The Hu: Live Performance and Q&A | Talks at Google
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 гру 2019
- While on tour for their first album, The Gereg, Mongolian rock band The Hu stops by Google to play a short set and answer some questions. The band discusses the traditional instruments they play and incorporate into their music, their history and experiences touring the world, and the message they hope listeners take away from their music.
Moderated by Ken Arthur.

I highly disagree with the guy encouraging them to translate their music. Man, music is universal and you just enjoy it for what it is. You can always look up a translation for the lyrics if you want :)
I agree, you can even look up the translation easily but you can get the vibe easily regardless of language.
I disagree with what you said.
But to each its own.
They're new to the region and their lyrics are really interesting. Hence.
@@jamielobo855 I get it. But if you already know that the lyrics are interesting, because you've looked them up, I don't really see the need for them to translate.. Also, who are we to ask them to write music in a language they might not be comfortable with?
I do get your point - it's always nice to know the message of a song lyrically.
Let them sing in their own language. Heard any Rammstein? They sound better when they sing in German (rather than in English, which isn't their native tongue).
That's right. Who care's what they're saying. What's most important is how I feel.
This song is about the shame people should feel having betrayed the values and greatness of their conquering, warrior ancestors, by the way.
Gotta love when the subtitles just say "SPEAKING MONGOLIAN"
even google doesnt wish to translate all of what they say lol
@@patriot4786 🤣
That's the only thing i don't like about this talk. Having a live translator for the audience is fine but it's ridiculous that one of the biggest companies in the world couldn't provide a more detailed translation as subtitles.
Seriously, the hottest band on the planet - even we grandmas love them!
Maybe their low tones vibrate our old bones and relieve some pain? And the songs just offer us some comfort.
The Mongols have officialy and proudly added metal to their list of conquests! Long live the Mongol Empire.
#istandwithMongolia
If youre aware, those vocal acrobatics using throats can hurt and injure a singer's vocal chords, these Mongolians learned it since childhood, and it is said every Mongolian man must master it, its known as "Khoomei" and the Mongol ancestors who were nomads developed it when they heard nature's sounds surrounding them. Astonishing! 🇲🇳
The Hu's songs are all spiritual. You can feel it and enjoy it. Imagine how great we were.
And the lyrics often funny and political critical.
Like "the triangel"
Translater was actually so good. Vocal translation is usually way harder than the written translation. Even in script translation, there were many sentences that are difficult to translate. The band members spoke about closely culturally related practices using words that don’t exist in English. Don’t criticize the translator guys.
So beautyful language Mongolian, greetings from Germany
I agree simultanious translation or interpretation is the hardest. as one myself. i can say its one of the hardest jobs. in time wise, written translation takes a lot of time... vimultanious or live translation is hard... because you need to keep up and give the most exact meanings in split of second... shapoo,,, he seemed to do a good job, though i don't understand Mongolian. I'm Arab.
I'm from Cambodia 🇰🇭
love Mongolia🇲🇳

They show their classical Mongolian training. These guys are not really heavy metal, it's their own style and it is steeped in their culture and history, as well as the spiritual. The more I hear them the more I appreciate their upholding their people.
I would definitely classify as heavy rock, remember they dont have any percussion in this demonstration, if you listen to their albums there is more guitars and drums that give it a more heavy rock/ light metal feel
Native american loves us because we are one blood people !
The Hu 很有自己曲風風格的樂團，呼麥的唱法，用蒙古自己的傳統樂器奏出的音樂是別的搖滾樂團所沒有的，非常有特色的匈奴搖滾樂團，👍。
Ir reminds me so much of Native Americans - even the appearance - respect to all of you - thanks for doing what you do and being what you are 🙏
❤🐴 🎶 THE HU!!! 🎸= My Favorite band & music! 🐎💞
I drove 200 miles in a rain storm to see The HU play a live sold out show in Sacramento, California, 2019.11.30.
