About

Freestailo came into existence when a young Kazakh man, presumably from a rural village, auditioned for the singing contest Superstar KZ. Armed with a dombro (a two-stringed lute), he began singing an original song only known as "Freestailo". The word "freestyler" in Russian refers to a DJ or a freestyle rapper. When translated to Kazakh, however, the word "freestailo" is born.

Spread

Eventually, Kazakh band R. Lizer created a full song based on the lyrics of Freestailo. The music video was passed around via mobile phone. Eventually, the video found itself a spot on the official TV channel of the administration of the President, Khabar TV.

A jumpstyle remix also exists:

The Kazakh version of KVN (a popular Russian comedy-sketch show, similar to Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Saturday Night Live) also mentions Freestailo:

Return

The Freestailo singer was invited to hold a performance of his song at the finale of Superstar KZ. This time, however, he sported a much better haircut and a pair of blue jeans, as well as a different dombro.

Kazakh lyrics

Фы-фы-фы-фы-ф-ф-ФРИСТАЙЛО!!!! Фы-фы-фы-фы-ф-ф-ФРИСТАЙЛО!!!!
Лака-мака-дам

Ойға да шыққан бүлдірген!
Қырға да өскен бүлдірген!
Айналайын қыздар-ау!
Қадіріңді кім білген!
Оқа-оқа уей!
Сүйесің бе?
Бәрін тастап, сен маған тиесің бе?

Strawberries emerge even on the steppes
Starwberries grow even on the steppes

Do you love me?
Will you quit everything to marry me?
