When did this OST play? Where did this OST come from? Was it from the 5.0 livestream? I usually like to know where and what part a certain OST comes from
@@RaffaCakey not just that! Enkanomiya too had bangers not composed by YPC (especially Dimeng Yuan with Undersea Encounters - definitely one of his first forays into lead composing for the game)
Mauvika earned my instant respect the moment she saw herself as equal to her people. Also I appreciated she didn't see us as threats, but as heroes in Natlan's time of need.
@@Lightningstrike1220 for real! There's this favorite quote of mine: "if you want to see what a man is like, take a look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." And i think this fits with Maviuka so well.
@@ShanMichaelEscasio Mauvika is something else.. she even sacrificed all those objects, all those precious memories she collected over her course as archon of the many different people she met, their stories, their tales, and their deeds; just to bring back a few she called heroes from the jaws of the Night Realm (spirit world), one being a traveler nobody she knew very little of. Mauvika is an archon that is on a mission, she spared no time putting together a rescue team to grab Kachina when she found out the night realm was refusing to give up her spirit and the Wayob were not responding.when the ode to resurrection failed. I was taken aback at how quickly she moved to act when the resurrection ritual failed, and that she did not argue nor get offended when Mualani flat out accused her of trickery in broad daylight, might as well be calling your God a cunning liar. She is so incredibly benevolent and down to earth, and well aware of her own people and their troubles. Also recognizing her inability to fully help her people due to her waning power. My God Hoyoverse could not cause me to truly respect her any more than they already have...
I don't speak a _word_ of Swahili (I'm from the UK), yet Natlan's anthem inspires an intense feeling of national pride and patriotism for a place that doesn't actually exist.
As a Zimbabwean who started playing Genshin in 2021, if you had told me that there would come a day when I would hear an instrument from my country being featured in my favourite Chinese game, I would've thought you were joking. 3 years later I hear a Mbira, a Marimba, an African talking drum and Swahili voices singing one of the most beautiful tunes I have ever heard. 2 continents of Fire, burning bright as one,Hoyoverse hasn't just given us Natlan, they've given us Home! ❤🔥
This...this is what "globalization" should be...the entire world came toghether for this performance...european orchestra, african singers, south american instruments, chinese composers and company...what a masterpiece!!
Too bad none of the main characters shown are black or even medium brown 🥲 they represent the lighter skinned people of the nations borrowed from, but not the brown people? It makes no sense 😭
In China, the way we understand culture is never about just the color of the skin. There are people from pale to dark skin color everywhere just in our own land. The way we think of the essence of a culture, it's about the inside: the way people think, the language spoken, the music, food, what is valued the most in a society, etc. As to the game, it's an anime styled game, characters look like that not because devs prefer white skin than dark, but because traditionally anime characters are just that kind of looking. You see, even characters in Liyue don't look like real life Chinese people (we dont have natural purple hair like Keqing), nonetheless, they represented the Chinese culture pretty well with their character design, with the region's music, food etc. I hope this could perhaps clarify it a bit. @@Vinadet
I was climbing a mountain, and I asked the guide how close we were to the top. He responded, "Natlan Live Symphony Performance." I smiled, I knew it was the PEAK.
I find it ironic how throughout Genshin's storyline, Natlan is the region with the least information we had from when we were in the previous regions, yet it is Natlan's OSTs that is the most informative as it incorporates vocals with lyrics that tell the stories of Natlan. Wonderful masterpieces!
@@emilyjackson2055 >oral storytelling< y'know, i hadn't thought about it that hard, but now that you mention it, it completely makes sense why there's so much singing in the natlan themes
The combination of classical instruments with Latin America and African instruments, added to the Swahili language and the lyrics, are great. We are all different, but music is the point where we can meet and unite. Genshin definitely does not disappoint with the music 🥹🥹
Imagine being a proud Natlan warrior who fought til the bitter end for your people,for your nation... In the after life you start hearing this song, and while it slowly progress... a flame appears in front of you ,and the pyro archon reaches her hand to you.
I was the Director for this film. It’s so lovely that everyone’s given it such a warm reception ❤ this is the most ambitious Genshin film that we’ve done at Stagecast. The flames were a LOT of fun! 🔥
@@philglenny94 None of your stage designs and video productions have missed-on target, all of them. Wonderful work! (Ever thought about heading the direction of the overseas concerts? Staging and lighting could make all the difference! I liked the ambiance of the stage for Yu-Peng Chen's concerts for example!)
I'm Chinese. Ever since we were in middle school, we were taught about history of Africa, the notorious human trafficking, those horrifying massacre and depreavtion of native culture. We sympathize with you because that's exactly what they did to us. Now that we Chinese made it through, we want to help those who are still being bullied and oppressed. Every culture is great , even the smallest voice deserves to be heard in a fair stage. We believe it's never just about color, it's about your legacy, language, food, music, your daily life and what you believe in and ect. We merely want to provide the stage and show respect to your civilization. It's time for you guys to tell your own story.
