This is how it should be, people sharing each other's cultures and appreciating one another, not each side isolating itself and shouting "cultural appropriation".
There is a huge difference betwee nsharing cultures and cultural appropriation. If you immerse yourself in someone else's culture, and respect the meaning of things, that's positive. Not giving a fuck about what means what just using stuff for commercial value "Cuz it's cool" is cultural appropriation. That's what people have issues with. Like the "Indian Halloween costum". The feather head-dress has a meanin,g and so do it's decorations.
Well cultural pluralism and the melting pot is what caused this feeling of unease with culture being mass consumed in the first place. Isolation to a degree but no hate or intolerance towards others
please tell me I'm not the only one who thought that it said, "mesmerizing Vocals" instead of locals and was kept in suspense for the entire four minutes nineteen second video, but still enjoyed the piece anyways. :D
Those r actual Mongolian songs hes playing w his own twist very impressive that fist part is a song about a horse and that slow part usually can have someone singing that same melody , its very beautiful, known as the mongolian long song
At 0:43 you can see the precise moment when his music put the Mongol dude into a trance, transporting him back to when his ancestors roamed the steppes and hunted with eagles.
Daniel oneNut Oh Jesus stop trying to act all smart you know what I meant and if not then that only explains how incompetent you are.Stop being butthurt, it's comedy
I just learned of this instrument, and I stumbled on this video and just WOW.... and here is the guy who played it! Amazing job! are you at times wrapping your fingers around the other string without touching it? that's incredible dexterity!
Français et vit en Mongolie ? Je suis musicien et rêve de ça ! Je veux un Morin Khuur et d'autres instruments traditionnels Mongols, je veux vivre en Mongolie. Je m'abonne à ta chaîne !
I’m Mongolian but I’m not a professional musician! Looks like he’s playing like Mongolian professionals ! I like it when someone start understand real our differences thank you for doing this for us !
Mongolian music is ridiculously deep. The more I listen to it, the more impressive and rich I find it. It's this whole other spiritual world it awakens in me.
He's playing it like a violoncelle and sometimes it even sounds Irish. Loved it, i can feel the european influence behind this performance, amazing with this Asian instrument.
@@Thecircustapes Think he means by the Uilleann-esque sound it makes. Even then, being Irish myself its too unique; I don't think a single instrument can express the variety of sounds that it makes.
So fun fact, the reason why the modern morin khuur sounds so much like a cello is because of necessity. Originally, the top was a tightly stretched skin, like a banjo. The tension is pretty consistent in an environment like mongolia, but can change when you travel abroad with it, so a european violin maker was hired to redesign the instrument, resulting in what we have now
yes you guys did, they have inspired you so much that they all decided to move to france, now there is no real white france instead it looks like African country with Eiffel tower
"mesmerizing locals" well maybe cause they can appreciate the music ? No one is born a master of any form of art, it comes through work and training... They can appreciate that a foreigner is practicing their art in a good way, maybe if it's not perfect, by good i mean "positive". When you approach a traditional form of art, you can do it the schoolish way, learn learn learn and have no sensitivity or not even like what you do. But this guy is there, in their company, having a pleasing time without any pretention. What is there not to like here ?
Well, I'll not complain that a Frenchman brought the occasion, but I am grateful to learn of Mongolian music. It is marvelous, simply marvelous. I am glad the world is finally being introduced to it. .
Wonderful! Would love to rock this up a bit with some funky bass and maybe a d'jembe, as a long-time hand drum player this sort of thing is a feast and a treat. Cool!
When he started tuning that instrument, that was when I knew.... "So _that's_ the instrument that haunts my dreams from the soundtrack of Witcher 3, the Crones of Crookback Bog." If you've played the game, you know.
Just so everyone gets it: at 0:31 it says: Stiv Morel Frants Ulsin Irgen Steve Morel French International Citizen (dont know what they were trying to say, just word by word translation) its a mongolian tv show
Dee Jarvis WTF you never played this instrument its really interesting fun not scary beautiful I played this for few years all my nails are gone those modern violin cello and bass is so same thing as this morin khuur
I love how slow paced Mongolian TV is. Everyone is just chilling
That's honestly super refreshing. I don't watch tv or listen to the radio anymore.
Absolutely spellbinding as to how many Morin khuur compositions end on the “neighing” note. Truly an unbelievable sound
It's beautiful. And even cooler when you realize that the instrument is essentially called a "horse harp"
The legends says that the instrument was made from a horse, so the neighing might be to honor the horse

yeah, say that to muslims
Love the way the hosts are absorbing the music with a tangible reverence

