Juilliard trained opera singer reacts to The HU singing Wolf Totem (Official Music Video). 🎶❤️

The HU is a metal folk band from Mongolia that blends western rock and traditional Mongolian music and throat singing. The band’s name The HU, is the Mongolian root word for human being. They call their style “Hunnu Rock”…inspired by the Hunnu, an ancient Mongolian empire, known as The Huns in western culture. Some of the band’s lyrics include old Mongolian war cries and poetry. Founded in 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia by their producer Dashka, along with the members Gala, Jaya, Temka, and Enkush.

I saw them live at the Norwegian Tons of Rock festival in 2019, and lemme tell you - them performing for a huge audience of vikings made the most powerful atmosphere I've ever experienced. By the end of the concert, ALL of us vikings were putting our fists in the air by the rythm and yelling HU HU HU HU HU in perfect unison, and the band was so humbled by the gesture. Probably the most powerful music-related experience of my life.

The 3-stringed "guitar" is called a tovshuur

The horse-headed bowed instruments are called morin khuur, aka horsehead fiddle

🤣 i love the fact that even opera singers can't help but do the head bob.

It's impossible not to do that to this song.

@phreak811 6 years ago

So this was actually a traditional war chant used by the Mongolians during the time of Ghengis Khan. It didn't (most likely) have music set to it back then but was probably more just shouted for intimidation effect and I am certain that many were suitably intimidated afterward. Hu in their language means people. So Hu Music is People music. Interesting stuff. They are a really unique band.

There is a very good reason why, even after a solid thousand years, mothers still warn their children to fear the Mongol Hordes. Their warrior culture has few equals throughout history. Even though in the Western histories we rarely learn much about it in the Eastern histories they are still feared and respected. This is a war song given new and modern life. That power comes from a very ancient place echoing up to this day.

Amazing performance, and a proud warrior tradition.

Thanks for the great reaction. As a Mongolian person i really like to watch foreigners reacting to our culture and music. Hope you all doing well. Be safe.

Mongolian is normally written in Cyrillic script, though they are going to phase that out apparently by 2025 in favor of using traditional Mongolian script (the way it was originally written). Interestingly, and I only learned this because I was reading about Kazakhstan after getting into Dimash lol — Kazakhstan is also phasing out writing Kazakh in Cyrillic by 2025, in favor of the Latin alphabet. And they actually had a proposed way of writing one of the characters in the Latin alphabet that they changed twice.. Basically it was like a letter and an apostrophe at first, and now there’s a specific accent mark for it. Shop owners had to change signs twice, textbooks are being changed across the country. It takes a lot of resources!!

That is almost entirely off topic, but I thought someone might find this interesting xD

I'm not Mongolian... but this video makes me proud to be Mongolian.

@amberdulay7238 6 years ago

The word you’re searching for is primal. Songs and music like this calls to the primal part of us that most of us suppress nowadays.

@MrBilldo426 6 years ago

This song is a call to arms. A battle cry. After many centuries of oppression the Mongolian people have become very strong and deserve respect for all they have accomplished yet oppressors still come. I give mad respect to the Mongolian people and I can identify with their core beliefs. “ Be peaceful when times are good, be tough when times are hard, and show no mercy when attacked 👍👍👍 I love this song 😁👍

I love the fact that you have actually researching and you are classically trained. These guys trained at the Mongolian Music Conservatory. Throat Singing takes years of training.

I've become (mildly) obsessed with this band over the last year or so. I got to photograph their shows twice last year, and there's actually 8 performing members: The four "front" guys, plus a standard guitar and bass, a traditional drummer, and a percussionist with kettle-style drums. I was fortunate enough to meet them for just a few moments after the first show, and they're all incredibly nice guys.

When touring starts happening again, I cannot - CAN NOT!!! - recommend enough for everyone to get out and see them. Their music is incredible, and it's so much better live.

Every time I hear this song, I want to to raze my neighbors property to the ground from horseback.

Dear MaggieRenee, try the band and the title "Yuve yuve yu"

When Mongolian Bikers decide to go old school and use music to intimidate their enemies before a battle :)

This song certainly taps into a an instinctive human rhythm. You find yourself rocking without realising.

There was also a particular style of throat singing that is native to the Northern Germanic tribes and the Norse. Heilung is a proto-folk metal group that uses that style of throat singing, and you will probably really love them.
