THE MONGOLIAN "HAKA"? THE HU - WOLF TOTEM 

The Hu is a Mongolian rock band formed in 2016. With traditional Mongolian instrumentation, including the Morin khuur, and Mongolian throat singing,.

They call their style of music Hunnu Rock where they combine their traditional Mongolian Instruments with Western instruments. You should check out their song The Great Chingiss Khaan if you want to see the entire band. This video, though, is the one that first turned me onto The Hu. I saw them live when they were here in the US in 2019 back in November. They don't disappoint! They were awesome!

I love the fact so many people know about The HU and even teach and explain to other about their music and instruments. Make me so proud to be a "Mongol"

Try "Sugaan Essena". An adaptation of their "Black Thunder" made for a Star Wars game. Great stuff.

Mongolians have lot's of musical talents and skills. They love to sing 😀 when you are invited to a Nomad family at some point of the evening they burst out into singing (been to Mongolia 3 times)

Love those guys! I just missed their concert at Zürich in February, because I was much too late for the tickets 😭. Little fun fact: It was the HU who brought me to Dimash last year.

Your initial reaction was correct. Watch the lyrics version and you'll see that it is a war song. They're basically saying, "Attack the Mongols and we'll rip you apart."

The instrument is the "Morin Khur". It's a traditional Mongolian violin-like instrument.

saw these guys in concert in Toronto. Absolutely amazing sound. They only have the one album, so they ended up playing a couple songs over again for the encore. Packed house, and just the most amazing show.

They are ridiculously good live. They actually sound better than the record versions, which is hard to fathom because of the exquisite sounds they make. Saw them in Boston Massachusetts, and having worked concerts for several years I will put their show side-by-side with any that I’ve ever seen, if not above.

The Hu is awesome. I love this one. And yuve yuve yu, and Chingis kahn.

If this doesn't get a person pumped, I don't know what would. ♥

Watch it again with CC enabled and get the English to go with the chant. They have the lyrics in English on most of their videos

The HU combines Rock Music with traditional Mongolian instrumentation like the Morin Khuur (horsehead fiddle), Tovshuur (Mongolian guitar), Tumur Khuur (jaw harp), guttural throating singing and the bombastic bass and drums of rock. You can hear it better in The Hu - Sugaan Essena, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oJZfEh3EciU.html Which is used as main title track in Star wars - Jedi Fallen Order ..

His voice IS the Instrument!....I saw them twice live on stage.....amazing show .......very "tribal" metal sound.....

Yeah these guys are awesome and everytime I hear this song, it makes my native American blood pressure sky rocket of excitement.

Who also sang along without understanding the lyrics at all?

- the national instrument of Mongolia.It is a typical Mongolian two-. The body and the neck are carved from wood. The end of the neck has the form of a horse-head and the sound is similar to that of a violin or a cello.

If you haven't, watch it again with the subtitles turned on. It's borderline hilariously macho. Way cool, though, and I love this song.

This is the coolest awesomest band on the planet and they keep getting better over time. Check out all of their videos if you ever have a chance to see them live take it.

I have known them for quite a long time and I love them. It is actually a "haka", it has an ancient lyrics, they sang this before they started a battle. Throat singing is amazing, it really sounds like an instrument. Not everyone is capable of singing like this. Thanks for this reaction 😊

Thanks for this vid, I just cannot stop my chin from falling down in awe. This is good stuff 👍🏻

You should watch the Hu band with subtitles turned on. They went through a lot of trouble to have their lyrics translated to English so people could understand the meaning behind their lyrics

Those are traditional Mongolian instruments.

I believe they are traditional Mongolian Musical instruments because in a Chinngis (genghis) Khan documentary I saw them

INSTRUMENTS: That horse head instrument is called Morin khuur (horse head fiddle). Next like a guitar instrument is called Tovshuur (Mongolian traditional guitar). The other similar to a cello is a different type of Morin khuur. SINGING: Their style is called Karkyraa and Khoomei (Mongolian throat singing - reminds"fry vocals" of a man with bass voice, like Till Lindemann from Rammstein. It's done more using the throat and vocals chords). There's a 2nd vocalist that sometimes will do throat vocals a bit higher than the main singer. MUSIC GENRE: The Hu said they are created new genre they called Hunnu rock (rock, Mongolia folk, metal).

I think you should react to "Black Thunder" or "The Same" the later doesn't have a music video, but so far i've yet to hear a review of that song of theirs and it's one of my favorites

throat singing is a very unique technique. if you do the proper way it will not hurt. but very few people can do this. especially mongolians.

