it's the Daily Doug Hello everyone welcome back to the Daily Doug thank you for joining me today on today's

episode

my friends we'll make a world on Wednesday and I'm excited to be able to listen to this song we've recently been looking for music beyond. our usual media and regions here at the

daily

Doug and we did it especially with our recent fan favorite video on my patreon where we listen to underrated bands and songs from all over the world and I really enjoyed meeting those musicians and with this Focus on what we are undertaking . I have received many requests to highlight talented musicians from all corners of the world and one musician who continues to be in demand is deos cudai beran and I continue to receive requests for deos.

You have to do deash deos. Hi, you know? So today is the day we are going to listen to some music of God and I am happy that you are here. God is a Kazakh singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is primarily known as a vocalist and is known for having an exceptionally wide vocal range. The song that we are going to listen to today is the one that has been requested the most, it is a song called SOS and this is a song written by Michael Berer and Luke Plamondon in 1976 for a rock opera that they wrote called Star Mania.

Now I don't know this program. I've actually never heard of this program. It was written in French and premiered in Paris in 1979. There is also an English version called Tycoon and it was produced in 1992, so God, who is it? An accomplished and skilled musician, he graduated in 2014 with a major in voice and by that time had already won several prestigious singing competitions. He then graduated in 2020 with a master's degree in composition that also speaks to me, in the midst of everything he appeared on French television in May 2017 performing this song that is in French. He also took the song to a well-known Chinese singing competition that same year and these appearances on National Television really made his international career take off and so The performance we are going to hear today was recorded on January 16, 2021.

This is from himself. Dias' YouTube channel and streamed a concert called Deos Digital Show. What a great thing he was able to do here, especially since we were coming back or trying to come back from the pandemic, this is very early, January 21st, so there weren't a lot of public presentations going on at that time around the world, so does a digital concert called the digital, sorry, the deos digital show. and it's really been doing well, it's got over 17 million views on this song on this show alone, so I'm late to the party, but I'm here and I can't wait to hear Deos singing SOS Dunan and heartbreak.

My French is. He's no good, but that's the best I've got, so let's take a look and see what he's got for us folks. These are Deos singing SOS. Let's go to the digital program. I read that he had a lot of people working on this to make it happen. To achieve this, it's a B minor from five to one up to six lovely L dominants and then it opens up and catches my attention, so it starts from a low B and goes like three octaves in a successful phrase, great effects behind it too relatively older, great tall am.

Look like a shark, that production sounds like musical theater. Traditionally, the best pop songs are in musical theater. You know, it was a high C. SHP. Check it out. I think the low be is stretching the depths of its range. No, I think that was the highest grade. From all this, a high D, even if it were a more beautiful and heartbreaking song. I'm shocked, friends that really took me by surprise. It's wonderful, isn't it? Yes, he deserves all those praises he has received. I can say that he is highly trained. his breath support is perfect and when he switches to that higher range he has whistling tones for days, friends, uh, I have had the privilege of teaching at Westminster Choir College throughout my career and I have witnessed many, many, many talented vocalists and he is special. he really is uh that was fun thank you all so much for suggesting this.

I have to think that we are in B minor D major between relative M major and relative minor and I think the lowest note that you are saying was that b uh, which we would call B2 just a ninth below the middle CA and I think the highest note that says it was D6 so he went from B2 to D6 in one song that's awesome it really is so the lyrics here I'm H I have the English translation here it's great that we had the English translation in the video also in This song we hear a person who just feels out of place on Earth as a human and would rather be a bird, he says uh so he can fly and see and experience the world in a new way and did you see that special effect when he sang that part and there were like digital wings behind him that flapped and spread him out a little bit, that was really touching, you know?

This is a person who has never felt at home in his own skin and the SOS is a general distress call and he expresses his feelings and experiences to the world and really gets emotional. It's a wonderful tune and makes me want to watch. more on the show than it is because I had never heard of him, this guy is a talent, he is a real talent and obviously he has stage presence and he is a talented performer, but what I really admire about him is his technique, uh and his training and foundation in many different styles of music and languages, apparently he speaks many different languages ​​and sings in many different languages ​​and this training, along with all the instruments he plays, also allows him artistic freedom, freedom to create the art that feels driven to create and has really hit the international stage from what I've read over the last few years.

He has performed in the Middle East. He has performed in Europe, China and Southeast Asia for tens of thousands of people. people at a time and uh he goes he goes places so I'm happy to jump on the deos train here. I'm grateful for all of you who have written to me and told me: hey, you have to like it, you have to stop and drink. a look at what this guy is doing and I'm glad I made it here this has been a great world Wednesday so yeah uh deos uh if you guys have any other suggestions from him I'd love to hear what you have to say and where to go go later with him wonderful things thank you all for being with me in this world on Wednesday see you next time in another edition of The Daily dog
