He is so awesome, isn’t he? Stranger is one of my absolute favorite songs. I get goosebumps every time I hear it. I’m a real fan of movies that have such a mystical or oriental atmosphere. And it was such a great idea by Dimash to use the Kobysz for that. The kobys is a very old two stringed Kazakh folk instrument and, like the dombra, very widespread among Kazakhs. The man who often plays the Kobys in Dimash's performances (like here in Stranger) is the best on the instrument and a very good friend of Dimash's. His name is Olzhas Qurmanbek. This instrument can often be heard when Dimash sings songs in his native language such as Samaltau, Qairan Elim or Òmir Òter. He sang Stranger for the first time at New Wave in Sochi, Russia in 2021. This is an international competition for young artists, founded in 2002 by Igor Krutoy. Dimash sang here as a guest and was also a member of the jury. Igor Krutoy, like so many other masterpieces, wrote this song specifically for Dimash and his incredible vocal range. And the last note he held for 20 seconds. Igor Krutoy is a famous Russian-Ukrainian composer, producer and songwriter. He came out of retirement specifically to work with Dimash when he first heard him. True masterpieces were created. He writes songs that only Dimash could sing with his vocal range (no kidding), like Olimpico, Stranger or Ave Maria. You'll often see him accompanying Dimash on the piano. If Igor Krutoy is there, the song was also written by him. The two have no contract. Their cooperation is based more on mutual trust. It's more of a father-son relationship. Please also react to his first song in Japanese, Ikanaide. Means 'don't go', Ikanaide has a sad but true backstory. Ikanaide was written by the Japanese singer Koji Tamaki in 1989. This song is sooo beautiful❤️. And he performed it with so much emotions. You literally can feel his pain😪. He has been invited to perform at the Tokyo Jazz Festival in 2021. But he couldn't go to Japan because of Covid. So he had to sing it from the studio in China. There he took part in the show Shine! Super Brothers. If the Japanese reactors are to be believed, Dimash sang in perfect Japanese. Some also claimed that it was better Japanese than many Japanese themselves😅. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btN9YMWhmramY2g.html Greetings and love from Germany👋❤️

Dimash, Igor Krutoy (Conductor, composer and producer), Yerlan “Erlan” Bekchurin (arranger) and Olzhas Qurmanbeck (Master in playing the Qoobyz or “Kobyz”, which is a two-stringed, bipolyphonic instrument of Turkish-Kazakh origin, very sacred in Kazakhstan): The Magnificent Four! We also have lyrics by Sharon Vaughn (USA) and arrangements by Dimitri Kontopoulos (Greece) and Yerlan Bekchurin (Kazakhstan)!

The instrument is a traditional Kazakh instrument called Kobyz . It had 2 strings made hour of Horse hair! Thank you for your fun filled reaction!👍❤️🇨🇦

' Son of a beagle' 🤣🤣 Exactly, loved your reaction Ken, thanks! Dimash is simply magnificent 💙💙 Please, please react to his 'Autumn Strong' from his Kiev Concert. A 'smaller' one, but oh so beautiful!

Thank you for appreciating Dimash.

Смысл песни для меня как для азиатки и землячки Димаша - Лоуренс Аравийский наоборот. Лоуренс олицетворял собой Запад, пришедший на Восток. Димаш же олицетворяет Восток, который пришел на Запад. Принёс свою культуру, своё мировоззрение, свой талант. И в результате - ошеломил и покорил Запад. Можно понимать и как Азиат пришёл в Европу. 🇰🇿

I love Stranger. This song is especially inspiring to Canadians as we often take for granted those displaced people among us and the courage required to start again. 🥰🇨🇦

And one of the most amazing features of this voice will remain unchanged - the ability to imperiously involve, drag you into its magical space...

Such a great reaction! Thanks. Musicianship is evolving and so are KZfaq music reactors……it’s fun to watch this symbiotic relationship twirl and collide. When Dimash came on the scene years ago, so many would not react to him just out of stubbornness or vocal snobbery, but if they stay with him , even reluctantly out of audience pressure, most often Dimash finally earns their professional respect. Watching the reactor change as much as Dimash does is an education and entertainment in itself. Thanks again for your journey with Dimash. I have been here all the way and learned much from your channel.