Very nice reaction with lovely man.I liked.from Mongolia.

Different than the Inuits' throat singing, a little bit like Tibetans' throat signing where a signer produce two different tones at the same time, but interesting indeed.

Must must must react to The Hu with Lzzy Hale!

The first time I heard this, I though "These guys knew who their ancestors were" and felt like they fully embraced the Mongol experience.

Those instruments are of Mongol origin and other nomadic people of Central Asia use them as well. The violin-like instrument is called the Morin Khuur and the instrument that looks like the guitar/bass is called Tovshuur/Topshur/Dombra. Throat singing was invented by Central Asian nomads over thousands of years ago from the inspirations of the surrounding nature. Throat singing is only found in Mongolia and neighbouring regions of Tuva, Altai, as well as Kalmykia and Khakassia. These regions are all republics (autonomous) of Russia, inhabited by people with Mongol and Turkic roots, whose ancestors are nomadic.

They are so awesome. You should definitely try their other known numbers "Yuve yuve yu" and "Chenghis Kahn" (both have subtitles). They've also done work with From Ashes to New and Jacobi from Papa Roach. And then check Sugaan Essena that they made for the new Star Wars game.

It is even more amazing to see them live!!!

Love this group! I was very fortunate to be able to see them in person in San Antonio and they were awesome and very humble.

I hope you listened to it again but with the lyrics turned on.

Intresting.. i have to check out more about these guys, maybe not something i put on my playlist, but very intresting still..

React to the Woman song with Lizz. It’s one of the most beautiful songs of the Hu

If you like The HU, you certainly will like Bloodywood from India.Yaad is their latest song.

Name of instruments called Morin Khuur/ horse head voilen. Made out of horse hair, only string. Long story short Mongolian lost his beloved horse, he made this instrument, start playing... You can hear a lot horse sound they play in between..

It's fantastic !

The instrument used is a horse head fiddle and a Mongolian style guitar.

Imagine you have this gang in front of you. I would say "Bye guys", turn around and get the hell out of there.

Totally agree I never thought of that but I could totally see it when the sons are riding to a show down them playing this in the background that would be so epic this band is on 🔥

Love the description of being the Mongolian "Haka" 🖒🖒🖒

A long while ago I found a video of Huun Huur Tu. A Tuvan (Mongolian) band who do the throat singing and the dual tone singing. It’s no rock, it’s etnic and/or folk chants, prayers and stories. It’s simply mindblowing. Once they start singing, you imagine the plaines and the mountains and the brutal nature of Mongolia. Horses play a big role in the Mongolian culture (remember Genghis Khan and The Huns). In some districts it’s their only way of transport. Also hunting is a big part of Mongolian culture. I believe they are the last hunters who use eagles. If you listen closely to their music you hear birdcalls and horses. In the video we just watched, you see the horseheads on the instruments, you hear simulated horses, hooves and their rhythm. Back to Huun Huur Tu. This is the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i0djHJBAP3U.html The best examples are: 1:35 Oske Cherde (prayer) It is a bit of a long ‘intro’ to a more rhythmic part at 2:49. 6:20 Sygyt (dual tone singing) 10:02 Chiraa-Khoor (here again the rhythm of the horses hooves and the horse sounds, the dual tone singing) I love the tone of the voice of the man making the horse hoove sounds. 16:25 Kargyraa (Tuvan throat singing 30:20 Kozhamyk (there are the horses again, undeniably ) Just have a listen in your own time (no reaction needed) Have fun and enjoy. It is soothing and mesmerizing.

It's really all in the title- The wolf totem was the war banner of Genghis Khan, so yeah its a war-song alright! Good comparison with the Haka- as a Kiwi I'm quite familiar lol.

The Hu have some great songs. You should check out more of them. Another group to check out is Alien Weaponry. Since you mentioned New Zealand and Haka, you ought to really enjoy their song Kai Tangata.

I follow this band since they arrived on RU-vid. I love them. At the start you also hear some singing at higher notes. That’s als throat singing. Heilung is another band with pagan music. You must see their first live concert at castlefest called LIFA. It was awarded the best live concert of that year. It’s on RU-vid. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h1BsKIP4uYM.html

I wish, i was there at the back singing just the 'huhuhuhuhu'...it would be great...