Let us give appreciation to Dimeng Yuan (as the composer of Natlan) and Yuxi Wang (as the composer of Anthem of the Savannah)! Thank you for these amazing music, literally GOOSEBUMPS
The couple playing the panpipes and flutes at 2:44 are family friends I’ve known for years. Recently their only son has passed away at the age 14 and I can’t imagine the pain they must be feeling. I’m sure he would’ve been immensely proud that they could spread Peruvian culture through such a famous platform. I wish my condolences and nothing but the best for this family and although it’s been years since I’ve seen them, I hope their son can rest peacefully ❤🇵🇪
OMG I’m sorry for their loss. They seem like they put a lot of soul into performing these pieces maybe they’re thinking of their son when they’re playing
RIP I'm so sorry for this😢 But I can proudly to tell you that many audiences from Bilibili (the platform where MHY officially release this video in China) did realised the couple and they really appreciate their performance! They were doing so great!!!😭❤️❤️ Thank you so much! I hope all is well with your friends, and keep spreading this beautiful culture to the world❤
I could only imagine what they were thinking listening to the lyrics of this song. I’m sure their son would be proud of his parents and I’m sure they loved him too. Each of these words would have hit differently and would have been played for him. Especially the part “come back we’ve been waiting” I hate the cliche moments of leaving home never saying I love you and never coming back.
You know what I can’t help to think? This made me feel that those who are playing in this orchestration, are real life citizens of Natlan singing their national anthem. This is just incredible.
Because this is prepared with passion, dedication, and absolute highest level of skills. It is filled with emotions and authenticity and is not artificial, not plain, not repetitive.
I love it when you can recognise “Photons of Fluctuations” in every battle theme. It’s such an Iconic motif that reminds you that these amazing experiences, battles are from the beautiful wild world of Teyvat. My respects to the Hoyo-Mix team.
At 5:25 (and onwards) for those wondering! You might recognise it as the “Mondstat theme” because a lot of Monstat’s music, battle themes especially, feature it prominently
I got chills hearing that. It's amazing in every new rendition. Here's the other songs where everyone can find the battle theme motif: Liyue - Gallant Challenge Inazuma - Overlord of the Thunderstorm, Fiery Pursuit Sumeru - Swirls of Shamshir/Swirls of the Stream Does anyone know if Fontaine contains the motif? I can't find it!
@@silentspeedy Fontaine: Rondeu des fleurs et des rapieres Lamentation et triomphe You can find this leitmotif in many other battle tracks. Someone has even made a compilation of it.
If you haven't already, you should listen to K'Sante's Theme from League of Legends too. As a pasty white guy, I also somehow felt both of these pieces calling for my soul lol. The absolute raw power of traditional African vocals and the African percussion/woodwinds in both of these pieces contain this undeniable force that just grabs you and pulls you in. I think it's an absolute shame this style of music is so rare in the western world. We're missing out big time.
@xMewShick Language is Swahili from East-Africa (around Tanzania), but the pan-pipes used in the music are from south-America. Natlan isn't a one to one representation from a place real life, it's multiple elements and influences from different cultures.
As an African I am absolutely amazed how it connects me with our way of seeing life and things like that make me stronger when I say that no matter how much we've been threatened I'll never regret being born African
@@jeykrim6767Nah. I can't tell you how much I love Red Army aesthetics. The Fatui Harbingers are blinged up just like them too. So when the OST finally gets to them, we are sailing with Red Army marches and Tchaikovsky all the way.
I finally understand why they used Swahili. Swahili is like the national language that unites the whole country . Same goes to here , where we may come from different tribes , but it’s the national language that unites us all .
I like how 6:30 is a reference to the pyro gem's description. "A pilgrimage for a wish; a battle to earn a name... Burnt to cinders for a dream. If the intention yet remains, achieved [---]'s truth he has."
Snezhnaya is gonna be crazy. Russian romantic-era classical music are some of the best romantic pieces ever composed. The Tsaritsa being the archon of love, I can't wait to see how they cook that
As an African native, I was so emotional and had goosebumps everywhere 🥹 This performance was so spectacular! I felt SO Nostalgic! Indigenous American and African instruments? And Swahili??? I’m crying 🥹
I'm African and Caribbean and I practically had to keep it together while I watched this on the bus ride to work from the metro station. I think other commuters thought I was getting sick 😅. I was so emotional. If these two tracks are like this...what about the other tracks?! I can't wait! 😭
so sorry to disappoint you, but have you ever heard the sentence "im not racist, but..."? well, this concert is the "we're not racist" part, then the fact that every Natlan character is paper white Is the big BUT part
@@simonironson8518you are THE definition of the quote. Why should you care what devs put in their game and what they didn't. What done is done ost is amazing region design is expected to be great and the whole other things shouldn't be carried about. And to ruin the drama the continents that are "represented" in bold quotes are Latin America AND Africa so the skin colour isn't the thing you should ask for but the content of the region (I am from Russia myself so it is my own opinion)
@@simonironson8518blud, it's called inspiration for a reason, not representation or being racist. Best example is this music, they didn't represent African music because that's BS when a lot of the instruments are not traditional that's why it's inspired; reinterpretation of culture through the creative mix in a fictional world
yep every genshin post has some bots defending them, but still I haven't seen any african people representation in any playable character so far, so go make fun of someone else lol
We "Unite" as one Baptized by the "Turnfire" Bearing an Ancient "Blessing" Knowing true "Power" and accepting a fate of "Devotion" We embrace the "Transcedent" flames For Natlan!!! In the name of the Pyro Archon Haborym, I declare, the night wars underway! The Ode of Ressurection will guard all lives until the war is over!