The Most Handsome Men in the World 2023- peoplesvotes. Голосуйте за любимого певца. Поддержите Димаша❤❤❤❤.. Отличная реакция👍👍👍Отличная реакция👍👍👍💪

Son of a beagle 😂😂 👑 Dimash ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Dear Ken, Thank you for your great reaction. It’s always a pleasure to watch your professional analyses and remarks as well as the appreciation of Dimash’s talent. A couple of years ago you reacted to Tengri, whose performance of ‘Heaven’ is so masterful. Could you please consider reacting to the song ‘Swan goose’ which is a collaboration of Tengri and Dimash. Greetings from Kazakhstan!

I agree Dimash is a hypnotic snake charmer when he sings. He has said that in order to get a hundred percent from his audience he has to give one hundred percent to his audience!

We get your point about how the song was sang. I say, it is a matter of style. Many times, singers differ on how to interpret a song and sometimes their interpretation is being influenced by the place they came from. But I love the song. It is apparent that in the beginning those humans who migrated to a different land were full of uncertainties about the kind of life they will be having in that foreign land. But in the end, they gathered enough nerves and made a forceful decision to go on and face whatever life they will have in that stranger's land.

Yes, Dimash has been getting up on stage with his parents, both well respected Singers, since before the age of 2! So, the stage IS his second home. The Kobyz is a very old 2 stringed instrument, originating from Kazakhstan and surrounding region and is one of the forebears of all our modern stringed instruments today. Originally carved of a single piece of wood ( often Birch, Willow or Apricot ) with strings of horse hair and the sound chamber traditionally lined with goat skin. In ancient times its use was restricted to Shamans and Medicine Men as it was believed that it's haunting sound had the power to drive out evil spirits and heal the sick. Stranger was composed by Igor 'for the voice of Dimash' { after all, who else on the planet could sing it!?} and it's performance premiered at this 2021 New Wave Competition for newly emerging young singers. Dimash was a Headline Act and Guest Judge. Dimash and Igor provided valuable performance experience to the New Wave young competitors by involving them in this, and also their Ave Maria pieces, as the Backing Choir. These two songs, and Fly Away were all new compositions presented at this event.

Dimash is the best singer in the WORLD and there are no doubts about that, his voice is a prodigy of nature and a genetic marvel since his parents are two glories of singing from Kazakhstan since he was 5 years old, he sings publicly and has more than twenty years of lyrical training and graduated from the university of music, he is a singer, composer, arranger and multi instrumentalist, he plays more than seven musical instruments and sings in more than twelve(12) languages, he is also a great performer and a great artist who lives and feels music He is not an imitator of voices , Dimash has his own style and is one of the forerunners of the "POPera" he also has a very pleasant, HUMBLE and simple personality, easy access, which makes it very easy to follow, he always travels with His family and friends is a very educated person and an example to follow, he has become known for his musical talent not for getting into trouble or scandals, It has a very wide vocal range of approximately 7 octaves ,he is a singer with a wide vocal range very versatile is Baritone, TENOR , Soprano, counter TENOR, mezasoprano, everything at the same time is how to have 5 singers in one, it has a male and female voice, also many resources such as vibrato, "melismas", falsetto, Staccato,whistle tone, reaching a( D8 )live "Outside of Piano"at the concert of Gakku in an unforgettable day, at his young age he continues to improve and grow musically to perfection, he has a good physical presence he measures 191 cm or 6 "3", he is very famous and recognized in Asia and now he is becoming known In Europe and America, ALL their songs are spectacular, it always goes from low to high, soft to spectacular at the end, in my almost half a century of life I never heard so much quality and it is the hope of continuity of the classical genre because all the old tenors have already Almost all of them died and Dimash can sing like them but none of them can sing like Dimash, being a Man he sings better than any Tenor and his female voice is superior to that of any average Soprano, greetings and a hug from USA 🇺🇸 "Dears" Forever ❤️ Sorry for copying and pasting my informative comment in ALL the Video reactions to Dimash what I see but I do it with the intention of sharing information about him and what I think that in the music industry there are many artists who have been successful and have no talent and are bad people and they do not set a good example for the youth, Dimash and his music deserve to triumph in America, Europe and the whole WORLD, do you want to have already read my comment please come by without problem there is always someone who for the first time knows this information and I won't get tired of sharing it with all my friends"Dear" around the world, thanks for reading and for supporting Dimash 🙏🏻S.O.S.