With the right technique, it actually doesn’t hurt or strain your voice at all! If you push it wrong and try to force a sound, it will damage your voice though. It’s actually pretty cool. I’ve picked it up in a few months and can hold a slight tune in all 3 styles. Definitely not on their level though.

"Mr. Floor" Hannes (Sabaton drummer) Sabaton Ghost Division - Official Live Video

And the guys on the motorcycles are a real Mongolian motorcycle club. I forgot how they are called.

Also they make amazeing looking food

Thanks for reacting, the instrument is Horsehead fiddle en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morin_khuur

Turn on the closed captions. This is a battle cry....the animals mentioned refer to the different countries that have tried to invade Mongolia.

You need to put the captions in order to understand what they are really talking about.

Probably wouldn't be good for Dimash to use his finely-trained throat for throat singing!

There's also a version of this song featuring Unnecessary White Boy singing in English. It's... well, it's not BAD, but this is my favorite version.

I was thinking it is Haka also.

Well, I certainly wouldn't try to pick a fight with those guys..! Really cool song, though! Thanks for the reaction!

I Saw tour reaction to Sad but true, so here I am! Fantastic reaction!! The meaning of the song: There is a Warrior inside us to fight against our daily problems, damages..etc. L💜 HU Please The Great Ghinggis Khaan, of course Sugaan Essena, Yuve Yuve Yu.. I Saw your reaction Song of Women ft Lyzz Lovely!!! Thanks a lot.

Its called the horse head Fidel and the HU stands for human but is short for hunnan in there langue

watch official videos of Jocoby Shaddix and Lizzy Hale does a song called Song of Women....both done with the Hu

you should listen HEILUNG , you will love it!!

Ik have seen them live twice in Amsterdam and they are nothing less then awesome 😂

Rock On

Rare instruments I also don't know hahaha but cool 😊 video

"oh, that might be the Mongols MC" - LMAO

Watch with subtitles

There is CC on the bottom of the screen to see translation of the lyrics.It's much better when you understand what song about.

You should listen to that song but ft. Jacoby Shaddix (from Papa Roach)

Would love to see a reaction to Lacuna Coil - Layers of time. One hell of a song.

Listen to the God of war soundtrack. Epic taken to a whole new level.

Song of men.

Awesome mongolian heavy metal band.!!!🤟🤟🤟

I knew about the hu about a year ago..they have another song called yuve yuve yu on you tube..they made a remake of this song with the singer of papa roach.yes..the instruments are tradicional instruments. Sorry..dont know their names...and please..make a reaction on the song devil and the deep dark ocean ( nightwish) the live version in argentina..absolutely mindblowing

The 2 cello like instruments are called horse head fiddles (Morin khuur) and are traditional Mongolian instruments. The strange looking 3 string guitar is also traditionalMongolian and it is called the Yoochin I believe. There is a great video of a concert in France here where they play all the good songs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uq9YcCRhrB0.html

React to The Hu "Shoog", "Song Of Women (feat Lzzy Hale from Halestorm)" and "Yuve Yuve Yu". React too to "Sugaan Essena", an adaptation of their "Black Thunder" made for a Star Wars game.

THE BEST BAND HU HU HUUUU🤩💙🤘❤

If you have on the captions you can get the lyrics in English too.

I just knew Yuve Yuve Yu and it is also really interesting and great.

How manly. (Although the women also do throat singing.) Instrument looks like a near relation to the Kazakh Dhombyra. Long, skinny throat, few strings, big box. At one point the lead guy was practicing to play Darth Vader's lazer thing. Or a metal detecting wand. I had to laugh because his final expression looked like, "Wanna fight?" I have a dhombyra. A little tiny one 2" long, gift from Dimash-loving sister.

Good workout music!

If you get a chance, have a listen to Be'lakor. They're a prog metal band from Australia. Abeyance, Countless Skies, and The Smoke of Many Fires would all be good ones to check out.

the bikers wanted to be part of the video

Sounds... Good.

Now that's different. Always liked (well some exceptions) when ultra traditional things get a modern twist.

🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Check out The Hu song Yuve Yuve Yu, I think it's better than Wolf Totem. Sugaan Essena is also a great choice to listen to.

🖤🔥🖤

❤

Iv been listening to the guys for a few months and you should check out papa rouch and the hu

Try the HU and Lzzy Hale song of Women absolutely unbelievable

Круто!

Raise the wolf symbols guys 🤟

Battle song

Aww...Jax.

If it's "Haka" metal you're after, Alien Weaponry is the band for you. Here you go. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5kwIkF6LFDc.html
