In ancient times the Mongols were the most feared army the world had ever seen. The HU are the modern day equivalent, but they are not conquering the world with violence, but rather with the universal language: Music.
@@sajuente8235 they were nothing like terrorist... yes the slaughtered the armys of the people they conquered but once conquered all they wanted was tribute and let them mostly be autonomous.... except for china which they controlled directly. they were feared due like any other conquering army of the time. Alexander the great was feared by the world of his time same as the mongols were of their time.
The mongolians were part of the Huns way back when sort of same culture and if you know history the people who conquered lands slaughtered the vikings the romans MONGOLS. and so on
Lol. My husband has a particular disposition to dislike Taylor Swift songs. He loaths them and hates that some hooks still filter through to get stuck in his head and torture him. Guess how I get my own back when he has annoyed me?
You know what's hilarious? I think my two favorite modern artists are Taylor Swift and the Hu. I have eclectic tastes. I love what Swift does lyrically and what the Hu is doing vocally.
@@sistermadrigalmorning233 There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Taylor's music is not my cup of coffee, but I'll never knock anybody for liking what they like. That is pretty funny both of these artists are your wheelhouse though. I can dig it.
Like someone else commented on the video of Yuve Yuve Yu: "When Mongolian language has 4million speakers but your videos get 30million views that's when you know you're doing something right" ~ Nena Vaskina
I’ve been lucky enough to see these guys play live and they’re amazing. They finish with this song and the whole.... tribal thing works really well with an audience of metalheads. It was pretty awesome being in a crowd all joining in with the Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu chant that goes through this song. There’s something about this kind of music that transcends borders and cultures. It’s primal. I love it.
The Hu sound is all about traditional Mongolian instruments and their unique sounds. We use Morin Khuur (horsehead fiddle), Tovshuur (three-stringed lute), Tsuur (Mongolian flute) and Tumur Khuur (Jew's harp). The Hu is traditional meets modern and past meets present
These guys are really cool...even my wife likes them. The whole album is good actually. I copied & pasted this next part from a comment I made on another reaction video to this song: Regarding the instruments played by The Hu, I lifted this info from Wikpedia (therefore it is possible that it's not 100% accurate): The morin khuur (also known as the horsehead fiddle) is a traditional Mongolian bowed stringed instrument. The topshur is a two or three-stringed lute an the tsuur is an end-blown flute of varying lengths. Cheers!
I love the Hu Band!♥️ If you haven't, look up the translation of their lyrics. These are the descendants of Genghis Khan. (That's why they're following behind the warrior on the horse. He symbolizes their ancestor.) Notice when they punch the sky, they're saying "Hu!"😊
Wow, your reaction was PRICELESS! They have a full length album that came out about a month ago that's really fun if you're into folk music from around the world. Meanwhile, they have a few other videos on youtube you could check out and react to. All great.
I love The Hu, Mongolian Warriors🥰 first time i saw them was at smoelenboek (fb) one of my friends was sharring this with me on my page.. i fell inlove right there❤
1st to say that traditional Mongolian instruments & throat singing make quite unique folk metal. The HU is awesome. P.S. Are you already familiar with the German band "Blind Guardian"?
Respect for bands using their national elements, instruments and their own language. Have you heard os this ? Another Finnish band with a REAL national twist and their native language: th-cam.com/video/co0A3vT-6-k/w-d-xo.html
@@ollytherock7324 I never thought of them to show you. I ave heard a few of their songs but I never followed them. Anyway I am to busy with this band called Nightwish. Have you ever heard of them? Lol :-)
Yep. That was pretty much my reaction when I first heard The Hu. Few weeks later they released their first album, The Gereg. I ordered on the spot. P.S. I appreciate you didn't pause the music to comment (like MANY other channels do) and instead simply enjoyed it.
I got to see them in concert. Awesome is the only word for it! You should do a reaction video to their song Yuve Yuve Yu. Also turn on the subtitles for the official videos if you want to know what they are saying.
Hey look man im a black dude from the south who loves REAL music no matter where. The blending of metal and traditional throat singing and the meaning of the bikers and the bikes is just awesome. Im getting the urge to conquer some shit!
I just listened to them all day today on a big sound system and I cranked it up my neighbor complained about me rattling their windows oopsy but yeah I had pretty much the same reaction when I first saw it I've always been interested in the Mongolian people because I love horses this just makes it all that much better I'm a fan of The HU now it all got to be worth listening to music was getting kind of boring because it was the same thing played with the same instruments and same basic story line I ran across this and it was just so totally different that I found to be quite refreshing also you will love their other songs I have a whole album and many songs that I recorded to play on my crazy audio machine here that is a traditional Mongolian instrument the horse head reflects their culture it is a Morin khuur is the name of the instrument they have also done music for the game of Star Wars and they been touring the United States and other foreign countries as well all I can say is damned amazing see if you can find the rest of their music there some mellow stuff to that sounds really good
Wow - Awesome band!!! I love just about anything that has a 'tribal' feel to it. Some of what the leader singer does with his voice reminds me of the sounds from a didgeridoo. So cool.
I'm impressed..!! I was familiar with Mongolian throat singing and I like it very much !! But traditional Mongolian instruments with throat singing and Rock sound is really unique !!! What is next, Australian aborigines with didjeridu and dancing kangaroos Metal Band ?😂 Thank you Olly I liked it a lot !! 🤘🤟

