Our hearts go out to Dimash and his family as we learn that Grandfather Kudaibergen Aitbayev has passed away at the age of 82. May Love and Peace comfort you all in this difficult time. ❤️

The text is from an anonymous letter, where the soldier says farewell to his community around Samal Mountain. You could here the wind, the streams, the rain, the wolves, the dogs, the caravan of recrutes getting on the move and the mountains echoing the last farewell cry.. Dimash is tastefully and respectfully putting the message first, not intent on showing off all his vocal skills.

Dimash was raised in the traditional Kazakh way. When he was born as the first son, his education and rearing now fell under the responsibility of his paternal grandparents. It is the called "the return of the son". When Dimash started to be known outside Kazakhstan, he would refer to his grandparents as "Mama and Papa" and that would confuse people, unaware of this traditional upbringing. Dimash was brought up in the extended family tradition where all live under the same roof. The loss of his "papa" will be a trying time for Dimash and his family. I must add that Dimash's features are very similar to his adored "papa" .

Ones Dimash mentioned that this song is not technically difficult but … extremely emotionally difficult and it is a very important song for him! 👏🙌🙏♥️

When Kazakhstan belonged to Russia, young Kazakhs were forced, by the Russian Empire, to leave their homes and fight many years until their total massacre. The story of one of these young people, who desperately marches into a war that is not his, besides the sadness of leaving his parents, elders, with no one to take care of and the certainty that he will never see the mountains (“tau”) of Kazakhstan again generated this wonderfully sad song! In addition to Dimash's talent, we have a wonderful ambience and two fantastic musicians: Olzhas - Master in playing Qobyz (Kobyz, who looks like a violin), the other who plays “Pau de Chuva”! A supernatural journey to the plains of Kazakhstan, through Music!

I really enjoyed your reaction to this mournful song by Dimash. I learned earlier that his grandfather died today and I imagine he will sing a special commemorative song at his concert in Kuala Lumpur in a few days time. I will be there to witness it. You are right, he attracts a following as great for his humanity as for his music. I am going to his concert that I have never done in my life for any other artist I have admired. I want to be in his presence and feel honoured to be so! I am excited as anyone of any age younger than me at 78 years old.

This song is not about the uprising. It’s about WWI when the tzar of Russia took thousands of Kazakhs to make trenches in the front. The uprising was a consequence of that draft among other things. Someone mention in the chat that this song is not a Jazz song. Well, Dimash was an invited guest to this festival in Tokyo in 2020 and 2021. Both years where during the pandemia restrictions and he sent a video made in his studio. In 2021 he sang Ikanaide. Thank you for your reaction. Take care. ❤️🙏☮️

When you first start listening to Dimash, it's all about the range, the high and low notes and the ease with which he can move from one to the other. But the more you listen, the more you realize it's more about the emotion he puts into the music and how he gets lost in it.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Quadibergen family for the passing of Grandfather of Dimash today. A long and blessed life was afforded to him by The Almighty and he will be missed greatly by our darling Dimash. 😢 This beautiful song has a poignant story which is captured exquisitely by the video The Story Behind Samaltau, an animation of the story with Dimash singing. Well worth watching. Samaltau means loosely mountain breeze or cool breeze from the mountain. Kazakhstan has a long and very troubled history, it is the second youngest country and they are now celebrating their place of resting after so many many years of wandering and displacement. Dimash always does his country proud, he is a true blessing to his people. Greatly loved by us all whether Kazakh or not. UKDear 💜

This is one of Dimash's most beautiful performances. The instrumentation is out of this world: you can hear the sound of wolves, wind, rain, and more. Dimash's intensity as he goes deep into the music, and then the powerful vocals that tell a story of pain, of the young man who is forced to go fight in a foreign war, leaving his family behind, wondering if he will ever return. Dimash is so much more than vocal acrobatics, and this song shows him at his best. We learned today that his beloved grandfather, the man who raised him and who first saw his musical talent, has passed away. We give thanks to a life well lived, and pray for comfort for the family.

