Tengri is 60 yrs old now, imagine how many yrs he has been practicing to get this incredible sounds !!!!!Just Awesome!!!!💕💕💕💕💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️💕💕
WOW! WOW! WOW! FANTASTIC TENGRI at his very BEST singing about his beloved homeland! Love, Love, Love this song 💋 Next: DIMASH and TENGRI singing SWAN GOOSE? FABULOUS 👍👍👍
i already knew i'd find this comment, but i HAVE to second this. it's one of my favorite dimash performances... it's just divine. please do this one soon! :)
I might have never known of Tengri if he had not done that amazing song with Dimash, "Swan Goose". He is just wonderful! His interpretation of songs and his (usually) gentle voice are such a great combination. I had never heard Mongolian throat singing before, though I had heard overtone singing. I thought they were the same until I was educated by Tengri fans. Thank you for doing this one!
All my life (63 now), I've only listened to French and English songs, because they are my native tongues. Dimash has changed all that for me. This is the first time I hear Tengri (will have to look up Swan Goose) and I like him. I feel like I've been missing out on a lot in my life. I am opening up to new sounds, new music, amazing. Thanks Caleb.
Thank you Caleb for your reaction. Tengger is from Inner Mongolia and the two guys throat singing is correct, they are playing horse hair fiddles, which were traditionally made from Horse bone and the two strings made from horse hair. This song was written about the destruction of his homeland, maybe dedicated to his daughter, who died after this song was composed. He also did a concert in New York in 2001 and dedicated it to the victims of 9/11 attacks. He also plants 100 trees each year in Inner Mongolia, the last part of the song was in Mongolian where he refers to leaving nature to take its course. You will find earlier version of him singing this song, where he has long hair after his daughters death it turned white so he shaved it off. The man with the silver hair is getting upset because he is also Mongolian.
My Grandfather was Mongolian and till his death he used to paint only horses on the grassland and would cry when he talked of his homeland which he had not seen for decades. So every time I hear this song I would cry too
Thanks for another great reaction. I had the chance to see Tengri live when I lived in China a number of years ago and it was an amazing experience. I’m so glad he is preserving his Mongolian heritage and traditional singing styles. Thank you for mentioning them. This was a performance of his own composition. The pain and the emotion come from how the Mongolian highlands described in the song have been decimated by war and occupation. The heavy distortion is on the word “love” when he sings “I love you my homelands.” All of his music proceeds give something back for their restoration. Thanks again for your vocal insights and analysis.
You're right. It's Mongolian throat singing and it's done through different ways, using/manipulating the palate, throat, lips, tongue, stomach and chest to produce different sounds. Tengri has tremendous volume control (ebbing and swelling) and conveys his longing for his hometown in the song. I cried the first time I heard it (like that guy on the video wiping his eyes). I have been to Mongolia and I could picture what he was missing. Thank you for your analysis of Tengri and exposing us to different singers besides Dimash. I love Dimash dearly but there are other great singers out there whose talents need to be recognized as well. I appreciate your sensitivity to great music.
this performance reduces me to tears every time. can't believe i just openly cried like a baby. it's just the combination of his presence; warm, inviting, comforting, in conjunction with his insanely good volume control & technique, as well as the obvious passion with which he sings. truly an epic singer.
Caleb, glad to hear you are feeling better!👍 Amazing isn't he? Happy you have finally gotten around to hearing this. It's so hauntingly beautiful and diverse. I cried the first time I heard this and even though I did not understand the words, his emoting style of singing did what music should do, which is to "draw you in and make the listener feel the colors and not just see them." I discovered both Dimash & Tengri at the same time performing a song together and although admittedly I got sucked into the "Black Hole of the Dimash Universe!"💥 I have never forgotten this particular performance. Both Dimash & Tengri have a way of transporting you to another place and time. (Not trying to sound like a "Nutter" but figuratively speaking!)🙃 But unlike Dimash who is described as singing like an "Alien" from out of this world", Tengri has been described as being very connected and grounded to this world while singing in such a way as to give the planet a voice if it only had one. An example of this is his use of Tuvan / Mongolian style of throat singing in the Intro that emoted very primal "of the earth" images through sound. And then throughout the song using both the "ebb & flow" of his phrasing & tone. Through his unique vocal styling he tells a story describing "Heaven on Earth" with no need to look anywhere else to find his bliss because if not now then eventually he will have it all again someday. ('Just let nature take its course and all will be just as it was".) His "Love", his "Home, his "Homeland. #ForLoveOfCountry #Patriotism Truly Unique, Beautifully Heartfelt & Sublime! 🤗 Hear both Dimash & Tengri perform "Swan Goose" here: th-cam.com/video/8LEXQctl0Q0/w-d-xo.html Enjoy! I apologize for the long comment but it seems that once I get going I kind of get "lost in the sauce!"🤔 Thank you so much for your continued insightful critiques and comments. Looking forward to hear what's next. Til then be well. - J💕
FYI, Caleb, the silver haired gentleman in the back room who gets so emotional is part of the Singer show as a Music partner. He is also from Mongolia like Tengri, probably why the song hit him so hard. This Singer year was when Dimash did the guest performance of Hello and the next thing we know he and Tengri are doing a fantastic duet....Swan Goose! Check it out if you get time. Some one has commented that Tengri does more of the old style Chinese singing, kind of folk style. Great reaction as always! ❤️ from California,🇺🇸
Nice reaction Caleb. I love Tengri and he and Dimash did Swan Goose some time ago as katalin505 also remarked. He reminds me of a Zen Master. Love his singing.
