Totalmente de acuerdo hermano andino. Creo y me voy a salir un poco del tema que el desacuerdo y polémica que a habido entre angloparlantes y latinoamericanos respecto a la representación y tono de piel es porque para nosotros no es descriptivo el tono piel como representación de una cultura o por lo menos no es de gran importancia, no me malinterpreten creo que todos estamos de acuerdo que una mayor variedad de tonos es lo todos queremos, pero eso es de menor importancia a lo que realmente importa en una cultura como lo es la música, comida , tradiciones , simbologías , mitología , nombres , arquitectura , patrimonio natural , etc . Esas son las cosas que nos indentifica y que nos hicieron realmente feliz al ver el trailer y ver como todo se centraba en el color de piel solo invisivilizaba el buen trabaja que a tenido hoyo y nuestro disfrute.
Honestamente, el hecho de que se salgan de México y tomen influencias de gran parte del continente, ya lo hace mil veces mejor que cualquier "representacion" que busquen hacer los de hollywood; hermoso escuchar musica andina, de origen hispano y caribeña junto a influencias africanas, es como una culminación de las diferentes influencias en la cultura latina, de forma separada, creando algo asi como un latam con mas influencia africana.

1st one feels like a classic sumeru battle theme, so very catchy, 2nd one is my personal fav, the vocals add a surprising and a unique touch, the 3rd one is a straight up salsa/dance battle. heavy Spanish vibes, LOVE ITTTT
@idkatthispoint-s9s It does sounds like a final version. However, every year when a new region gets leaked out, the beta will always release a midi version before they make some final tweaks or extra instruments/vocals on the songs which will sound very different or even better than the midi. I don't know how long you played this game, but you should look up the early chasm battle theme leaked during version 2.6 that was later reused for the Apep weekly boss, and you'll hear the differences night and day.
@@barrywest-allen3261 it was true until recently: Arlecchino's Second phase boss theme was in its final version in beta right away. Also, one of these battle themes (the second one) was used in a trailer, so that one's definitely final version
@@spymadmax584 huh, that's weird... As I remember it, Phase 1 was leaked from beta earlier and was improved afterwards, while Phase 2 was leaked in its final version later...

Well there's still have Yu-peng Chen's contribution in the song, like YPC created the leitmotif(?) for each region afterall, so its like hoyo got the blueprint for the song from YPC from the start. But yeah, it just not a major contribution for YPC anymore since he left.

@@Kiqu5557 It will never go down. Yu Peng Chen literally said he left Hoyo entrusting Hoyo-Mix to continue his legacy. If he trusted Hoyo-Mix. So should we.
And the third ost is the boss theme for the new wyvern boss leaked which feels like a dance when fighting it and it gives off some monster hunter vibes.
@@RoyalTfrii Interesting if that's true and that's a relief because I don't like the third theme. It's not made for combat against anything threatening, it's taking away any tension and serious. But if it's a theme made for one boss, now I can understand and I trust it will fit with the boss' design. Now that begs another question. Only two normal battle themes? I bet there's one last, unleaked, battle theme just waiting for us.
Yes, my south-american blood is on fire, hell yes i love this stuff Hoyo-Mix is at it again, making masterpieces after masterpieces.

I always believe that, for literary and artistic works, true diversity and respect are not about poorly imitating their skin color and hairstyles, but playing their instruments, telling their stories, and spreading their culture to every corner of the world.....
Culture doesn't exist separately from the people. If the culture is good enough to be shared so are the people that belong to it. It's really that simple.
@@jive7391that's exactly the feature of all genshin's music! They always take instruments and inspiration from traditional regional music and mix it with symphonic orchestra to create really original and appealing soundtracks. Music from other regions is also made like this and it is a banger
@@jive7391 violins, pianos and other popular western instruments are also used in Liyue, Inazuma and Sumeru music. And I don't think ancient China, Japan or Egypt had them either. (I don't know much about the instruments of Persia, India and other countries that inspired Sumeru, so I can't say anything about them). I don't see why hoyo would or should single out Natlan here
@@JhNvaro-jm8ww I was worried at first because some of the character's design reeks modernity. Like Mavuika's biker suit, or Kinich's Ben10 reference. It's good that the music department can distinguish themselves.
I think third one, it’s the most orchestrally based and kinda has that vibe with the trumpet coming into the end, the other two are beautiful but the voices are so unique it’d be interesting to see whether the London symphony would have the singers for those lol
Even though the 3rd one is my favorite by far, i think it's either the 1st or 2nd that'll be on the live performance, and I think the 1st one will be the one chosen, but I could be wrong
@@turtleismyreligion879It's not called that lmao It's just more pronounced in that OST people started calling that Because other Mondstadt OST (which released at the same time) also have that leitmotif.