THIS is why this game is my favorite. You cant listen to those bangers which we get with every region and say that genshin doesn`t properly show cultures. Genshin may not be THE best, but for me it is. It shows a lot of cultures in a interesting way and makes learning about them much more fun for those, who otherwise would not care at all. Music unites..
I can't agree more. sure, the game has a bit of a problem with skin color which is a bummer, but genshin, unlike any other "cultural representation" piece of media, actually made me research cultures included in this game and learn about the world. THAT'S what representation should be.
getting chills from that segment at 2:47, the vocals, the music, the lyrics, "For our family, homeland, and nation (For glory), For our ideals, dreams, and future (For hope)"....
As a Ethiopian these lyrics rlly hit me, reminding me of my country’s fight against colonization. And how our efforts and determination kept Ethiopia to be one of the few African countries never to be colonized. The lyrics make me feel sm pride and gratitude for my ppl, who bled to protect our home n how our history of independence/fight against oppression lives on. Thank you genshin im so hyped for natlannn!!🇪🇹💕
@@jujutsuingi think this is just wrong. I am also a Poc and while i absolutely love the music of Natlan I have to say il just really dissapointed with the character designs for Natlan and in genshin in general The lack of skin tone variety just makes a lot more designs boring. Im no saying that skin color is all that matters obviously but having played this game for years im just bored of having character starting to look all the same. I really like the fact that they went for a more modern style for Natlans cast since the more "tribal" look can often be misinformed. However i feel like the style makes a lot of the natlan cast just not as interesting. Especially Mavuika and Chaska
Back again after Act 5 absolute cinema,I geniunely love this game so much. I will forever appreciate it and of course,Hoyomix which is what enhances these experiences so much.Cant wait for Snezhnaya next
I am a Japanese traveler. Africa and Latin America are very far away for me, and I don't know if the day will ever come when I will visit them. It is very rare to hear music about these regions in Japan, so I am very happy to hear music that incorporates local culture in Genshin. It is really cool and beautiful. I spent the last few days walking around Natlan, observing the unfamiliar food on the table and looking up recipes to find out what dishes they were modeled after. It's really fun to be in the house and yet feel like I'm traveling the world.
I am Brazilian, hearing all these instruments from different countries come together to build music and songs that resonates with us is exactly what Brazil itself is: a place where everyone comes together to be one nation. Whoever came before you and whoever comes after you defines who we are as people. It is they and you that makes our country as diverse as it is today. And this? This makes me feel hope that one day we will curb all stereotypes and the racism that is aimed at us all from both foreigners and within our own countries. I will be waiting you in Natlan, my friends and neighbors from nearby and from across the sea.
US neighbor here!! Have fun exploring Natlan!! :D Can’t wait to just fight a lot of things just to hear this again. They always drop bangers and this just exceeded all expectations! ✨🤗✨
@@royalhightrader2255 Have fun exploring it too, neighbor! We're gonna be needing some thick shields this patch because otherwise the enemies will obliterate us before we can hear the music properly LOL. Love all their music, it's hard to even have a favorite when everything is so divine.
The south american musicians : 1:39 Kanti Qena - Carlos Saldaña (Perú- Piura ) 🇵🇪 Phasxi Coca - Jeanette Rojas (Bolivia) 🇧🇴 They are married and live in London They have also a project - LOKANDES Recently their son Raymi Willka Saldaña Rojas has passed away Kanti looks so sad and melancholic maybe he remember his son playing the quena, it makes me cry 😢😢😢
Natlan should be represented at the UN or win a Nobel peace prize. Natlan represents sub-saharian Africa, Oceania and the whole American continent into a one-beautiful mix with enough fantasy elements as to have its own personality. Beautiful music, Genshin Impact never disappoints.
I cried when I saw the Quena and Zampoña in this video... I literally felt proud about my country and culture... Thank u Genshin Impact!! I'll be always thankful to you
Its really interesting what they did, fusing the flutes with baroque at the very beginning (swahili baroque btw lmao thats really odd), but also the general constitution of an epic orchestra to add volume to the rest of the theme. Though I think sadly the first theme is like one of the few times where the ocarina, zampoña, and quena shine in context, for the other themes they get melted into the tribal theme natlan searches for which is a bit of a shame.
Right? Knowing the potential of such beautiful instruments as quena and zampoña I couldn't help it but think maybe the composers could have used them in a more epic way at some parts of the songs, but still I'm so happy to see they made such amazing songs including them! This is true art.
Yu Peng Chen was right about trust their legacy on the new composer talents. Dimeng Yuan and Yuxi Wang made a great job. And of course the great director Robert Ziegler.
Not gonna lie, the orchestral performance made me cry. Seeing all the different cultures performing was beautiful but also seeing two indigenous people performing just made me sob. I'm indigenous and seeing that alone just hurt and made me feel seen all at once because there is little to no representation of my people. Hoyo really outdid themselves on this one.
Your feelings are so ridiculously valid. It really creates an odd feeling to see such beautiful representation and know the problems exist simultaneously. It's definitely a testament to the hearts of the vocalists and musicians within the performance. ❤
It just feels so sad that all these people criticizing Hoyo in representation won't ever come close to what Hoyo has done for these people... Can't they see that hoyo is trying?