I saw Tengri ...Heaven and I had to click....love this song....thank you for your analysis.....as others suggested next song should be Dimash and Tengri...Swan Goose...great duet....btw I am glad you are feeling better and are back with us
Great reaction, as always! There is a sad story behind this performance involving Tengri’s daughter, that is why he got so emotional during his performance. It’s amazing how we get to see and hear all these different songs and cultures through reaction videos as yours.
Oh my .. that was a powerful and emotional Performance 😪 I did not know it was for his late daughter 😲 I see one of the contestants getting so emotional right there .. Much respect to an incredible artist . Who's definitely earned his place.. Glad ur back to good health Caleb 🌅
Hello!! What a beautiful reaction! The truth is that I do not listen to many songs of Tengri, but this song in particular from the first day I heard it, it reached my heart. His way of singing and the strength of his voice, continue to move me, every time I hear the song again. I live in a culture very different from that of Tengri and in fact I don't know much about it, but this music takes me on a trip through those places and it is a beautiful sensation. It's funny but at some point I feel like it's a song that expresses a noble struggle. Atention!!! haha..Tengri sings a song with Dimash, and you have to listen to it !!! I send you a hug!
Hi Caleb, This incredible song and Tengri's vocal techniques. He composed this song in memory of his late daughter. Next will be Dimash and Tengri's duet called the White Swan which was held at the Music Festival Gala in China in 2018. Thank you Caleb for your continued reaction to Dimash's.
I'm happy to see you react to this. It's more than a little outside of the mainstream of Western style music and approach to singing that takes advantage of other aspects of human anatomy to great effect. This, and another of his songs that he sang with Dimash, are very much my favorite of his. In any event, in all his performances you hear a fully mature musical artist.
Yes I didn't realise how old he was until after I made the video - his voice still has a youthfulness to it, yet that maturity you can hear. Look forward to his performance with Dimash!
Oh that made us worried, hope u feel all healthy & right again😐💚great reaction as always😊thank u. Take care of urself Caleb🌻and later on mabe could react to Dimash &, Tengri duet😘
That was actrually throat singing! I believe the older guy was using vocal fry while the younger was manipulating overtones.The distortion and volume control of Tengger are crazy, and he is able to do that at 60 years old, which is incerdible if you ask me! This song was composed by him for his hometown and deceased daughter. Speaking of Hua Chenyu, he made his own version of this song, please react to it th-cam.com/video/VrJGgiVPEBE/w-d-xo.html
Tengri and Dimash sang a wonderful duet called Swan Goose...a must! Also Tengri Heaven years ago and there is an older video of him singing Heaven in English! Very cool. He had his own rock band back then. In fact he still does!
Tengri is almost a legend in China and Mongolia! Great reactt as usual! U must listen the cover of HEAVEN by HUA HUA. He rearangged it but great too !!!
The version of Hua Chenyo is much softer and maybe that's why he is so impressed by Tangri's version. Hua had to sing this song in a show called Next where the singer is challenged to sing a song (usually old or weird songs) having only 24hs to prepare it. His version is so different, but also beautiful.
Tengri sings from his soul. This song is one he originally wrote and performed decades ago- it made him famous in mainstream China. The sounds are coming from such a visceral place. Combined with the lyrics of loving and wanting to preserve his homeland of Inner Mongolia, it becomes such an artful, powerful performance.