Dimash is an alien 😮

I love this song, the music is so powerful and Dimash is like no one. He can give it all to his performances, for me this is one of the best Dimash performances at stage!

Son of a beagle, Ken's out of youtube jail and he brought Dimash with him! Thanks, Ken.

Olzhas Qurmanbek plays the kobyz, great interpreter! Dimash had the great idea to incorporate this instrument into the song, he always enriches the arrangements 😊. Congratulations to Igor Krutoy for the beautiful music. Dimash is the best vocalist in the whole galaxy!! Bravo Dimash!! (again) 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

He has a beautiful way of pronouncing his consonants. They pop like little bubbles that burst softly.

Quobyz (koe biz) is the 2 stringed instrument. The bowstring and strings are made from horsehair and gut. Ancient and indigenous to the nomadic people of the steppes of Kazakhstan. Hi Ken ! Great to see you again !

We all love his vocal acrobatics but he sings many songs without them, that are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for always great reactions.

Yes Dimash sing with full of integrity at all time....

Hi Ken I was in this concert in new wave 2021 he was a judge for new singers he takes 3 songs out stranger fly away and AVE Maria he always takes you to another word the instrument is a kobzy thanks for your analysis 🎶🎵🎼

👉That is the premiere of this song at the New Wave in 2021. Maestro Igor Krutoy and Dimash Qudaibergen have created the really unique song in English with enchanting oriental melodies. “It was Dimash’s talent that inspired me to write this song, his immense vocal abilities and his desire to sing for a large international audience... I don’t see anyone else who could perform this piece in such a way”. - Krutoy said. (dimashnews) A Dear hits the nail on the head with this statement: “These are the voices of the world singing the tragedy of human migration forced by tragic circumstances.” At the piano Igor Krutoy (Krutoy means 'Cool', *1954 in Ukraine SSR). He lives and works in Moscow/ Russia. He is singer, a world- famous composer and music titan in Russia (billionaire). His family is in the US now. Krutoy came out of retirement to write songs for Dimash. The maestro and Dimash have been working together from time to time since 2018. They are friends and have a father-son relationship. Dimash said also in an interview about the collaboration with Igor Krutoy that it is important to him that the songs are written in such a way that there is room for variations ... so every performance of a song is a surprise and every Dear can choose his favorite presentation... I can not decide. The lyrics were written by Mary Sharon Vaughn (*1947, American musician, songwriter and producer. She writes hits for famous singers around the world, including Lara Fabian) * Premiere at the New Wave 2021 (Russia): Stranger - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oqyjdZh5u9TRg3U.html * Here, the often forgotten unique, spectacular, different version in China: Stranger - Shine! Super Brothers 2021 (China) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qs6Smsth1q_Xk30.html * 2022 Stranger, Give Me Your Love, Be With Me, The Story of One Sky, Give Me Love, Adai - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZlilLmmt62rnXk.html (Thanks to all Dears who helped to complete the information)

👏👏👏Thanks for your great reaction to this spectacular, epic performance !!! 🔥🔥🔥 One of my most favorite Dimash’s songs 💕💕💕😊😊😊 Maybe you can react to Ikanaide from the Tokyo Jazz Festival 2021. Very delicate and beautiful 💕💕💕

❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻 THANK YOU EVER so much from Sevilla for your words and emotions and respect to Dimash 💕🇪🇸🌹🌹🌹

It was a song festival in the resort city of Sochi on the Black Sea in Russia. Yes, it can be very hot in Sochi)))) But Dimash heated up the atmosphere even more.

Hello Ken, i realy love Dimash and his amazing voice ! Never in my live i hear a voice thats so amazing like him ! I love your reactions ! Greatings and love from germany ♥️♥️🥰♥️♥️🥰♥️♥️

"Son of a beagle!" Bless you Ken.

Dimash is one in a Billion. Virtuoso at its finest.

I love the respect you show to Dimash. The enthusiasm and excitement you have resonates with me because I feel the same while watching Dimash. He's unlike any other. Thank you for the vocal tips too.

