Opera Singer Reacts to Dimash Kudaibergen (Daididau) - Dimash Journey #4

[@annestep6741]

Daididau is the nickname the man had for his wife. This is such an emotional piece. He is so loving to perform at his own concerts.

[@lorrainekeenan4440]

His goal has always been to bring Kazakh music to the world so when he sang this, I think the first time outside his own country he was overcome with emotion at the end.

[@206pappy]

I agree.. this is my favorite song from Dimash. Very moving.

[@kenhamaker]

I think having larger vocal folds helps him. I am not expert, but I do research everything Dimash because he touches my soul. Freddie Mercury had two extra teeth that extended his vocal space, I think Dimashes large vocal folds may be very similar in effect. The mystery of Dimash is that both of his parents where musicians, his dad an instrumentalist and his mom a famous khazak opera singer, he inherited talent in his genes, further he started training at age 5 and at a young age he was pitch perfect, he is working on finishing his PhD in music, and let's say he has a natural gift from above with all the hard work and passion for his trade, we are given this phenomenon known as Dimash, and the cherry 🍒 on top is that he is such a great person, charitable, humble, loving...It just makes him all the better. Seriously I would give him a big hug of love if I could. I admire him so much, and he has brighten my life since I first happened to discover his existence. I wish more people were like him, he is a bright light in an ugly world. That's my feelings and I think not just mine but many others, he calls us Dears and I gladly and proudly accept that title.

In this show, he is very moved, almost the whole show, just like the show in New York.

[@christiannebostaphbostaphb9034]

Thanks for your wonderful reaction. Dimash loves to sing this song. He is very passionate in sharing his country, and culture with the world. He was overwhelmed with the participation of his audience, when he performed in New York. DEAR’S from all over the world gathered together this past December and surprised him, learning the word to this beautiful song so we could sing this song to him. I was blessed to be in the audience at that concert. To see and hear him sing live is a unforgettable experience. It was my dream come true. 🎼🎶🎤❤️🇺🇸

[@radwigs]

Before I even listen to this reaction I want to say that I pulled up an article that was "40 opera singers under 40 to watch" and you were the first one listed. Looking forward to following your career.

[@wonderfalg]

True. The article says "Angel Azzarra, a soprano from Mississippi, was a standout as Donna Anna in Dell’Arte Opera Ensemble’s Don Giovanni in August. She has sung with quality and distinction in numerous venues." By the way. The article listed the artists in alphabetical order.

[@radwigs]

[@saidamanteyeva9790]

Angel thanksl,for detail analysis,we really appreciate it, please don't give up, Go ahead! But I would like you to see this song from the start,you can see a group of dombra ( Kazakh traditional instrument) players were playing it so awesome

Большое спасибо красавица Angel что прослушала именно эту песню в исполнении ДИМАША, и сделала глубокий профессиональный анализ. По твоим глазам видно, что Ты тоже восхищена ДИМАШем. Привет из Казахстана

[@user-rm4fu3sc2h]

This one is a sad one, very close to his heart. Has subtitles. And he went down in the end, in tears. This is from his solo concert, about 3 hours long. His kind of singing is also similar to Indianmusic, we too have a lot of middle eastern influence in indian music.

[@kartikeytyagi2330]

But Indians don't know much about such singers. Absolutely fantastic, he is the best singer i have heard,so far🔥🔥🔥

[@parnikaandpavanijoshi551]

Yeah it's sad he not known much in our country. Very few people know him. He is definately one of the best vocalists of his age today! Definately my favourite! Dears from india❤️❤️

[@ientropius]

[@7novalee]

I am not a singer or musician, but you are one of THE best Dimash analyst on KZbin. And beautiful on top of that. Stay awesome.

[@painetcirque5695]

I am persuaded to avoid the long click baiting videos commenting on Dimashi who seek to make a fame under the shadow of the performer. I took the time, however, to listen to your insightful analysis. It is, as a matter of fact, the best analysis, to my musical culture and abilities, that I have heard. It worth my time, indeed. I had come to understand the sport beyond what seems to be simply expressed by means of voice and understand that it is a sport in terms of the biology, physiology and anatomy of such wonder. I was able to see through your explanations the why and how behind the modulations, switching between voices and their colors, Dimash is able and capable to pour into his arts of singing and why such control and power is given to those whom are able to seize their talent and make sense beyond our knowledge and understanding. Thus, I understand why he is a miracle to music and how challenging he has become to every singer from ethnic to classical and subcultural style of singing. From how you portray the changes of apparatus that is behind the sound I understand the training, the further training and its sport -sorry to tell it this vulgar and for the third time- that cannot be wonderfully taken advantage of it unless one is conscious of his talent and make a wonder. Therefore my idea of sport that requires to get to such sublime and wonder stage of interpretation. Thank you for your inspiring and talented analysis you are bringing to us.

Thanks for great analysis...looking forward to more Dimash....