🎶AWESOME SHOW!!!🎶
💗 Loved every minute!💋 I was so excited to see them play live up close.
(Btw, All the local shows sold out in minutes... San Francisco, San Jose, etc)
I've seen live in concert, every band they mentioned listening to. All excellent bands. I would assume Pantera is one of them as well.
But, at this moment,🎸The Hu 🎸, is, by far, my favorite band to see live and to listen to. I can't wait to see them live again!
Thank you UA-cam for helping me to discover them.
💗💋🎶 and THANK YOU!, "THE HU", for bringing your music into my heart and into the hearts of the world! 🎶🌏
i wish i could see them too. but hey, hope they will be back here at mongolia soon!
Worthed 👍🏻
The HU are my Fave Hunnu Rock band. Greetings from Rome, Italy.
I saw The Hu last night in Manchester, England. Awesome amazing energy from the band
I love your sound and your message! If you never ever sing in any other language, I will still love your sound and your message! I do not need to understand the words to feel what you are saying. As you guys have said before, music crosses boundaries and borders to bring souls together. Never change!
They have collaborated with a number of American musicians throughout their tour, recording alternate versions with a combination of Mongolian and English lyrics. While I prefer the poetry in the sound of the original versions, I can definitely understand recording alternate versions to increase their accessibility to an American audience. Might want to check out the alternate version of Wolf Totem for an example.
The mongolian language sounds so sweet! ❤❤👍 I love it! They've have really soft voices. So diferent from their songs!
Maria A i know right
I was so surprised at how soft spoken they were. Have just begun listening to their music and I was expecting voices that were more aggressive.
My guess is that their speaking voices are softer to spare the vocal cords for when they do the throat singing.
Ийм сайхан авьяаслаг, эх оронч залуус маань Монголынхоо нэрийг дэлхийд мандуулж, их богд Чингис хааны жинхэнэ үр сад ямар байх ёстойг харуулж өгч байгаа нь тун бахархалтай. Бахдан сонсоод ч ханамгүй төгс төгөлдөр уран бүтээлд нь улам их амжилт хүсье!
👍✊♥️
so happy for them they are really blowing up... and other people appreciating them and their culture
This recording is a treasure.
Монгол группийг маань тал талаас нь судалж, ажиж,анхаарч эхэллээдээ.Маш их ажиллах, бодох,хариуцлагатай байх хэрэгтэй болж байна.Бүр их амжилт хүлээж байгаадаа та нарыг.
Before The hu there was Altan urag . Please check out Altan urag too , you will not disappointed. So proud both of them .
The hu хамтлаг дэлхийд гараад siri болон айпонь д Монгол хэлийг албан ёсоор оруулчиж болох юм хайртай шүү THE HU хамтлаг ❤️🇲🇳
Stay pure guys! Never change! you are unique and special! we admire and love you!

Add my thanks from Italy!
Canada loves the Hu. I recommend you to everyone I know. I stumbled acroos this great music about 1.5 years ago and am very happy that you are continuing to create great rock music. It resonates with my soul. 💜💜💜
Proud of ourselves as a Mongolian, Thanks HU
Amazing Band, nice sounds, greats songs, awesome instruments. The Hu is the band of 2019.
Greetings from the US. Absolutely amazing. I had seen you guys pop up in my UA-cam searches for other bands. I finally decided to give Wolf Totem a listen and wow! I don't know what took me so long to listen to you. Your music speaks to a part of the human condition that remembers the hunt be that hunt on the high steppes of Mongolia, the dark forests of Europe or the Woodlands of the eastern United States. It talks to the DNA inside of us that remembers living and dying for our clans. You speak to the parts of us that remember fearing yet exalting the many gods we created to explain the world around us before science did it. Keep up the good work. All I can say for sure is the Hu is on my radar and in my playlist.
We got to see thier concert a few months ago in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. They were phenomenal! I will bet this is the last tour where they will play to such intimate audiences. Our show was like having them in our living room. So much power and positive energy!! It was s real rush!!! Love these guys💗 If you haven't checked out Hu's in the Kitchen on UA-cam, do it. It's fun watching them razz each other. The food looks pretty tasty, too.
