first time hearing The HU - Wolf Totem | Reaction!! 

if you can. check out ( on your own time unless you want it as a request) the version with the collab with the lead singer from papa roach with added English lyrics.. its powerful in a way i cant explain..

Thanks for mentioning it, I get those spam messages often when I comment 🤦🏻‍♀️

How would I know it was a spam comment? Mean people need to find something nice to do. Dang!

@@randimckee2992 By looking at the name of the account next to the name and seeing if it matches my name.

The band's name HU means HUman as in they are the humans. The basics of the lyrics are telling anyone that would stand against them would have a fight on their hands. to paraphrase some of the lyrics, 'If you come at me like a tiger I will be an elephant' meaning whatever you throw at me you will get twice back from me. Native Americans can trace their origins back to the Siberian and Mongolian peoples in culture and many of their identity aspects.

@trina - excellent cmt.thanks ✌🏻

@@valoriel4464 😀🎶

that would be because you can only beat blow and bend the things ancient people had so many ways.. thats why it all sounds related..

It shows how we are still culturally connected even from 10s of thousands of years ago

If you like Mongolian music check out Diaqin Tana, Ongmanibamai.

Love song of Women! I was going to say the same thing!

The Metallica cover was top tier too

They also did a collab with William Duvall from Alice in Chains in their song This is Mongol Warrior Souls.

You are 1000% correct !!!! their collaborations with Jacoby Shaddix and Lizzy Hale are epic. Song of Women is just powerful, as is Wolf Totem. If you want to see something really cool put "biyelgee flash mob 2019 / The Hu - wolf totem". It is over a hundred dancers of the Biyelgee style of Mongolian folk dance in a central square in Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia dancing to Wolf Totem. I get the shivers every time I watch it, at least once a week. After The HU Band, I got very interested in folk metal and discovered other groups from other countries with a similar type of sound. Wagakki Band of Japan is one example of the art of combining traditional folk metal and rock influences. They are not as raw and powerful as Hu Band, but they do some amazing and beautiful work. Then there is Bloodywood, and Indian folk metal band that is also very impressive. From Siberia there is Otyken, who started off with some great folk metal sounds but soon became very commercialized, which is a shame. If you check them out look at their early stuff. In keeping with the general Asian theme, there is Ni Ni Music, a young lady from Taiwan who does metal and rock covers with traditional Chinese string instruments and also makes some electrified versions for herself. She and another musician from Taiwan did a cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" that brought me to tears. Then there is Moyun, a Chinese lady who does rock and metal covers on the guzheng, a zither-like instrument that looks like a horizontal harp. there's another Asian artist who pays the guzheng as a busker in Europe who is also fire. I just can't remember her name. This has nothing to do with folk metal but you might like it anyway, her name is MiuMiu Guitargirl. She's now 10 years old, but has been playing musical instruments since she was 3 and at 6 did a one-man-band cover of Hotel California that even Don Henley and Joe Walsh raved over. She's a multi-instrumentalist and also sings with just the sweetest voice you could imagine. Sorry to get carried away but I get enthused to show new things to music aficionados like myself. Just don't miss the HU Band Flashmob, it is just amazing.

Thank you for all the info. I will check out the flashmob!!

I'm very heartened and pleased. That when a artist reaches star status they share their good fortunes and success with their home communities. Good for the band ( The Hu ) BTW love this band and their sound!

Same..they are powerful live..

Absolutely! Late 2019 I saw this very video of theirs, then watched one other. Then I immediately found that they'd be paying at a small venue 2hrs away. Bought tickets right then! It was such an amazing show. The energy in the place was like nothing else. I was so happy to have been able to see them in such a small space.

I saw them in September at a festival. They were great!

I'm pea green with envy. How was it? How many people are actually in the band? What sort of show do they put on? I imagine a sort of Mongolian Rammstein. I would LOVE to see them live.

I saw them in 2019 and they were pretty good, but I saw them again last fall and they were fantastic! Production value has gone up significantly and you can tell they're putting a lot of effort into improving their performances and engaging with crowds that have no idea what they're saying. I would also highly recommend doing the meet and greet if you can. They're super nice and very excited to be sharing their instruments and music with the world. Also this fall the band had 7 members on stage I think. That's what my video showed, but only the 4 main guys did the meet and greet.

you should run for senate in Massachusetts. i hear they arent to picky about the total amount..

Agree totally. I grew up going to pow wows in Michigan and I totally live the drums in the song, reminds me a bit of native drums. I'd love a native American metal band to get this kind of attention. I've poked arounda but but haven't found anything good. Heilung is another great band with a native sound though it's more Nordic/Celtic.

What Nation, if you have native american blood?

Y'all are cousins with the Mongols! You're the ones who walked across the Bering Straight land bridge, they're the ones who stayed... Genetically proven. (Most Native Americans, at least - some more recent groups are unrelated.)

@@billholder1330 no we didn’t get here from over there x

I was going to say the same. Discovered Heilung after the Hu. Ancient tones that stir up the DNA.

Well I guess I have a new band to look into

Heilung connected me with The Hu. Don ha love the algorithms when they work?!?

I saw them in October too. Where did you see them? I was in Eugene.

@@annkanyr3024 Sacramento. At Aftershock.

yes! I saw them a year ago and they were phenomenal live.

I saw them when they came to SLC, best concert I've been to
