Thank you for a wonderful reaction! He filmed it during the pandemic. It’s in his beloved Kazakhstan. Dimash was greatly affected by the grief this pandemic brought. Several people in his close circle passed away, including one of his teachers. So, you can clearly hear the pain in his singing and through his visuals. I am sure you noticed how everything was gray until the very end, where the green hills and the change to a major chord signify Hope.
This video was filmed in Kazakhstan, and in essence it is Dimash's experiences and his prayer for the fate of his homeland and the whole world. Dimash was greatly influenced by how many people died at that time from the pandemic both in Kazakhstan and around the world
The first part of the mv is actually taken (with full permission) from a Kazakh tourism film and talks about the long and violent history of Kazakhstan. Contrary to what you thought, this mv was made on a shoestring budget with Dimash himself doing both directing and some of the camera work. They hauled all the equipment needed into the mountains and lakes by themselves on ATVs and dinghies. Dimash is not afraid of getting his hands dirty. It's his creative mind that comes up with the ideas and brings them to fruition. You won't ever find him taking the Kazakh songs through the roof vocally. They don't need to, it's the same with Samaltau, Omir Oter, Zhalyn and Omir. All beautiful songs where the lyrics tell the story exactly as it's meant to be told.
Gracias por otra reacción a nuestro querido Dimash!!!Esto fue grabado en Kazajistán en época de pandemia,el instrumento se llama kobyz es tradicional del país de Dimash 😊Saludos desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷
Thanks for your reaction. The man playing piano is Renat Gaissin, a famous Kazakh composer, the author of the song (also composer of the gorgeous Omir Oter song), and the kobyz player is Olzhas Qurmanbek, who also plays for the song Stranger. The scenes were filmed in Kazakhstan, which has an incredible variety of landscapes. The lake with the trees is the Kaindy lake, near Almaty, a extraordinary beautiful place I visited after the concert that Dimash performed in 2022. All this region is breathtaking, with canyons, mountains, steppes, lakes... the concerts organized by Dimash in his homeland are an amazing opportunity to visit the country, which benefits from very good infrastructures and wonderful guides speaking English very well.
This song was written & filmed during the pandemic. Dimash lost two of his musical mentors at this time so yes, deeply personal song. It is all filmed in his beautiful homeland of Kazakhstan (hence the title) which he promotes at every opportunity (he is first generation of an independent Kazakhstan). Plymouth UK 🇬🇧
Thank you for your reaction. The instrument is the qobyz, an ancient Kazakh 2 string instrument. He features it often in songs from his native land. The man at the piano composed the music. It is filmed in Kazakhstan. This song represents the anguish felt during the pandemic when so many of his countrymen and women were lost. I believe the color at the beginning is washed out to represent the pain and sorrow. After the "sacrifice", hope returns and green appears.
This song was composed, literally overnight (as Dimash once explained), by Renat Gaissin (the pianist on the video) and himself, on his studio. It's was created because of Kazakh people suffering while covid pandemic, as they heard of so many people dying then. The long introduction is about the hard trials Kazakhstan has been through along history. All the landscapes are located in Kazakhstan. That Kazakh musical instrument is called Qobyz, with only two strings, originally made from horse hair. The Qobyz player is Olzhas Qurmanbek, considered "The Greatest Qobyzist In the world", who you were able to see on Dimash's video "Stranger". He always performes in every Dimash's concert. Olzhas also has his own Show, "Magic of Qobyz", and you can see his short videos here in UA-cam, on his own channel. Just amazing sounds and Kazakh landscapes. Renault Gaissin, is also the composer of some Dimash's songs like "River of Love" (instrumental, with Dimash playing the Dombra, and Renat at the keyboard), "Angel Love", "Omir Oter"(different from "Omir", another Dimash's song composed by himself) and, of course, "Qairan Elim". So here you have the name of some Kazakh songs by Dimash to react to. 😊❤️ P.S.: As Dimash recently said in an interview, every single song he's ever sang since very young, has always been arranged and produced by himself, no matter who the composer was. He also is the Director of his own videos, although he always listens carefully to the advices of the main Director.
Thanks Scott!This is of course shot in Kazakhstan...Dimash's Heart and Soul are embedded in his 'holy land' and his songs in his native language about Kazakhstan are the most beautiful in my opinion.The Instrument at the very Beginning is an ancient kazakh instrument called Kobyz,beautiful sound!I like Ren...but I love Dimash!You are absolutely right,this is powerful and painful at the same time.
The music instrument is Qobyz (also spelled as Kobyz) is a traditional Qazaq (Kazakh) instrument. At the beginning of the video musician's name in written is Olzhas Qurmanbek. The ntroduction footage (battle scenes, eagle and wolf are borrowed from the Qazaqstan national film company "Kazakfilm. From the moment where the Qobyz player appears and the rest of the video is all Dimash creation.