My friend who is congolese was actually bawling in the car with me when we were going to dinner yesterday. I started playing it and she was like "Oh cool Swahili", and as soon as the flutes at 1:44 started she started sobbing and it only went downhill from there. She doesn't even play or know anything about the game, I just told her there was some new music that is inspired by her native country. She said it made her miss her home which was wartorn when her whole family had to emigrate. Anyways I had to cry when she mentioned that. xD I think music like this is so powerful since it matches the theme of Natlan, which is War (oppression by colonizers), Death (the people's heroes martyring one by one to try and protect in the face of superior firepower), and Rebirth (their stories and spirit living on so the next generations can help revive the nations that were wiped out). It also had people from native cultures of Africa, South America, North America and other ring of fire nations, all countries that suffered immensely or had their culture, languages, people wiped out by foreign invaders performing together. This is a masterpiece for sure.
8:30 this part gives me an eargasm every time i hear it. all the voices and instruments coming together to fill up the melody is so powerful and amazing
I believe this is the first time that singing is part of the main theme. It goes to show how the voice is a primary instrument in the cultures where this music was derived from. Also, a certain imagery forms in my head - feels like singing around a bonfire.
@@chiaki7099i went to see just to reply, yes, while in fontaine we had a choir the choir was a part of the whole song. Natlan & Anthem are the first songs, nationwise and not boss fights related, to make the voice a central focus of the song.
im north african and i had my time with the sumeru ost, one of the greatest modern days musical pieces ever written, but i have to admit that natlan’s ost surpassed sumeru’s. While sumeru ost gave us a feeling of multiple cultures combined in one song, a song that you would hear playing on the streets anywhere, enjoying it without paying much attention to it because you’re used to it, Natlan’s ost gave us a feeling of unity, a feeling of “no matter our differences we’ll always be one”. Natlan’s ost makes you stand up in chills, the way you’d stand up for your national anthem. The performers knew how to portray such a feeling, that no matter where you are in the world, if you were tightly familiar with african, american-latin, or native culture at some point in your life, you would absorb this ost, the way you would absorb a call to stand up for your nation, for your people. my expectations were nothing but high, i dont know how hoyo-mix managed to go even higher this time.
Fr, these two tracks moved the African spirit in me, I've never felt this way before. Music uniting people all over the world through emotion, I felt awakened
@@the8flo1 RIGHT THAT'S WHAT I THINK TOO but of course in the heaven of the internet aka Twitter I saw someone saying the lyrics are too dramatic and cringe and people ACTUALLY AGREEING
Coming off the hype that was the Olympics, this anthem feels like how a proper sporting anthem should have been... It's so beautiful that I am still tearing up.
@@VishyVashy-w9q we already heard the snezshanaya theme, in the signora funeral and the last minute of The Song Burning in the Embers, its "cold", "wicked" and "tragedy"
1:40 Quena 1:56 Zampoña We are a band playing Andean music in Japan🇯🇵🇧🇴🇵🇪 We're very happy to see Andean instruments collaborating with various other instruments❤️
Wishing all the best for your band in the future! That's so cool to hear! 💞 I never thought there'd be bands performing these types of instruments outside of their own region
Four acts later, Natlan's main theme finally comes to fruition... We have lost 2000+ people, faced 2000+ monsters. Everything finally came together. The domain quest was top tier...especially with how the finale theme used 1:24 as its base... Ushujaa waangaza mbingu na ardhi Mara tena ashinda Natlan
Im pacific islander and omg😭 seeing African and native Americans(meso-american) in a Collab gave me literal chills 🥹this is literally so beautiful. Idk its probably the fact that us pacific islanders are tribal like y'all just makes me so idk overwhelmed seeing indigenous people together
It’s not Native American , it’s meso American from Latin America and it’s not ok how they’re just mushing our cultures together when they’re completely different
@@Add-b4c theres only 7 regions and 195+ countries and hundreds of cultures around the world. It's impossible to add every single culture and country and its amazing how Hoyo added SOMETHING for all the main cultures/countries even if its mushed together
@@Add-b4c in my opinion I feel like it is amazing how they are incorporating multiple cultures into a music piece. It’s impressive, and many cultures overlap on certain things, so finding what is and isn’t connected to compose a piece take a lot of work. PLUS, if you didn’t notice Sumeru is the biggest region(so far) because it takes inspiration from the most cultures/countries. The desert let’s middle eastern and northern African instruments and tunes shine. The rainforest lets south Asian instruments and tunes shine. And there are a bunch of soundtracks, so a city theme could be mainly this country, while a cafe theme could be another. Also if you look at the comments people from many different countries are happy because they recognized something from their culture whether it be the steel pan or the Swahili vocals.
If you wanna pull a “I ain’t readin all of that” than what I said is summarized in these points: - the more cultures, the bigger the region, each spot in the region has a group of similar culture - so many soundtracks in one region, cultures can shine in a certain soundtrack - people from various cultures are happy
The music shows that the war in this nation is not about the misery, death, and chaos of the battlefield, but rather the struggle, the glory, and the vivid, optimistic way of life. I literally got tears in my eyes when hearing this.
Mexico's hymn is something like that it talks about defending our nation, and all the motherland sons bringing glory with them after the battle and even the ones who perished will have it.