I could listen to Jaya speak for hours. He has beautiful enunciation and diction. And no, I don’t speak Mongolian.
Sorry, it is the guy with the guitar/blue horse? Sorry, i don't remenber the name of that instrument.
Jaya is the one who played the flute Maria.
You mean Galaa.he is amazing and so soft spoken too.
Big fan from Canada!!!!! This music is so moving,no translation needed!!!❤
i love their words and meanings of their music and song, no matter what the actual translation is , its the kind of music that sings to your soul. beautiful, encouraging and inspiring....thank you HU, U rock!
Im from Indonesia and im LOVING these guys!!!! 🔥🔥🎸
"Our ancestor brought so many great things to the world"
Some were good things and some horrible things, but they were undeniably great.
agreed
The discipline for throat singing is testament to their devotaion and commitment to their culture, heritage and ancestors. Mongol history for the little I barely remember from public schools, was extreme and harsh. Kubla khan if. I. Remember, was a fierce warrior who breed the powerfull short statured ponies used in combat. If he had the technology we have today, the world would be speaking Mongolian. Dam glad I never had to go up against such a formidable foe.
Yep, like you.. and me.. and everything that is human... Bloody fantastic!
@@tayslaywift9361 one of them is this kind of music
I don't need it translated... I think the music is beautiful the way it is... and I appreciate it exactly as it is supposed to be... I just love it. I can read the English translation but I don't need it ... I just really love the music... doesn't matter as you can see the passion of it in their faces and in the music you can feel it.
I speak only for myself... Not knowing the words and language of the Mongolians, I can only listen to the voices and the incantations of their language.
The instruments are very 'Earthy.' Not a bunch of electronic, synthesized, techno noise. They are the instruments of Mongolia, and are wonderfully made! It's a healing sound. Not electronic 'canned beats.'
I listen to the Hu, and I find their music more compelling to look inward, than to just get a thrill from what I see and hear.
These guys are REAL musicians, and real artists. The play instruments, and write their own music, and lyrics, and then, they perform it all very well!
Blending it all with a rock timpo, and adding more traditionally rock instruments, doesn't really detract from the originality of their own instruments, their sound. Nor does it drown out these instruments.
That’s what makes you all your own. I’m glad your staying who you are and not for others. Your music 🎶 is beautiful. Stay true to yourself. 💕💕💕💕
I live in Lake Havasu City,, Az.. in the US A. I am 66 years old and I love this band. Looking forward to purchasing their music.. would love to learn about their style, instruments and culture. Outstanding!!!!!

Says it ALL! Love these souls! Thank you for bringing your message to us. ✨💖✨
4:36 - 10:29 is the most majestic and beautiful music I have ever heard in my entire life
Great job guys! Unique and astonishing live performance with traditional Mongolian musical instruments which have been tied to Mongols lives, traditions, history, and values for ages over thousands of years!!! Especially that flute called Tsuur!
I saw the Hu play this past November. Hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever seen 💙
Насколько же круто, парни молодцы! Удачи вам!
Their musics are voice of nature and power of central asian blue sky
Your songs and music are so meaningful when you all explain or express the real purpose, really touch my heart.
Keep it up guys ( the Hu).
I effing love the Hu. Overtone singing is mesmerizing.
Love the band and their songs, I am proud of them as I always. I think, the band talked and answered the audience's question genuinely and truthfully with a broad Mongolian language explanation.
Congrats from Hungary. Somehow familiar :)
Мундаг шүү #THEHU..
Монгол улсыг танин мэдүүлж байгаад баярлалаа.Та бүгдээр төлөөлүүлж Монгол улсыг харж байгаа учраас
Хөгжмийн түүх болон улсын түүхийг маш гүн судалж унших хэрэгтэй шүү.Амжилт
WOW! So glad the folks at Google were able to have them perform. I caught them in Chicago at Riot Fest, they were AMAZING! Can't wait for to see how they evolve and share their songs and culture with the world.