Glad you are feeling better, thank you for the reaction. Hua Chenyu did his version of this same song in the same Singer show! Tengri is quite interesting and I like the song he sings with Dimash, Swan Goose.
Love that this show brings in different traditional cultural singers. This was a joy to see this type of vocal singing. This show has few more singers that you get to hear traditional Chinese operatic styles of singing. As for Hua, you can bet he jumped at the chance of learningTenger's technique. He said he was there to learn from other singers. Tenger taught him the fluting technique and used it in one of his songs during the show, per Hua's interview. Both showed admiration for their artistry to each other. Tenger sings a cool rock version in another performance during this show. Hua also covered his song Heaven on the Next show, where the challenger picked this song for Hua to rearrange in 24 hours.
Although the lyrics is talking about love of homeland, you can feel his pain in the song. In Tengri's memory there is a view of scenic hometown grassland, which however has gone forever. When he perform this in 2018 again, the style changed. And there seems 2nd level of pain. I think it is the pain of lost her loved daughter few years ago. Thanks for your reaction. I first saw copy of your video in domestic webpage. And now I found your original on YT
oh I love this song, first time I heard it, I didn't put subtitle on and all the images that was popping in my head was about heaven! I think this song and performance did its job perfectly. all the vibes with each notes I get is exactly what the song means: Love, Pride, passion, ... it's like an epic movie!the music is one of the most beautiful one I've ever heard! and did you notice tengri can create vowels with smile shaped mouth?! most part of the song he was smiling! I mean in Iran we are familiar to this type of singing but this is more difficult!
Thanks for your reaction! Hope you get well soon! I love this performance, and let's take some time to appreciate Huahua's facial expressions and reaction to this :D lease react to Dimash and Tengri with Swan Goose!
I'm so glad you managed to do a reaction to this, it's a very emotional song with it's imagery. And your comments were very interesting, even the little you know is more than what I know! Thanks again :)
I heard a lot of Mongolian songs but this song is really beautiful and this man is great singer With fabulous technique and a refined sound, he's fifty-eight years old😅😶 good choice caleb👌👌
Caleb, thank you for your reaction and analysis, I've been excited for this one. I had recommended hearing Tengri's original version, then Hua Chenyu's; he did it a few years ago on The Next show. I know you'll love his interpretation of it. Yes, as others have recommended, Swan Goose with Dimash and Tengri is a great one. How great of a concert would it be if you went to a four hour Dimash/Hua/Tengri/So Hyang concert?
Tengri is 58 years old well known singer in China. He is Mongol from inner Mongolia of China. He wrote this song in 1997 to express how much he miss and love his home town. His daughter passed away at a very young age due to illness so this song is for her as well. In the beginning there was traditional Mongolian throat singing. Some traditional Mongolian instrument was used in this performance like horsehead fiddle
It was the big shock during the Singer 2018. Thank you so much for this reaction ! Tengri, national treasure in China, was a former rocker. Today 60 years old, he is, with Liu Huan (winner of Singer 2019), one of the great pioneers of modern music in China.
In this song, of which he is the author, he evokes his beloved country, Inner Mongolia, today ravaged by industrialization. This is a matter of great emotion for Mongolians and Chinese who fear ecological disasters.
Hua Chenyu also sang this song, in her own way. Angela Chang and Huo Zun too. It's a classic. Other Mongolian singers also amazed us :
Hanggai - Reincarnation (with a participation of Liu Huan) : th-cam.com/video/wFCzOeWRpPk/w-d-xo.html Daiqing Tana - Wolf earth : th-cam.com/video/viSktKGmWIQ/w-d-xo.html Tan Weiwei - Nigth in Oolaanbator : th-cam.com/video/Nb_ofw2oi5I/w-d-xo.html
The first time I heard this I about jumped out of my skin. Amazing. Tengri (more commonly, Tengger) was at Singer 2018 so you can check out all his performances there. "Fabric Flower" was particularly beautiful, I thought: th-cam.com/video/LQSYGb2bzmw/w-d-xo.html He is Mongolian and he does do "regular" throat singing. I can't locate the vid right off, but he was on a talk show on which he demonstrated some techniques. For a treat in this style but with a modern twist, check out HU Band. Anything they do is amazing. This MV has been getting two million views a month since November: th-cam.com/video/jM8dCGIm6yc/w-d-xo.html
It's the best song of Tengri. The others are not bad, but "more poppy". Also nothing against "pop and folclore mix". Tengri is still awesome and all his music is very beautiful!! But "Heaven" has more of those unusual traditional parties than other songs of him. React please to Dimash with Tengri - Swan goose.