Dimash has lots of songs that don't use his full range. Not all songs need it. ❤

🇨🇱❤🇰🇿 Thanks for commenting how great Dimash is as a Kazakh man. He is not only a very good singer, but also an exceptional human being. Of course we love him and his land. Greetings from the south of the world, hugs from Chile 🇨🇱❤

Those were some of the best comments I've heard about that song and performance,, and as an obsessed fan of Dimash for six years I have seen virtually every youtube reactor's response to it. I will join in with the praise to which you refer simply by saying that all of the most important music of my music-obsessed life became far less important to me once I discovered Dimash. These days it's all Dimash, all the time.

Magnificient is the perfect word. I love this song despite bringing me to tears every time. 😭😭😭 With history like this, one can easily see why Dimash is so passionate about promoting Kazakhstan to ensure its survival and success. Roscoe, your curiosity and honest reactions are such a blessing. 🥰 Love and hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦

Dimash is a story teller of the ages ❤

The "music store" part are instruments that Dears have given him. He usually gets a folk instrument as a gift from every country he has a concert in. I don't know how, but Dears coordinate with his father to give Dimash special gifts like those. You can see that studio in videos his little brother is putting out now. 😊

Дело не в его диапазоне, а в умении передать содержание песни, пропущенную через сердце.

Love Dimash from IRAN. Thanks for this reaction

Сегодня Умер дедушка Димаша Соболезнум вместе

Thank you. This song is so beautiful and Dimash's heartfelt vocals are personal and moving. This song takes you to another time and place. It transports you. Incredible.

We absolutely love him and it has a great deal to do with the respect and love he pours back onto the fans. He never fails to show his gratitude. He never takes credit for his talent but gives credit to God, his family , teachers and fans. He speaks very warmly to fans who find him at airports, hotels etc, never ever having a big head. He sends the tons of flowers he receives to local nursing homes, hospitals and has donated large sums of his earnings from concerts at times to help people of his country with various tragedies. I believe I read at one time sending 50 tons of food to a region where there was an explosion? He does so much it is hard to keep it all straight and one of the most impressive things he has ever done is to quit The Worlds Best here in America because they pitted him against two young children. He stepped down from the show when he could have easily won the million dollar prize but instead held true to his upbringing and culture that says adults do not compete against children but encourage them. Money is not his goal. He genuinely wants to make people happy with his music.

Dimash has led me to understand Kazakhstan culture and history and it’s beautiful landscape. I love this song and when he premiered it during Covid I felt his pain. Thank you for reacting to Dimash.

It’s a folk song. Young Khazak men were conscripted, or forced to go fight in the war. I feel the anguish of being forced to leave his homeland, and his aging parents. No vocal gymnastics needed to feel the deep sorrow. ❤

Dimash's grandfather has died today. He was father for Dimash. RIP Kudaibergen -ata

Dimash is first and foremost a story teller

Many of his ethnic songs don't have the fireworks of some of his other performances. But they pull at your heartstrings all the same. More, actually, I think he is at his best singing the songs of his country--he reveals a glimpse of his soul to us.

Dimash is an amazing human being and deserved the loved from all of us. Dears from Malaysia🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

It's not one of his most flashy songs but it;s one of my favorites. It has so much (his)tory to it and you can actually hear the echoing mountains. I feel like sometimes I put the bar too high. For HIM this is "easy" but that does NOT make it an easy song. Such a underrated gem of a song! Your reaction is beautiful, thank you!

amazing Dimash.Greetings from Czech republic,Evropa

We Dears are definitely proud of Dimash, and because he gives out positivity with some peace and love mixed in, we respond back in kind. Of course, occasionally, there are overzealous fans out there. And I always say that if someone who claims to be a fan is spouting off negative remarks, they are not a true Dear.

Honestly, I always look forward to seeing another Dimash reaction from you. See you again!

This is one of my favourite Dimash performances ❤

My heart bleeds for the parents of the young soldier. I hope he had siblings who took care of his aging parents in case he was not able to return home from the war. By the way, I like Dimash's home studio.

Kazakhstan has a very painful past under the old Russia... And Dimash is an Old Soul - the perfect vessel for all that painful history... 💔💔💔🩵🩵🩵

This is story telling on another level. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song.

Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾! About your research: that's exactly what Dimash says Samaltau is the hardest song for him to sing. Due to the strong load of meaning and sadness this story conveys for him being a kasakh himself. Thank you!!

