However this is a post to celebrate new talent (or rather, unknown to me until recently, talent!). I give you Dimash Kudaibergen (born 24 May 1994, so he is turning 27 today). Quick background from wiki:
He is a Kazakh singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is university trained in classical as well as contemporary music, and is known for his exceptionally wide vocal range (6 octaves). He was brought up in a very musical family and was thus trained from a young age. (I'll post a longer bio at some point. The main point is: He is incredibly talented, and exceptionally well trained and skillfull.) He rose to fame in China with his participation as a "wildcard competitor" in Hunan TV's The Singer 2017 when he was 22.
This was his first performance, S.O.S. d'un terrien en détresse. This is... possibly my favourite song ever, words cannot describe:
Same as above, but including behind the scenes:
(The following morning his life changed when he got 600 Million hits on Weibo the Chinese Twitter/Instagram, and he needed security guards from then on...)
I am... not surprised. I came across him about a month ago, and goodness but it is the most rewarding musical experience ever. So I figured I ought to share! :) Trying to work out how to go about it (there is a LOT of music) I thought that the best thing would be a 'Daily Dimash' segment in my daily posts. Like I used to have art works - something beautiful to balance out the depressing news. Starting with the performances on The Singer (there are 14) and then... well, I'll figure out a way to choose. Possibly just going eeny-meeny-miny-mo. But with background info where available (bearing in mind I'm still new to this, so might miss things).
( More SOS stuff under the cut - history, other performances etc )