One good point the guy makes. We in the west focus a lot on the process of conquest but for the most part, the Mongols were very chill with the peoples they submitted. In the biggest bloodbaths like Sarmakand or Baghdad, the cities downright tortured the Mongol diplomats for having the audacity to demand tribute. The Mongol Empire was big because of their military power but lasted so long because of their tolerance and desire for progress.
Interesting fact: the Pope actually had a treaty with one of the hordes to coordinate a crusade against Syria and end Islam, but it fizzled due to succession events in the khanate. Mongol diplomats did their miles.
Mongols were tolerate to muslims and islam
Very thankful to Google to allow this interview which told me so much more about these very spiritual and humble guys. I've been enjoying their music for months on UA-cam and for those of you who want to know the words they are translated from Google on UA-cam, however, the whole point behind their music to me, is the "feeling"- it touches your soul and through that you know the meaning, you don't need the words. Please don't try to change them into some westernized vision that you have, enjoy them for who they are and what they present as indigenous people.
These Guys are NOT indigenous! They are NOT. Indigenius people. These guys a Khalaka Mongolians from the country Mongolia. They are a majority in thier country and have thier own country. THESE GUYS ARE NIT INDIGENOUS.
But these Guys are NOT Indigenous.
Amazing band ...I watch them at Jogjarockarta, March 1 2020
I m from Mongolia. They are so good and amazing. I very very proud of you guys. I wish you success and I hope you so much love and you’re amazing.
8:48 I have never heard such vocals come out from a human like that, astonishing
You Guys are amazing! I heard one song and I am hooked on you! You make my Soul feel so alive again! 💜
This translator guy is a genius. Well done man.
I have no idea what they’re saying but somehow I keep listening to them......
its always nice when the suggested videos are exactly what you want
This is one of the few bands if I ever get the chance to meet I'd fan girl over ,followed by shinedown disturbed and black veil brides my bucket list for life
This was great! I learned a lot about a band I'm kind of obsessed with at the moment.
The HU make me feel like when I first heard Nirvana!

My son and I saw them perform in Louisville last night and it was awesome. No translation is necessary if you feel it in your soul
That was cool to see the guy with the flute make the sound with his fingers!
try googling "assamese gogona", its kind of a similar instrument
He's playing jaw harp
Mike Serot: thats traditional talent
I LOVE YOU GUYS ! I work all day with your music in the background. I love the Shireg song that I absolutely must hear it first thing in the morning to start my day happy !! That song makes me feel so happy !
Another view/sound gem. I know if my granny would have watched , she would be much more up to the moon then after basketball match where Lithuanians won. And she would hid not a tear, but more. And I would understand. The village people still create music from what they afford… blessed people. Stay happy, organised and that delicate. Asian modesty… snakeish , live face body/limbs (doesn’t sit stand if they have swallowed the tower); smiles where needed, seriousness in its place too… I had a feast. Merci
Thank you guys for Sharing your music and culture with the world. Your ancestors are surely proud of you. I hope your tour in the west is a good experience you. Thank you again
Love the Hu ♥
The HU is the best.
This was unbelievably awesome. Thank you! Reminds me of Tibetan throat music (sorry if this offends anyone) but it and this is so beautiful and powerful.
They should not have to. It is a case of have the translations be in subtitles since they are entitled to sing in a language they fluently speak and understand rather than ones they do not. The fans will not have an issue or a problem with that only those who are not particularly fans will be the ones who have a problem with it. They do not have to learn to speak other languages to sing in them especially the style of singing they do.
agreed, nobody would ask Linkin Park to translate their songs to another language, so why should we of another culture's music?
@@xander1052 excellent point. It's culture, some people don't understand that at all. BTW there is a throat singing cover of Numb by Lincoln Park.
