I’m a Mandalorian, epic themes are a part of my religion.

Oh dear High Ground this is about to be the best after school premiere in history

"Mandalorian isnt a race, Its a Creed"

The song commonly refereed to as "Mandalorian War Song" is called Dha Werda Verda "The Shadow Warriors" in Mando'a. The Taung(The Original Mandalorians) was in a war with the Zhell(Early Humans). Both were natives of Early Coruscant and a war broke out. The Taung defeated the Zhell when a super volcano erupted and plunged the planet into darkness for years. The Taung earned the name "The Shadow Warriors" from this war. A "poem" was made about this feat and is how Dha Werda Verda was made. Of course, this is all legends and removed from canon when Disney bought Lucas Films. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Gotta love how tribal this sounds, speaks to the fact that Mandalorian culture is self reliant and honors its customs.

"People who dislike this masterpiece..." *Loads Disintegrator* "...Don't survive..."

I hope Filoni slides in a slight Jingle of Vode an for season 2, it doesn't have to be the whole song or chanting, just the tune played on a recorder or something

Me: Sees Samuel Kim Music new video with cool Mandalorian cover art. Clicks... Video: Premieres in 7 hours. Me: cries... This is outrageous! It's unfair! How can you be on KZfaq and not be watchable? Also video: Not even watchable yet, and already has 62 comments. This is the way.

This turned out awesome as usual!! Thanks for always challenging me!

2018 - "Do you know tha wey?" 🤷‍♂️ ~ Ugandan Knuckles 2020 - "This is the Way"😎 ~ The Mandalorian

Ancient Mandalorians would fly "Basilisk War Droid" mounts into battle. Damn, even the name sounds cool.

Samuel Kim being absolutely LEGENDARY as always! This is the way.

Aruetiise: oh hah cool Samuel Kim Mando'ade: *Kachiro Bridge flashbacks*

"Win or lose, as long as the fight is worthy, then honor is gained. The glory at having triumphed over impossible odds is what drives us. If there's nothing at stake - your possessions, your life, your world - then the battle's meaningless. We Mandalorians take everything we are and throw it into battle. It's the true test of yourself - the battle against death... against oblivion." - Canderous Ordo

Tough as ash beats within republic's hart dark shadows rage we are coruscant's ruthless sons let all those who stand before us light the night in flame our vengeance burning brighter still.

OK. I'll go play Republic commando the very moment when you know the words of a song by heart

This is the way

The amount of love that Samuel Kim gives to Vode An warms my heart. I thought I was the only person who loved that track as much as I did. I'm so happy to be proven wrong.

LORE NERD TIME WOOOOO (Non-canon, unfortunately. its still awesome though.) Dha Werda Verda and Vode An are two ancient Mandalorian war chants that were featured in the soundtrack of Star Wars: Republic Commando. In english, their names translate to "Warriors of the Shadow" and "Brothers All" respectively, though Dha Werda Verda is more commonly referred to in English by "Rage of the Shadow Warriors." Lore-wise, some lyrics were changed by the Cuy'val Dar, the (mostly) Mandalorian trainers hired by Jango Fett to train the Clone Army, to fit the theme of the Grand Army of the Republic, so any lyrics in the originals that referred to Mandalore or Mand'alor were changed to Coruscant and The Jedi. Ive talked to death about Vode An in different comments sections, but Dha Werda Verda rarely gets so much of a spotlight. so ill take this chance. Rage of the Shadow Warriors might be one of the oldest songs in Mandalorian history, dating back from before the inception of the Mando'ade entirely. On ancient Coruscant, then known as Notron, a war raged between two races, the Zhell and the Taung. During one specific battle, a massive volcanic eruption covered much of the planet in smoke and ash, scattering the Zhell into chaos, but the Taung took it as an advantage, and used the darkness to drive the Zhell off and score a major victory. This is where the Taung became known as the Shadow Warriors, their rage and ferocity being ever immortalized in this song. Eventually the Zhell would recover and drive the Taung completely off the world, where they would eventually be lead to a new planet by Mandalore the First and become the Mandalorians as we know them, while the Zhell became known as "Humanity" and help form the Republic on Coruscant as we know it. Their ancient war would then continue years later when Mandalore the First arrived with his army of Mandalorian Crusaders to take vengeance, and so the centuries of the Mandalore Wars began. Dha Werda Verda is a violent song. not only in its content, but by the traditional dance that goes with it. The dancers would form into a line, and beat the rhythm of the song on their chest and those around them. one false step or mistake, and you were likely to find a fist landing in your face, and with its frenetic beat and fast tempo, it was hard to perform. (if you imagine it like a Mandalorian version of Trombone Suicide, you'd have the right idea. at least, by Karen Travis' description of it in the Republic Commando novels. There isnt any official choreography out there for what the dance REALLY looked like, and all the fan made ones ive seen on the internet were...underwhelming to say the least.)

