This is something not to overthink. Feel it. It makes sense.

The instrument is a Morin Khuur (horsehead fiddle). I love the bass tone in his voice in contrast to the higher pitch of the Morin Khuur. ❤

In another vido by them, Yuve Yuve Yu, he makes that Horse Head fiddle whinney like a horse. Love your reaction.

Best reaction I've seen to this song. Great analysis and perspective. I've learned a lot of their culture from their songs/lyrics/videos.

In the same picture that shows your break lever. I have the skull ring on his muddle finger. It was a present for my 50th birthday.

Also the whistle like sound at the beginning, before the video starts, is throat singing.

That was an awesome reaction! Thank you for sharing and introducing me to this group! This was captivating!❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

Love this song and band, I’m part Native on both sides of my family so I love fellow indigenous cultures from around the world

The main band members: Gala / Lead Throat Singer and Morin Khuur- "the cello like thing", Enkush / Lead Morin Khuur and Throat Singer, Jaya / Jaw Harp, Tsuur, Flute, and Throat Singer, Temka / Tovshuur- guitar like instrument, Ono / percussion, tumur hhuur- jaw harp, backing vocals, Jamba / - guitars, backing vocals, Davaa/ bass, backing vocals, Odko / drums.

Yes, you're right. When you play Moring Huur, you don't press on the string.

On a lot of their videos you can use captions. They do match ive seen others use them. HU in Mongolian means Human. I'M A HU FAN FOR LIFE!!! The strings on the morin khuur is made out of 200 horse tail hairs one string is male and one is female.

The strings on the Morin Khuur are horsehair not metal so string tensions aren't the same as an electric modern instrument.

the strings on their instruments (called Morin Khuur, aka horse fiddles) are made of horse hair, if I am not mistaken....

Hai mr T i am from the netherlands and i likes your reaction..and the most People nows english...i am sorry for writing wrong words but i am trying😅 nice job 👍😘🍀

So i don't know Mongolian myself, but considering the origin of this song is a war chant from the days of Khans (can't remember if it's specifically Chinggis/Ghengis or another one) that was modified for this it's very likely the video lyrics are correct after checking the link you provided, they are boasting their strength and adaptability and also talking about the units and specializations in war times: the ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand line, those were the amounts of soldiers in different military divisions and the flooding, swarming, flying, charging line was about weaponry (archery and swords) and tactics (ofc isolating enemies so they break formation and I don't know if the timeline is right but I do remember historical records of old Chinese military using artificial floods by overflowing rivers to drown enemies and slow down transport).

Finger technique on the Morin Khuur is described here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morin_khuur

Hi there, both translation is little bit off. Actual lyrics in Mongolian is somewhat epic and poetic. The link you have sent has captured little bit of its poetic side but I feel like to keep it poetic it actually went separate ways with the actual lines being sang. Translation on the MV is actually very rigid and doesn't feel like it did justice to this song. Great analysis and thanks for the reaction video.

Watched quite a few reactions to The Hu and yours was up there with the best. I would suggest that you check out their collaboration with Lizzi Hail from Hailstorm in Song of Women. East meets West, made for each other. Enjoy !

I'm going to paraphrase a reactor from a couple years ago... if you and your buddies are out cruising for a fight, and you see these guys up on a hill.... they are NOT the ones you're going to choose. You're going to quietly ride on.

Mongolian Metal. Nuff said

Talking about Genghis Khan aka Chinggis Khan who conquered most of the known world at the time, he’s equal with Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and others

THE HU 🙏❤️🇲🇳

Ready to ride across the steppes and take all comers? :) This is a great song. If you're interested in more international groups, I'm going to suggest Heilung (Hi-lung) and "Krigsgaldr" in particular. If you enjoyed "The Wolf Totem", you should like that one too.

11th century war chant

cheers. id love to listen to a old guy talk bout music. You should really check out babymetal (live) if u never seen them. they are HUGE worldwide. Japanese metal band and they will blow your channel up and every song they have is amazing. Cheers, hope to see you react to more. Love from canada.

There are some problems with English translations using CC but not always. Sometimes you just have to test it at first and see how it goes. This song is a war chant. The English seems correct to me. When it works great then be sure to use it, it really helps with songs in other than English. This one and most of The HU has very good translations. You will notice the HU band official videos are beautiful with lovely scenery most of the time, at it's interesting. Enjoyed your reaction, keep going. More Hu, more Ren and the Big Push (with Ren) ~ Ada

Authentic tribal instruments. I ain;t Googlin that shit. LOL But, great reaction!

My favorite of them is Song of Women.

12th century war chant

I think official translation is affordable. Because they never say leopard

That string is made out of horse tail

😴😴😴
