[@AdamStraughan]

What was your favorite part of this performance? Let me know in the comments!

[@ЛидияПаприка]

Этой песне уже более 100 лет и многие певцы исполняли ее. Но именно Димаш заинтересовал слушателей,заставил задуматься над историей и смыслом. Впервые "Самал Тау" была исполнена Димашем в Китае в октябре 2019 года на закрытии кинофестиваля "Шелковый путь". В 2020 году -на японском джазовом фестивале (студийная запись из-за пандемии короновируса). В январе 2021года на открытии недели празднования по случаю инаугурации американского президента Джозефа Байдена.(Впервые в таком мероприятии принял участие казахский артист. Димаш поблагодарил представителей организации Sister International за приглашение. Гендиректор Sistar Cities International отметил,что творчество Димаша объединяет людей,их культуры и языки). Спасибо за реакцию. Мира,добра. Привет из Украины ("Dears").

Este tema me llega al alma ,que bonito y que maravilla. Grande dimash ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@niviaanamiranda9221]

Dimash es un gran narrador, un interprete brillante y en todas sus canciones él se sumerje por completo en lo que desea transmitir. En este caso, el campesino reclutado como soldado, no esta contento de partir a una guerra extraña en tierras desconocidas y se lamenta de dejar atras a sus padres ancianos, a su tierra y a su familia, y esa es por desgracia, incluso en la actualidad, el sentimiento de muchos de los que debido a diferentes circunstancias, se ven involucrados directamente en las guerras. Como dice Dimash, Elegimos la paz!!

Yes,agree we are choosing life ❤.peace from Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[@seemabawani9042]

Thanks much, Adam, for your reaction to this beautifully emotional song...and appreciation of Dimash's music and artistry 🙏🎼🙏 This song Samal-tau meaning "mountain breeze" was sung by a man in his 20s who was drafted by the Russians to fight in World War ll. Kazakhstan was a Russian colony at that time and even though this Central Asian region was not directly involved in that war it was greatly affected by it. The singer/soldier and other draftees walked for 14 days to get to Omsk as he sang this song and it became a famous folk song of Kazakhstan. Sadly, no one knows what happened to him...

[@debbiemorgan859]

It's really good to hear someone who loves this performance as much as most of the Dears do. Most of Dimash's songs in Kazakh don't rely on the vocal acrobatics and don't need them. He tells his stories in his own language beautifully and emotionally. You would probably enjoy Omir too, Dimash wrote both the music and lyrics for this one and it's fairly autobiographical. Omir means life in Kazakh. There is also another one called Omir Oter meaning Life Passes, written by his friend Kazakh composer Renat Gaissin. Qairan Elim is also written by Renat and it was a prayer for Kazakhstan to make it through COVID, the music video that accompanies this song was actually directed by Dimash himself and he also did some of the camera work.

[@ginastabile1644]

C'était la période COVID/Quarantaine. Dimash a fait cette prestation depuis sa propre maison, et une interview en vidéo conférence. Samaltau est une vieille chanson kazakhe, qui parle d'un soldat contrant d'aller se battre loin de son pays, qui se lamente de devoir laisser seuls ses vieux parents...et se demander s'il reviendra chez lui.

[@mariaangelicaseijasyanes3508]

Me encanta todas las canciones populares Kazajas, que Dimash nos ha presentado, cargadas de mucho sentimiento y belleza. Saludos desde Venezuela.

[@Downtime123]

I’m a Dear through and through and this is one of my favorite songs and performances. Most of his Kazakh catalogue does not showcase his range but are all about the story told in his beautiful voice ❤

[@ayon-ora]

эта народная песня в исполнении Димаша становится глубокой, объемной. очень эмоциональной. спасибо за реакцию, за искренность.