Ken, thank you so much. As always a great pleasure to see your reaction to Dimash. Seems like you're now getting #1 vocal coach reactor to Dimash due to your frequent reactions. Please do it as often as possible.

My Dear Ken!……..THANKS for your reactions to Dimash!!!!. Stranger , performance at Sochi Russia 2021. Begin using folk arrangement like “KOBYZ“ beautiful Kazakh two cords instrument and his live singing is impeccable like always, soft, DEEP(C2/F2), powerful, crazy high voices(F6), amazing Arabic riff modulations, beauty melismas and a crazy end riff of 19.52 seconds(F#5)…..abrazo mexicano 👏🏻❤️🥰🔥🇰🇿🇲🇽😍

An interesting note: Stranger ~ composed by Igor Krutoy ~ lyrics by Sharon Vaughn. Sharon Vaughn is an American composer/lyricist who is in the Country Music Hall of Fame. One of her more famous songs is "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys", made famous by Waylon Jennings and again by Willie Nelson.

Dimash me deja siempre anonadada. Es un genio. Saludos desde Venezuela

Dimash and the composer of this song, Igor Krutoy (at the piano), often use archetypes in their music. This epic piece evokes the journey of soul (wandering in ancient times, haunted by memories, and lost loves ) as it finds itself in an expanded state of awareness (new ground, chance to know who I am, begin again). Hesitantly at first, he even stumbles a bit, but with growing confidence, Dimash takes us on a journey and with that last refrain, he totally owns this new ground. Like in many of his arrangements, Dimash incorporates sacred music traditions of different cultures and ages into something uniquely his own. The music of ancient cultures often used chants, overtone singing, and melismatic techniques to induce a hypnotic trance in the listener. Dimash is not only aware of the power of music to alter one’s state of consciousness, he wields this power masterfully, but always with great respect. His friend since his teenage years, Erlan Bekchurin, is a brilliant arranger and knows exactly what Dimash wants to accomplish. Together they create magic. Dimash insisted on the use of the kobyz, an instrument which was used in Kazakh shamanism to communicate with spirits, and it fits beautifully. The best Kobyz player in the world, Dimash’s friend Olzhas Qurmanbeck, performs masterfully as always.

It’s called a Dombra. Very cool instrument that Dimash plays very well too. ❤

Hello from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷 Thanks for reacting again to Dimash 🙏❤

Saludos desde España y Dimash es único ❤❤❤

Thanks another great analysis loved Dimash Amazing ❤

Hola Ken!!!Gracias por otra reacción a nuestro querido Dimash!!!Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷

Самая красивая сцена и постановка этой песни. Ну, а Димаш не подражаем.💖💖💖

Dimash es un animal en el escenario....yo diría un camaleón musical.....simplemente extraordinario.....Dimash llena sus conciertos ya que verlo y escucharlo en vivo los que han tenido la oportunidad de verlo en mismísimo directo es aún MEJOR.....su voz clara como un cristal...

Dimash is a story teller. Every song he sings captures your entire attention. Thank you for your reaction. Take care. ❤️🙏☮️

Hi! Dimash sings "popera" too, it seems be a new genre and maybe he is the creator. I love this cello behind you!! Regards from Buenos Aires.

Вы классный реакционер. Хотелось бы Вам , как педагогу поработать с Димашем? Очень интересно за Вами наблюдать. Спасибо за честность и эмоции . С приветом из России

So entertaining, so much fun, just amazing to hear him perform the songs made for his voice.

Hallelujah! Your metal month is over. Viva Dimash!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Good morning from California;) I so enjoyed your reaction- the best of the many that I have seen of Dimash performing Stranger! Your thoughtful, and enthusiastic, response reveals your professionalism and depth of experience. You are very charming- it is refreshing to listen to you, as you don’t lecture or talk down to your audience- you have a very personable tone and delivery which I find quite enjoyable. Thank you! PS- Dimash - aren’t we lucky to be able to experience his genius?! Dimash has hypnotized me, and I am under his spell. Have you reacted to Be With Me? Or Sinful Passion? Be warned;)

Si amamos a Dimash, no sabes cuanto lo amamos, no se puede explicar con palabras la admiracion y el respeto que nos provoca a todos los que somos sus dears. Dimash se lo ha ganado con su profesionalismo, su elegancia, su extraordinario talento y respeto hacia los demas, el es un artista integro y rico en valores humanos, que a pesar de ser el mejor cantante del mundo conserva su humildad. Muchas gracias.