I cried for 9 minutes straight while listening to this. My love for music and playing instruments were founded on game/RPG music, and amid all the chaos in the world I'm glad I'm still alive for this.
The first song absolutely HAS to feature in the main quest, theres got to be an incredibly dramatic and heartfelt moment where this plays in all its glory!!
Agree!! I had a feeling that the first song will be use in the climax of the story soon...i mean, the music itself, and especially the lyrics, not only telling us about the information of the story, but also like some motivational words for Traveler and Natlan's tribes in facing the Abyss
I actually cried when i heard and read the lyrics. Never been so hyped because of music like this before.Can't wait to enter Natlan and experience the music firsthand in the game.
Many people, myself included, find themselves moved to tears repeatedly when listening to this piece. It goes beyond just giving me goosebumps; it makes me reflect deeply on the song's essence and why it resonates so strongly. Natlan represents a nation fighting for its destiny, with heroes who fall only to rise again. Their resilience and tragic struggles echo the centuries-long history of resistance against oppression, whether in Latin America, Africa, or Oceania. This song is an anthem for all those heroes who united and sacrificed themselves for their people and families. "For our homeland, we will shed our last drop of blood." Glory to Hoyomix for giving a voice to these often overlooked civilizations.
The importance of waiting for a hero in both lyrics, made me remember current Simulanka, because it's centered around waiting for a hero. And in that case, the hero is not the Traveler. The titular hero in Natlan story is probably also not Traveler, because as the Archons and Alice said, Traveler is a witness.
@@deathwingthedestroyer3632 True. The traveller is the one doing all the work and actually in the center of helping the nations. They should be considered a hero, not just a witness.
Shared this music to my African colleague and he bursted into tears. He said that he feels the call from blood and from ancestors, and he feels the respect to their culture. Thanks miHoYo.
@@lostforever773 You know nothing. MiHoYo hires black musicians and provides jobs to them, on the opposite side you do nothing but opening your big mouth and saying nonsense words.
The fact hoyo managed to put different cultures together in a single game and make it work is one of the things that make Genshin Impact truly one of a kind and amazing game. A fantasy earth.
@@DefinitelyNotAFerretPeople are allowed to complain. Hoyo is able to bring in people of multiple ethnicities and races for the musical aspect, but don’t represent said people in game in a region that takes heavy inspirations.
THIS IS WHAT MAKES GENSHIN BEAUTIFUL AND WORTH IT! They keep producing these kinds of art that unfortunately a few of the community realizes and is overshadowed by the gacha system. I really appreciate how the orchestra thus far has been a banger and brings the oomph and excitement for every region!
yes i love the culture being represented so good in the game! the skin representation is lacking... but the food, the music, the architecture?? ohmygod im ascending
I don't care about how generous other gatcha games can be, I'm willing to cut any rewards if they can produce something like this in exchange. This is what I'm searching for in my games. Quality music!
fortunately they finally listened to their fans, the next update had the biggest update genshin ever had, from the qol update, the droprate increase, bigger (in amount) rewards, and finally, a free 5star standard character! Genshin player eatin good at last
I don't know what will happen in the story, but the first OST lyric legit makes me chill. The "Do you fear death? No" and "Come back, we've been waiting". I hope the hero of every tribe in Natlan get to bring glory to their people!
The power of hydro flows through my eyes when I play the entire act 4 in 5.1, but then the power of pyro sets my heart ablaze so that I keep my head up till the last second of chaotic war. Truly a twist from those funny moments (citlali and ororon’s interaction) to a moment of broken heart (chuychu) and a moment of excitement (false sky reveal).
So true. The way Hoyo has merged all these different instruments and languages from all around the world reminds me that we humans are just one big family in the end. Love from Finland 🇫🇮❤
Orchestral music is the pinnacle of what it means to be human, I believe; it is personal talent and collaboration, creativity and discipline, tradition and innovation - all combined.
@@ririrolland5132 Same specie but different races, there's nothing wrong with that. We can celebrate our differences without fighting each others. As long as we can reproduce with each other, we can share a common future. This is how nature works and the only thing history will remember in the end.
@@LadyHermes We each have our differences, but those differences are based on our personalities and how we act. We shouldn't be judged by our bodies or our appearances. Modern society is trying to separate and diversify us in every way possible (race, gender, culture, sexuality, etc) and I think all that does is generate more hate and conflict. When I first see somebody, I view them as a human being. Not "black person" or "white person". Not "man" or "woman". Just human. And then as I'll judge them as I get to know more about them.
started tearing up hoyo music NEVER MISSES + the battle theme is a such an absolute banger. going to start a fight just to be killed listening to the music
I'm Indonesian, when first listening to this on the stream it got me fired up giving a lot of tension, but when turning captions on it struck me and got me teared up a little. Genshin's ost can make you teared up when you know the context when the music is used in the part of story, but this time Hoyo-Mix did a great job got me teared up a little while not even going to Natlan yet. And for the ethnic instruments performer and singer too let's pay them huge respect in preserving their culture and hope the culture they preserving got more attention from the young and further upcoming generation.