Same here man. At about three minutes in I was all like "click bait". Then I reread the title and felt dumb.
for some odd reason, I see an empty comment with no name and no content... it s]doesn't even say if it's because it was deleted or not.... o.O
LMAO same! (>_
Me too.
HA! Would never have figured it out if it wasn't for your comment :D
its a European playing a Mongolian instrument on some greek news but the news abreveation is in english while there's some Cyrillic in the top corner
It is all cyrillic. It is mongolian teli.
Xie Long Uh thats not Greek lol
oh not real good at languages other than English and Chinese
Xie Long sorry if i came as harsh Cyrillic can be identified by the latin looking letters whilst Greek letters look different ex: Cyrillic-e Greek-ε.
Jeff S no I don't mind, learned something new

@Mok Five: The beginning sounds like “Jonon Qara’s Run”
This guy is clearly using the force.
favorite reply!!OoO

Fun fact, they still hunt with eagles

Shame there is no throat singing
my exact same thought.
GabberFan you cannot see it, but he was chewing a chewing-gum, and that is the reason why
Maybe he just can't do it Fedor? xD
He plays the throat singing melody on the instrument instead
Why shame? He did a great job with only two strings!
final note is metal as fuck
omg hahahaha i was waiting for it after reading your comment and then he hit it!! hahahahaha that squeal was so metal
Well, he made it sound like a horse.... And horses are sacred for Mongols and Turkic people so it was a nice move from this guy, I guess.
Tal Sheynkman It is weird that everything "is like" and compared metal these days.
tchaikowski, beethoven an chopin were all metalheads.
WOW!!!
This whole song I got such an image of hunting down and taming a wild horse in Mongolia. Truly amazing.
My mongolian blood started to fight my Ukrainian blood to this song
+Stan Glazunov if only you had mongol blood lol.
Cyvan
Tbh everybody east of the Alps probably has Mongolian blood in them.
All orchestrated by the french of course. As is everything
All Slavs do, in varying amounts
@@bannerman9062 false mongols in mongolia dont have turk blood.
TFW you find Qui-Gon Jinn playing whatever that thing is...
Mátyás Varga morin khuur - it's string is actually horse tail
Its a horse head fiddle

Who else read "mesmerizing vocals" and were wondering when he was going to start singing the whole time?
Me, fuck.
LOL
🙋♂️ yup me too....but wow this was great.
I’m Mongolian but I’m not a professional musician! Looks like he’s playing like Mongolian professionals ! I like it when someone start understand real our differences thank you for doing this for us !
It says a lot about a culture if it can produce music of this level. It's amazing how clearly the song speaks to you and tells you it's story.
Mongolian music is ridiculously deep. The more I listen to it, the more impressive and rich I find it.
It's this whole other spiritual world it awakens in me.
0:44 he think about the chinese village he gonna burn
Yes, Turkey is in China.
god dammit 😂😂
Ahhaha
Lmao- i thought we stopped our rivality against China.
Skylar Shines we are are all communist there won't be a problem comrade!
He's playing it like a violoncelle and sometimes it even sounds Irish. Loved it, i can feel the european influence behind this performance, amazing with this Asian instrument.
Well a lot of people say the Morin Khuur sounds like the violin so…
It sounds exactly like the original tune did. Don't how you feel the European influence in it.
It's a traditional Mongolian song so idk where that "irish influence" came from.

Multi-culti at its best. Thank you Mongolia. Thank you France. Thank you music around the world.
And thank you scottland for your thank you, damn, we sound like Candians now :D.

French Marco Polo?
He was a Mongolian in his previous life
Yes! He did it, hah. The horse whinny at the end. That's pretty phenomenal.
I can't be the only one that jiggled the mouse at the start thinking it got froze on the playback line.

@@Neverdyingpride dont forget the tziganes
In the interview he said that he had a proper lesson from the Morin huur masters in Mongolia. That is why it sounds so proper

Finland is also part of turan
0:43 chumlee from pawn stars
Chum Lee
It's pronounced ChumRee.

Mongolian Version xD
Is that Steve Morel?
"mesmerizing locals" well maybe cause they can appreciate the music ? No one is born a master of any form of art, it comes through work and training... They can appreciate that a foreigner is practicing their art in a good way, maybe if it's not perfect, by good i mean "positive".
When you approach a traditional form of art, you can do it the schoolish way, learn learn learn and have no sensitivity or not even like what you do. But this guy is there, in their company, having a pleasing time without any pretention.
What is there not to like here ?
Correction. Frenchman *SHREDS* on Mongolian Morin Khuur, mesmerizing locals
It has a mixture of oriental and slightly irish vibe to it, love it^^
Well, I'll not complain that a Frenchman brought the occasion, but I am grateful to learn of Mongolian music. It is marvelous, simply marvelous. I am glad the world is finally being introduced to it. .
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Juan Pablo Montoya is in the studio?
Frektel Felms your videos suck ass you lazy fuck the only things worth watching is a handful of ytpers
Yes
Fuck him, I don't see him rocking out with a Morin Khuur
Yes.
who?
Wonderful! Would love to rock this up a bit with some funky bass and maybe a d'jembe, as a long-time hand drum player this sort of thing is a feast and a treat.
Cool!
No matter how good the Asians are going to be at playing their instrument, there's always going to be a Frenchman who can play it better
The Legend really? Are you the expert?
Uh no
Not sure this is accurate but thanks for the pride boost, we really need it these days.
That's incredible!! Hats off, motherf....s!! Respect to a French man!
1 sec shy of 4.20. coincidence? I beg to differ
Those locals sure look mesmerized!
Where can I get a shirt like the guy in the hat?
For real; that is a sick shirt :O
probably from Mongolia :)
Rocket Number 9 it sales in Mongolia 🇲🇳
Absolutely! He is truly exceptional, serving as a great ambassador for Mongolian culture