@@schwarzwaldbrot8487 Not at all, Fontaine is very good, but if there is too much talk it is because Inazuma and Sumeru were so bad that it felt like a salvation.

I think that's bossa nova, which is Brazilian. Natlan dishes got leaked, and we have brigadeiros and acaraje, which are also Brazilian dishes. Iansan herself is Afro-Brazilian in origin because her name is close to the Candomblé (Africa diaspora in Brazil) version of her orisha name (Iansã) So Natlan has bits of Brazil here and there
@@ghifariasoka8272 yess and also Xilonen, her name is aztec but her design is inspired by brazilian culture! And yes as a brazilian I agree, even though I don't exactly know which genre of brazilian music, I even showed the song to my parents and they were like yeah this is obviously very brazilian. I loved it so much.
@@brenubs there are also still Aztec portions of her design, as we know Hoyo likes to mix cultures: her obsidian earings, turquoise gems, gold bracelets, and the fact that the leopard was a very sacred animal to the Aztecs.
@@morsus3097 interesting! Also in my opinion the gold bracelets and her being a jaguar can be interpreted as both brazilian and aztec. Here the jaguar is an important animal too, also fun fact the word jaguar comes from tupi, one of the native brazilian languages. * reminder: I'm not trying to deny her aztec references, like you said hoyo likes mixing cultures, and like I said earlier, those two parts of her design can be interpreted as both cultures, I'm just trying to discuss things and add more information because I'm from Brazil and I loved her character design because I saw my culture in her *
@@ghifariasoka8272 that is not bossa nova. They actually have bossa nova in the place that looks like a beach resort, This is actually fr samba jazz fusion. Bossa nova by definition is supposed to be slow, calm, saudade (feeling of missing something). None of the battle themes can be this by default.
I love how the first theme focuses on the culture of Africa, the second theme seems to be leaning more the Aboriginals of Australia, and the third theme is like traditional Latin and South American music
Stopped playing genshin after sumeru but wow, this music is great!. Genshin never disappoints in the music side of things. I love the African and Australian influences.
The opening instrument to the second song is a yidaki (didgeridoo) I'm pretty sure - an Aboriginal Australian instrument. Throw in a gamelan or something too and we really would be doing a musical zip through a good chunk of the southern hemisphere
@@krazy167 All good - I'm learning new things in the comments too 😅. The Americas and Africa do seem to be Natlan's main inspirations, with some dashes of Oceania thrown in too. Will be interested to see how hoyo blends it all together

It has a spot reserved on my spotify playlist already.
Honestly, music is the bestest thing in this game. Not lore, not characters, not game design, not events. It's music.
What even is bestest?
@@hikaruhiro5981 It is the same thing as "best" but even better to say just "the best". To put it simply it is even above the superlative degree of adjective "best".
@@hikaruhiro5981 it's the absolute form superlative of "good". good -> best -> bestest. it means "The best of the best", basically

1:54 a steel pan? Dear god, Genshin's really going all out for this nation.
YES. I got goosebumps hearing that.
As a Trinidadian this instantly made it the best battle theme in the game for me😁

wtf i am literally in tears everytime it has vocals i love my country sm VIVA LATAM VIVA AFRICA RAAAAAAH !!!!!!
the vocals are yoruba that’s nigeria not latam

I heard quechua the firts part.
@@eyekandii never say the vocals were of latam lmfao i just said it brings me to tears. AND that i love my country bro 😭
i like how the first two ones are all tribal and native south american, and then there's the third one, exactly what we expected after the travail teaser
We’re colonizing boys! Set sail!
the first one is not latin american for the most part, it is more african. The other two definitely are