Genshin somehow keep getting ethnic musician for EACH of their musical performance Sumeru, Fontaine, Inazuma, Liyue, Mondstat and now Natlan! Its FANTASTIC. Not many corporations bother with this kind of thing
As fellow Indonesian coming from eastern region the songs gave me goosebumps and teary eyes. Even though Natlan is majorly inspired by both Native American and African culture the music giving huge resemblance to our Austronesian traditional music (especially Papua)
I was expecting some Nahuatl, Mayan or Quechua singers. but somehow I don't feel disappointed. As a latino (born and raised) I hear all the songs with teary eyes, that was wonderful
My reaction exactly. I’m a Caribbean Latino and hearing the steel pan in the battle theme brought tears to my eyes. But seeing how they’ve meshed Indigenous American, Pacific Islander, and African cultures together is truly a special experience
Ídem, as Peruvian i was surprised by the Swahili but deeply moved by it, and you can imagine my reaction when I saw the quena and zampoña 😭😭😭 just a few seconds earlier I jokingly told my brother that it was only missing a quena ❤
Cómo mexicano, pienso lo mismo. Me emocionó que mucha terminología de Natlan tenga de base el Náhuatl, y quería que también hubiera algo de eso en las canciones. Tenía las expectativas muy altas y aún así las superaron por goleada, y la orquesta no decepcionó en absoluto. A final de cuentas y gracias al mestizaje, hay un poco de los pueblos africanos en nosotros, gente de LATAM.
I am absolutely addicted to Anthem of the Savannah. Especially at 6:30 where the choir started singing, the whole build up in 6:50 leading to my favorite part at 7:02 omg I can't stress enough how much I love that whole section
Dimeng Yuan and Yuxi Wang absolutely GOATED for these compositions!! Gosh these performances sent a chill down my spine. It's so majestic and powerful!
3:04 I just love love love love when they are singing “Come back, we’ve been waiting”, it feels very emotional for me. Knowing why and who you are fighting for is great. I love Natlan.
You can say about Genshin what you will, but with every new region, the OST is literally the most magical experience. This is art.
You can hate Genshin but you can't hate its music.
now no one can say anything about genshin with the recent changes they announced 😂
When did this OST play? Where did this OST come from? Was it from the 5.0 livestream?
I usually like to know where and what part a certain OST comes from
@@alxr-pg3d675 yes, this video was part of the 5.0 livestream that aired earlier today. The rest of the Natlan OST isn't officially out yet.

Makes me think... if somehow the battle theme ends to be also a character theme of someone, how epic might it be?
We will hopefully see
@@lrc3847 the previous archon!
ikr
The first song reminds me of the epic Baba Yetu. These kinds of songs are epic af
-No one fights alone
- I am their Archon but I am not above my people.
Mauvika earned my instant respect the moment she saw herself as equal to her people. Also I appreciated she didn't see us as threats, but as heroes in Natlan's time of need.
Being an archon who ascended from humanity helps.
And Xbalanque, the first Pyro Archon? He's HIM.
Yes cuz the archon will inevitably die...by old age....might as well die to hilichurls and abyss mages
@@Lightningstrike1220 for real! There's this favorite quote of mine: "if you want to see what a man is like, take a look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." And i think this fits with Maviuka so well.
@@ShanMichaelEscasio Mauvika is something else.. she even sacrificed all those objects, all those precious memories she collected over her course as archon of the many different people she met, their stories, their tales, and their deeds; just to bring back a few she called heroes from the jaws of the Night Realm (spirit world), one being a traveler nobody she knew very little of.
Mauvika is an archon that is on a mission, she spared no time putting together a rescue team to grab Kachina when she found out the night realm was refusing to give up her spirit and the Wayob were not responding.when the ode to resurrection failed.
I was taken aback at how quickly she moved to act when the resurrection ritual failed, and that she did not argue nor get offended when Mualani flat out accused her of trickery in broad daylight, might as well be calling your God a cunning liar.
She is so incredibly benevolent and down to earth, and well aware of her own people and their troubles. Also recognizing her inability to fully help her people due to her waning power.
My God Hoyoverse could not cause me to truly respect her any more than they already have...
I don't speak a _word_ of Swahili (I'm from the UK), yet Natlan's anthem inspires an intense feeling of national pride and patriotism for a place that doesn't actually exist.
Really feel this way after AQ act 4
you shall feel it after Archon Quest 5.4. Fight for Natlan!
Same here. I'm a big coward, I run from any danger but in that moment during Act 4 I felt like I would gladly give my life for Natlan
Same thing with me with Attack on Titan
Because this is a war song they are designed like this. So that you feel patriotic. They use the same thing in the real world too.

As a Zimbabwean who started playing Genshin in 2021, if you had told me that there would come a day when I would hear an instrument from my country being featured in my favourite Chinese game, I would've thought you were joking. 3 years later I hear a Mbira, a Marimba, an African talking drum and Swahili voices singing one of the most beautiful tunes I have ever heard. 2 continents of Fire, burning bright as one,Hoyoverse hasn't just given us Natlan, they've given us Home! ❤🔥
yeees❤
That was so beautifully said ‼️
im happy for u man, the choir, the language, the instruments all make for good representation and even greater music
Based! want to visit your country just because of this!
As a guatemalan, im also very happy to hear and see the marimba since it plays quite the role in our culture and music ❤
This...this is what "globalization" should be...the entire world came toghether for this performance...european orchestra, african singers, south american instruments, chinese composers and company...what a masterpiece!!