Dimash is loved and admired not only for his amazing voice and stunning musicianship; but also for his love of family/country/culture/fans. Add to that his integrity; his passion for world peace; his respect for all people; his generosity; his truly exceptional humility. What’s not to love?

Dimash loves almost every music genre and is so much more than only range. After 30 songs you even can't say you have heard and seen it all.

Dimash is very spiritual and patriotic. He is proud of his culture and promotes it through his art. He is well educated, well mannered and very principled man with high moral values. Maybe you can react to his interview, you can see that he is not only a great artist but a great person as well, that's why he is so much loved❤

Dimash is great I wash the videos every day .

Rest in peace Kudaibergen-aga.

Today we dears , are sad along with Dimash, for the loss of his beloved grandfather 😢 I found out through Dimash, that I love Kazakh songs, they have a sad and beautiful melody at the same time. Thank you for your kind words about Dimash. Greetings from Brazil.☺️ 🥰🇧🇷

Dimash had a very traditional Kazakh upbringing. He was raised by his paternal grandparents as the 1st grandchild. That contributed a lot to his humble character & deep love for his family and country. Thank you❤

This is exactly what makes Dimash so special at first you think it's only abt extraordinary vocal skills but when you dig into his works you start to realize what a great artist he is that he's not a show off who wants to show his crazy range all the time he is one of those few artists who keeps on spreading important messages through his music & embracing his culture proudly which is kind of rare to see these days

Dimash fantastic ❤

Огромное спасибо за реакцию на Димаша, он лучший вокалист и заслуживает внимания, но сегодня Димаш потерял своего дедушку и мы все Dears в скорби и печали 🙏💔😢😭🖤

This song breaks my heart. Dimash is incredible in his presentation. 😢

Здравствуйте, думаю, послушаю ещё раз, потрясающая энергетика. Спасибо за реакцию.

My favourite performance of his. It’s a great song. The song is the story of one of the young Kazakh men conscripted into the Russian Imperial army. It was written shortly after WW1. Very few returned.

Рада видеть вас снова с реакцией на ДИМАШа я очень Ждала

Salmatau es el nombre de una montaña y la canción representa la historia de un soldado que tiene que abandonar todo lo que tiene para ir a luchar. Es una canción "popular" kazaja.

I am totally in love with this song. Is beautiful.

Тогда, в те времена в солдаты забирали на двадцать лет, это почти вся жизнь.Димаш рассказывает историю о парне- казахе, который уходит в Россию, в чужие края, покидая свою Родину ңа двадцать лет.

Dimash sings what he feels and feels what he sings👌 Beautiful 💞🇰🇿

bravo Dimash👏👏👏👏thank you a lot🥰

Exatamente isso que você disse, nós fãs do Dimash somos fãs pela música, mas também pela personalidade, por tudo que envolve o trabalho dele, ele é um exemplo de vida no palco e além dele

Whenever you react to Dimash singing in his native Kazakh, you will understand this mysterious being a little bit more.

Dimash is so impressive in so many ways. Thanks for the reaction.

Dimash - Карагым-ай (Qaragym ai)

What I find fascinating is that you reacted to a song that is very relevant to Dimash's circumstances on the day you reacted. Thank you for the respect you showed to the song and Dimash.

Get so sick of the talk of range and octaves. Its not always about that. Its not just the notes....but how he sings them.

So Earthy. So Real. Absolutely supurb observations Roscoe

Exactamente como lo has dicho.....amamos a este maravilloso ser humano, pues más allá del fantastico músico que es, es un enamorado de su patria, con un respeto infinito a su cultura y a su familia. Es un ser de luz 💐💐❤️❤️🇨🇱🇨🇱

This is a beautiful song, Dimash's voice is a delight to the ears, the instruments are incredible, they sound so good !!!! In short, a work of art wherever you look at it. Dimash is a musical genius that has not been seen in centuries, worthy of praise and admiration, not to mention him as a person, there we have another long list to list.