@Yorgos Yannopoulos Your comment sounds quite offensive. Mongolian music has been developing for centuries. The musicians in Mongolia usually are professionals just like the members of the Hu band.
so i discovered the HU (wich is mogolian an basically mean The People) via a friend 6(?) Months ago The Vilolin thingy is actually a mongolian Horse Head Fiddle, and the Cool Guitar is called a Balalaika beeing the people of Ghenghis Khan the mongolians are very proud people, but they hot put under the boot of the chinese and the russians, so the Hu has many uplifting an somewhat uproraing texts and some what partiotic ther Music is called Hunnu Rock by the band
There's a correction here, this is NOT a balalaika, which is a Russian instrument. The two-string upright instruments are morin khuur, as you said, the horse-head fiddles. The guitar-appearing instrument in this video is a tovshuur. Both originate from Mongolia, as do other instruments they play that aren't seen in this video (flutes, etc). You can also hear "standard" guitars, bass, and drums in the track, and they're all present when they play live, but the primary instruments are the 2 morin khuur and the tovshuur.
You must listen to Tengri singing Heaven. From The Singer 2017. He is amazing. Hard to believe that i also really enjoy Yuve yuve by the HU....big difference from our Dimash!
Hu...as in human. This is a Mongolian war chant. I hope you called up the subtitles for your edification. Millions of people could tell you, if you hear this, make peace with your God and loved ones. A very bad storm is coming and there's a good chance of no one coming out of it alive.
For those that don't know, the creature in their band symbol is _not_ a dragon, but a snow leopard. In trying to decide on a symbol that represents ancient Mongolia and the Hunnu (Xiongnu), they did some research. A friend of theirs informed them that a royal burial site had been discovered in 2011 that indicated that the snow leopard might have been sacred to the Hunnu. The sinuous nature of the symbol is to show the way the snow leopard moves on the mountains. There's a short video about it on their channel.
My husband has discovered them and they are appealing in a gutteral instinctive way to us. We have barely a clue as to the subject matter, just that vibrating chest sound.
Really like your reaction..I subscribed....You should react to their "The Great Chinggis Khaan" it is their best video by far..your jaw will literally drop...and their "Yuve Yuve Yu" is really good too
I love the HU! Mongolian instruments are fierce looking and the throat singing is so awesome!

As a Mongolian, I can confirm that you're right.
Mike Judas Priest and as an owner of a Morin khuur I can confirm your right too
Imagine that coming over the hill and getting louder and louder and LOUDER

Not very original.
@@OP-1000 maybe but so is your comment.
@@OP-1000 and your response was completely lame. I mean you have to say something just to get up in people's koolaid dumbass
They are even better live because you can feel the drums rumbling through your chest...so good.
I only discovered these dudes like 6 months ago but fully enjoy them.
I don't know if you've heard it. But these guys have another song called Yuve Yuve Yu. I'd highly recommend listening to it!
I saw them in Atlanta. My reaction to the HU the first time was exactly the same as yours lol. They are even better LIVE!!!
The Hu Rock 🎸 Mongolians warriors !!
How fitting that you reacted to the Wolf Totem! You were smiling so much, we couldn't see your eyes (full on Cheshire cat mode) 😅

What the what??!?!? This was amazing! I was mirroring your reaction by my screen. Thank you for this gem!
I love there sound so cool.
2 months ago, i downloaded this song. This song has a strong message. Its about their country..
#wolf totem
That violin/Cello is called a horse head fiddle. If you look at the top of the instrument you’ll see a shape of a horses head there.
Great reaction video!
You need to watch this video again, turning the captions on and understanding what they are singing.
I love The Hu, Mongolian Warriors🥰 first time i saw them was at smoelenboek (fb) one of my friends was sharring this with me on my page.. i fell inlove right there❤
This gives me chills, and I love it. Maybe what I feel is the stirring of my ancient Central Asian ancestral DNA.

Back to see you react again😁
You do make me smile and brighten my day.

They call it throat singing

Horses were life to the sons of tengri and death to others
That is a Mongolian Horsehead Fiddle - a Morin khuur. The name even sounds badass
When they come to america I'm getting tickets
Do it!
My family and I saw them in Philly in Nov 2019. They were unbelievable! The house was rockin'!
The guys are so humble too.
Have seen them live twice. If you get a chance to see them definitely go. The energy is amazing and they have a very tight sound live.
I have a couple videos from the first concert already on my channel. When they played at The Stone Pony in Jersey.
Sweet that is a must then.

Legalize Shemp Hu as in Hu-un or the shorthand version of Hun, which is why the band is basically “The Hun(s)”
I like how much this guy liked it.

Ow boy! Thank you Olly 👌
One for the daily Playlist🤟
I saw that they were touring in America 😁
Loved how you threw up the horns when they were chanting.
That instrument is Morin khuur (horse headed fiddle).
My husband has discovered them and they are appealing in a gutteral instinctive way to us. We have barely a clue as to the subject matter, just that vibrating chest sound.
They are amazing ...
The 2 stringed instrument is called the horsehead fiddle.
Made me smile.
Horse head fiddle. All of their instruments are traditional Mongolian. I always like to see people react that have never seen them.
Indian heavy metal band that was awesome they got good music you need to check them out more
The hu is my mongolian team HU!!!
So was my reaction..so cool
Only heard the Name of the Band but its the first time i listen to it, not bad.
Still love it. Have you seen the Indian street metal band Bloodywood.
They are not a motorcycle gangsta, they are THE Hoarde, Motor gangsters will shit their pants when these guys charge them
Turn on captions and you can get English lyrics for the song..
If you like that try Hanggai. Great band.
I let my dog listen to The Hu and he turned onto a wolf and my beard grew an extra 2 feet long.
lol
It's a Morin Khuur - 2 string horse headed fiddle, the granddaddy of violins and cellos and all that...
There are traditional Mongolian musical instruments in modern version
The Hu means "The people".
jimmy wrangles the men, Hunnen-The mans
Like...Hu Man...? ;-)