Oh yes, Tengri is Mongolian and really knows ho to use his voice...both traditional and as rocker... actually HuaHua has been inspired by him to use that flute voice technique.. like in ”New World”, one of his new songs.Thanks for another good reaction!😉🙏
Though you might find it interesting too.^^ It's so different to what we're used to hear in the "west". Like you said, it's like a mix between modern and Mongolian trad singing and I had heard Mongolian / Tibetan throat singing before, but never in this way. I like how much dynamics he has!^^ I didn't know there were different "schools" of throat singing! I'm going to check that out! Thanks for the info and for this video :D
I love how he combines various styles of traditional Chinese singing techniques. He really goes hardcore on the yin yang philosophy of Chinese musicality. I love the finesse he has with combining so many different techniques and overlapping them. Just the way he weaves the crescendo and diminuendo together between phrases sounds like a gigantic vibrato with the vibrato he has as he sings. It's really something amazing. It's awesome how he sings just like they'd play an ancient string instrument, and in those few instances of sounding like a wind instrument.
He did a beautiful performance with Dimash "Swan Goose". Sadly, most of the reacting people focus on dimash but actually Tengri showed some amazing techniques and beautiful low notes..
I read in a comment on another video that the land in Inner Mongolia where Tengri (aka Tengger) lived as a boy has now been destroyed by "development" and that he has spent recent years on a project planting trees in the hope that it will be replenished. This could explain the intense emotion he expresses here. Plus, someone else mentioned the song is basically an invitation to his deceased daughter to join him in his version of Heaven - the land he knew as a boy. I also love this performance th-cam.com/video/p3a85ABpjJo/w-d-xo.html - Tengri reunited his old band for this one - there's a bit of an explanation at the beginning with old photos of him and the band. I believe the song is "Start Over", but I couldn't find any accurate lyrics I was sure of so I'm not sure what it's about, but it's a lot of fun to watch.
Hi! I really enjoy your video, Hua Chenyu it is a big fan of Tengri, actually un other competition he did a cover of the same song, he really love the way Tengri sing ❤
Yes he is absolutely fantastic and wonderful! Please do the Tengri, Dimash duet. Also the lady with the short hair and white shirt next to Jesse is KZ. Please respond to her performance on this show Say Something & Rolling in the Deep. She's fantastic! You won't regret it. 😊 Oh and I'm glad your feeling better. Please take care of yourself. 👍🏽
Whoomei the Mongolia sing style, make me feel like when people is dying, an old shaman use this voice to call your soul back， and say farewell to those people who love you. A music professor said that it's not everyone can sing whoomei. The sound of whoomei is pronounced by a voice lower than low C. I'm not a professional musician, just heard it from a TV show. Great reaction video btw.
This song is basically a plea to let his homeland of Inner Mongolia to recover from the industrialism which has ruined it. Hua Chenyu has previously done a cover of this song and said that he thought that Tengri should have won that week. I think at the beginning one person was doing throat singing, and the other was doing harmonic overtone singing done by manipulating the tongue and mouth cavity. There is a European woman on TH-cam who has demonstrations and lessons."Polyphonic Overtone Singing - Anna-Maria Hefele" (I'll give the link separately)
Wow. Great song by Tengri. You will be amazed if you react to the Hu band, which is a new rock band of Mongolia. The band just successfully finished its tour in Europe and soon will start touring in the USA by mid September of this year. I can't wait to see your another good reaction to the Hu band. Please first react to Wolf Totem. Thank you :-)
Isn't easy for us in the West to discount remarkable singers just because they don't fit our "mold?" That's what I love about the Singer Series! It brought us -- particularly me -- new artists from around the world that we would never have otherwise known about! And I can only tell you now -- a year removed -- that my life has been changed by the likes of Hua Chenyu, Terry Lin, Dimash, and Jason, etc. Again my life has never been the same! Thank you Caleb for reaching out of your personal comfort zone and taking on these Reactions! You rock, brother! Even if it's from Down Under! Ha!
Hua Chenyu also did this song on Singer and completely different but equally beautiful. Tengri is incredible and I love the Mongolian style of singing, so unique. Here is the link to Chenyu singing Heaven. th-cam.com/video/VrJGgiVPEBE/w-d-xo.html
My request finally 😄. Thanks caleb! For other singers like this on The Singer you should try Tan WeiWei “night of Ulan bazaar”. She actually won the entire season of the Singer if I remember correctly.