[@nicevinci_dear]

Thank you for reacting to this specific performance. It’s my favorite. He’s so focused in this song. Beautiful but sad. The instrument you mentioned is called Qobyz. The Qobyz is a very old two stringed Kazakh folk instrument and it’s spread among Kazakhs. The man who is playing the Qobyz in Dimash’s performance is the best on this instrument and a very good friend of Dimash. His name is Olzhas Qurmanbek. You often can hear this instrument when Dimash sings in his native tongue like Samaltau, Qairan Elim or ÒmirÒter and at the stage performance in Stranger. The flute is called Sygyzgy and is mainly played in the Kyrgyz and Kazakh regions. According to Wikepedia it is traditionally played by shepherd horse herders. A wonderful sound. Samaltau is about a young Kazakh who was forcibly recruited by Russia in 1916. He was forced to leave his home country and his elderly parents to go to war (WWI) and does not know what awaits him there as a soldier or how his elderly parents are to manage without him. He was forced into a war that is not his. The best version in my opinion is from the Tokyo Jazz Festival. It’s pure emotion. Samaltau Tokyo Jazz Festival: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6ewg56fjtpmgNU Normally there are no vocal acrobatics in his native songs and I love them a lot. In every of this songs you can hear the great love and devotion to his country and his people. I love this song. This song is really special. You literally can hear the wind blowing, the storm and the howling of the wolf. Dimash sings this song so emotionally that you can almost sense the fears and worries this young soldier must have felt as he went off to a war that wasn't his. You also really have to hear another beautiful song in Kazakh. Qairan Elim means Holy Land and is a prayer and an expression of fear about the fate of Dimash's country and the world in general. The MV is fantastic and he even directed it. The man, Renat Gaissin (a Kazakh composer) on the piano is also a friend of his and he has also written songs for Dimash such as River Of Love, an instrumental in which Dimash plays the dombra, and the song Òmir Òter (Ode to Life). This MV was presented of the 30th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s independence. Also a must see but switch on the subtitles. A masterpiece. Goosebumps! Qairan Elim: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWWYopeIdq6Kl68 Òmir Òter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bofVdnmmqpmGbqM Òmir Òter 2021: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIvKap2Bh7N2fJo And an absolutely mind blowing bonus, if you think the Qobyz sounds is so incredibly beautiful and unique then there is a viyKZbin showing rehearsals for his Almaty concert in September 2022 on Qairan Elim. Olzhas Qurmanbek, who always plays the Qobyz in his songs, wasn‘t there or not yet there. Than Dimash sang the sounds of the Qobyz. It took me a a while to realize that this isn’t an instrument at all, it's Dimash‘s voice. At first I couldn’t believe it, but then I thought, Ok , it’s Dimash😄. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXKZnZmdhZhgmNE Greetings and love from Germany👋❤️

[@jetterdgard5125]

hej Adam good to see you back with Dimash again. You make good reactions. Dimash has developed a lot in the past few years and you have missed a lot. He made a song Omir to his Dears which he wrote both the musik and the lyrics for. Same low key mode as this one. he has performed it only with himself on the piano and hes younger brother at the guitar. This really highlights his vokal prowess in a low key manner. Also he has just performed a loveballad Angel love, also very very intimate and lovely. He has realeased a lot of his own musik the last year and has in the last months made a lot of duets with varius very talented female singers - Red moon ruels, Loose control (teddy Swims), My mortal life etc. You schould dive into that. Greetings from Denmark

[@janakelnarova6820]

[@shelbychesnut99]

Thank you for your reaction. Dimash has shared that this song is difficult for him to sing emotionally. Most of his songs in his native language do not have the acrobatics. He is a great storyteller.

[@dennismcdonnell7853]

How did you take sooo many years to get here Adam. Dimash has soooo many and diverse types of performances, and every month, more amazing performances keep on coming. He is destined, and this process will not stop. He is teaching the earth where to go in music and humility.

[@AdamStraughan]

I've spoken about this already. I'm back on Dimash now, loving celebrating that :)

[@marywebster2488]

One of my favorites. When he calls out, “Samaltau…” it thrills my soul. It’s incredible he can sings all those nuances while sitting hunched over and cross legged on a small stool’

[@bmorse68]

This has been my favorite song of his for years simply because of the folk like quality it conveys.

[@cristinaamilfeijoo8661]

Muchas gracias por vuestra reacción a nuestro Dimash ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nekanegutierrez178]

Muchísimas gracias por tu reacción!! Te gustará “Ikanaide”, es en la línea de Samaltau, te queda mucho por escuchar de Dimash, sigue creciendo!!