this guy just brought mongol throat singing to the mandalorians and now i think i wont stop listening to this

"...do we announce it the old fashoned way, with an invading army at their borders?" -Question of how to announce the discovery of a new Beskar deposit on Mandalore after the War with the Vongese (Legacy of the Force: Sacrifice by Karen Traviss)

Can you make a Welcome to Jurassic Park epic?

God, I want to hear something like this on the show. Ludwig Goransen is more than capable. I mean look at Black Panther! I know Pedro Pascal can't sing, but he doesn't necessarily have to join in. They're never delving into the Mandalorian culture enough to let us hear anything even vaguely Mando'a are they?

Yay more Mandalorian content! Tho sidenote could you make a Darth Nihilus: Epic theme?

Probably, if Bo-Katan Kryze and Din Djarin fight for darksaber, we will hear this soundtrack.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I think I may have requested Rage of The Shadow Warriors when you 1st did Vode An. If I didn't....it doesn't matter. It's coming and I cannot flipping wait.

I was highly disappointed when there wasnt any Mandalorian Music in *The Mandalorian* but they wanted that Western feel, which of course is good and all. But they didnt even speak Mando'a! Wasted opportunity.

imagine Samuel actually posting a bad song, I couldn't edit: WAIT WHAT 170 LIKES THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT!

For those who don't know, this song is very old going all the way back to the war between the Taung (original natives of Coruscant) and the first Human colonists known as the Zhell. A volcanic eruption blackened the skies of Coruscant so the Taung battled the human invaders but ultimately lost the war. They departed in star ships and later settled on Roon before finding and settling on the planet Mandalore.

1:27 to 1:56 just hits especially hard 🔥

We should never forget that it was Karen Travis that gave us this epic backstory for the Republic Commandos.

Kay so when a legion of mandalorian cosplayers overrun the world we’re playing this as they march right?

Cool he finally did the Dha wherda verda. All he has left is Gratua cuun and he’s gotten all of my favorite republic commando songs

Alternate title: The Last Stand of Paz Viszla

When you must understand what it means to be Mandalorian, understand the discipline & training of the Spartans & adaptability of the Roman Legion, coupled with the battle religious views of the Vikings, the conquest of the Mongols & Huns, the bravado of the Knights & Samurai, you artistic styles of the Jaguar & Eagle Warriors, you get the Mandalorians,

This is the only Star Wars language that DOESN'T sound ridiculous for some reason.

Mandolorian and Mongol throat singing together is pure gold

I always considered that little woodwind trill at the beginning of The Mandalorian's theme song to be the real sound of old Mandalore. Ancient and spiritual. The rest of the theme is what the Mandalorians have become, the thumping bass representing the heavy, modern covert of what is left of Mandalore and the harsh, military structure they maintain in exile. And finally the strings and guitar representing Mando himself, Din Djarin the foundling who was raised by the tribe and walks the path of hunter, prey and protector.

- "The heart beats to the rhythm of the song you are listening to". My heart listening to this song *dies*

I played this song for my dog. He is now a Mythosaur. This is the way.

Imagine Vode An playing as Din Djarin becomes ruler of Mandalore, uniting all clans under the Darksaber.

A song WORTHY of the title of Mandalore

Mr. Kim creates the most wondrous scores you’ll ever hear. It’s like *magic* Listen here, boy! There’s no such *thing* as *magic* Dry up, Dursley, you great prune! No one speaks of the great and wondrous Mr. Samuel Kim in such a manner! Writing in requesting a new Harry Potter score. Return Address: ￣￣┗┓ 　 　 ┗┓　 　　 ┗┓ 　 　 Cupboard ┗┓ 　Under the ┗ Stairs

Slowly putting on my mandalorian armor from etsy has never felt more powerful.

I was gonna ask why that mandalorian had a jedi order logo on his cape, then I realized that's Tarre Vizsla.

