I hope you had the captions on but if not, here is the story of this song because it’s important to understand its significance. This is a kazakh folk song. During WW1, Kazakhstan was part of the Russian empire. Kazakh men were forcibly enrolled in the russian army and tens of millions of hectares of fertile land were taken from them, as well as their farms and their animals, requisitioned by the army. This song is narrated from the point of view of a young Kazakh man who is forced to walk from his home of Samaltau (I think it means "beautiful mountain") to the Russian city of Omsk to enlist. He’s dragging himself on the way for 15 days, and he is afraid he will never see his homeland and his parents again. It’s a heartbreaking song and it’s one of my favorite Dimash performances. I’m not Kazakh (by the way, if i made any mistakes please correct me kindly) but his interpretation manages to make me feel like I’m part of his people.
Beautifully said❤
Thank you for your comment
Because of COVID, all performances for the Tokyo Jazz Festival were live-streamed. Here, Dimash is performing from his home studio in Kazakhstan.
I think Joel has said he prefers to watch the foreign language songs without the subtitles because that allows him to concentrate more on the performance than on the lyrics.
@@dougfriendly7676 Okay, but I think you may have replied to the wrong person.
@@dihathaway7076 Ha, ha.....You're right! Wouldn't be the first time.
For a rock-oriented song in Kazakh from Dimash, try Kieli Meken. It's good----really, really good! You might also want to check out his spectacular performance of the Kazakh national anthem at a major Las Vegas boxing match last September featuring the Kazakh fighter known as GGG. Even the fans of the Mexican boxer stood to cheer his performance.
Golden to!!!🇺🇸❤️🇰🇿
Awww...thanks for watching this one, Joel! You always pick such good versions. I LOVE this one because it's in an intimate setting and he just sounds so wonderfully primal. He does have another video of him singing in a more elaborate studio which is just as beautiful. This song is so beautifully reflective of his culture. Next suggestion? Something even more reflective and will make you consider what is important and how to value life. Omir Oter. It's such a beautiful and thoughtful song! Thanks for being the BEST! I'm so happy to see your reactions beyond SOS...and yes, you said Dimash PERFECTLY today! 😉😂 Here is the link to the song from his channel: ua-cam.com/video/8VrEFpu4S8A/v-deo.html
This is s beautiful song.
I'm sure other Dears will fill you in on the instruments. If you watch the Digital Show version of this, it is wonderful ...also, turn on the captions for a better understanding if you didn't already.
Thankyou for your reaction
Ahora estás descubriendo de verdad a Dimash, gracias por seguir nuestras recomendaciones. Te encantará Durduraz, con un toque más roquero, de su concierto de Almaty. Y si quieres ver a un Dimash pasándoselo genial en el escenario debes ver el cover de All by my self de su concierto de New York. Su rapeo en Be with me, con clara inspiración en Michael Jackson. O su obra maestra, The Story of One Sky. Dimash tiene mil caras, y todas son fabulosas. Saludos desde España 🇪🇦
Samaltau is one of my favourites. The Digital Show version is very different but just as good.
Loved your smiles of delight throughout this performance. I agree that watching this master play the sacred Kobys is breathtaking. I love this song. It is up there as one of my all time favorite Dimash songs. 💐💐💐💐🥰 Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦
Im sure you'd appreciate the 2021 live version of Samaltau as well.. dont forget to turn on the subtitles tho :))
Thank you Joe. Live your reaction! It’s always a pleasure to watch your reaction to Dimash. I’m a DEAR from Canada!🌹👍❤️🇨🇦
👉 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) - ua-cam.com/video/8BlSafjKujk/v-deo.html (with background information)
For Dimash, this song “Samaltau” has a special spiritual meaning. This song, well known in Kazakhstan, is sung about the harsh mass of people, about their suffering. It was written when the tsar was forcibly conscripting the young men of Kazakhstan during the First World War (1914-1918). They marched endless distances. Many did not 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.
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.

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.

Thank you for another reaction to Dimash! Love this song and instruments here! Glad you enjoyed it too. Digital Concert’s version (2021) is great as well.
