  • My first experience of Diana was her cover of "Can't Helping Falling In Love" and it blew me away! I had a lot of recommendations and requests on what I should react to next, and "Rechenka" was the hands down winner. Come join me as I listen to it for the very first time...

    This is one of Diana Ankudinova's first immortal masterpieces -- she's absolutely incredible!

      Of course this is an immortal masterpiece, but whether it and the other three 2018 _You are Super_ performances were the first such is an interesting question.
      I think the "Joan d'Arc" music video that Diana had made a year earlier, when she was 13, is no less of a masterpiece ...

    In my opinion the best singer on the planet. Certainly, the most unique. These early contest shows are fantastic showcases for her talent. Very well arranged songs and great production values. The reactions from the judges and the fact that she's 14-15 are just... (chef's kiss)!

    This is an old ritual song about an orphan bride. The girl has no parents. The river was considered the boundary between the world of the living and the dead. She goes to the river and asks for the blessing of marriage. She says that there are many people at home, but there is no father and mother. You hear Diana singing in a whisper. These are the words of the deceased mother of the bride. Then the girl is crying. In Russia, at weddings they sang sad songs to scare away evil and the marriage of a young couple was to be happy. Such songs were called “weeping.” The figures behind Diana are spirits of water and forest.

    This is an old wedding ritual song, it's like a puzzle, it consists of phrases taken from ritual songs. Where it is sung in a whisper is like the words of a deceased mother, because in Russia since ancient times it was believed that the river is the border between the world of the living and the dead, as in the mythology of others countries. So the girl-orphan came to the river to tell the mother that she was being given away for the unloved, to a strange family, ask for blessings and cry.

    The song "Rechenka" (affectionate from the word "river") is a Russian folk ritual wedding song. There is a version that this song appeared before Christianity, and since early Christianity and paganism were closely intertwined, there are many versions of this song. It tells how an orphan girl comes to the river and prays to the spirits of nature. The song is about how my mother, father and brothers were killed by enemies, there is no one to take care of her. The river in Ancient Russia was considered the border between the world of the living and the dead. You hear an ominous whisper, it's the spirit of her late mother responding to the girl's crying.
    There are about 30 variants of this song, but the content of each of the variants is based on the sad appeals of the orphan bride to her deceased parents, asking them for "blessings" and help for marriage, for family, to strangers.

    Great reaction to the incredible singer Diana Ankudinová. She lives every song she sings. You felt it right in this composition, its meaning of the Russian story. Diana is an open channel to ours ancestors and to other dimensions for me. The Slavs were and are a spiritual nation, and Diana showed it in this composition, where she goes from the height to the absolute depth - we have that in the older Slavic songs of Our Ancestors. Huge respect and admiration for this young lady, I am completely enchanted by Diana. I can feel everything he sings, how he plays with his body, voice, emotions. I love the song Vorona ( I am a crow) she is a crow in that song, you just feel the spirituality and her voice will make you sit in your chair.

    👉Diana's rendition of this sad song is spectacular, mysterious ... great, a masterpiece ... every time! In one performance she sang this song acapella to prove that she was singing live without having a 'synthesizer' stuck in her throat or anything like that: - ua-cam.com/video/OGF5uhM69g4/v-deo.html.
    This is an old Russian ritual song: An orphan girl should to get married and goes to the river, the border between the living and the dead, and asks her mother for the blessing (mother's whisper) … The horses are in the courtyard. The guests are gathered and the wedding celebration begins. In Russia it is customary to sing sad songs at weddings to scare away evil. This is said to drive away evil spirits and bring good luck. Such songs are called 'crying
    * Diana Ankudinova first performance 2018 (spectacular) - Rechenka/ Little River- ua-cam.com/video/35Dwo4QVLqs/v-deo.html

    * Alla Pugacheva, a famous Russian singer, sang this song before, but completely different - ua-cam.com/video/1hJdZ8cyqDg/v-deo.html
    In 2018 Diana first sang this song in the singing competition 'You are super' (she was 14 years old).
    This international TV competition is unique in the world and was specially developed for adopted and orphaned children. It is designed not only to give positive emotions to children who do not have a prosperous childhood, but also to hope for changes in their destiny.
    Diana entered the competition 'You are Super!' in 2018 and 2019 and won twice. The winner of the season will be determined by a 6-day public vote and the final took place in the Kremlin Palace and her videos were uploaded to UA-cam and soon she had millions of fans.
    The project producers help the finalists start studying and encourage their creativity. Diana won a scholarship to the College of Music. Igor Krutoy, as a juror, gave her a small apartment in Moscow. So, she could start her vocal training with the best teachers such as Professor Olga Donskoy (She died of Covid-19 in Oct. 2020)…

    2020 Diana graduated from high school a year earlier with honor, as an external student and now, she is a student at the legendar Russian Institute of Theater Arts (Juilliard is similar to GITIS).