7:52 3rd ost
Third one reminds me of Mexico
I like the 3rd one
1st one feels like a classic sumeru battle theme, so very catchy, 2nd one is my personal fav, the vocals add a surprising and a unique touch, the 3rd one is a straight up salsa/dance battle. heavy Spanish vibes, LOVE ITTTT
My fav is the 1st one, the vocals are soooo good
bro they did not just cook. this is a whole feast.
To think these aren't even the final versions. Hoyo-mix making endless bangers
They probably are since they've already been composed💀
@idkatthispoint-s9s It does sounds like a final version. However, every year when a new region gets leaked out, the beta will always release a midi version before they make some final tweaks or extra instruments/vocals on the songs which will sound very different or even better than the midi. I don't know how long you played this game, but you should look up the early chasm battle theme leaked during version 2.6 that was later reused for the Apep weekly boss, and you'll hear the differences night and day.
@@barrywest-allen3261 it was true until recently:
Arlecchino's Second phase boss theme was in its final version in beta right away.
Also, one of these battle themes (the second one) was used in a trailer, so that one's definitely final version
@@_dragonflies_ no? Her phase 1 was leaked 2 weeks after phase 2 and finalized version of both are leaked 2 days after that
@@spymadmax584 huh, that's weird... As I remember it, Phase 1 was leaked from beta earlier and was improved afterwards, while Phase 2 was leaked in its final version later...
Did I miss the initial Phase 2 leak?
Did less people upload Phase 2 or something? I definitely remember looking for it and not finding anything...
Sounds actually great. Makes me wonder what they'll cook for Snezhnaya
Abit of tetris and a hint of trololol 😂

@@uoez It's just an angry child, you don't need to answer.
Well there's still have Yu-peng Chen's contribution in the song, like YPC created the leitmotif(?) for each region afterall, so its like hoyo got the blueprint for the song from YPC from the start.

@@Someone45356 maybe yet. 5.0 is not the only Natlan's patch you know...
@@nuhurrahman2861 yeah but hoyo doesnt usually add any more battle themes past the .0 updates
Saying that Genshin's music peaked in Sumeru is going to give people a rude awakening once Natlan arrives!
Some even says that after Yu-Peng Chen left the Hoyo music will go down.
@@dr_titaniaspoiler alert: it didn't.😊
@@Kiqu5557 It will never go down. Yu Peng Chen literally said he left Hoyo entrusting Hoyo-Mix to continue his legacy. If he trusted Hoyo-Mix. So should we.

Actually, Yu-Peng is back
Nation of PYRO means FIRE music🔥🔥🔥🔥
The third OST is like dancing Tango with an enemy instead of fighting them
And the third ost is the boss theme for the new wyvern boss leaked which feels like a dance when fighting it and it gives off some monster hunter vibes.
@@RoyalTfrii Now I Can't remove fighting an oversized red queropeco now thanks lol
@sibbysibbo5463 I thought it looked like an astalos painted red but I kinda see queropeco as well
@@RoyalTfrii Interesting if that's true and that's a relief because I don't like the third theme. It's not made for combat against anything threatening, it's taking away any tension and serious. But if it's a theme made for one boss, now I can understand and I trust it will fit with the boss' design.
Now that begs another question. Only two normal battle themes? I bet there's one last, unleaked, battle theme just waiting for us.