[@SonySony-oz5hs]

One of the most soulful and lyrical songs performed by Dimash (one of my favorite). There are also a lot of deep songs in Dimash’s repertoire, where he doesn’t demonstrate his vocal skills (War and Peace, Daididau, Samaltau), when you listen to them you don’t think about vocal, the main thing is the meaning and the lyrics themselves. Very interesting and informative video, thanks for the excellent analysis👍👍

[@jacquiemouton9053]

If you like this song then you will like Samaltau, but also Ogni Pietra and Passione. Thank you for another insightful reaction.

[@sakarijoenvaara1304]

Thank you, love all of your Dimash reactions.

[@kartinihanitio6010]

You're the first vocal reactor so far who explained about the colours and belting with the round sound on this song. I've to say that I don't usually like belting voice because it gets annoying to my ears, but I love Dimash's belting, as it's comfortable to my ears because of its roundness. 😊 Angela, I've always enjoyed your Dimash's reactions. Thank you!

Sooo thank you Angel for another intelligent and simply wonderful reaction to our beloved Dimash. The level of information you share with us is priceless. Daididau is my personal absolute FAVOURITE song from the repertoire of songs by Dimash.

[@SadieCo149]

I prefer the Singer 2017 performance. It is more intimate mostly because he was singing it to his grandparents (standing stage left) they taught him to sing this song. Grandmum is a singer. He was so happy.

"daididau" is my favorite as well! i'm often drawn to songs/performances that have great significance to the artist, especially ones that show the love they have for their country and people (something that i absolutely LOVE in dimash). i often catch myself humming it when i do stuff around the house, hah. although i'm sure there are songs that i'll love as much as this one, since i haven't heard that much yet. i'm trying to listen to him in small doses, 'cause i'm kinda scared i'm gonna run out of this drug quickly and freak out ;)

[@kracine9582]

You will hear much more "Arabic ornaments" in his singing as you move through his singing. Most of the Kazakh's are Muslim, so there is a very real connection to that style of music. Love your reactions. If you find it hard to find another non-singer songs to avoid strikes, I suggest you do Sinful Passion. Thanks.

[@AsifMahbubProtik]

I think Kazakhstan is quite a modern country, it's not extremely religious as it was a part of Soviet union and it's very close to Europe.

[@JustMyOpinion1010]

This is not Arabic Dear. I live in the Middle East. This is more Turkic in origin. Even the makam in Hello is Turkic, not Arabic. I know, it's a little hard to tell if you're not familiar with it.

[@AsifMahbubProtik]

I'm from Bangladesh, so to me difference between Arabic, Turkish and Parisian singing is hard to notice

[@seasonsgreetings2707]

@@AsifMahbubProtik Kazakhstan is pretty religious, if you look it up you'll see that about 70% of the population is Muslim, which is a pretty high percentage

[@AsifMahbubProtik]

@@seasonsgreetings2707 i was talking about fundamentalism, i am also a Muslim but I'm not extremist - there are some Muslim countries which are quite regressive , as much as I know Kazakhstan isn't one of them, their religious faith is quite moderate and free spirited.

[@floweroflife0306]

The whole story behind this song is very emotional. In other variants he's playing at the string instrument very professional at the beginning of the song.

[@jannie5173]

Great reaction. I love this song. It's so beautiful. Since you're on Bastau, which was his first concert right after doing the Singer show, you should do more from it. 😁 Diva Dance is awesome! Lol. And Daybreak!! That's an amazing performance and the song has such a sad story behind it.

[@ildanoch]

This song is very sad. A famous Kazakh poet was arrested for sedition. While in prison he was told his wife left him. The lyrics are poem. A plaintive cry asking why his love left him.

[@ruka_bm]

Yes. But he came free for 2 or 3 years. And found out, that his wife never left him. After this 2/3 years he came in prison again and was executed as traitor. Sad!! 😭

[@muratomar6502]

It was bad rumors that his (Magzhan Zhumabayev) wife left him...in fact she went to Moscow and visited his friends famous writers to help him to release, they helped and he was released but after one and a half year put into prison again and executed...His wife's name is Zuleikha...

[@Ginger_Cat2604]

Thank you for your continuing interest in the art of Dimash! Daididau is one of my favorite songs as well. The song and his performance convey the desolation of the broken lives during the Stalin times. As you have started with Bastau, he sings there one of his most beautiful songs - the Kazakh ballad Give me love (it was in Episode 14 of the Singer - the Gala concert, which is not reacted to often).

[@khoirulanwar8822]

I likes your reaction Vidio 😘

[@oliverqueen756]

There is a small difference between his version from The Singer and this one. But it’s understandable: at The Singer competition his goal was to impress the audience in 5 minutes ; while here, he has to sing a 3 hours concert, so it’s different, he must spare his voice.. I’m waiting for your reaction to Ogny Pietra and Passione ☺️😃 Edit: I really don’t like the idea that you are not allowed to watch in advance a song that you are going to react to! I’m not watching your video for you’re facial expressions, to see you ,,blown away” and super impressed! (There are literally thousands of that kind of reactions to Dimash on KZbin) No, I want to hear a pertinent and professional analysis! That’s why I highly recommend to learn about the song you’re reacting, about the story/ topic of the song and about the composer. Especially with songs like Passione which is a piece of art, that you can’t fully understand by watching just 1 time, there are just too many things happening there ! It’s like in opera, I watched Turandot or Traviata, or Aida many times; still I discover new aspects every time .

