Thoughts On 'More Than Singer : Why the World Needs Dimash Now More Than Ever'

 Reading the article "More Than Singer: Why World Needs Dimash Now More Than Ever" from The Astana Times, I find it a deeply reflective perspective on Dimash's role as an artist. The writer Aida Haidar acknowledges Dimash's extraordinary vocal range and talent but highlights how his music is more than mere entertainment. Aida emphasizes his emotional depth and the power of his performances, which go beyond just songs—they become experiences that resonate with listeners on a profound, personal level.

Aida Haidar also touches on Dimash's ability to unite people globally, fostering a sense of togetherness through his music and his humble, authentic persona. The article suggests that Dimash's influence and the messages in his songs, such as the call for peace and unity in "The Story of One Sky," are especially important in the current world, which faces challenges like war, division, and tragedy.

In times like these, artists like Dimash are more than just entertainers. Yes, he knows how to put on a breathtaking performance — many of his fans who have traveled to see him worldwide will tell you this — but his true gift lies in his ability to deliver powerful messages in a way that feels organic, not forced. He is not an activist pushing an agenda; he is simply a human being — though to call him ordinary would be a mistake. His extraordinary voice carries a depth of emotion that is rare in today’s music industry.

The writer concludes by expressing that Dimash's music brings light in dark times, making his work deeply impactful and essential for the world today.

It's a thoughtful and emotional reflection on why Dimash's artistry is so important now more than ever.  I honestly feel that artists nowadays need to be more than mere performers.  They are storytellers, conveyors of meaning, history even.  They are social commentators... and if they hit the right vein, they will make observers say 'More, please... more. We need you.'

The Story Behind 'Daididau' The Poem and Folk Song

While on the Internet, I found an article about the story behind 'Daididau' and it's the most 'complete' I've found so far.  It makes for very interesting reading.  Daididau : From Obscure Poem to Worldwide Hit https://medium.com/illumination/daididau-from-obscure-poem-to-worldwide-hit-b25e2ea74dd9 Excerpt : "A Silenced Poet It begins like a fairytale: Once upon a time there was a poet who was very much in love with his wife. Her name was Zuleikha Kurmanbaykizi, and his nickname for her was “Daididau.” Distant cousins and teenage sweethearts, they had been married off to other people by their parents, as was customary in their day. Only after they both became widowed at a young age were they able to build a life together. This young poet, Magzhan Zhumabayev, dearly loved his homeland.  At the time of his birth in 1893, Kazakhstan was being ruled by the Russian Czar .... The Kazakh people, however, aspired to self-governance." In the article, the writer...

Dimash's New Song : I Miss You (Я скучаю по тебе)

Dimash's latest song premiered on his YouTube channel on 5 December 2020 and what a beauty of a song it is.  Simple lyrics and gentle melody but interpreted by the inimitable Dimash Kudaibergen! Song lyrics for 'I Miss You' Music by Igor Krutoy Russian lyrics by Igor Nikolaev ⭐English Translation (Thank you, Google and a kind dear) On the sunset shore is the place of our meeting, and a flock of birds is circling over the shore. It’s like the first time I’m standing here on the beach, but I don’t know. Where are you, who are you with? I miss you, your eyes and your smile. And here, for evil fate, I will come again to wait for our meeting. For someone it is so easy, for me it is so difficult to start my life from scratch. I can't do that. Here on the shore, believing and loving, I will wait for you. Where are you, who are you with? I miss you, your eyes and your smile. And here, in spite of fate, I will come again to wait for our meeting. Our meeting place is on the sunse...

'Shine Super Brothers S2' Program : Dimash & His Bros

When we first heard about the 'Shine Super Brothers S2' program, we weren't sure what it was.  Surely it wasn't another version of 'The Singer' for such formats were no longer approved under current Chinese government protocols.  Some said it was a competition with eliminations... others said it was just a program with artists living together and working on tasks together.  Yet other said it was a reality show where artists were put in a house together and then their daily interactions were observed.  It turned out that all these descriptions were correct, in a manner of speaking. Dears waited to see what would happen.   Well, I am not sure what others experienced but I found out fast that I had to follow the Youku YouTube channel (my phone couldn't handle yet another app), the 'Shine Super Brothers' official Weibo account and random Chinese dears' Instagram accounts because they were literally on-site and would share photos and videos of their s...