Ok, as I have been following Dimash very closely since 2017 I need to ad up some info abput it. It is sung in Kazakh obviously and yes the title means My Holy Land. this instrument with 2 strings is traditional Kazakh instrument called qobyz. It is one of the most ancient string instrument and strings should be made out of horse's hair. It was used in shamanic religion (tengrism, Tengri is a sky god) for calling spirits and emulatings sounds of nature (wind of the steppe, dogs barking, wolf's howling). In ancient times people do not played music for entertainment reasons - they were taught that certain freqiencies can connect with nature ans its soul. Funny that I have read recently that scientists disovered that plants communicate with themselves just by using frequencies. This lake with drowned trees was formed by an earthuake, when hills fell and water from show drowned them. this vide was recorded as I remember during covid season, that's why it depicts death and disaster. But of course as everything that Dimash does it can be understood more metaphorically. Going through life we alaways will experience bad things and pain. That's why it was shot in black and white. The end if the video is in color meaning hope. the same motiff Dimash used in The Story of One Sky when after all calamities that happened he shows a characted leading a group of people to a better tomorrow. Like he was saying it is all bad, but there is still hope. This is my little explanation. Greetings from Poland - Karolina
Opening soliloquy to Qairan Elim: "The Great Steppe... I praise your rich lands. Altai and Atyrau, Zhaiyk and Ili, Alatau and Saryarka - what expanses of my native land that has witnessed my happy years! I am talking about the Great Steppe - the golden cradle of the Turkic world. Hey, silent world! Do not hold your breath! You have descendants who never hesitated and did not stand aside during fierce disputes and confrontations. This land has an owner - a kind character and generous soul of whom could not spoil or break this changeable world with its distorted values. The Great Steppe has a guardian spirit, unknown to a stranger, incomprehensible to an outsider." This is how it was on the great plain of Asia. In this poetic gesture.. Dimash prays for all the world to come back, in the end, after the darkness has passed. We will suffer, but we will be tempered, and we will be reborn with the color of the mountains and the sky (displayed at the very end of this saga) in all their glory. Dimash is of great and deep thought, he prays for our earth. Dimash's prayer for humanity is both heart wrenching and exquisitely beautiful, all those powerful emotions hitting you, all at the same time, and left for you to ponder. Congrats Dimash, well done.. another masterpiece. Thank you, a heavy meaning indeed.
All filmed in his homeland, Kazakhstan. It was during the pandemic and Dimash lost people close to him from Covid. It’s a Prayer for the struggles of everyone at that time but it started with the battle scenes because the message was Kazakhstan has always had struggles, battles and strife but we can all make it through if we do it together. The instrument was the Kobyz. He has a lot of songs that don’t have a wide range. One of the most beautiful I think is a recent release composed by the same Kazakh composer as this song, Angel Love. ua-cam.com/video/wrkXbGeL2Ww/v-deo.html
The battle at the beginning interprets the many wars Kazakhstan has been through to gain its independence Kazakhstan has been involved in many wars and military conflicts, including: Kazakh War of Independence: 1468-1500 Third invasion of the Kazakh Khanate: 1509-1510 First Kazakh Khanate Civil War: 1522-1538 Kazakh-Dzungar Wars: 1643-1756 Bashkir rebellion: 1704-1711 Abul Khair-Neplyuyev conflict: 1743-1747 Kenesary's Rebellion: 1837-1847 Russo-Khivan War: 1839-1840 Kazakhstan was also part of the Soviet Union during World War II, entering the war on June 22, 1941, when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
May I suggest you research the relationship between Kazakhstan and the USSR before Dec 1991. Horrible life doe the Kazaks and Dimah was born in 1994 so shortly after Kazakhstan was given her independence. He is a fierce nationalist for his mother land, and knows the stories as his paternal grandparent raised him gave him all of the information of the wars.
Thank you for the lovely response. Dimash sings in his native language about his homeland, his Kazakh songs are all very touching and have a deeper meaning. It's definitely worth listening to them all. For example Samaltau, Daididau, Omir Oter and Omir and others. He uses classical Kazakh instruments such as Dombra and Qobyz in these songs. Personally, I find it very interesting to listen to a different culture musically. Over time, you will realize that Dimash offers an enormous musical diversity across different cultures, languages, and genres. I also like how different he sounds depending on which language he sings in. Dimash in Chinese (Mandarin) sounds completely different than in Russian or English. But a lot of emotions come through his mother tongue. Ultimately, however, the language is not decisive, as he conveys the emotions through his voice and music, and you understand it. The speaker at the beginning is not Dimash, he is listed by name in the information below the video. The opening sequence is actually from a film, I think it's from the Kazakh historical film “Tomiris”. The composer of “Quairan Elim” Renat Gaissin also made the music for this film. In any case, there is a special thank-you below the video for allowing this other film material to be used. Renat Gaissin is the piano player in this music video. The footage in the video is of course all from Kazakhstan, and these places are also visited by tourists. Dimash is regarded as his country's most important cultural ambassador and has ensured that tourist numbers are on the rise. At his two concerts in Astana in September, there were once again many foreign guests from all over the world.
El instrumento se llama kobyz, está confeccionado de una sola pieza de madera con dis cavidades, la inferior como caja de resonancia está cubierta con piel de cabra y sus cuerdas son originalmente de pelo de cola de caballo. Es un instrumento antiquísimo de de su pueblo y originalmente lo usaban los chamanes para alejar la muerte y las enfermedades

Сказать о Димаше, что он ,, вокальный акробат,, - это значит, что вы ничего не понимаете в вокале и не поняли Димаша. Грустно. Жаль вас.
Да,я тоже не люблю когда Димаша называют музыкальным акробатом!😡😡👎👎Американцы так любят все упрощать и приводить к каким-то стереотипам!✌️🕊️🕊️🌍🌍🇧🇾♥️