Tengrii such a wonderful artist, for me was something I never heard before. He had a performance with dimash maybe you can react to it :D also from the singer I hope you could react to henry huo
Mongolians still speak sky as "Tenger" just in all day normal speeches, Tengri is an old mongolian writing pronounciation. Respect our great singer, inner mongolian. Beginning shows, the traditional mongolian khuumii and horse fiddles.
Hua Hua did a cover of this as well. It will be interesting to see what you think ot it! This is the original singer and ths original song is from the 70's??
Tengri is 60 yrs old now, imagine how many yrs he has been practicing to get this incredible sounds !!!!!Just Awesome!!!!💕💕💕💕💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️💕💕
WOW! WOW! WOW!
FANTASTIC TENGRI at his very BEST singing about his beloved homeland!
Love, Love, Love this song 💋
Next: DIMASH and TENGRI singing SWAN GOOSE?
FABULOUS 👍👍👍
Thank you Caleb. Please react Tengdi and Dimash " Swan Goose"- from Hungary
I agree. Please do, Caleb. You'll be delighted.
i already knew i'd find this comment, but i HAVE to second this. it's one of my favorite dimash performances... it's just divine. please do this one soon! :)
X3, I know your mind will blow away with that performance, Caleb
Tengri and Dimash " Swan Goose"- STUNNING & BEAUTIFUL!
A must watch swan goose duet of tengri and dimash!

So glad you decided on Tengri, he is really good.I believe he wrote this song. Also, he has a video with Dimash. Uses a lot of power and control.
Thanks for another great reaction. I had the chance to see Tengri live when I lived in China a number of years ago and it was an amazing experience.

Heart wrenching. Amazing control
Thanks Caleb. Beautiful song. What our life be without musics of the world?! 💗💗💗
No words can describe the emotion this song awoke in me....crying in 30 sec....really different dimension....Jesus! Amazing! :)

Really love and admire this man
Bravo !!! Tengri He sings fantastic, I also sing with Dimash I hope to react to that song one day !!!👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Atention!!! haha..Tengri sings a song with Dimash, and you have to listen to it !!!
I send you a hug!
This is spectacular to listen to,the rawness of his voice and the traditional sounds are a joy to listen to
Hi Caleb,
This incredible song and Tengri's vocal techniques. He composed this song in memory of his late daughter. Next will be Dimash and Tengri's duet called the White Swan which was held at the Music Festival Gala in China in 2018. Thank you Caleb for your continued reaction to Dimash's.
Also known as Swan Goose...
I'm happy to see you react to this. It's more than a little outside of the mainstream of Western style music and approach to singing that takes advantage of other aspects of human anatomy to great effect. This, and another of his songs that he sang with Dimash, are very much my favorite of his. In any event, in all his performances you hear a fully mature musical artist.
Yes I didn't realise how old he was until after I made the video - his voice still has a youthfulness to it, yet that maturity you can hear. Look forward to his performance with Dimash!
Oh that made us worried, hope u feel all healthy & right again😐💚great reaction as always😊thank u. Take care of urself Caleb🌻and later on mabe could react to Dimash &, Tengri duet😘
....yes, and version of HUA HUA
That was actrually throat singing! I believe the older guy was using vocal fry while the younger was manipulating overtones.The distortion and volume control of Tengger are crazy, and he is able to do that at 60 years old, which is incerdible if you ask me! This song was composed by him for his hometown and deceased daughter. Speaking of Hua Chenyu, he made his own version of this song, please react to it th-cam.com/video/VrJGgiVPEBE/w-d-xo.html
I love this performance. Thank you very much!
man i just like the way you focus on listening the song itself. Only few youtubers can do that that's pure amazing
Magic🤗. Thank You for this reaction!
One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard in my life.
Tengri and Dimash sang a wonderful duet called Swan Goose...a must! Also Tengri Heaven years ago and there is an older video of him singing Heaven in English! Very cool. He had his own rock band back then. In fact he still does!
This song always gives me shivers. Great reaction!
Tengri is almost a legend in China and Mongolia! Great reactt as usual! U must listen the cover of HEAVEN by HUA HUA. He rearangged it but great too !!!