Too bad none of the main characters shown are black or even medium brown 🥲 they represent the lighter skinned people of the nations borrowed from, but not the brown people? It makes no sense 😭
Sorry, by shown, i mean in the game 💀💀💀
In China, the way we understand culture is never about just the color of the skin. There are people from pale to dark skin color everywhere just in our own land. The way we think of the essence of a culture, it's about the inside: the way people think, the language spoken, the music, food, what is valued the most in a society, etc. As to the game, it's an anime styled game, characters look like that not because devs prefer white skin than dark, but because traditionally anime characters are just that kind of looking. You see, even characters in Liyue don't look like real life Chinese people (we dont have natural purple hair like Keqing), nonetheless, they represented the Chinese culture pretty well with their character design, with the region's music, food etc. I hope this could perhaps clarify it a bit. @@Vinadet

Funny... When I climbed that mountain and they told me I reached the Natlan Music, I realised I actually died and ascended to Celestia.

This comment probably saved my life
⛰😍
I find it ironic how throughout Genshin's storyline, Natlan is the region with the least information we had from when we were in the previous regions, yet it is Natlan's OSTs that is the most informative as it incorporates vocals with lyrics that tell the stories of Natlan. Wonderful masterpieces!
They need to live up to the hype of the most mysterious nation... And they went beyond
Well tbf other regions had stuff with lyrics too, but mainly bosses, not just in general yea
Makes sense, these cultures have long held the tradition of oral storytelling so I was hoping for something like this.
I think this is the first nation where we got a literal anthem for the main OST. Considering Natlan is in constant war with the abyss, it make sense.
@@emilyjackson2055 >oral storytelling<
y'know, i hadn't thought about it that hard, but now that you mention it, it completely makes sense why there's so much singing in the natlan themes
The combination of classical instruments with Latin America and African instruments, added to the Swahili language and the lyrics, are great. We are all different, but music is the point where we can meet and unite. Genshin definitely does not disappoint with the music 🥹🥹
Yes the language used is Swahili which is my mother tongue language so i was pleasantly surprised
And what's more in the battle theme, the trumpet follow-up after traditional instruments is just amazing.
@@luqmti6634thank you for tilling me what is the language name it’s my first time hearing it . 🙏🙏
@@norahsaeed5001 It's called Swahili from Eastern Africa mostly used in Tanzania and Kenya. I'm from Tanzania

Imagine being a proud Natlan warrior who fought til the bitter end for your people,for your nation...
In the after life you start hearing this song, and while it slowly progress... a flame appears in front of you ,and the pyro archon reaches her hand to you.
Kachina lived through that. Got torn to shreds against the Abyss, went through mental torture in the Night Kingdom, and then getting rescued.
Woah I love that
5.1 cooked with this interpretation! No one fights alone.
I was the Director for this film. It’s so lovely that everyone’s given it such a warm reception ❤ this is the most ambitious Genshin film that we’ve done at Stagecast. The flames were a LOT of fun! 🔥
Hoping you can take a video to tell the interesting behind the MV😂
Glad you had the flames there cause you guys absolutely cooked with this one! Perfectly captured the warmth, strength and pride from the songs!
Incredible filming and work with everyone!!! Never stop!!
@@philglenny94 None of your stage designs and video productions have missed-on target, all of them. Wonderful work! (Ever thought about heading the direction of the overseas concerts?

Please do a BTS if you can
I'm a Kenyan, listening to this almost had me tear up after hearing Swahili being used as the language, asante sana Genshin ❤
I'm half mexican and a violinist and this made me tear up just thinking about how these players put their soul into this, and it's so unique!!
I'm Chinese. Ever since we were in middle school, we were taught about history of Africa, the notorious human trafficking, those horrifying massacre and depreavtion of native culture. We sympathize with you because that's exactly what they did to us. Now that we Chinese made it through, we want to help those who are still being bullied and oppressed. Every culture is great , even the smallest voice deserves to be heard in a fair stage. We believe it's never just about color, it's about your legacy, language, food, music, your daily life and what you believe in and ect. We merely want to provide the stage and show respect to your civilization. It's time for you guys to tell your own story.
Its a shame they choose to exclude us from the game. Yet of course they have no problem using our voices and culture.

Dimeng Yuan's high profile work started by Enkanomiya with Undersea Encounters. It went so well, now we see his masterpieces ever since...
The couple playing the panpipes and flutes at 2:44 are family friends I’ve known for years. Recently their only son has passed away at the age 14 and I can’t imagine the pain they must be feeling. I’m sure he would’ve been immensely proud that they could spread Peruvian culture through such a famous platform. I wish my condolences and nothing but the best for this family and although it’s been years since I’ve seen them, I hope their son can rest peacefully ❤🇵🇪
OMG I’m sorry for their loss. They seem like they put a lot of soul into performing these pieces maybe they’re thinking of their son when they’re playing
Andean culture*
RIP I'm so sorry for this😢 But I can proudly to tell you that many audiences from Bilibili (the platform where MHY officially release this video in China) did realised the couple and they really appreciate their performance! They were doing so great!!!😭❤️❤️ Thank you so much! I hope all is well with your friends, and keep spreading this beautiful culture to the world❤
My most sincere condolences to them, not sure when they recorded this but I hope this warm reception makes their hearts a bit lighter
I could only imagine what they were thinking listening to the lyrics of this song. I’m sure their son would be proud of his parents and I’m sure they loved him too. Each of these words would have hit differently and would have been played for him.