[@zemanoshtronz]

When Kazakhstan belonged to Russia (in mid-1916), young Kazakhs were forced by the Russian Empire to leave their homes and fight for many years until their total massacre. The story of one of these young people, who marches desperately into a war that is not his, as well as the sadness of leaving his parents, who are older, with no one to care for and the certainty that he will never see the mountains (“tau ”) of Kazakhstan again again spawned this wonderfully sad song! In addition to Dimash's talent, we have a wonderful environment and a fantastic musician: Olzhas Qurmanbeck, master of playing Qobyz (Kobyz, sacred instrument from Kazakhstan with two strings and bipolyphony)! A supernatural journey to the plains of Kazakhstan, through Music!

[@runtsgal]

This is one of my favourite Dimash songs even though it’s not one of his vocal acrobatic numbers. It’s sublime and yes, emotive too. Thanks for the reaction.

[@magofkemh]

Olzhas Qurmanbek plays the kobyz. Sanjay Almishev plays the sybyzgy (and rainstick). Beautiful instruments and fantastic performers!

[@debbiepenny465]

Dimash is beautiful throughout his ranges, but when he has a personally emotional song about his beloved country…… well, there are no words. He is incomparable when he sings about his country. It is wonderful to be able to listen to the story and the folkloric music. Dimash knows when to pay respect to the text and music. This song was not about him, or his abilities. Massive respect to this MASTER!❤

[@EllaSilentDragon]

Loved your thoughts on this song and performance! ❤ Even though there were no shocker notes in this, his intricate choices of tones and textures, make this still vocally difficult and demanding. And so emotional! ❤😊

[@marywebster2488]

And he does it seated!!

[@reneedevry4361]

12 performances down, only approx. 110 more to go😂😂😂 Great reaction👍 🥰🥰🥰🇨🇦

[@dennismcdonnell7853]

Dimash sang a song in concert in the Armenian language that he learnt in the 2 hours before the concert, called something like The Wind in the Mountains, and which will show you a very different side of Dimash. He likes to produce a song in the native language of his current concert, much to the approval of his audience. Samaltau is in Qazaq, and is about a farmer boy who was marching off to war to defend Russia, conscripted against his wishes, and wondering if he will ever see his parents alive again.

[@reneedevry4361]

I'll die for the Wind of the Mountains is one of my favorites. The visual video put together by Lilasi is especially good.❤

The atmosphere, starry telling and the moment we were going through, the quarantine, and suddenly Dimash came from his home studio with this two musicians to make us feel so deep and to take us to that mountain in Kazakhstan where the story had place …. 🤯 mind blowing!!!! Live the sound off the Qobyz which is the instrument to the left … so magic 🎤🎤🎻🎶🤍✨🙌

[@Jazzicca-ji1su]

👉 Because of the C-time, the annual Tokyo Jazz Festival took place online. Filmmakers verify that the videos have not been edited and manipulated, so the singer sings live. In 2020 Dimash participated in the famous annual Tokyo Online Festival with 2 songs: * S.O.S. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZWuinelprB_hpo * Samaltau - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXbcfayBjJKajbs Samaltau - names a beautiful place. In Kazakhstan, many women's names have 'Samal' as the first syllable. 'Samal Tau. A folk song with a story...' You can hear and see (in your mind's eye): 'The sound of wind and snowstorm, the howl of a wolf and the barking of dogs. The cries of flying cranes... The sound of the water… Sounds of Kyl-Kobyz and Sybyzgy. And a strong, young voice that sings with longing for his homeland. The rhythm is like the step of a soldier... The soldiers move further and further away from their native steppes and mountains… The cry of the whole nation, the cry of the mothers who accompany their sons to war...' (www) For Dimash, this song “Samaltau” has a special spiritual meaning. This song, well known in Kazakhstan, was written when the Tsar forcibly conscripted the young men of Kazakhstan during World War I (1914-1918). The young farmers became soldiers and marched endless distances. Many didn't know what to do in a foreign country. Their fields withered and their wives, children and elderly parents were left alone. The Tsar, and later the Soviets, invaded the Kazakh lands, harassing, recruiting and decimating the population. In 1934, after a great famine, only 2 million Kazakhs survived. Today 18 million people live in the Republic of Kazakhstan, 70% of them Kazakhs, 19% Russians and other ethnic groups. (www) - The first performance of this song took place at the closing ceremony of the Silk Road International Film Festival (2019) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnPPhJScn7CooM0 (with background information) - Dimash sang this song on the Tokyo Jazz Festival in 2020. Because of the pandemic, the annual Tokyo Jazz Festival took place online. Dimash sings 2 songs live in his home studio. * SOS - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZWuinelprB_hpo * Samaltau - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6ewg56fjtpmgNU * Dimash Digital Show 2021- Samaltau - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5-0k6B4a7CLg6c * Tokyo Jazz Festival 2021 - Ikanaide/ Please Don’t Go - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmO2dYmjiphmgck (Thanks to all Dears who helped to complete the information)