The version of Hua Chenyo is much softer and maybe that's why he is so impressed by Tangri's version. Hua had to sing this song in a show called Next where the singer is challenged to sing a song (usually old or weird songs) having only 24hs to prepare it. His version is so different, but also beautiful.
I think I'm going to start listening to this music. That was amazing.
never to late...i have great mongolian cds for many years...the country of horses and the best riders...
I LOVE TENGRI... YOUR VOICE IS SO DIFFERENT...HE WAS MY SINGER FEVER IN THE SINGER 2018...HUGS.. BRAZIL
Tengri sings from his soul. This song is one he originally wrote and performed decades ago- it made him famous in mainstream China. The sounds are coming from such a visceral place. Combined with the lyrics of loving and wanting to preserve his homeland of Inner Mongolia, it becomes such an artful, powerful performance.
👏👏👏That performance is so good! Love the Mongolian native sound and his amazing voice technics!! You get drawn in!! 🎸🎤🎻🎶🎹
Magnifico, me encanta, Bravo Tengri
Glad you are feeling better, thank you for the reaction. Hua Chenyu did his version of this same song in the same Singer show! Tengri is quite interesting and I like the song he sings with Dimash, Swan Goose.
It's on The Next, not in The Singer, that Hua Chenyu performed this same song. It's worth to see how he rearranged it, both version are very good.
Thank you for the correct information.
Tengri é excepcional!!
Banda mongol extraordinária!!
👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿👏🏾😀😍🎶🎶🎶🇧🇷🇧🇷
Love that this show brings in different traditional cultural singers. This was a joy to see this type of vocal singing. This show has few more singers that you get to hear traditional Chinese operatic styles of singing. As for Hua, you can bet he jumped at the chance of learningTenger's technique. He said he was there to learn from other singers. Tenger taught him the fluting technique and used it in one of his songs during the show, per Hua's interview. Both showed admiration for their artistry to each other. Tenger sings a cool rock version in another performance during this show. Hua also covered his song Heaven on the Next show, where the challenger picked this song for Hua to rearrange in 24 hours.
Thank you Caleb. I seemed to hear the voice of nature itself.
Although the lyrics is talking about love of homeland, you can feel his pain in the song. In Tengri's memory there is a view of scenic hometown grassland, which however has gone forever. When he perform this in 2018 again, the style changed. And there seems 2nd level of pain. I think it is the pain of lost her loved daughter few years ago. Thanks for your reaction. I first saw copy of your video in domestic webpage. And now I found your original on YT
I have watched a lot of live songs. I like Tengri Heaven the most.
oh I love this song, first time I heard it, I didn't put subtitle on and all the images that was popping in my head was about heaven! I think this song and performance did its job perfectly. all the vibes with each notes I get is exactly what the song means: Love, Pride, passion, ... it's like an epic movie!the music is one of the most beautiful one I've ever heard!
and did you notice tengri can create vowels with smile shaped mouth?! most part of the song he was smiling! I mean in Iran we are familiar to this type of singing but this is more difficult!
Yeah good point!
Thanks for your reaction! Hope you get well soon! I love this performance, and let's take some time to appreciate Huahua's facial expressions and reaction to this :D lease react to Dimash and Tengri with Swan Goose!
Great reaction!
Tengri and Dimash!! Fantastic plis !! Tanks
I'm so glad you managed to do a reaction to this, it's a very emotional song with it's imagery. And your comments were very interesting, even the little you know is more than what I know! Thanks again :)
I heard a lot of Mongolian songs but this song is really beautiful and this man is great singer With fabulous technique and a refined sound, he's fifty-eight years old😅😶 good choice caleb👌👌
Caleb, thank you for your reaction and analysis, I've been excited for this one. I had recommended hearing Tengri's original version, then Hua Chenyu's; he did it a few years ago on The Next show. I know you'll love his interpretation of it.
Yes, as others have recommended, Swan Goose with Dimash and Tengri is a great one.
How great of a concert would it be if you went to a four hour Dimash/Hua/Tengri/So Hyang concert?
I would need to catch an Aeroplane from Australia to get to that concert if it ever happened :)
@@CalebColesMusic From Florida for me :-)
Мне так нравятся твои реакции: ты глубоко чувствуешь и понимаешь музыку и очень "вкусно" можешь об этом рассказать! Ну и улыбка - чудо :) Спасибо!
Tengri super hombre... Te lleva a otra dimensión
Thanks Caleb. So glad you are feeling better. Please react to Tengri and Dimash singing Swan Goose. You will love it...
