Batzorig’s non-throat singing voice is actually so beautiful

This song is about Manchu's (Qin dynasty) massacre in Oirad (west Mongolian tribe, Oi-Ard means Forest Folks) territory. Very sad, memorial song indeed, and had been forbidden to sing long time. Still some olds gets angry when someone sing this song. Meantime, Oirad was very big force of Mongolia, was fighting against Manchu (current China). Because of internal misunderstood, Mongolia divided into 2 forces (Oirad and Khalkha) and fought each others. In the end, Oirad's main force Dzungar, decided defend Khalkha land, said their very last famous word "Халх үгүй бол Монгол үгүй", means "If Khalkha is no more, then Mongolia is no more". Then they shifted all their forces to Khalkha land and did their last defense, and overwhelmed by Manchu in the end. Historians say almost all of their population (~80%) was lost, when you travel hundreds of km land in Oirad, you only see barrens, not even living one. Lyric goes like some Oirad man return back to his land after massacre, then wonders where everyone are gone. You can say, thanks to Oirad force sacrifice, Khalkha Mongol still exists. Just imagine you are just normal soldier from Oirad force, then your generals decide move to Khalkha land to defend them (who was your enemy meantime), then you leave your home land, your parents, your wife, your kids to obvious death without protector, to march into your death in Khalkha land. Just immersive unimaginable sad and brave decision for bigger picture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oirats Also this folk song, originated from Tuvan, have been around like some hundreds years, so in every Mongolian tribe, it have some different names, modified lyric etc. Khalkha Mongol (current biggest, and main one) name is Sixty white horses, also Khongor ur min (My dear son). In west Mongolia Tuva (current Oirad land) they know it by name Kongurei (translates to Khongor ur = Dear son). Many artists already sung this song. Personally I love Bukhu Ganburged's version here kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yq2lzMlxedGbaMo.html *Lyric in cyrillic Mongolian:* Жаран цагаан адууны минь Алаг нь хаана байна ах нар минь Зургаан хошуу нутгийн минь Цэрэг нь хаана байна эгч нар минь Арван цагаан адууны минь Алаг нь хаана байна ах нар минь Арван хошуу нутгийн минь Ард нь хаана байна эгч нар минь Далан цагаан адууны минь Ардаг нь хаана байна ах нар минь Долоон хошуу нутгийн минь Цэрэг нь хаана байна эгч нар минь *Lyric in Latin letters:* Žaran cagaan aduuny minʹ Alag nʹ haana bajna ah nar minʹ Zurgaan hošuu nutgijn minʹ Cèrèg nʹ haana bajna ègč nar minʹ Arvan cagaan aduuny minʹ Alag nʹ haana bajna ah nar minʹ Arvan hošuu nutgijn minʹ Ard nʹ haana bajna ègč nar minʹ Dalan cagaan aduuny minʹ Ardag nʹ haana bajna ah nar minʹ Doloon hošuu nutgijn minʹ Cèrèg nʹ haana bajna ègč nar minʹ *Translation:* Among my sixty white horses Where is the checked one, my brothers? Among my six counties of my homeland Where are the soldiers, my sisters? Among my ten white horses Where is the checked one, my brothers? Among my ten counties of my homeland Where are the folks, my sisters? Among my seventy white horses Where is the wild ones, my brothers? Seven counties of my homeland Where are the soldiers, my sisters? Fun trivia: At the end of video around 4:41, someone said "what was that sound", then other man replied "whats happening boys?", then female (Amarbayasgalan. Ch) replies "it was my ...", video ends without telling her what was it :D

@Utsuhoagie Because It is sad a song. It is about Dzungar Genocide. Manchu killed 600.000 Dzungar Mongols. The lyrics didn't say a word Genocide or in this matter, but it is singing about empty land, horses without owners, and saying where is the people, where the people. 😞

I have been waiting so long for him to sing "Konguroi" or "Jaran Zagaan Aduu", however you may call it. Its beautiful either way!!!

I can close my eyes and feel the wilderness of Mongolia 🇲🇳

Heard this song a year or two performed by some other throat singers. Only song on my phone with Cyrillic characters. Loved hearing Batzorig's version here.

All of this music and learning about Mongolian history and culture on the internet has definitely pushed me to go there one day.

Can I just say, Khusugtun's latest album is shockingly good - like, better than I thought it was going to be - and I thought it was going to be awesome to begin with.

Jangar is the perfect album for an hour long drive.

How come the throat singing is so epic, and the regular singing voice is so sweet. There's a world standing between the two.

That was so beautiful. I love the Horsehead fiddle. I was just watching Batzorig's incredible performance in Maro Polo, again. ❤🧡💛Batzorig Vaanchig 🎶 🎵

Beautiful, thank you for bringing a part of this amazing culture to many of us who wouldn't have been exposed to it without you

I'm American, but I adore music from all around the Globe and often explore many varieties here on KZread. Classical and folk music being my favorites. I was lucky enough to stumble across this (thank the Algorithm Gods) and I have cherished it since. I've never heard anything else quite like it, alluring, almost as if a Siren sings it, yet haunting, but somehow it is full of hope and love as well. Calls home, to say the least. ❣️💫

Wow I love that lady's voice amazing

🥰 ah yes lovely I get off a 10hr shift to beautiful Mongolian music. I will sleep well tonight.

I do not know the culture,the language, or any of it, but I love the beautiful sound and the skill of the musicians and singers. I am an old, white American from the Midwest and the only thing that can sing like the man next to Batzorig are Elk and we call them "bugling" when they get that overtone to their call for females. Just an incredible add to the overall sound of things. I stumbled on "throat singing" many years ago and it fascinates me. I wish I could know the language so I could know the meaning but I am just thankful to hear the beauty and simplicity of these instruments and the musicians and singers. Thank you for all that you do. I am in wonder of the power that can be made with an instrument that only has two strings. Just makes me thankful to be alive to hear this.