Yes. They are different
Preciosa cançó. M'agrada molt la performance del seu Digital Show 2021.🎼❤🎼❤🎼❤🎼❤
Thank you so much for a wonderful reaction 👍😊
What singer do you know who can sing sitting cross legged like that??😊He's amazing❤
So far there hasn't been anything that this young man put out that I didn't like.
Thank you for reacting to Dimash, have you all a great day, greetings from Colombia
I love this song❤️Maybe it’s my favorite Dimash song. Or atleast one of the best.
Gracias por tu reacción Dimash siempre genial❤ saludos 🇪🇦
Gracias por reaccionar a DIMASH, su fuerza interpretativa es única, me tiene cautivada, su voz bella I inigualable, qué más decir, cariños de una dears chilena 🙋♀️🇨🇱.
I love the primall feelings evoked by this piece. The music is very stirring and thought provoking, it takes you places in your mind. I love this one so many thanks.
💞🦌
Thanks so much! «Samaltau» has been a top 3 favourite of mine since the day it was released, with this performance from Dimash's home studio being about as perfect as perfect gets, only more so - lol!
May I ask if you'd please check out another of Dimash's Kazakh language songs «Omir Oter», my favourite version being that from his 2021 Digital Show? (there's an official music video version too, but imho the two just cannot be compared - sorry, Dears!😉) There's something so mesmerisingly special happens whenever Dimash sings in his native tongue that defies description, but arouses addiction - and I *know* that's just not me, lol! ;)
Thanks again for sharing your reaction to my all-time favourite artist, and for spreading the word on his genius - it's been 4 years now since I first stumbled across Dimash on a channel much like your own, and had my entire musical world turned upside down! Sending much love and the very best of wishes, from a UK Dear - and new subscriber :) 💐❤️🇬🇧
Hola!!!Ese año el festival de Tokio fue virtual por la pandemia,el instrumento tradicional kazajo se llama kobyz.Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷
👉This bowl-neck lute played with a bow 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 - ua-cam.com/video/PqxhtBecVeg/v-deo.html )
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)
👉 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, that translates “mountain breeze” is a kazakh folk song - written from the perspective of a young kazakh, leaving behind his beloved natal steppe and his elderly parents, when drafted by force by the russian empire to shed his blood in the russian army. (a tsar’s edict in 1916 ordered males of non-Russian origin aged 19-43 from the province that the Russian Empire annexed in 1867 - that included territories of today’s Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan - to join the russian empire`s army ; this led to famine in the territories where the men were taken away from, and to a huge revolt against the tsar, revolt which was stifled brutally.
This is my favorite version of the song. It was performed during the quarantine from Dimash’s home studio with two musicians. The instrumentation and Dimash’s voice creates an atmosphere so mystical and enchanting that takes you to that place where the story occurred . Please note his meditation posture: sitting, crossed legged and think about how easy it seems for him to deliver those powerful notes 🔝🔝👏❤️🎤🎻 The gentleman playing the Kobyz is master Olzhas Qurmanbeck, the best player in Kazakhstan 🎻🔝 The Kobyz is the first stringed instrument ever. Kobyz is an ancient tool of the Kazakh people. 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. 🔝🔝
This, with other songs, was represented at the Tokyo Jazz Festival but Dimash didn't actually go there due to Covid 19 so the songs were performed in the studio.
Dimash Обожаю! Люблю!
As someone else suggested, please react to Omir Oter. Another amazing kazak song. Very thought provoking. and also Durduraz from his Almaty concert it is a folk rock song. Dimash rocks the stage. It’s amazing.
This is one of my favourite performances by Dimash, really incredible song
I love your reactions. You must see te version of S.O.S in the Tokio Jazz Festival singing in live...
Hi Bud, Great reaction and yeah the festival was delayed because of covid, was supposed to be on Dimashs birthday if I remember correctly but ended up happening a few months later with everyone live streaming, this being from his own studio at home. 👍👍😊
This was live streamed on the day of Dimash’s 26th birthday - he also did a live online Q & A with Dears the same day!