One of my fave from him ❤

Many thanks for your truly emotional reactions to our Dimash 🙏🏻 I've seen all of them and I really appreciate it. And thanks for your warm words... Dears are always will stay with Dimash. Support him, respect and love is endless to him ❤️ especially today 😔🤲🏻

Пожалуйста послушайте песню QARAGYM-AI, он спел ее для покойного учителя, очень глубоко и эмоционально

R.I.P To Grandfather Dimash. i hope he nows how many of us are with him today. I love you so much for keeping up with dimash and his amazingness. I get so excited everytime I see you upload dimash content. I love ll of your reactions tho! ♡ This is by far one of my favorite songs that he's ever made. It's in kazakh anguage and about troubled times in his youth. ♡

MY CONDOLENCES TO DIMASH AND HIS FAMILY FOR THE LOSS OF GRANDFATHER KUDAIBERGEN.VERY SAD.WE ARE WITH YOU DIMASH.WE LOVE YOU.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Мне нравится ваша как всегда искренняя реакция, Спасибо 🔥❤️🇷🇺 Сделайте пожалуйста дуэт Димаша с Виктором🙏🙏🙏

Спасибо за глубокий анализ песни Димаша и изучение темы❤ Уважение от фанатки Димаша соседней с Казахстаном страны - Кыргызстана

САМАЛТАУ это в переводе на русский Горный ветер

It is simply because Dimash fights for love, for peace, for the union of people, he fights for our mother earth, which is the planet we live on. He fights every day showing his being, his joys and his anger, he shows us his honesty and humility. How not to want it? If even his name means "gift of god, with wings"

Esta es la canción que más le cuesta cantar a Dimash por el dolor que representa, habla de los miles de jóvenes Kazajos que debieron partir a Rusia a cavar trincheras en 1916, dejando a sus familias y su amada tierra. Dimash es un patriota que ama su folclore a su país y las tradiciones de su pueblo, esa es otra de las razones por la que los “Dears”lo amamos y respetamos.

Much respect to you for your time ➕️ thoughts about Dimash. He is a beautiful soul inside & out. I honestly have not gotten tired of him OR felt like I've heard enough. His 🎵🎶 his songs are so much a part of him( Always unique🔸️ different🔸️ not stagnant). He once said Something to the effect of ...at this point if U opened his heart it would be music 🎶🎵

O mükemmel bir insan❤

Hola Roscoe!!!Todos los temas tradicionales de su tierra cantadas por Dimash son hermosas,él es un gran embajador de su cultura.Hoy la,comunidad dears está muy triste pues hoy murió el abuelo de Dimash 😢. Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷

un grand merci pour cette belle réaction de mon idole Dimash c'est le meilleur de tout les temps et je suis heureuse de vivre à la même époque que lui car y auras pas d'autre voix comme celle ci dans 50 ans et merci de soutenir Dimash pour qu'il soit connu partout dans le monde. Continuer à faire de belle réaction de Dimash merci Line du Québec Montréal Canada 💝

Beautiful. If you like, watch the same song from the Dimash Digital Show . It is really cool.

We as Dears are indeed very proud of him not only because how much he loves his roots, but also the way he does it, with respect, promoting peace among countries. He is such an unique artist with a mission in his path (as he has said it many times in various interviews). I know many casual listeners think "hey, he is all about the range, the high notes, the acrobatics", but once you dig a little deeper you can tell what is his main goal in music. In his concert most of his songs are more "normal" and centered on the emotion that lies on each of them, and the meaning they have for him and his audience. Thank you for your reaction! :)

Grande y maravilloso DIMASH. Me llega cada nota que sale de su hermosa voz 🎼 Alimenta mi alma. Gracias por reaccionar a nuestro querido Dimash. España

Gracias por sus reacciones a nuestro amado Dimash Dimash esta pasando un situación muy dolorosa ya qué perdió a su abuelito quien lo crió como propio hijo donde lo formó con mucho amor y sabiduría, todos los Dears estamos acongojados 😔🙏🤲🕊️🇵🇪

Завораживают его песни, целиком и полностью, уходишь с головой в его творчество, проживает вместе с ним, все то о чем он поет.

What a Wonderful Reaction from you, and Heartfelt Comments...🤲🤲 Thank You.👌👌👌⚘Dimash has Always said that Representing his Country Well, and Honoring their History was Uppermost for him. He's a Remarkable Human Being. I'm SO Proud to be a 'Dear'. Thank You. 💕💕💕🤲🤲💗

This was recorded in Dimash's own studio and, of course, he will sing brilliantly to it, as always!!! This is a Kazakh song about young men being called up to fight in the war of 1916 when they had to walk for miles to join the war. A very sad tale, but true.