[@rex166]

And please don't use the Arnau Fancam version for your Ogni Pietra reaction. The sound is not super bad but it is much better in all of the official videos and there are a few you can find on youtube.

[@yurigonzaga3877]

I loved his melisma 👍👍

[@loveshoes9447]

thanks for a nice reaction to this beautiful song. 😊 😍 ❤️ 👍 😁😋🤩 he totally owns stage and audience, he has such presence, drama and emotion and really lives his way into the role and piece that he interprets, not only vocally but also as an actor and so focused and how he leads his voice to where he wants it. perfectly vibrato full-bodied clear warm soft and strong tuning, superb dynamics, resonance staccato crescendo colorature mixed with Eastern and jojk/yodeling and melissma. so much sound colors and harmony. this is just a few things to say about Dimash and what hes able to do. everything he does seems so playful easily. and he goes as easily with glissando from the highest heights down to baritone as he walks from the bottom up. his transitions are outstanding and fascinating. incredible volume control in transitions tone changes and falcette and mix. in the Diva dance song he makes glissando from F el G 2 up to breathless falsetto tone and then over to flasholett without adding strength. not to mention his belle canto. and that he makes chiaroscuro with ease (both dark and bright combined) he can really conjure with his voice. belting over to the chest and then head and whistle and down to baritone. the name of Ogni Pietra actually is Olimpico. it would be so nice to hear him take on Nessun Dorma. have you heard "Nämner du Sverige" or "Che Gelida Manina" by Jussi? im sure uve heard him do Nessun Dorma.

[@blah5087]

Unforgettable day (gakku) it's a must

[@Urgelt]

You've hooked me. I'm not any sort of vocal expert. Dimash stuns me, I know I'm hearing a virtuoso, but in my head, there isn't much to help me understand the nature of his craft. For that reason, I've sought the reactions of vocal coaches, hoping to glean better insight. And I'm making some progress! For example, I'm pretty well tuned into the nature of Dimash's use of dynamics. He has an enormous dynamic range, from breathy almost-not-singing to full belts and crazy mixes. He uses dynamics to create intense drama in his songs. He had to have gotten his sense of drama from his classical training; we sure don't hear much of it in radio-formatted pop music, which tends to be dynamically flat. Angel, you're taking me deeper down the rabbit hole, which is exactly where I want to go - explaining nuances I could not have understood alone. And you are sharing your sheer pleasure from his performances. I take delight in the sharing.

[@zhazirazhanali2376]

Thank you so much! Dimash the best singer. From Kazakhstan.

[@-R.Gray-]

If you watch the Gloria Wu version after the fact, the backstory with give the lyrics context. The same goes for Episode 8 "Daybreak". The vocally superior version is from Bastau, but the Gloria Wu version gives you the tragic backstory to the song. The Gloria Wu version also goes into how Dimash had lost his voice the day before having to sing, and had an injection to his throat. I thought it was Gloria Wu's intros that prevented copyright strikes. I do know however that her "Autumn Strong" is slower, and ends up a semi-tone lower. Both the Singer and Bastau versions of "Daybreak" are in E, but I guess for a vocal analysis Bastau would be better, and I suppose knowing the meaning behind the song isn't that important for that purpose. Some reactors do both the Singer and Bastau versions in one reaction. Or I guess you could always watch Gloria Wu's intro to the beginning of the song beforehand (use the "cc" button) on your own, and then react to the Bastau performance.

[@Santti.G]

That`s why I much rather prefer Daybreak at Bastau than Singer version

[@vincer9960]

@@Santti.G The best is to watch The Singer version of Daybreak from Gloria Wu's channel with enabled subtitles (CC)...then be shocked at how good Dimash managed despite being sick...then watch the Bastau version and be blown away.

@@vincer9960 Gloria also furnishes some backstory for both 'Daybreak' and 'Autumn Strong' - essential viewing if you want to understand why Chinese audiences react so strongly to his performances of those songs. The backstories themselves are compelling. I'll endorse your recommendation of listening to both versions of 'Daybreak.' Dimash sick = amazing, but Dimash = healthy is a whole 'nother level.

As always, your analysis is so in depth and based on physical explanations, fascinating ! His ornamentation is closer to Farsi music, which influenced the entire region. It's a very different kind of technique to middle eastern/north african melismatic styles. The Farsi tecnique is more diaphragm oriented than laryngial, so it's harder to execute.

You will hear this used extensively in his singing. As someone who has spent years living in the Middle East, I can assure you that a lot of melismas and techniques are attributed to arabic style that are in fact not. The makam in his rendition of Hello is a prime example. People immediately say it's Arabic when in fact it's Turkic.
