Chingisid empire thus mongol ethnicity came after Gokturk empire build on it's land with Turkic people as the empire now you called mongol empire were called Chingisid Empire it was a Turkic federation that neither had sole mongol etnicity or was mongolian in it's entirety. it's army,systems,language hell even language on it's money was Turkic and when the khan die 5 Turkic Empires build from it. Mongols are 3 milion turks like 100 time more.

    The emblem at the start of the video is their "totem", the Snow Leopard. These guys fill a hole inside me that I never knew I had.

The other part of me wants to attack churches, slaughter monks and steal anything that's remotely gold or silver. Sigh. I'm sure the neighbors would complain.
    By the way, I thought I gave you the link to the vid with the English translation! That's half the fun!!! Remember, these guys are THE HUN, as in ATTILA THE!! This is a much more sedate invasion that the last one. Less running and screaming from the audience, fewer flying body parts and a lot less blood drenching the ground.

      @@Regalya The Hunnic Empire consisted of multiple tribes, with many different languages spoken. The name Attila could derive from Turkic languages or there are also possibilities that it originated from a Gothic language. Some of his relatives have names that sound Turkic, others have names resembling those of Gaulish and Germanic tribes. Historians believe he may have been of a Turkic ethnicity based on a second-hand description of his appearance, so I'm not arguing that his ethnicity could not be Turkic. That being said, the place in which he was born was Pannonia, a province of the Roman Empire which is known in the present day as Transdanubia, Hungary. The Hunnic Empire. Attila the Hun. Hungary. Surely you can see the connection? It's right in the names. Modern day Hungarians can trace their history back to Attila the Hun, so I'm not wrong in saying that Attila the Hun is Hungarian.
      Moving on to Genghis Khan, he's Mongolian. He likely spoke an old version of Mongolian, related to the extinct Khitan language. It was believed at one point that Mongolian was related to Turkic, Tungusic, Korean and Japonic languages, however this theory is now considered obsolete by most comparative linguists.

    The Hu is a Mongolian heavy metal band formed in 2016. With traditional Mongolian instrumentation, including the Morin khuur, Tovshuur and Mongolian throat singing, the band calls their style of music "hunnu rock", hu inspired by the Hunnu, an ancient Mongolian empire, known as The Huns in western culture. Some of the band’s lyrics include old Mongolian war cries and poetry.

    It is traditional Mongolian throat singing. It is done using the false vocal folds below the larynx. It is much closer to metal growling than to clean singing, except it's modulated so you have actual tones. A good throat singer can sing two notes at a time, one in the throat and one using the actual vocal cords. The upper note is in the head-voice, and resonates with the low note. You actually heard the lead singer do it several times-it was not production overlay. Its him.

    @zaarkhananal7165 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The two stringed instruments are Mongolian instruments called Morin khuur. If you look at the neck of the instruments you'll see that the length of the neck is almost equal to the length of a violin in itself. That's how the instrument is able to provide such a wide range of notes, because the neck's so long.

  • @abstractedaway
    @abstractedaway 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the most fascinating things about these spike fiddles, the morin-khuur in the video and its Tuvan cousin, the igil, is that the strings are a bunch of horsehair, just like the bowstring. This gives them a characteristic whinny that is said to bring the spirit of horses to the music.

  • @darlenehargrove1645
    @darlenehargrove1645 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I agree you should check out more of their music. Each member of The HU has a degree in music, and Jaya, who plays the Jawharp is a teacher also at the same school where they all studied. Also, to answer one of your comments or maybe questions their style of throat singing, they can make two separate notes one high and one low at the same time. So, in a way, their throat singing is also an instrument.

    • @ChaseCarneson

  • @myprophet1
    @myprophet1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    2 strings both made from the tail hair of horses. One from a mare condisting of 28[?] hairs. The other from the tail of a stallion 32[?] hairs. The bow, like western bows is also horse hair. Morin khuur or horsehead fiddle.
    The singing is tuvaan, throat singing. They begin training as toddlers. This technique predates language.

    Bloodywood, indian folklore metal! They mix indian folk sounds and instruments with metal, and it sounds freakin amazing. Most of their songs are in support or raising awareness of heavy subjects, like depression or poverty, and they even fund and raise help and funds to try and help, like they mention in almost all of their videos.
    Here's a couple:

    Even you can produce an octave to some degree. Sing a comfortably low "oo" vowel, then slowly change ti to an "ee" while bending your tongue back. There is a sweet spot. Of course they are able to much more than that. Search for "Mongolian overtone singing" and you'll hear some amazing stuff.

  • @timomastosalo
    @timomastosalo 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    One friend of mine has practiced the throat singing, and can master it for a moment. But it takes training of the throat muscles, obviously.
    But what I understood of the teaching about the technique, is that they activate the secondary vocal chords too. Most of the time it adds that blood curdling raspy sound - who knows if someone came up with it to scare opponents: wouldn't surprise me with all the fear of evil spirits and other supernatural people were afraid of. The weird thinking is, you can also produce a very high pitch flute-like sound with them, the sort of wind pipe sound you can get by circling a plastic tube fast in the air, or other more traditional tube-shaped objects. They apply that technique in their other songs. I think it can be done by tightening the secondary vocal chords, but that is the next step after first being able to do the raspy sound. And what I've heard, it seems it can't be done flat out cold, so the tremolo of the raspy voice is likely needed to warm the muscles and other tissue in the throat. Just like the voice opening is often started with just humming, trembling the vocal chords slightly.

    I'd love to see a reaction to Dordeduh - Dojana [official music video] a Romanian band; they're also using lots of.. traditional instruments in that song: the semantron (basically a wooden plank, used mainly in orthodox churches), an instrument pretty similar to an alpenhorn called bucium and the cimbalom.

    Their singing style is NO EFFECT, 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), That horse head instrument is called morin khuur (horse head fiddle) . Next like a guitar instrument is called tovshuur (Mongolian traditional guitar). The Hu said they are created new genre then they called that Hunnu rock.

    The funny thing about the 'everything new' that the other instruments do, is that they are new to US, Westerners - but the instruments themselves are actually older than the rock instruments we're used to hear :) Well, I'm sure there has been some adjustments along the centuries, but a 2-stringer like that, at least when from horsetail hair, hails from Genghis Khan time and before. The 3-string 'guitar' could be newer, I don't know. But fit into their tradition.

  • @AprellaDguild
    @AprellaDguild 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you want 'unique' things I suggest you take a look at Apocalyptica. While they're music sounds like general metal, they do not use guitars but cellos. The band basically exist out of a couple of dudes playing the cello and a drummer. They often invite guest vocals to sing on their songs but they also have a bunch of instrumental songs. They started out as a Metallica cover band.
    One of my favourite songs are I Don't Care, Life Burns (this one is the 'heaviest' in the list) and Bittersweet (this being a beautiful ballad doesn't 'amaze' as much as the others on cello aspect)

    Interesting mix of ancient and modern. The warrior on horseback leading the motorcycles. The bikers as posse to the traditional musicians. These are the descendants of the Great Mongols who conquered the entire continent of China and half way to Rome the other direction. A war song by them is, of course, impressive.
    I've heard the instrument they play is called a Gala (gah-lah).
