Supposedly something like 10% of the world's current population can trace lineage back to Genghis Khan...allegedly. Not sure if that's the correct percentage, but it's a surprisingly large number.
If you have heard any native American music, it sounds like this, just minus the rock drums. Mad respect to honoring their heritage in a rock genre. They did collaborate with a few regular rock artists, but I think it sounds better without the guest artists. The Hu means the people. By the way, there are versions of their songs that have the English translations of what's being sung.
I know that you guys probably won't see this, but i'm so happy that you opened yourselves up to listen to the band The Hu! I am not your typical listener. I am much older, could be a grandmother, but I was turned on to them over a year ago, and having a music background, I have just been so intrigued by them. I don't know if you looked up anything about the band, but those instruments that they play, particularly the 2 that only have 2 strings they are traditional Mongolian. Instruments and they are normally played sitting down. They had to have them retrofitted so that they could learn to play them as they stood up.The other instrument only has three strings, the one that is referred to as an electric guitar. The range of sound that they achieve, especially on the instruments with 2 strings, is phenomenal exclamation. They are cool, you guys are cool, and I totally enjoy listening to you!
I was lucky enough to see them live before Covid closed the world. It was absolutely the most powerful audio/physical experience of my life. The power of those voices just goes right through your body.
I saw them Sunday and how smokey and Hollywood are acting is how the ENTIRE arena was like. Not single person wasn't into them. They definitely stole the show. I will see them again.
That instrument he had in his mouth is called a Jew's Harp, or Jaw Harp. Its such a fun instrument to play, I have been playing it for a little over a year
The Mongolian jaw harp is termed a tumur khuur, to be precise. But by whatever name, Jaya has it DOWN, and I'm thrilled that you've taken up that instrument! It adds so much to most any sort of composition. 🎵
This music stirs in all of us that primordial connection- to the land, to our collective human history, to each other. I believe this is why it has attracted so many, regardless of any presupposed language barrier. I fell in love with them in 2016 before they became widely known, for this reason. I found my inner Mongol.
As far as I understand it the name Translates to "How Strange" and it's about how they people have pride in their ancestors but are not living by that pride. how things are different but they seem to have lost their ways.
The triangular guitar type instrument is called a tovshuur, and the long necked violin type instrument is called a moriin khuur. They also use a tumur khuur or jaw-harp.
Mongolian Rock They have a song with Papa Roach Singer Jacoby that's real good also called Wolf Totem. One of the Singers From Ashes To New is in this song in another version of it 🤘🤘
I love both the original and the one with Jacoby. And they give of a comepletely different feel. The original makes you ready to go to war and feel like a bada** and the one with Jacoby just gives you this fun energy which is awesome
I don't know if you guys take suggestions, however I would love to see you guys react to "peter holland & tim foust Misty Mountains". You guys would be amazed by the performance.
These guys are great live. I caught them a bit over a year ago opening for Babymetal. That was an awesome night. ANd now for a suggestion... Apocalypse Orchestra - The Garden of Earthly Delights.
I think the throat singing was part of the reason they conquered so much land. They'd march and throat sing and villagers would think its the devil coming or something lollll
I like these guys. Song of a women ft lizzy hale from halestorm is an awesome song and message is cool. Their deep Mongolian meshes perfect with her strong femal vocals
@@Godspeed1756 absolutely!! Met the legend himself 2 years ago. He signs his autographs with the year so mine says (with my name) “Alice Cooper 18”... how great is that?! I got it tattooed on my arm 😊🤘🏽

@@ChollaRanch thank you for posting the link, it was late and I couldn't find my damn reading glasses Makes doing almost anything on my phone impossible.
"Ey ve, ey ve, ey ve" means "How Strange (repeatedly)", and asking why are we corrupted in all aspects of life. Why are we morally going down as a society? That's what the song is asking. The instrument in his mouth is called, the "Aman Khuur"="Jaw Harp", and they're also performing with the horse fiddle.
You should look at "Sugaan Essena". That's the one they did for the video game "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order." I should mention that they sing that one in a language they had made up especially for the game.
To get a little bit of translation on Wolf Totem, the Hu did make another version with the Papa Roach front man singing the chorus in English. And yes, it’s a fucking badass War Cry!!!!!

Mongolians are no joke: the largest contiguous empire in world history, fantastic BBQ, and rockin metal!
conquered half the noknow world at the time over a million square kilometers about 3x times bigger then Rome from what i heard.
Dude Mongolian BBQ is amazing
@@Hollywood6IX Ain't it though!? Not enough love out there for Mongolian BBQ :D

I will say that Lzzy hale in woman's song was amazing. Other than that I agree.
Lzzy could duet with about anyone and sound amazing. One of the best recent voices in rock. She reminds me of Pat Benetar, Joan Jett and Ann Wilson.
Trueeeee.
😍
Well, native americans, particularly the northern nations, are close relatives of the Mongol, back far enough when the seas were last low...

I've always heard it referred to as a juice harp. Maybe mistranslation of Jew's Harp? From Central/Eastern Canada, btw.

Saw them in Denver last year. Tickets were - I shit you not - $16.00. Besides Heilung - one of the best concerts of the year.
You guys should react to "The Great Chinggis Khaan" by them. Its the heaviest song by them. Also my favourite by them :D
I agree its a great song
I just watched it , good song . not the heaviest though .
Oh hell yeah
Well, was. Then they did Metallica.

