergen - Stranger (live New Wave ft. Igor Krutoi) FIRST REACTION! (NOTHING HE CAN'T DO!)

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Welcome guys! First of all, enjoy my reaction to Stranger, it was again mind blowing! some of you might know already from my last poll, but I'll do monthly Dimash reactions from now on. For some of you that might seem like not much at all, but let me explain. As I have a fulltime job and side job, I can't produce more videos per week in my current situation. Also, I haven't done that for any other artist before so far, so that says something 😉 I definitely hope you guys look forward to more of Dimash of course 😀

[@szolanek]

We have to ask Dimash to slow down a bit :)

[@maszchillout88]

Hi Yuri, thanks again. Nice reaction. Stranger blow our mind too. Looking forward to your reaction to his other 2 songs 'Fly Away' and 'Ave Maria' that was premiered on the same show New Wave 2021. Greetings from Malaysia.

[@gregoryjamessnayer7271]

Dimash, indeed, is a humble and respectful artist, so it does absolute justice to return the same. You, Sir, are also very respectful in the way that you go about in this and all other of your reactions, also deserving the same. Dimash is absolutely incredible with unmatched vocal ability and creativity around it. Thank you for reaction to "Stranger". Try "Samaltau", "Ikenaida" and "Ogni Pietra" and "When I've Got You".

Remember this about Dimash that is different than any excellent vocalist, Dimash sings in every register within 8 octaves. Remember within those notes any note he sings he can sing that note with more than 10 techniques. His education before he made his way to the singer competition in China as the first person to sing in 2017 the song sos he already had 2 masters in classical and contemporary music, a masters class in Broadway singing. And Dimash is an athelete singer and his physical body he’s an athelete too in swimming, soccer, and a red belt martial artist in taekwando. Dimash is also a high fashion model. He has been on the cover of men’s health magazine. He is a maestro prodigy in everything he touches

[@donnaepapara108]

Dimash singing is God's gift to mankind hi low sopranos whistle etc a hard working talented artist great reaction from New Zealand dears

[@patricialifsichtz5492]

I agree with a Dear that said Dimash is very addictive. Once you start you can't stop. Also he is a artist to watch perform, not only hear. About him as person...well, he is an extraordinary human being. He is not only illegally talented but he has a golden heart, he is a pure soul, he has united people from all over the world in a Dears family, an extension of his real large family. Dimash is an educated guy, with excellent social skills, he is polite and kind, his behaviour is coherent with his values and principles. He is funny, he can act silly on purpose to make us laugh. He greets Dears almost every day by Instagram, telling us what is he doing and wishing us good day and good night. Dears feel him as family, we love him so much and pray for him and his family daily. Dimash is living his childhood dream: to be an artist. But he says he still is a simple guy from Aktobe, his birth city. He is the best singer in the world, he's a living legend and we are very lucky to live in the same time than him.

Dimash is a perfectionist and a workaholic. In interviews on Kazak TV, he stated that he wakes up at 5AM (7 days a week). By 5:30AM he has begun doing 3 hours of vocal exercises (scales, arpeggios, lip bubbles, etc..). That is before he even begins his workday in the studio or at rehearsals for a concert. To improve his lung capacity and breath control, he will either swim laps in a pool for 1 hour uninterrupted or hit the treadmill for a 5k run. Sometimes, he will substitute that for a full-on 90 minute soccer match with his mates and their team. (He has good ball skills as you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaXCnaKhhL9_jdk ). He doesn’t drink, either! He will often work 12-14 hour days. He says he hates vacations. Dimash is the real deal when it comes to showing how hard work and dedication will make you succeed!