Dimash cambió la música para siempre! Maestro de maestros!! No hubo ni habrá nadie mejor que Dimash, gracias por existir !! ❤❤❤❤❤

You are one of our favorite reactors. Not sure you have reacted to his new Spanish song, El Amor En Ti, but you will get a kick out of it. Also, his masterpiece, The Story of One Sky, his music video plus his performance of it at his Almaty conference.

Daybreak at Bastau concert is another legendary performance ❤ youd want to see it im sure

KOBYZ is the name of the string instrument. KOBYZ With 2 strings made of horse hair. The oldest string instrument in the world, from Kazhakstan. KOBYZ.. lol.. KOBYZ. This song is about re-birth.. 9 women and 9 men. Someone wrote that in a comment. I guess it`s thrue. Now the rumour say he has a range of 7.7 And the whistle tone D8, you can hear in his original song "AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY GAKKU LIVE VERSION 2017". He usually do a lower whistle tone but failed for the first time in the 2017 version, and instead the D8 came out of his mouth. Best regards from Norway.

The most incredible, talented and versatile vocalist in the world ❤❤❤

Esse Festival New Wave 2021 foi incrível! Música maravilhosa do Maestro Igor krutoy! Orquestra e coral maravilhosos! Músico Olzhas Qurmanbeck, com o instrumento tradicional Cazaque Kobyz é incrível ! Dimash simplesmente extraordinário! Transcendental! Incrível! Apaixonante! 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿👏🏿👏🏻👏🎶🎶♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷

Excelente reacción, creo que Dimash nunca es predecible en cuanto a que siempre tiene algo nuevo en cada canción.

Amazing Dimash!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤

Thank you, the instrument is called Kobyz! A 2 stringed ancient instrument, very old. Love your reaction and your happy face! :D This is epic. Dimash also did 'Stranger' at the 'Shine Super Bro.s' show in China. His vocals in the center are different from here and they are jaw dropping! He soon left the show because of rhinitis and where he had to get a procedure done. (that is why he didn't hold that last note quite as long as here) Here's the link to that performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qs6Smsth1q_Xk30.html

You always have the best analysis and reaction of Dimash.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you very much for a wonderful reaction 👍😊

Love this incredible song ❤ ( the instrument is a kobyz ) merci 🇫🇷

🙏🙏🙏Ikanide 🙏💞🇰🇿 Dimashs raw emotion in this song ...is so beautiful... Dimash we ❤ you👏👏👏👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The instrument is called a Kobyz

Dimash es fantástico 🌹💐💐🏵️❤️🇨🇷

Dimash-20 секунд!!!!

This song blew my mind and touched my heart. Beautiful lyrics, with a very current theme in the hard times we live in, especially countries at war. DIMASH AND IGOR CRUTOY, two UNSTOPPABLE geniuses. The folk instrument its called kobyz and the performer of the kobyz part is Olzhas Kurmanbek, Dimash's great friend. Thanks for your reaction

Yes, Dimash is sometimes "superdramathic". "Seeing Dimash is the same as seeing a tradicional Japanese opera". 😅❤