The orchestral concert at the end of the 5.0 livestream is going to be so good.
They fucking did it and it's amazing!
why are they all so fire
We're in the pyro nation after all lmao
I see what you did there
the 1st one kinda sound nostalgic. it's that familiar battle theme we hear since mondstadt but we're already at natlan.
photon of fluctuation motif my beloved
I'm soo glad Natlan's battle theme doesn't have a more modern approach to them (i.e rock music, dubstep, pop music, etc).
Yeah, because we all know that synfonic music, violins and piano are very prehispanic and ancient african
They have it lol, it sounds good tbh
@@jive7391that's exactly the feature of all genshin's music! They always take instruments and inspiration from traditional regional music and mix it with symphonic orchestra to create really original and appealing soundtracks. Music from other regions is also made like this and it is a banger
@@jive7391 violins, pianos and other popular western instruments are also used in Liyue, Inazuma and Sumeru music. And I don't think ancient China, Japan or Egypt had them either. (I don't know much about the instruments of Persia, India and other countries that inspired Sumeru, so I can't say anything about them). I don't see why hoyo would or should single out Natlan here
@@JhNvaro-jm8ww I was worried at first because some of the character's design reeks modernity. Like Mavuika's biker suit, or Kinich's Ben10 reference. It's good that the music department can distinguish themselves.
I can't wait to see which one of these will be in the symphony orchestra vid
The first one I hope. It’s my fav rn
I think third one, it’s the most orchestrally based and kinda has that vibe with the trumpet coming into the end, the other two are beautiful but the voices are so unique it’d be interesting to see whether the London symphony would have the singers for those lol
Even though the 3rd one is my favorite by far, i think it's either the 1st or 2nd that'll be on the live performance, and I think the 1st one will be the one chosen, but I could be wrong
I definitely wanna see the diverse set of instruments they used for this nation.
@@LaLoutre97 I agree with that, mainly cuz the way the first track ends screams live performance
Monster hunter + crash bandicoot music vibes = the sound department wins this years representation awards
same frfr
Sadly, I don't think they'll nominate it. But we can hope

1:00 i like that they include this tune which is similar to Liyue's. It's quite nostalgic and i thought "yeah this is Genshin"
This tune is called the "Photon of fluctuation leitmotif" and if I'm correct, it's actually present in most if not all battle themes
@@turtleismyreligion879It's not called that lmao
It's just more pronounced in that OST people started calling that
Because other Mondstadt OST (which released at the same time) also have that leitmotif.
@@LS-qs9jui personally call it "The Teyvat leitmotif" because it only appears in Teyvat battle themes but it doesn't have an official name

@@WeissmoonWell that is the beauty of music cause everyone have their own preference.
@@Weissmoon Fontaine is honestly overrated
@@schwarzwaldbrot8487 Not at all, Fontaine is very good, but if there is too much talk it is because Inazuma and Sumeru were so bad that it felt like a salvation.
after watching the 5.0 orchestra i had to come here and see if the ingame music would be blessed. i love this so much, now all we need is tougher outworld enemies so that they can atleast last until the ''shuuujaa..'' part, lol
Hoyo is really nailed it with the soundtracks. Also the the singing along with battle themes works extremely well. With such soundtracks maybe i might be exploring natlan forever

africa and latam music mixed together is a eargasm, region with best soundtrack by far
9:31 did i heard jazz??!!! THIS IS BANGER
I think that's bossa nova, which is Brazilian. Natlan dishes got leaked, and we have brigadeiros and acaraje, which are also Brazilian dishes. Iansan herself is Afro-Brazilian in origin because her name is close to the Candomblé (Africa diaspora in Brazil) version of her orisha name (Iansã)
So Natlan has bits of Brazil here and there
@@ghifariasoka8272 yess and also Xilonen, her name is aztec but her design is inspired by brazilian culture! And yes as a brazilian I agree, even though I don't exactly know which genre of brazilian music, I even showed the song to my parents and they were like yeah this is obviously very brazilian. I loved it so much.
@@brenubs there are also still Aztec portions of her design, as we know Hoyo likes to mix cultures: her obsidian earings, turquoise gems, gold bracelets, and the fact that the leopard was a very sacred animal to the Aztecs.
@@morsus3097 interesting! Also in my opinion the gold bracelets and her being a jaguar can be interpreted as both brazilian and aztec. Here the jaguar is an important animal too, also fun fact the word jaguar comes from tupi, one of the native brazilian languages.
* reminder: I'm not trying to deny her aztec references, like you said hoyo likes mixing cultures, and like I said earlier, those two parts of her design can be interpreted as both cultures, I'm just trying to discuss things and add more information because I'm from Brazil and I loved her character design because I saw my culture in her *
@@ghifariasoka8272 that is not bossa nova. They actually have bossa nova in the place that looks like a beach resort, This is actually fr samba jazz fusion.

Stopped playing genshin after sumeru but wow, this music is great!. Genshin never disappoints in the music side of things. I love the African and Australian influences.
Not really Australian but indigenous american
The opening instrument to the second song is a yidaki (didgeridoo) I'm pretty sure - an Aboriginal Australian instrument. Throw in a gamelan or something too and we really would be doing a musical zip through a good chunk of the southern hemisphere
