The Garuda bird is of Hindu origin and the lion with blue mane(Snow Leopards) are Buddhist imagery. Of course, these religions have a huge effect on Mongolian folklore and culture.

hahaha damn

. “The Wolf Totem” is actually from a 12th century Mongolian poem that the HU shortened and put to music. The “XXL Violin” (as you called it) is the Morin Khuur (Horse Head Fiddle), it has 2 “strings” that (traditionally) are made from the tail hairs from a horse (traditionally the hairs must come from the player’s own horse to bind player to instrument and vice versa), the “Male” string has 150 hairs and the “Female” string has 130 hairs. The “guitar” is actually a Tovshuur (Mongolian Lute) and only has 3 strings.

Though less popular, I like their song, The Great Chinggis Khan. And their version of the Metalicca song, Sad But True. I've seen them live and met them briefly. Great concert, talented musicians, and nice guys.

I love The Hu. I dove down this rabbit hole a while ago. Their music straddles the modern world and the ancient Mongolian shamanic. And their traditional instruments are works of art. Lately they've been collaborating with other artists with breathtaking results. Have a listen to Song of Women. Lizzy Hale is pure magic in that song. ❤

It's strange to me that they can be so fierce and still soothe me when I hear them. My favorite band for 30 years was Pearl Jam but these guys kicked them out of that spot! They have a couple of gorgeous songs with female guest singers, Mother Nature and Song of Woman or, if you like, they've done a couple of Metallica covers.

Song of Woman (with Lizzy Hale) is well worth a listen, Lizzy learned throat singing so she felt at one with the song, and the band, who are simply great guys who love music. Big Love Brother

Great bad and song. Love it, part of it. They sound the closest to my peoples original language I’ve heard in a long time. And we do/did throat signing also, but we also came from the same general region way back when…and were just as war like.

It's great that you made a reaction video of them. They are a great band, combining modern and traditional. I saw them this summer at a metal festival and they were quite an interesting experience. Exactly that use of traditional and modern instruments together. I would think that bands like The Hu or Heilung have gotten a boost in their careers by performing specifically at metal music events. In general, you could say that my metal brothers and sisters in the world are more tolerant and open to listening to different things, although we all probably have our own favorite genre.

I would suggest to watch the “Hu we are” videos. They are so down to earth and I would like to spend a few days with each of the

Yey! The Hu! From what I have read on other posts, the motorcycle's and bikers represent (old vs new) Iron horses and the fierceness of Mongolian hoards.

You looked TRULY shocked. Are you really surprised that one of, if not, 'THE' oldest cultures on the PLANET ACTUALLY have figured how to rock out in a modern way? And you were SURPRISED about the motorcycles? We Americans (generalizing of course) have such a narrow- and closed-minded view of the world at large. Things have opened wide in the past 15-20 yrs (thanks to the internet expansion) and its about effing time we get some real perspective of the cultures that make up this world of ours. GREAT choice for a reaction.

This is not your fathers Who lol I enjoyed that quite a lot! So much so, I stopped the vid and grabbed by best headphones and restarted the song. I had no idea what to expect, but that was superb.

Human music with rocks in it.