Last summer I went to see Lea Salonga (Broadway and Disney Princess fame) at the Rady Shell in San Diego home of the S.D. Symphony. The concert was a gift from a friend and boy was I glad it was a gift and I didn't pay for it ha ha! She came on this giant stage with a 4 piece band and a black curtain about 15 feet wide and 10 or 12 feet tall, just enough to give her and her band a "background"; no screen, no images, no lights - this little ensemble in on this massive stage in this giant venue - like something that should be more appropriate for a lounge. She stood at the mic and only moved her hands and arms or sat and only moved her hands and arms. Every song sounded like the last, same treatment, just different melody and lyrics. After hearing Dimash other singers just seem so novice or basic. Her dynamic volume range was so narrow, no effects on the voice at all, she never sang really soft and delicate and intimate - there was the same kind of quieter singing every time she sang her soft sections; and the same kind of loud singing in every climax in every song. By half way thru this BORING concert, I wanted to leave; every song was so predictable, absolutely NOTHING unique, no surprises, no originality - just singing broadway songs the way every other broadway singer sings them....boring 2 outfits, boring predictable arrangements. After Dimash it is SO hard to listen to anyone else, singers I once thought were "great", now just seem so simple, so basic, like novices, like listening to old artists from the 30s and 40s where the way they were recorded sounds so out dated, simple and bland and equally true is this description in regards to their dynamics and vocal range. Dimash is so exciting with the sound effects added to his voice, creating arrangements never dreamed of, using his voice in ways I would never even have thought to do, just a thrilling theatrical exciting dynamic unique original brilliant genius of an artist - with exciting set designs and lighting too......Lea Solanga and so many other singers "sound like...." just another broadway singer, like any other broadway singer....or this singer sounds like Whitney or Maria....but DImash sounds like no other singer, sings like no other singer ever has and likely never will be able to!! Such a new fresh original approach to music and it is so very refreshing and thrilling!

You can expect his English to be much better because he won a scholarship to learn directing at a famous school in New York for a year. I hope you are as excited as I am to see how well his diction will be since he’s been in New York since the end of last year. I’m sure the NY Film School is making accommodations as he still continues to sing at special events during the year. It will be exciting to see his hand as he begins to direct more of his own videos. You can also see that in the process of him earning his PhD in his country, you can see him using folk song techniques that haven’t been seen in decades and possibly centuries such as when he bounces notes off his vocal cords. We are beginning to see hints of his new (or really old & lost techniques) that he brings to the stage. We will soon be in for some incredible vocal techniques. I personally can’t wait to hear the things he’s recently mastered. I just hope more people realize how lucky we are to have such a special singer, composer and director - a talent only seen once in a generation or two.

Amazing reaction. Thank you very much. ❤ I don't want you to be confused about the meaning of this song. It took us, his fans, a long time to decode his message. ''Stranger'' is a rebirth. Reincarnation. Celebrating the coming of new life. ''Stranger'' is the first masterpiece of the Dimash's trilogy. That's how I call it.😉😁 It symbolizes rebirth. This performance is full of symbols. Everything - the music, his voice, his movements, lyrics, the whole staging, the lights, the slowly moving light circle behind Dimash at the very beginning, absolutely everything you see and hear symbolizes the whole birth process, from the beginning to the end. At the beginning 9 man and 9 women carry candles /the small light of life/. They hide Dimash. The spinning orb of light behind him in the background shows the deep space from where our souls arrive. The crazy melisma and high notes in the middle of the song symbolizes mother's pain. At the moment he was born, the candles go out and the stage goes on fire. His fist punch and coming to the front of the stage means he was born. His longest note at the end shows his very first breath and it means I've ARIVED. Absolutely mind blowing performance. The second one - Fly Away, is our life path, the matrix in which we live. The spinning globe at the back ground all the time, shows the scale of this matrix. Again, everything in this performance is full of symbols - the creepy zombies at the begining, the dancers movements, Dimash's movements, the lyrics... Everything evokes the feeling of rebellion. Dimash fights with this matrix and he desperately wish to escape of it. He is the only one who refuse to dance the matrix dance. The Matrix tries to seduce him, but he fights the temptation and wants to fly away to find his own way. He finally manages to escape and witnesses the death of everyone left in it. And the final song of this trilogy is Ave Maria. That's our soul's fly to the heaven. Absolutely stunning masterpiece . A phenomenal trilogy. Phenomenal Dimash. He is a very deep and wise soul. His songs are always very meaningful and the messages he sends to people are extremely strong. Not only his voice, the lyrics and his body movements paint the picture of the message, but the stage setting and atmosphere are also part of the concept of the idea of a complete performance. He is Broadway.

Dimash is simply amazing. Did you happen to notice that the choir is following the Kobysz lead? Every time I hear this song, I still get goose bumps.