The blend of the two songs is just so good.

I've legitimately listened to this on repeat 8 times in a row now today it's that good

An army of impenetrable warriors, all looking the same person, all wearing the face of Mandalore, comes towards your army singing this. You, a storm trooper: 0-0

As a faithful devotee of Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order, I say that for too long, the Mandalorians have been purposely targeted and crippled by the Dark Side. Now that the Empire and the Sith are gone, the time has come for New Jedi and Mandalorians to fight side by side in honor and strength...if you will have us.

YES! MANDALORIAN MUSIC! THANK YOU!

Finally, Rage of the Shadow Warriors jas always been one of my favorites!!!

Wow, I’m actually astounded, I knew Samuel could remake songs amazingly, but this guy’s creativity is amazing!

Super epic mashup! I hadn't heard either of these songs until today, so this prompted me to find both of them individually. Amazing! To be honest, even not understanding the lyrics, Vode An actually drove me to tears. Solemn and heroic, it makes me think of troops knowingly marching into death. It's a little less solemn when you know the meaning of the lyrics, but it's still haunting.

Why does this kinda sound like something the sun warriors from Avatar the last air bender would play to summon Ran and Shaw

Yay more epic star wars themess

Man, there's no stopping you! Feels so different, yet still fits in this musical universe. Keep it up!

Wow this rendition is one of your best yet, absolutely f*caking amazing, well done!!!

Let me just melt my shoulder for this epic pose.

With the context of S2 the drawing is even better.

YESSSS! Please put this on Spotify!

@Samuel Kim Music... So amazing as always !!! Great music!

1:40 *feels chill down spine, grabs jar of hot-sauce, starts drawing Mandolorian symbol on forehead* "Kandosii sa ka'rota, VOOOOODE AAAAAN!

I absolutely love all of your stuff! When you create things for fandoms that I'm not a member of your music is enough for me to go and look more into what I'm missing.

This is actually perfect combat music for the current arc in a D&D campaign I DM. Thanks Sam!

I just realized he is resting the dark saber on his shoulder, then i realized because of beskar thats actualy possible. Just a small observation

Day 36 of asking for a Sauron theme

I LOVE YOUR EPIC VERSION!!! THIS IS THE WAY

Very good ! I was just looking for this Mandalorian song, and it turns out that your version is the one I prefer!

YESSS I Love Rage Of The Shadow Warriors

It’s cool that Gus Fring was willing to lend Javier Peña his sword for this pic! Glad they’re getting along!!

The vocals in this one are seriously next level

Every single thing you touch brings me to tears

Why did it end?! *proceeds to listen to it 20+ times a day to make up the difference*

If people can have Jedi as an officially recognised Religion, then why not Mandalorian?

Some work to understand art, Mr. Kim has already perfected it.

Oh my god that’s EPIC! Both music and art. Thank you and OYA MANDO

The expanse epic theme. We need this. We must not surrender, we must not falter.

I wanna see some Mandos dance to this in the show, it just gives me those Haka kinda vibes

Been hoping for this one for a while! Thank you! Hope this one comes to spotify at some point. I enjoy having your music play in the background of Battlefront 2 multiplayer matches and I've been wanting to play as a Republic commando with this song playing for a while

One of the best for sure

This Sounds Like a really good Haka

Glory!

You always seem to outdo yourself, I must say that I have appreciated and admired your work for some time now, and I always look forward to the next piece. Keep the magic going.

This is beyond awesome

Mandolarians we will shed blood today

POV: you're an imperial trooper after your legion commander order you to glass a "refuge camp" and your sitting in the barracks at night and hear this in the distance

Oh yeah thus is fresh this is exactly what I love to see

This music is the perfect expression of the mandalorians' way of thinking 👌

The perfect song doesn't exi..

Liked before it started, because im anyways gonna end up liking it. Edit: I was right

Seriously how does he get better every time he does this!

I literally cannot hit the like button hard enough! This was awesome to listen to! Thanks Sam!

God damn do all these songs need to be in mando season 3 🤯👌

Official request for Mandolorian War Song x Sugaan Essena (Jedi: Fallen Order) The Mando/Mongol Mashup seems excellent

Vocals were amazing!

This is great! I love the more ancient sounding stuff.

Everyone is talking about the Mandalorians, but the song were actually written for the lovely grand army of the f#ckn republic from Jango