As far as I understand it the name Translates to "How Strange" and it's about how they people have pride in their ancestors but are not living by that pride. how things are different but they seem to have lost their ways.
Yep
I saw a comment a long time ago on the video saying
Honer your ancestors and don't disrespect the things they have done
Yuve Yuve Yu means How Strange in Mongolian
Yuve Yuve=What? what?
The Hu- Song of Women ft Lzzy Hale
YES!
@@scottclark3761 got to do this one
I concur! Badass track! 🤘🏼👊🏼
Shireg Shireg by The Hu live on Sirius XM, it’s awesome and they include the flute! 👌
Seen them live. Absolutely fantastic. There is a frontman. They're coming to Australia again later this year, so I'm hoping to see them again.
The Who has changed a lot from what I remember
😂
They look much different ,keeping up with modern sound .

Thanks Beth 😊
You guys acted the exact same way I reacted when I first heard this - and ever after. AWESOME SONG! Love your reactions.
The throat singer of Heilung went to Mongolia to study throat-singing, so ... yeah
The Great Chinggis Khaan is another cool song by them

Now do it with the Close Captions on. this song is a shot across China's Bow
Their cover of Metallica's Sad But True is just ridiculously good
some say it is even better than the original 🤘
If you turn on captions, UA-cam puts on the English translation
The Hu - Song of Women. Features Lzzy Hale from Halestorm
I don't know if you guys take suggestions, however I would love to see you guys react to "peter holland & tim foust Misty Mountains". You guys would be amazed by the performance.
they won't regret it!
YES.
I suppose to see The Hu back in April but....Covid happened. Great reaction
The power that comes from their voices, I don’t understand but it blows my mind
You guys are amazing! Great reaction
There is a version of Wolf Totem with Papa Roach
Also the Hu did the intro to Star Wars Fallen jedi the latest Star Wars video game.
For some more Mongolian music, try Hong Galou by Hanggai or The Memory of Nomadism by SULD.
Nine Treasures are also a good band.
I discovered these guys last year doing quarantine. I feel in love. Their music is awesome. Never thought I would like throat singing xD
U must react: Ne Obliviscaris - And plague flowers the kaleidoskope
Eventually they will listen to us and do this! Specially the live version :)
Yup. They will. And lets make sure they wont forget ;)
This.
I saw them live earlier this year, they were amazing!
These guys are great live. I caught them a bit over a year ago opening for Babymetal. That was an awesome night. ANd now for a suggestion... Apocalypse Orchestra - The Garden of Earthly Delights.
They did it already 😊
Another from The Hu: Legend of Mother Swam.
Another from Nightwish: Bye Bye Beautiful.
Great Chinghis Khaan by the Hu...
Will blow your mind
I think their best!
I think the throat singing was part of the reason they conquered so much land. They'd march and throat sing and villagers would think its the devil coming or something lollll
The Hu - Sugaan Essena
It's from the Jedi: Fallen Order soundtrack. There's two versions - one in Mongolian and one in Huttese.
That one Mongolian had what is known as a Jaw Harp, that made that twang sound.
I like these guys. Song of a women ft lizzy hale from halestorm is an awesome song and message is cool. Their deep Mongolian meshes perfect with her strong femal vocals

Tengger Cavalry is a pretty solid Mongolian band too.
Also, listen to Lamb of God
Great reaction as always, gents!
Two suggestions:
Oddko - Disobey
And from the Ukrain
Onuka - Zenit
8:45 The name of this musical instrument is translated as "horse's head". It's cool that the sound is like a horse neighing)
8:48 that might be the reason for why that instrument is called a "horse head fiddel".
You guys are reacting like I first did when I seen the video lol 😂
Long time lurker in this chanel and I finally subscribed and you guys didn't disappoint.

Oh boy....
freaking out already, and the song has not started yet, hahaha....
I think probably it’s been mentioned before but those guys are university trained musicians from the University of Mongolia classically trained
Que buena reacción. No entiendo un carajo de lo que dicen... pero que buena reacción! Saludos desde Uruguay.

Why you guys never watch with subtitles on? Their lyrics is at least as good as their music
The Hu- Sad but True
React to behemoth blow your trumpets Gabriel
Yes that’s great
Yes
Yes
their version of sad but true is amazing
You guys should listen to their song black thunder that’s in the Star Wars game
tnx its The Hu
Happy to see you revisit The HU! How about more BandMaid
I pulled them up on Pandora and I love them! They have been collaborating with a lot of people and I LOVE it
They were great in concert.
The Hu and Lzzy Hale Art of a woman
Pretty sure Mongolia is a land locked region between China and Russia...
He was playing a very tiny instrument called a mouth harp.
yu ve yu ve and wolf totem
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS . I love ur babymetal reactions. And The HU - Great chinggis khaan is their most badass song for me . Please
Two words: Indian metal (as in from India). Bloodywood - Machi Bhasad (Expect a Riot)
you guys need to turn on the subtitles and rewatch wolf totem and this one
Cool AF! Love the instruments.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They know the world's a joke, but, they got the punchline down path.
Blow your trumpets Gabriel by behemoth
Yes please
Yes
Yes
Bros, you gotta check out Dir en grey Vinushka. Itll blow your minds.
Please try The Great Chinggis Khaan. I'm dead sure you'll love it! :)
They do a version of this song with the band "From Ashes to New" 2, pretty gd as well
If y’all haven’t already I’d suggest reacting sultans of swing by dire straights. Preferably the live alchemy version.
How about turning on those captions. That might help to understand what they are saying =)
Slugdge- salt thrower.
The Hu is awesome!!! This song has alot of groove too it!!!! Wolfe Totem is their best I think though!!!!
You should do one of their vids with English speakers, Lzzy Hale or Jacoby Shaddix. Both are awesome!

Its a mix of traditional Mongolian throat singing and heavy metal and its fucking amazing.

Have y'all heard there versions that have Ashes to New and Papa Roach involved in Yuve Yuve Yu and Wolf Totem?
Wolf totem by these guys is f***** awesome you guys should take a listen, awesome vid btw, ur reactions were great ✌🏼
