ARIA nominated Australian based Mongolian musician and singer/composer .
Bukhu performs the folk musics of Mongolia, while exploring the aural dimensions of sounds generated by traditional instruments and harmonic overtone vocal techniques. His music brings a contemporary take on the tradition of Mongolian bards of the middle ages and those of ancient times, acting as a national memory bank by working mythologies, historic figures and events into traditional verse form.
This goes back. In the face of all our modern music this has some ancient aspect that resonates with us still. Is it just the sound or is it the soul behind it - I do not really know but it is certainly instantly mesmerising and entrancing and emotional. This is certainly something to treasure. And the unreal throat singing at the end just adds an other layer of surprise and yet depth and completeness. Definitely something the world should hear.
Bukhu's voice is so far beyond other singers that he can not be compared to anyone else. His voice has an ethereal, otherworldly quality that emulates the sounds of nature. How many people on planet Earth do you know who can produce two notes simultaneously? He is the only one I have ever heard. Through years of specialty training, he has mastered these special sounds. His voice is as beautiful as birdsongs.❤
Absolutely wonderful!!!! I'm a young Mongolian who has lived abroad and am getting my own Moriin khuur this saturday, hope to get to your level someday!!!!!
I've played for a long time now... I honestly FEEL like this is beyond music and its tension and release. The peace it evokes is beyond the usual emotional evocations we get from our favorite songs. I guess by happenstance, you've accomplished something beyond music with this song, that awakens something profound in people when they listen. Therefore, truely beyond music. What can I say, I think I speak for every soul when I say, thank you. Edit: I'll add something you might not know as a thank you gift. I've heard that in more ancient times, shamanic music would last beyond 7 minutes, to allow people to feel entranced by it. So, maybe, 3min is too short and you should make a 7 to 8 min version. I strongly suggest you test it out. Either way, thanks again. And not only for this song, but your personality.
I noticed lot of you guys asked about song itself. Its song named "Shiree nuur", translates to "The lake Shiree". Whole song have 4 verses, each verse have 4 lines. But he only sung first 2 lines from first verse. Shiree nuuriin zahaar Shirenge yundaa urgaa we ho Serwuun bagiin chamtaigaa Setgel yundaa dasaa we ho. Now I dont have perfect English, so rough translation would be something like Surrounding the lake Shiree Why woods are growing Since our childhood ages How come I having feel for you (loving girl)
This music will be heard when the second seal of the bible opens. "When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come." And another horse came out, a fiery red horse and he his name is "WAR". The one who sat on it was allowed to take peace from the earth and to make war on the earth. and he had a great sword of justice" Apocalipsis 6, 3-4.
somehow you are able to connect us all with an ancient presence that we know somewhere deep in our soul. We in the west have largely forgotten our connection to the land, our ancestors, our tribes and often our families. This never fails to bring tears to my eyes, this transcends regular musical form. Incredibly special.