Hi YB ! we like you b´c you are spontaneous and natural; your comments interest us a lot, as you are a musician, you capture many more details and you explain them to us so cool. To react to Dimash it's okay to just be yourself and no special science. He has a gift, it´s true. But he´s a guy like everyone who works hard and he does not have it as easy as some believe, because of the environment in which he lives. Let´s listen attentively to the meaning of his last songs. Sometimes we don't realize the freedom we enjoy in this side of the world ... thank you for giving his talent the support that he deserves and needs. Yeah, we know that Dimash and Leo Messi are both gifted. One for music, one for football. When they enter the court, it´s not to sink another player, but to RAISE the entire TEAM. He´s attracting much more people to hear music and that´s GOOD for all singers ! Go ahead with all the claw dear YB you who are so lover of music !!! Big hug for you and thanks wishing you the BEST!

👉 Here is playing the best Kobys player in the world, Dimash’s friend Olzhas Qurmanbeck. 👉 The Kobys or Kobyz or Kylkobyz is an old Turkic stringed instrument, has two horsehair strings, the wooden sound box is covered with goatskin and is played with a bow. The Kobys is the oldest string instrument in the world and, according to a German scientist, it spread beyond the borders of the nomadic area of ​​Central Asia and became the prototype of all European string instruments. (Turkic means: The Turkic peoples are a collection of ethnic groups from Central, East, North and West Asia as well as parts of Europe and North Africa who speak Turkic languages.) A legend about Kobyz says that this instrument was created by the great steppe narrator Korkyt-Ata, who lived in the 10th century and that the tool is charged with magical and even mystical properties and sounds like animal voices. In addition, the Kazakh people believed that the spirits of their ancestors spoke to them through this music. The old outlook and piety towards their instruments and music was constantly preserved in traditional Kazakh society and ensured the highest spiritual level of musical art and a special respectful attitude towards musical instruments. Simple people, for example, did not dare to touch the shaman's Kobyz. It is said: The balance between the courses of life and death on earth can be maintained by playing the Kobyz. (www.)🌼🇩🇪

[@JensRandolff]

Another great reaction and analysis. Dimash premiered his newest song "Stranger" on August 19, 2021, during his performance at the annual New Wave music competition in Sochi, Russia. He once again performed with Igor Krotoy on the piano and introduced Olzhas Qurmanbeck on the kobyz. It is an amazing performance, one of, if not the best to date, in my humble opinion. Igor Krutoy composed the music, American poetess Sharon Vaughn wrote the lyrics, and Dimitris Kontopoulos (Greece) and Yerlan Bekchurin (Kazakhstan) did the arrangement. Igor Krutoy is quoted as saying that “it was Dimash’s talent that inspired me to write this song, his immense vocal abilities and his desire to sing for a large international audience. Franky, I don’t see anyone else who could perform this piece in such a way.” When Dimash first listened to the melody of "Stranger" he felt that the addition of a kobyz to the musical arrangement would give the song a unique, yet very fitting sound. Thus, the kobyz made its debut at the New Wave Hall at the Sochi Olympic Park, and what a great choice indeed. It is a beautiful sounding instrument that seems to underscore the song’s deep meaning. This wasn’t the first time that Dimash has featured Olzhas Qurmanbeck playing the kobyz. You can also enjoy him in a few of Dimash’s other performances such as Qairan Elim (official music video) and Samaltau (2020 Tokyo Jazz Festival). The Kobyz is a very old, traditional, and sacred instrument in Kazakhstan. The kobyz or kyl kobyz is the most ancient bowed instrument on earth, widespread among the Turks, Kazakhs, Karakalpaks, Bashkirs, and Tatars. It became the basis for most of today’s bowed instruments around the world, including European instruments such as violin, viola, cello, and contrabass. The Kyrgyz variant is called kyl-kayak. The instrument is carved from a single piece of wood (typically apricot) or juniper (arsha), maple, pine tree, or birch. The instrument consists of three parts: head (bas), middle (base is keude), and lower part (ayak) and usually measures 60-70 cm. It has two strings made from horsetail hair; one to provide melody and the other resonance. The bow is shaped like an archer’s bow, and its string is tied to both ends of the bent branch and affixed with strong threads of camel wool. The New Wave Music competition started in 2002, and for nearly two decades now has been one of the most iconic music events in Russia and other parts of the world. It is an international contest for young performers of popular music. It was founded by Russian composer, performer, and music producer Igor Krutoy (seen here playing the piano) and Latvian pianist and composer Raimonds Pauls. Russian superstar Alla Pugacheva eventually joined as one of the show’s organizers. The contest usually lasts for six days: 3 contest days, 2 special event days, and the final day when the contest's results are announced and a final concert is performed. The television audience of the New Wave music competition numbers more than 200 million people. In 2018, Dimash debuted as a guest performer, performing his now legendary rendition of “Sinful Passion”. This year (2021) Dimash took part as a guest performer, as well as a judge. In this year’s finale, 11 participants from 9 countries will compete for the grand prize.