Tengri is 58 years old well known singer in China. He is Mongol from inner Mongolia of China. He wrote this song in 1997 to express how much he miss and love his home town. His daughter passed away at a very young age due to illness so this song is for her as well. In the beginning there was traditional Mongolian throat singing. Some traditional Mongolian instrument was used in this performance like horsehead fiddle
Спасибо Caleb, Тенгри спел просто улёт. Береги себя и не болей.Ждем новых реакции на нашего любимого Димаша.
This is my favorite song by Tengri.
Great reaction as always! You may be interested to know Hua Chenyu covered this song also and has a completely different take on it 👌
It was the big shock during the Singer 2018. Thank you so much for this reaction !
Tengri, national treasure in China, was a former rocker. Today 60 years old, he is, with Liu Huan (winner of Singer 2019), one of the great pioneers of modern music in China.
In this song, of which he is the author, he evokes his beloved country, Inner Mongolia, today ravaged by industrialization. This is a matter of great emotion for Mongolians and Chinese who fear ecological disasters.
Hua Chenyu also sang this song, in her own way. Angela Chang and Huo Zun too. It's a classic.
Other Mongolian singers also amazed us :
Hanggai
- Reincarnation (with a participation of Liu Huan) :

Thanks for sharing :)
For other Mongolian singers who use traditional styles in contemporary music try Tan WeiWei "Night of Ulan Batuur" and The Hu "Yuve Yuve Yu".
Two of my most favorite (by far) non-Dimash performances. Excellent recommendations, Alex.
@@Snarky_Tart You are too nice. If you aren't careful you will have to change your name to FomerlySnarkyTart ;-)
@@ubervocal8777 Maybe I'm losing my edge. Blame Dimash :-D
The first time I heard this I about jumped out of my skin. Amazing.
Tengri (more commonly, Tengger) was at Singer 2018 so you can check out all his performances there. "Fabric Flower" was particularly beautiful, I thought:
th-cam.com/video/LQSYGb2bzmw/w-d-xo.html
He is Mongolian and he does do "regular" throat singing. I can't locate the vid right off, but he was on a talk show on which he demonstrated some techniques.
For a treat in this style but with a modern twist, check out HU Band. Anything they do is amazing. This MV has been getting two million views a month since November:
th-cam.com/video/jM8dCGIm6yc/w-d-xo.html
oh forgot to tell, i didn't understand the language but i felt quite emotional (happy tears) with this song.
Tks your reaction ，very professional
It's the best song of Tengri. The others are not bad, but "more poppy". Also nothing against "pop and folclore mix". Tengri is still awesome and all his music is very beautiful!! But "Heaven" has more of those unusual traditional parties than other songs of him.
React please to Dimash with Tengri - Swan goose.
Oh yes, Tengri is Mongolian and really knows ho to use his voice...both traditional and as rocker... actually HuaHua has been inspired by him to use that flute voice technique.. like in ”New World”, one of his new songs.Thanks for another good reaction!😉🙏
Though you might find it interesting too.^^ It's so different to what we're used to hear in the "west". Like you said, it's like a mix between modern and Mongolian trad singing and I had heard Mongolian / Tibetan throat singing before, but never in this way. I like how much dynamics he has!^^
I didn't know there were different "schools" of throat singing! I'm going to check that out! Thanks for the info and for this video :D
Tengri is amazing :)- please check out the mongolian metal band the HU :)
Love him and this reaction! Please react to Dimash and the super vocal boys singing the Queen tribute medley, its so incredible!
I love how he combines various styles of traditional Chinese singing techniques. He really goes hardcore on the yin yang philosophy of Chinese musicality. I love the finesse he has with combining so many different techniques and overlapping them. Just the way he weaves the crescendo and diminuendo together between phrases sounds like a gigantic vibrato with the vibrato he has as he sings. It's really something amazing.
It's awesome how he sings just like they'd play an ancient string instrument, and in those few instances of sounding like a wind instrument.
I am in tears every time I watch this performance. So sad, most reactors completely missed the song and just focus on the vocal acrobats.
Tengger (Tengri), Dimash, and Wu Tong can sing me to sleep every night.
He did a beautiful performance with Dimash "Swan Goose". Sadly, most of the reacting people focus on dimash but actually Tengri showed some amazing techniques and beautiful low notes..