    Hi Melvin, thanks for another reaction to Diana - "Rechenka" is a masterpiece, Diana has recently been opening her concerts with it, but a cappella.
    I see you've also been reacting to Ren, Chinchilla and The Hu - all wonderful artists. In a somewhat similar vein to The Hu, you might like to have a gander at Otyken, who are a Siberian folk rock group, and from Japan, The Wagakki Band who are folk metal. Both bands incorporate traditional instruments. Also, Nini Music - folk metal from Taiwan.

    You are a river, my little river.
    You flow, ceaselessly.
    you are a child, my baby (*Mother whisper)
    You sit there and don't smile.
    Oh, sweet girlfriends, yes, my loves,
    Oh, there's nothing to be happy about.
    Oh, nothing that makes me smile.
    We have horses, the yard is full,
    And the room is full of guests.
    I have neither father nor mother
    No one to bless me...

    You are a river, my little river.
    You flow, ceaselessly.

    You might appreciate Diana even more when you learn a little of her story and how she started singing.
    Diana started singing at age 5 as a remedy for a bad stammer caused by her traumatic early years. She was abandoned by her mother (or taken away by the authorities) at age 3 ½ after years of neglect and abuse and spent 1 ½ years in an orphanage before being adopted at 5yo by a wonderful woman and her family who took on the task of rehabilitating her. It was quickly discovered she loved singing, was very good at it, had a good voice and a superb musical ear (and perfect pitch according to some). A very good example of her early talent is this rendition of the Beatles “Oh Darling” at 10 years old at a radio station during an interview after winning a local talent quest with the same song - ua-cam.com/video/B-ppbdPxoSA/v-deo.html.
    She is quite a remarkable young woman. I suggest you watch “Find Yourself. The inspirational story of Diana Ankudinova” ua-cam.com/video/uwlY1-hD_dA/v-deo.html which apparently was one episode of a series about notable people who had spent time in orphanages.

      @@melvinthinks There is quite a lot of detail, including from Diana herself, about the abuse and mistreatment she experienced on the internet in various videos/interviews. It is quite appalling. I am full of admiration for her and her adoptive mother who did an amazing job of rehabilitating and raising her.

    Greetings from Scotland! When Diana performed "Rechenka" (Реченька) at age 14, I think people around the world realised just how good Diana is at conveying deep emotions and feelings to her listeners! Initial releases of this performance didn't have multi-language subtitles, but everyone who listened to it understood that it was ancient and deeply emotional. She has an incredible ability to walk right through our souls and "educate" them! A very special young lady, a very special singer! You should watch again and put CC and subtitles on in English - but it may confuse you more! 😊 This is my take on the song ( two good friends translated and explained for me).
    *THE SONG (As Diana sings it here)*
    "You are a river. My dear river. You flow and do not splash."
    "Oh yes you are a child, my little child - why are you sitting and not smiling"
    "Our yard is full of horses and the living room is full of guests"
    "Oh, my friends, my darlings, oh yes, I have nothing to rejoice at and nothing to smile about."
    "I have no father or mother, no one to bless me ..."
    "You are a river. My dear river. You flow and do not splash."
    *THE STORY (which has many variations)*
    "A young orphan girl is being given away in marriage to the unloved. She goes to the river (a portal between the living and dead) to ask her dead mothers’ blessings for a marriage that will not be a happy one.
    The spooky voice is her dead mum answering back! The mood of the song changes and we hear her young girlfriends in the yard playing and laughing, asking why the girl is so sad?
    Then she cries uncontrollably. She is lifted into the boat to be taken to her wedding with resignation for a sad life."

      @@melvinthinks You are a rarity! Most reactors do little or no research and miss 50% of the fun! Bravo sir! I agree, captions, stage and backing music not required! Now Diana performs this at her concerts a capella and starts in total darkness! The effect is electrifying, to say the least! She is one of the finest a capella singers I have ever heard! Weirdly I can still hear a trace of music when she sings though - extraordinary!