Thank you so much for your genuine reaction to Dimash! Stranger is his original song, composed specifically for him by Maestro Igor Krutoy (the man who accompanied him on the piano in the video). It was Dimash’s idea to incorporate the beautiful and haunting sound of the Qobyz, the traditional Kazakh two string instrument, masterfully played by Olzhas Kurmanbek: what a brilliant addition to the composition of Stranger! It gives much more depth to the meaning of the song. As you can see, Dimash is not the mere interpreter of that song, but was also involved in its creative process. Thus, listening to Stranger is in and of itself a musical journey where we’re accompanying Dimash through this “stranger’s land” with each and every vocal technique and singing style which denotes a different culture and path in life. I love how he uses his voice to tell us a story. Cheers from Texas! P.S.: May I suggest you react to those 2 beautiful duets? Of course, take your time and enjoy listening to Dimash with all of us!

If you count correctly, then 19.5 seconds, in fact.

Thank you so much for your reaction! I enjoy them!

5:24 "Park-n-bark" I love it. And I like that you noticed how Dimash's movements snake around to match the music!

DIMASH ES INCREÍBLE ASOMBROSO ÚNICO🤴👑🙋‍♂️💯

Hola Ken. El instrumento se llama kobyz. Dimash suda porque antes de interpretar Stranger ya había cantado otra canción, y este es el Festival New Wave, donde estaba como invitado especial y juez, y es donde estrena está canción. Debes ver su otra versión, cantada también en vivo, poco después de este estreno, pero en China, dónde participaba en un reality, Shine Super Brother, te sorprenderá. Saludos 🇨🇷❤️🇰🇿

Maravilloso,fascinante ese es el Gran Dimash

Dimash never sacrifices anything when he performs, he gives 200% vocally, physically and emotionally. He puts every cell in his body to work. His performances are sensory experiences that everyone should witness at least once in their lifetime, regardless of their musical preference. From Canada🥰❤

I’ve watched the same reaction at least 50 times. I love Dimash obviously, but I really enjoyed your reaction as well! 😃👌❤️🇨🇦

Nuestro principe kasajo, la mejor voz del mundo, Dimash Qudaibergen el mejor vocalista de la historia , un artista con un talento otorgado por Dios Altisimo a quien regalo la voz mas bella del mundo, te amamos Dimash, bendiciones principe, tu gran corazon nos ha cautivado. Muchas gracias por su reaccion a Dimash.

👉 Here is playing the best Kobys player in the world, Dimash’s friend Olzhas Qurmanbeck. This bowl-neck lute played with a bow is is an old Turkic stringed instrument and called Kobys, Qobyz 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 mother (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 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hteom9dzysm6lZs.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.

Dimash is incredible. Thanks for the reaction. I always feel good watching Dimash

#fromPhilippineswithlove 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭love so much Angel Dear Dimash

I can think of some very good singers who just stand there and sing. Part of Dimash’s appeal is his “performance” of every song. He’s like no other. He also sang another song before he sang this one…therefore a little perspiration. He puts everything into his performances.

Thank you very much my dear Ken for your thrilling reaction an analysis.I haven't gone through all the comments made here so I take the liberty of telling you that the traditional Kazakh musical instrument is "Kobysz" in case nobody told you the instrument's name.Dimash is extremely magnificent in everything he has done in his singing performance.He just started to learn English a few years before,and yet he can sing beautifully in English.That's why I adore him for his vocal capability and the way he could hold the extended ending for about 16-17 seconds .Extraordinary.Bravo..!! Let me say also that you've got a beautiful voice,Ken.

its called kobyz

Un tema brutal , puesta de escena bárbara , música muy buena coro fantástico Dimash maravilloso y magistral su voz y colores son únicos , el mejor del mundo

The best, the best, the best singer, vocalist on the planet! Unique!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow Dimash is amazing. I love him more and more. ❤❤❤❤

The Beast has risen.

I love your reactions. Dimash my no 1 and Dan Vasc now. Please please please react to Dan . He is a metal singer but also classically trained like dimash. Please listen to him singing Amazing grace with a powerful ending. Then also his Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar. He absolutely lives the role.

Dmash ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️❤️🙏❤️

I subscribe, of course. You have great reactions and a terrific voice yourself. I love your Dimash reactions and among more, the Gordon McCrae video. 🎵❤️❤️

Every time I see and hear this I get chills. I think it's my favourite performance of his. I love the oriental feel of it and I love the way he punches the air with the microphone when he shifts into the key change.