Very interesting, different, never heard that sound! cool
I read in a comment on another video that the land in Inner Mongolia where Tengri (aka Tengger) lived as a boy has now been destroyed by "development" and that he has spent recent years on a project planting trees in the hope that it will be replenished. This could explain the intense emotion he expresses here. Plus, someone else mentioned the song is basically an invitation to his deceased daughter to join him in his version of Heaven - the land he knew as a boy.
I also love this performance th-cam.com/video/p3a85ABpjJo/w-d-xo.html - Tengri reunited his old band for this one - there's a bit of an explanation at the beginning with old photos of him and the band. I believe the song is "Start Over", but I couldn't find any accurate lyrics I was sure of so I'm not sure what it's about, but it's a lot of fun to watch.
Maravilloso, gracias Caleb
Hi Caleb, thanks for your reaction Tengger's Heaven. You are professional.
Hi! I really enjoy your video, Hua Chenyu it is a big fan of Tengri, actually un other competition he did a cover of the same song, he really love the way Tengri sing ❤
Love heaven song :-)
Yes he is absolutely fantastic and wonderful! Please do the Tengri, Dimash duet. Also the lady with the short hair and white shirt next to Jesse is KZ. Please respond to her performance on this show Say Something & Rolling in the Deep. She's fantastic! You won't regret it. 😊
Oh and I'm glad your feeling better. Please take care of yourself. 👍🏽
At last!!! Thank you, thank you, thank youuuuuu!!!
thank u man ，u did it ，thank a lot
Whoomei the Mongolia sing style, make me feel like when people is dying, an old shaman use this voice to call your soul back， and say farewell to those people who love you. A music professor said that it's not everyone can sing whoomei. The sound of whoomei is pronounced by a voice lower than low C. I'm not a professional musician, just heard it from a TV show. Great reaction video btw.
This song is basically a plea to let his homeland of Inner Mongolia to recover from the industrialism which has ruined it. Hua Chenyu has previously done a cover of this song and said that he thought that Tengri should have won that week. I think at the beginning one person was doing throat singing, and the other was doing harmonic overtone singing done by manipulating the tongue and mouth cavity. There is a European woman on TH-cam who has demonstrations and lessons."Polyphonic Overtone Singing - Anna-Maria Hefele" (I'll give the link separately)
Thanks! Yeah they are both doing different types of throat singing - she is manipulating the over tones :)
Wow. Great song by Tengri. You will be amazed if you react to the Hu band, which is a new rock band of Mongolia. The band just successfully finished its tour in Europe and soon will start touring in the USA by mid September of this year. I can't wait to see your another good reaction to the Hu band. Please first react to Wolf Totem. Thank you :-)
Isn't easy for us in the West to discount remarkable singers just because they don't fit our "mold?" That's what I love about the Singer Series! It brought us -- particularly me -- new artists from around the world that we would never have otherwise known about! And I can only tell you now -- a year removed -- that my life has been changed by the likes of Hua Chenyu, Terry Lin, Dimash, and Jason, etc. Again my life has never been the same! Thank you Caleb for reaching out of your personal comfort zone and taking on these Reactions! You rock, brother! Even if it's from Down Under! Ha!
Completely agree. I love hearing these out of the box artists. Or at least out of my box :)
That’s what make Mongolian good singers. Mongolian started singing this technique since young.
Hua Chenyu has rearranged this song and it’s also worth listening to, cause it’s soooooooo beautiful!!
Oh god so beautiful '-'
Hi! Hua makes his own version of this same song on the show. :)
Hua Chenyu also did this song on Singer and completely different but equally beautiful. Tengri is incredible and I love the Mongolian style of singing, so unique. Here is the link to Chenyu singing Heaven. th-cam.com/video/VrJGgiVPEBE/w-d-xo.html
My request finally 😄. Thanks caleb! For other singers like this on The Singer you should try Tan WeiWei “night of Ulan bazaar”. She actually won the entire season of the Singer if I remember correctly.
Tengrii such a wonderful artist, for me was something I never heard before. He had a performance with dimash maybe you can react to it :D also from the singer I hope you could react to henry huo
Mongolians still speak sky as "Tenger" just in all day normal speeches, Tengri is an old mongolian writing pronounciation. Respect our great singer, inner mongolian. Beginning shows, the traditional mongolian khuumii and horse fiddles.
Caleb, you have to make a cover of this song, don't forget it please.
Your comments are really on point!!!!
Hua has done his own version of this it's very interesting very different very moving
Hua Hua did a cover of this as well. It will be interesting to see what you think ot it! This is the original singer and ths original song is from the 70's??