Hi, I loved your reaction very much. May I suggest another very emotional song, which Dimash sings in his mother tongue as well: The apple of my eye. Hogs from Hungary

[@argusholz]

That song runs through his veins. The player made the Kobyz (that violin/tchello like) sound almost crying because is a sad, melancholic though angry song complaining for when their country got virtually empty of young men when the russian Tzar ordered first that the horses and later that Kazakhstani men from 19 to 39 should be enlisted forcefully as soldiers and then driven like animals to fight, walking thousands of miles leaving old parents and children behind in a harsh land. From unknown composer, lyrics gives a clue about his origin: Samal tau; North of Kazakhstan; and a clue about his age: “born in the year of the cow” 1888. The author would be 28 y.o. when the first W.W began for him in 1916, as they count from year of the cow (1888) to year of the cow (1910). They use the Tengrian Calendar A song that could not be sung in the times when Kazakhstan was part of the Soviet Union Dimash took it back to big international stages.

[@Jazzicca-ji1su]

👉This bowl-neck lute played with a bow is an old Turkic stringed instrument and called Qobys or Kylkobyz in Kazakhstan. The Kyrgyz variant, for example, is called the kyl-kyyak. You can hear and see (in your mind's eye): 'The sound of wind and snowstorm, the howl of a wolf and the barking of dogs. The cries of flying cranes... The sound of the water… That is the sound of Kyl-Kobyz and Sybyzgy. 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. Difference between Turkic and Turkish - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqLbmad4msiJm8k ) 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. 👉 The flute called Sybyzgy - made of reeds or wood 50-70 cm with 3-7 holes, which is particularly common in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The instrument was particularly popular with shepherds and was used by storytellers. They went across the country and told stories and legends in chants and with music (Kui). There are many legends and traditions associated with sybyzgy. In these legends the instrument is called a "living reed", because this strong, hollow stem, makes amazingly deep sounds. The whole life of Kazakhs is imbued with music, it sounds in ceremonies and rituals, in everyday life and at holidays. Listening to the sounds of dombra, kobyz or sybyzgy, one can understand the history and culture of the Kazakh people. It was easy and fast to make a sybyzgy, but it was very difficult to play it. Sybyzgy kuis (Kui: sung stories) were most two-voice melodies: the first voice came from the instrument and the second voice was the throat singing of the musician-performer.(www) 👉 Rainmaker or Rainstick originally comes from northern Chile. Its origin is the very dry Atacama region, where it was first built by the Diaguitas Indians in the Elqui Valley and used for rain ceremonies. It is originally made from the copado cactus. Only dead cacti that are already lignified are used. The thorns are driven into the interior of the cactus. Then the rainmaker is filled with small pebbles and sealed at both ends. If you turn the rainmaker over, the small pebbles fall from one spike to the next. This creates a pleasant, even sound that is reminiscent of flowing water or the sound of thick raindrops. While in South America the medicine men wanted to lure the longed-for rain with the soft, rustling sound of the rainmaker, people enjoy the pleasant sound with its calming effect. The sound spectrum ranges from a fine, gentle drizzle to the mighty roar of a downpour. It 'rains' all the more persistently, the longer the rainmaker is and the more spikes block the path of the pebbles. (www)

Samaltau, significa Monte Samal, es una canción tradicional kazaja que habla sobre un soldado, que se ve obligado a dejar su hogar, para marchar a una tierra desconocida y luchar en una guerra extranjera, conocida como "La Gran Guerra" o "Primera Guerra Mundial". En 1916, durante el segundo año de la Gran Guerra (Primera Guerra Mundial), el Imperio ruso sufrió enormes pérdidas humanas y materiales. La carga de la repoblación recayó sobre las naciones sometidas. Alrededor de 49 millones de hectáreas de tierra fértil fueron arrebatadas por la fuerza a los kazajos durante la guerra. Los propietarios fueron expulsados a los yermos yermos. Los impuestos aumentaron de 3 a 15 veces. Para las necesidades de la guerra, el ganado y las propiedades fueron requisados en masa. Y finalmente se llegó a la "requisa" de personas. El 24 de junio de 1916, el zar ruso emitió un decreto por el que medio millón de asiáticos centrales, de 19 a 43 años de edad, debían movilizarse para el ejército y las brigadas de trabajo en el esfuerzo de guerra. Este decreto fue la chispa del levantamiento kazajo, aunque la razón subyacente fue la colonización rusa y la usurpación de tierras kazajas.