@@BelleNewman ah right thanks, I knew he should have been there to perform but I do didn't realize it was streamed same day. 👍😊
@@47foxy Yes - he worked hard on his birthday, lol!
Gracias por reaccionar al maravilloso Dimash y también por darlo a conocer a otros músicos!! Esta canción es maravillosa, y en el idioma kazako se escucha tan fuerte y dulce a la vez! Saludos desde México! ❤️💕🇲🇽❤️💕🇲🇽❤️💕🇲🇽
There are so many masterpieces by Dimash. I hope you continue to discover more. Everyone will surprise you in a new way.
Thank you RR for looking into more of Dimash's music
Dimash 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💞💞💞💞👌💞🙋🙋
Dimash's native language is "Kazakh." "Kazakhstani" would be a person who lives in Kazakhstan. ❤
Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
Another good one is from his Digital concert: ua-cam.com/video/QnQbmB6KXME/v-deo.html
Greetings and love from Germany👋❤️
I PRAY THAT GERMANY CAN TELL THE JOE BIDEN DEMOCRATS TO STOP TRYING TO CREATE WW3. GERMANY CAN BECOME THE SAVIOR OF EUROPE BY STANDING UP TO THE EVIL WARMONGERS: JOE BIDEN, BARRACK OBAMA AND HILLARY CLINTON. PLEASE CONSIDER THAT AMERICAN DEMOCRATS WANTED WW1 AND WW2. THEY NOW WANT WW3. WE NOW HAVE THE INTERNET TO HELP SPREAD THE TRUTH = AMERICAN DEMOCRATS ARE INSANE WARMONGERS. GERMANY HAS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD FROM NUCLEAR WAR. END THE UKRAINE WAR NOW TODAY. GREETINGS FROM AMERICA. PEACE AND LOVE.
Dimash brings the history of Kazakhstan to the world in a very beautiful way. 😊
Song is the view point of a young solider going off to war in 1916
Asombroso Dimash 💯💯🇨🇷
This performance is from another world !!Amazing!! 😍👏👏👏👏👏👏💕
Beautiful
This man is sitting like this and singing like this.? wow. Sublime is the traditional instrumental. As for Dimash's voice, I don't leave comments.... master peace!!!!
Samaltau is one of my favorite songs. The instrument is called a Kobyz or Qobyz which ever way you want to spell it played by Olzhas Qurmanbek who tours with Dimash often. If you've never checked out the song Stranger Olzhas also plays the Kobyz on that track too. Great reaction!
Here is a fun video by Dimash...... - ua-cam.com/video/50SonlJfIUM/v-deo.html Very clever too. Pay attention to what he is doing......coz its all him.
Another beautiful story from Dimash, a young man leaving to fight, not knowing if he will ever see his parents again. Dimash sings about important stuff, he is very connected to his land and ancestry..
You need to start looking at his musical videos.......just brilliant..
Thank you for reacting to the beautiful Samaltau in Dimash's native Kazakh. For a change of pace, please react to the Music Video for Be With Me!
I love this song, then i love all of his Kazakh folk songs. They always have a story attached to them, so have great meaning to the Kazakh people, often depicting hardships and/or sadness from their history.
Thanks again 😊🙏💞
The instrument is a Kobyz and the gentleman playing is considered the
premier Kobyz player in Kazakhstan.
Kazakh rock-ish songs from Dimash: Durdaraz and Kieli meken.
If you would share/show this performance , i wonder how people would receive it....i mean its like going on a guided meditation.
Thank you sooo much for watching this performance.
You have come to the inner circle of Dimash understanding with this.
there is another version of this song...with lyrics and cool computer graphics of the mountains near the lake. Check it out....
That instrument is called kobys, it is from Kasajistan and it makes the voices of animals, its sound is beautiful, it is used in the strange song. You must see this same song from his digital concert it is also impressive
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!
Gracias desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱 por reaccionar a mi Principe💜💜💜
I’m so glad you reacted to this. It’s a favorite of mine.
