    Hi Davi! The wind instrument you mentioned is called “Suona”! That instrument has a very unique sound and always stands out among other instrument. Chinese people always joke about it just like “a rogue among instruments”. Also it's super common in some traditional chinese ceremories like funeral and wedding. so people also says “suona” is the one you hear from brith to death! 😂

      Yep. And commonly regarded as the 'rougue instrument' that instantly overpass all others.
      Like a saxphone

      The Western instrument of suona corresponds to Scottish bagpipes, which have the same meaning (from birth to death). For Chinese people, the sound of suona is very loud and abrupt, with a prominent and sharp tone that is not suitable for integration into orchestra performance. However, it can express the personality and uniqueness of the protagonist in the game. Similar uses include the Black Myth of Wukong (Wukong's spirit of rebellion) and the Legend of Mortal (to highlight the protagonist's ugliness).

    Black Myth Wukong was so well made. Not only the game itself was so fanatic, but the studio also put in so much effort in the music of the game!

    Suona evolved from Zurna which came from Persian traders during Tang dynasty era, it has a high pitched piercing sound, frequently used for traditional folk music and lead instrument for weddings (ensemble) and funerals (solo).

    I believe 8:00 part is where sun wukong threatened the whole heaven and jade emperor and waged war against them 10:13 would be where buddha sealed sun wukong for 500years and timelapse begin.. 10:36 is I guess when the monk Tang sangzang begin his journey and 10:45 he freed wukong by breaking Buddha's seal talisman. 10:50 where they begin their journey to the west

    Guanyin (the Bodhisattva of Mercy) is a major character in the novel and is partially responsible for the headband that disciplines Sun Wukong and is often portrayed as a female or androgynous. The female voice is likely a reference to the female voice in the 1986 theme and also to Guanyin's major inclusion in the story.

    The Chinese wind instrument is the _Suona_ (唢呐). It's arguably China's loudest musical instrument, able to be heard from miles away, to signal the arrival of wedding marches or of funeral processions. It has a reputation of being a rogue among instruments, being able to compete with an entire orchestra (like the Monkey King versus the entire Celestial Army). It's featured prominently in the song _Dagger Society Suite (小刀会序曲) popularized by Stephen Chow as Sun Wukong's theme song in various movies.

    Edit: with your limited description of Sun Wukong, you're pretty spot on, he is indeed impulsive, mischievous, trickster, arrogant, big mouth talker (which in the end he totally delivers it) and a bit of indirect womanizer.

    Here’s some prospective. I was born in 1987 in liaoning, China. The tv show JTTW came out one year before I was born. My entire childhood before I left to the US was watching this show, why? Well China had very few channels at the time, like 5 channels. There was not much on tv and this show for its time was so much ahead of the other entertainment China had to offer.

    Yeah, pretty adventurous. I didn't know there is a string instrument called "pipa", sound delicious, jeje. Today I want to recommend La Mulana's OST (it's a metroidvania with exploration focused on puzzles, I really like it but it's very difficult), I love the felling that the tracks give to the areas, really cool. I'm really enjoying the soundtrack, I suggest Inferno, Grand History or Curse of Ocean for example. That's it. ¡Adiós!

    The instrument is a "suona," which originated as "sorna" in Persia. Because it overwhelms other instruments, it is often used to represent deity or divine intervention in ensables. Thank you for illustrating how the chords built up the emotion! I learned to play the keyboard, but I wasn't introduced to the magic behind it.

    The instrument you were asking about is called suona (唢呐), and the closest analogy to it is probably a trumpet but with notoriously loud volume and high pitch. I think it also appeared in the Shara Ishvalda theme from one of your MHW music videos. The instrument is somewhat tied to Buddhism music at least in China, so I could see why different composers used it in MHW monster theme and Black Myth Wukong.

    Speaking of Suona, here's one of my favorite Chinese TV series BGM that used Suona as well: ua-cam.com/video/tjdKkdkqnik/v-deo.html, this BGM was made for a 1998 TV series which was based on another famous ancient Chinese novel "水浒传"(Water Margin), if you like Suona, you'll probably like this one as well!