Occidente ya no tiene nada que ofrecer en música. Gracias Dimash por existir¡¡

I LOVE this song! Thank you Roscoe!!

Este instrumento se llama KOBYZ y es típico kazajo.

One of my favourite of him ever! ❤️😭 We Dears love Dimash so much because not only he's the most amazing, versatile, gut moving, mind blowing tear jerker Artist/singer I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.. but he's also a very very beautiful human being! Humble, kind, respectful, hard working, educated (on many things not only music), the cutest, loving, family oriented and grounded and I could go on and on and any dear here could happily back me up ❤️👌🏻 He's just a person that deserves to be loved and respected and supported and we are all his extended family ❤️❤️❤️ I mean come on he calls us Dears, his dears❤️ and he's just as dear to us ❤️

Today is a sad news for Dimash’s families and us dears. My condolences to Dimash’s families and friends. R I P Grandfather. 🙏🙏🙏

Felicidades por su reacción 👏🏻👏🏻 Dimash siempre nos sorprende y nos emociona con cada interpretación él respeta profundamente su cultura, sus raíces y de la misma manera lo transmite en sus presentaciones, para recomendar, Amanat, Adai+Daididau, una maravilla ❤️❤️💐💐🙏🏼🙏🏼 Saludos 👋🏼👋🏼🇨🇴🇨🇴

You won't get the same history from every source. I'm sure you know. There is a lot to this story.

❤️🇨🇱❤️🇨🇱❤️🇨🇱❤️🇨🇱❤️👏👏👏👏Nuestro príncipe Kazajo es un ser humano excelente...maravilloso ...orgulloso de su tierra ..amante de la naturaleza ..de su familia ..y de todo el mundo....además que es el mejor cantante del universo..gracias ❤️🇨🇱❤️🇨🇱❤️🇨🇱❤️🇨🇱❤️👏👏👏👏👏

Because we love Dimash. He made us wake up and discover the best in us. Simple humanity, but courageous, virtuous. Dimash loves his family, his land, his anthem, his culture, traditions and the struggling history of his brave, freedom-loving people. Dimash was born into a family that was powerful in art and was surrounded by artists, poets, writers and musicians, as you know, her mother is a soprano and her father is a music producer, all dedicated to the work of promoting the art of their country. He is an icon of the new generation of superhumans, a dimensional being. He has in him all the virtues we would like to see in all humanity. Hug from Brazil

Thank you very much 💖🇫🇮

Me encanta tus reaccionesa Dimash. Y todo lo que dices muy cierto. Es impresionante la forma como se expresa los dears de Él (me incluÿo). Por TODO lo que es y hace es un ser muy amado.

DIMASH a diferencia de otros vocalistas, no sólo canta, él cuenta historias, en este caso de su tierra, él se emociona y derrama cada nota con puro sentimiento patriota, aquí,. Y él así nos emociona con su grandiosa voz. Gracias, me gustan tus reacciones, conoces la buena música 😘😘

Primero quiero expresar lo mucho que lamento ésta triste noticia. Se fue su Padre Mayor, que Dios lo acoja en su seno de amor. Mis condolencias a la familia y amistades de Dimash, nuestro amado Dimash, que Dios les dé consuelo y fortaleza en momentos tan difíciles.😢😢😢 Estamos contigo mi niño bello. Gracias por la reacción. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱❤️🇰🇿

This video was filmed in Dimash's personal music studio. The studio is decorated in a minimalist style, but the walls are decorated with national instruments. This video was filmed several years ago, and now this studio no longer resembles a music store, but a real museum, as fans from all over the world give Dimash traditional instruments, some of which are quite exotic. ///////// Это видео снято в личной музыкальной студии Димаша. Студия оформлена в минималистическом стиле, однако стены украшают национальные инструменты. Это видео снято несколько лет назад, а в настоящее время эта студия уже напоминает не музыкальный магазин, а настоящий музей, так как поклонники со всего мира дарят Димашу традиционные инструменты, некоторые из которых весьма экзотичны. И таких подарков оооочень много :)

Amamos a DIMASH por el gran artista y maravilloso ser humano .💖💖💖