If you see Maestro Igor Krutoy sitting at the piano....chances are 99% he composed the song.

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Thx for the info Dearly Dears🙂

[@tirallala1]

👉 A Dear wrote: “These are the voices of the world singing the tragedy of human migration forced by tragic circumstances.” Another Dear: “Dimash is not only a singer, but a messenger of something very deep that has been lost in music lately ... Dimash invades our soul and never leaves it.” On August 19, 2021, for the first time the sound of kobyz was heard on the stage of the New Wave Hall in Sochi Olympic Park. The tandem of Igor Krutoy (piano) and Dimash Qudaibergen (voice) with the best Kobys player in the world Olzhas Qurmanbek, have presented a new, really unique song in English with enchanting oriental melodies. The idea to add kobyz to the new song came to Dimash after he first heard the melody "Stranger". He decided that the folk instrument would fit perfectly into the song, giving it an exciting sound. The performer of the kobyz part is Olzhas Kurmanbek. The music was created by Russian song-writer Igor Krutoy (musictitan, billionaire), and the lyrics were written by Mary Sharon Vaughn (*1947, is an American musician, songwriter and producer. She writes hits for famous singers around the world) The main arrangement was made by Dimitris Kontopoulos (Greece) and Yerlan Bekchurin (Kazakhstan). “It was Dimash’s talent that inspired me to write this song, his immense vocal abilities and his desire to sing for a large international audience. Franky, I don’t see anyone else who could perform this piece in such a way”, - Krutoy said.

Stranger is an epic song with touches of medieval, Gregorian and even a march together. I love Dimash’s different voice textures specially the Middle East vibes in those riffs and runs 🎤❤️🔝🎼👏👏👏👏👏👏 At the end of the performance Dimash introduced Olzhas Qurmanbek, the Kobyz player. That is a traditional Kazakh instrument. 🌹🎤❤️🔝🎼🎻👏👏👏👏👏👏

On August 19, 2021, Dimash sang two songs at the opening of the New Wave Festival in Sochi (Russia). The first, already known "Your love", and after it the new "Stranger". Both songs were written by Igor Krutoy specifically for Dimash. After performing the first song, he says: "Thank you, thank you very much. And now a new song will be played. Premiere!" The instrument that starts the song is called a KOBYZ. After the song, Dimash says: "Thank you very much! Thank you very much! I love you! Very strong-very strong! Thank you very much! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Igor Krutoy! And the best kobzist in the world, my friend, guest from Kazakhstan Olmajas Kurmanbek!" 19 августа 2021 года в городе Сочи (Россия) на открытии фестиваля "Новая волна" Димаш спел две песни. Первую, уже известную "Your love" , а за ней новую " Stranger". Обе песни написаны Игорем Крутым специально для Димаша. Он после исполнения первой песни говорит: " Спасибо, спасибо огромное. А теперь прозвучит новая песня. Премьера!" Инструмент, который начинает песню называется КОБЫЗ. После песни Димаш говорит: " Спасибо огромное! Спасибо большое! Люблю вас! Сильно - пресильно! Спасибо огромное! Спасибо! Спасибо! Спасибо! Игорь Крутой! И лучший кобзист мира, мой друг, гость из Казахстана Олмаджас Курманбек!"