@@justinreams2433 ngl that sounds epic
@@xander1052 I think Alex Kuular did the cover. Check it out, it's pretty sweet.
@@justinreams2433 will do!
WOW, the HU is everywhere :O
as nature...nature is music as hu has been just transcending...
But not in China😂
Just wondering, there a many musicians famius in China, Dimash for example. I wonder why not the Hu. There a 7milion Mongolians in Inner Mongolia China.
We love HU 😍❤️🔥🇲🇳🇲🇳
It's amazing how they can be rock or classic, so proud of the HU :)
The hu is everywhere.
Tanantara Wanderer 😀 I think so. Everywhere guys are listening them, I guess. 😁
Certainly! In México we listen to them, too. They are such great musicians and their music is fantastic!
In addition to high creativity, talent, and a novel sound, these guys must have a marketing/promotions mastermind working for them.
@@CatFish107 Dashka, the producer. I think. He was in music industry who knows 30 some years. He used to sing in a band when i was in high school.
@@enkhzayazundui1063 thanks for the insight. What you said makes sense.
Я Вас обожаю
Таня вы откуда из России мне очень интересно разве там слушают Монгольскую музыку??
Beautiful song! I love their music. It hits the heart and soul with peace , healing, love n joy!! Wishing them all the very best and more in this New Year!!!❤❤❤❤
The music as always is wonderful and unites us all regardless of language.Sadly the interview was so short I could have listened to them speak about their culture and history for hours! What I really missed tho was the drum beat. The HU's Wolf Totem has become my wakeup morning ritual and I can say I have never felt more enerergized in the dull British winter weather haha..
These guys are great! Seriously. Something new and unique with a good sound! And if I heard them correctly when the one guy was naming bands that influenced them I could have sworn I heard him say KoRn. And hey, KoRn has been my favorite band for 25 years.. if these guys were inspired by KoRn, that just makes me like them even more! :)
kornfreak78 yea he mentioned KoRn
Amazing story tellers!! Speakers and singers of truth!! Such great heart!!
Original, refreshing, interesting, wonderful music...... great people... Thanks!
Мундаг байна. Амжилт хүсье. 💪🏻😁
Respect The HU ! Beautiful!
Kudos to The Hu for bringing to world stage traditional music and making it connecting and relevant to modern.

He brings them out of the darkness into the light
Who did what to who?
@@enkhzayazundui1063 Hu Allahu ladhi LA ilaha illa HUUU.. Hu is Allah. There is no god but Hu. Bright Minds quoted the Holy Quran. Hu means He in Arabic. I think in Mongolian Hu means human. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

@@enkhzayazundui1063 lol
@@herndonboy13 Mongolian word Humuun ( means human) sounded very much Human to us. What are going to say? Maybe some words have same roots, i dont know. I wonder! Mongol, Arab or English?? I dont know.
I heard the 2nd song w the flute long before I heard of wolf totem. On a tribal relaxation cd. It was instantly my favorite on that cd. Years later, enter WolfTotem. As I listen to more of their music, I found that familiar flute song here and smiled. I've loved their music for years and never knew it. So very enriched now that I do...thank you for the interview. Very enlightening. My warrior spirit is awakened. Thank you.
Listening this band make me know what the feeling of the enemy when the mongolian cavalry arrive on the horizon....its give you chill back on your spine
It is so powerful and deep😻😻😻
Love their music. It speaks to my soul !
I listen to other bands to for my enjoyment. I listen to the HU to feed my soul.
They studied music for so long! And I can just feel how knowledgeable they are. So awesome to be their fan and be able to learn so much. Thank you for the broad interpretation. But, I wish there will be a professional translator even just for subtitles.
Very good informational talk with Hu. The Hu is amazing!
The Hu "Unplugged"! Awesome! Thanks! I was at a concert yesterday. :)
Oh... this is great! It's like the "The Spirit of Tengri" music which is just fantastic. Mongolia does it good. Thanks!
This band is so wonderful! I love their music