Salmatau means Mount Samal-The lyrics are life written about 1916 when Tsar Nicolas ordered young men aged 18 to 43 to go fight in the Big War ww1 the young man marches to battle afraid of what is going to happen remembering his home motherland and parents "the russian tsars and the recuiters treated us like cattle the did not feed us they kept us in unsainitary conditions the forced endless march of 1916, it is said that in winter they walked for 15 days to Omsk along the steppe, according to the Kazakh "Therefore out of 400,000 Kazakh soldiers recuited in the first months 150,000 died of disease and starvation . They gave us no weapons they fought with shovels against canons and rifles of the 400,000 kazakh 300 thousand did not return home. They marched endless distances. Many did not know what to do abroad. Their fields withered and their wives, children and elderly parents were left alone. The Tsar, and later the Soviets, invaded Kazakh land, harassing, recruiting and decimating the population. In 1934, after a great famine, only 2 million Kazakhs survived. Today, 18 million people live in the Republic of Kazakhstan, of which 70% Kazakhs, 19% Russians and other ethnic groups. The Kobyz (Kazakh: Qobyz) is an ancient Kazakh string instrument. It has two strings made of horse hair. The resonant cavity is usually covered with goatskin. The sybyzgy is a Kazakh transverse flute traditionally played by shepherds and horse herders, made of apricot wood or the wood of mountain shrubs. Length 600-650mm. The sybyzgy sound scale is estimated at 4 - 6 holes. The rainstick is a percussion instrument made of bamboo that can be classified as a shaken idiophone. The rainstick is generally used to create the sound effects of rain or, when shaken, a sound similar to the maracas. At the time, Dimash said that it is the most difficult song to sing, because of the emotional charge, because of the painful past that his people had to go through. He tells about the year 1916, where thousands of Kasajos were brought as soldiers. fight in foreign lands.

the story tells about the second year of the Great War, in 1916, during which the Russian Empire suffered great losses in life and property, and the burden of repopulation was placed on the shoulders of the nations involved. During the war years in Kazakhstan, 46 hectares of fertile land were forcibly taken, the Kazakh owners were sent to the arid wasteland, taxes were increased from 3 to 15 times due to the need for war lives and property, where enormous progress was made In the end it came down to the people's claim. On the twenty-fourth of June nineteen hundred and sixteen, the Russian Tsar issued a decree: "On the progress of the work of the foreign male population. The song Salmatau tells about these named events for the Kazakhs Samal, a gentle breeze, a mountain breeze that keeps the evening or morning cool. The word Samal is associated with something pleasant to wear. T Therefore, Kazakhs can often find a woman with the name Samal Tau, a mountain or a hill. Driven to desperation, the Kazakhs and Kyrgyz rose up in the autumn of 1916. This covered the vast territory of Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Troops were deployed to suppress the uprising. The uprising was brutally suppressed in Semirechye, Turkistan and Western Kazakhstan, thousands of people were killed, hundreds executed, hundreds of thousands were deported, and more than 260,000 people fled from their foreign homes in Turgay in Northern Kazakhstan. The revolution lasted until February and ended greetings from the Netherlands

Dimash says that this is the song that is most difficult for him to sing, but not in the vocal or musical sense, but because of the story he tells, which is the real story that his people suffered during the Russian occupation. Kazakhstan has been freed from Russian control for a relatively short time, just over 30 years. So the scars are still fresh. Dimash's relatives also died in the war and from famine as a result.

Adam, here is the link to the duet with Placido Domingo that you asked for in the comment below. Maestro Domingo invited Dimash to sing with him, and that was a big deal for Dimash. kzbin.info/www/bejne/morQdpahf89rqc0 There is a video of them meeting as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/imPUd3hplq6DZ7M They are both judges for a young virtuoso competition, so that's why/how they meet, and why they're performing for only a few people, the other judges.