What is that instrument???? I NEED to learn how to play it.
SuperDogLog, its mongolian instrument that called "morin khuur"
Also called a horse head fiddle.
I would love to see a video of traditionally dressed Mongolians playing Bluegrass on these instruments.
"Genghis Khan meets the Soggy Bottom Boys."
But does it Djent?
Joe Werner I doubt it
Check out The Hu ;)
When he started tuning that instrument, that was when I knew....
"So _that's_ the instrument that haunts my dreams from the soundtrack of Witcher 3, the Crones of Crookback Bog."
If you've played the game, you know.
YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT
Excellent, but everyone was waiting for him to fucking finish!
The locals weren't the only ones mesmerized. Really fantastic!
BRAVO!!!!
absolute pleasure to see , uneheer goe saihan, hovor hicheengui zutgeliin gaihamshig!
Am I the only one who waited for the instrument to break?
Go Lem yes
So beautiful. Thank you for this!
dude, this isn't destroying, that's the natural noise it makes when you play it.
Vtmgll It says 'destroys' meaning that he is good at it.
MrBlueD3V1L
why?
He meant it in a good way, like slang. Sort of like how "You're sick!" can mean good or bad things depending on the context and the intent.
I believe Vtmgll is not familiar with the colloquial aspects of the english language.
Just so everyone gets it:
at 0:31 it says:
Stiv Morel
Frants Ulsin Irgen
Steve Morel
French International Citizen (dont know what they were trying to say, just word by word translation)
its a mongolian tv show
It just says French citizen not French International citizen
International = olon ulsiin
liam neeson is that you?
That's the most excited a Mongolian will ever be in a concert. That's how good the music is.
What a ghastly instrument. About as pleasing to the ear as bagpipes.
I agree with your point on bagpipes.
Dee Jarvis WTF you never played this instrument its really interesting fun not scary beautiful I played this for few years all my nails are gone those modern violin cello and bass is so same thing as this morin khuur
Both of those instruments are very relaxing to me
The manner, in which the Morin khuur conveys the sound of horses and camels, is eargasmic, to say the least
Oh man, this is so gorgeous... I been here few times, he keeps me coming back.
For those not knowing, this is Mr. Steve Morel.
I was expecting him to break the instrument!😂😂😂 the title is misleading😂
holy horse! steve has done a great job. respect
Hes french but holding the bow german style. On a mongolian instrument. How cosmopolitan.
4:10 you actually see her eyes for a second she was so impressed lol
Just skipped ahead through the whole video looking for vocals. Then I reread the title.
Frenchman a skilled rendition with energy but not soul
Meaning you are fantastic but I like the traditional way. I Should go away now
He should try play metallica on it!!!!!
I thought at first that he would literally destroy the instrument, but the contents of the video quenched my rage.
it looks like he has the softest pinkest hands ever in existence.
So where can i get a recording of this guy? He is a gift from the eternal Blue Sky!
I think this could be integrated into a bluegrass band really well!
Yeah i find very often that mongolian music sounds like american folk music
First off that is the craziest play I've ever seen! Second his arm looks like an inkjet printer hard at work!
Musical level: Asian mastery. (Achievement unlocked).
That guy is a monster! He trapped the souls of a thousand nomads and their horses in his sound-making demon box!
I think the souls were trapped by whoever built the instrument
This is the music of the country that conquered half of the world once😮
who is this man who brings tears to a heart of stone and asks understanding? my screen is too blurhhhhhhhfkjnklsdnf
Steve E. Morel :)
He deserves respect.
Came here for the vocals, stayed for the morin khuur
i was waiting for the throat singing anyway lol , good one mate!
dude should join a post-rock band
Merci beacoup ! respect from Mongolia
1:23 woman is like "wtf is he doin...oh,ok l-)"
Is the last part from the Erhu piece Hunan Ballad?
beautiful play from western perspective (y) Cheers
This was 🔥

lol, when a western metalhead meets a traditional eastern instrument
Apocalyptica should totally take this guy on tour!
Every time I search for this I type "Frenchman destroys mongolian" and chuckle.
Chum Lee sure looked like he enjoyed it.
