Thank you for reacting to the Son of Kazakhstan, our Vocal God Dimash. This song is about WW1, the Kazakhstan was under Russian occupation and Russia was compulsorily recruiting young Kazakh civilians to send to war to an unknown strange country to fight a war they didn't want to fight. The song is sang from a young Kazakh's perspective growing up with his parents on a peaceful beautiful remote mountain Samaltau with the anxiety of the threat of recruiting and when he finally is recruited he doesn't march into batle, he walks slowly, he doesnt even walk, he crawls (doesn't want to get there) and his thoughts are not on the battle but longing for his home, his beloved mountain and his elderly parents, wondering if he will ever return 💔💔

👉Samaltau (names a beautiful place. In Kazakhstan, many women's names have 'samal' as the first syllable) Mountain breeze Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake, What days await me as a soldier, You keep coming into my mind from time to time, My amazing homeland, where I was born and raised I wasn't riding, I was walking, Even slower than walking, Been strolling for 15 days In the direction of Omsk I'm at the age of two cycles, the year of the cow By the will of Fate, I went farther away Mountain breeze, my amazing country, you're left behind From the hollow field, we are the only ones I had parents, Of progressed age, Since this song was written, It's been 16 years. Mountain breeze, my amazing country, my endless lake, What days await me as a soldier

👉 Samaltau - names a beautiful place. In Kazakhstan, many women's names have 'samal' as the first syllable. 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 backround informations) For Dimash this song 'Samaltau' has a special spiritual meaning. This song, very well known in Kazakhstan, is sung about the hard mass of people, about their suffering. It was written when the Tsar forcibly recruited the young men from Kazakhstan during World War I. They marched endless distances. Many did not understand what to do in a foreign country. Their fields withered and their wives, children and elderly parents were left alone. The Tsar, then the Soviets, attacked the country and harassed, recruited and decimated the population. In 1934, after a great famine, 2 million Kazakhs had survived. Today 18 million people live in the Republic of Kazakhstan, 70% of them Kazakhs, 19% Russians and other ethnic groups. He also 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 Dimash also was one of the few foreigners who has been asked to attend the live online show marking the inauguration of the President of U.S.A. Joe Biden (2021). He was there as a representative of his country Kazakhstan and he was also there for his Dears from all over the world. He performed: * S.O.S. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXaQapmHiausl9U * Samaltau - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX3Vd6ZmjLernbs

Dimash loves traditional music and incorporates Kazakh instruments in many songs ❤️🔝🎤 The gentleman playing the Kobyz is master Olzhas Qurmanbeck, the best player in Kazakhstan 🎻🔝 Kobyz is an ancient tool of the peoples who lived in the East, including nomads. It was used in ancient times by steppe shamans-healers for various rites. Kobyzy is made from a single piece of wood. This is one of the oldest ways of making musical instruments in the history of mankind. It is not due to technical backwardness or the lack of metal devices. According to the ancient beliefs of many people, only in a single piece will the living singing soul of the tree remain, which will sound in the instrument. The open body and strings of the kobyz from a bunch of 30-60 untwisted horse hair give a very thick, overtone-rich timbre. The flute called Sybyzgy - made of reeds or wood 50-70 cm with 3-5 holes, which is particularly common in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The instrument was particularly popular with shepherds, although difficult to play, and was also used by storytellers. These storytellers, called Akyn in Kyrgyzstan, are a central element of Central Asian culture. They went across the country and told stories and legends in chants and with music, for example with a Sybyzgy. It follows the link where you can read in English the true story behind the song kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYfGpGqtoMuseZY ❤️🎤🌹🌹👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ohh thanks for the info and link ❤️

That is an ancient 2 stringed traditional instrument called a Kobyz. This song is about a young Kazakh man being pulled from his elderly parents and his home to go off to war. He is sad and trudging along and wondering what his life will be like as a soldier. As to being blocked with Dimash's videos - all you need to do is blur or cover the video. Then leave the link to the original in your notes for us. We will be more than happy to watch/comment/like/subscribe to you as well as go to Dimash's official site to give him the credit that he deserves. (and yes, I know how you feel and why :( ) Dimash every day heals many wounds and lifts spirits and gives us all hope. Thank you for your videos & reactions.

👉 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)

👉The 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)

👉This bowl-neck lute played with a bow is is an old Turkic stringed instrument and called Kobys or Kylkobyz in Kazakhstan. The Kyrgyz variant, for example, is called the kyl-kyyak. 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.

Hi Jennifer, the instruments are very interesting. They certainly tell a story. Unfortunately I have no idea what it's about. But it's very captivating. Dimash sings a little differently here than I've known before. But his voice is also very well suited for this. Have a nice weekend and Greetings from Germany