Especially the part “come back we’ve been waiting”
I hate the cliche moments of leaving home never saying I love you and never coming back.
my expectations were high but oh boy this was beyond my expectation
Same here
SAME I LOVE IT
They always have way to exceed our expectation
Just the way me and many like to joke: Hoyo is a music company that dabbles in the gaming industry and somehow makes it big.
Same 😂
Fontaine is still my favorite, but Natlan is also beyond expectation
Genshin impact = video game ❌
Genshin impact = Musical journey ✅
You know what I can’t help to think? This made me feel that those who are playing in this orchestration, are real life citizens of Natlan singing their national anthem. This is just incredible.
The first song could pass as Natlan's national anthem. It goes so hard
Same!!!! I was crying just imagining all citizens of Natlan going to war and singing this to their ancestors and heroes 😭
Welcome to Natlan, to the identity of all Latin American anthems, our love to our homelands, heroes and ancestors
Ikr, it sounds so patriotic and gives me "we fight, we unite, for Natlan!"
Same!! Goosebumps
THIS HITS DIFFERENT AFTER ODE TO RESSURECTION MAN
YESSSS
The only bad thing about it was that was the short version
We will see the full version eventually
(Spoiler alert) Thinking of when Kachina was lost in the abyss and this song kept her sanity, especially at 3:39
YES
I dont know why, but this is the type of music that makes you love life
YOU GET ITTT!!!

I love it when you can recognise “Photons of Fluctuations” in every battle theme. It’s such an Iconic motif that reminds you that these amazing experiences, battles are from the beautiful wild world of Teyvat.
My respects to the Hoyo-Mix team.
At 5:25 (and onwards) for those wondering! You might recognise it as the “Mondstat theme” because a lot of Monstat’s music, battle themes especially, feature it prominently
me when I found the Teyvat leitmotif
I got chills hearing that. It's amazing in every new rendition. Here's the other songs where everyone can find the battle theme motif:
Liyue - Gallant Challenge
Inazuma - Overlord of the Thunderstorm, Fiery Pursuit
Sumeru - Swirls of Shamshir/Swirls of the Stream
Does anyone know if Fontaine contains the motif? I can't find it!
@@silentspeedy
Fontaine:
Rondeu des fleurs et des rapieres
Lamentation et triomphe
You can find this leitmotif in many other battle tracks. Someone has even made a compilation of it.
@@silentspeedyalso basically half of apeps theme lol, but for real it’s in like a third of the entire ost
As an African, I felt this music calling for my soul. Genshin music set the standards so high for me when it comes to game music.
If you haven't already, you should listen to K'Sante's Theme from League of Legends too. As a pasty white guy, I also somehow felt both of these pieces calling for my soul lol. The absolute raw power of traditional African vocals and the African percussion/woodwinds in both of these pieces contain this undeniable force that just grabs you and pulls you in. I think it's an absolute shame this style of music is so rare in the western world. We're missing out big time.
@xMewShick Language is Swahili from East-Africa (around Tanzania), but the pan-pipes used in the music are from south-America. Natlan isn't a one to one representation from a place real life, it's multiple elements and influences from different cultures.
As an African I am absolutely amazed how it connects me with our way of seeing life and things like that make me stronger when I say that no matter how much we've been threatened I'll never regret being born African
@@jakobjakobson5089im from a country that speaks swahiliiiii

@@jeykrim6767Nah. I can't tell you how much I love Red Army aesthetics. The Fatui Harbingers are blinged up just like them too. So when the OST finally gets to them, we are sailing with Red Army marches and Tchaikovsky all the way.

so sorry to disappoint you, but have you ever heard the sentence "im not racist, but..."? well, this concert is the "we're not racist" part, then the fact that every Natlan character is paper white Is the big BUT part
@@simonironson8518you are THE definition of the quote. Why should you care what devs put in their game and what they didn't. What done is done ost is amazing region design is expected to be great and the whole other things shouldn't be carried about. And to ruin the drama the continents that are "represented" in bold quotes are Latin America AND Africa so the skin colour isn't the thing you should ask for but the content of the region
(I am from Russia myself so it is my own opinion)
@@simonironson8518blud, it's called inspiration for a reason, not representation or being racist. Best example is this music, they didn't represent African music because that's BS when a lot of the instruments are not traditional that's why it's inspired; reinterpretation of culture through the creative mix in a fictional world
yep every genshin post has some bots defending them, but still I haven't seen any african people representation in any playable character so far, so go make fun of someone else lol

THIS is why this game is my favorite. You cant listen to those bangers which we get with every region and say that genshin doesn`t properly show cultures. Genshin may not be THE best, but for me it is. It shows a lot of cultures in a interesting way and makes learning about them much more fun for those, who otherwise would not care at all. Music unites..
Agree. Starting this game, I became interested in unfamiliar languages and cultures.
Agreed
Yeah, Genshin may, like many Chinese games, have a problem with colourism, but it definitely works hard to represent cultures authentically.
I found a small ocarina being played on stage, that thing felt more latino inclusive that anything I've seen in media so far
I can't agree more. sure, the game has a bit of a problem with skin color which is a bummer, but genshin, unlike any other "cultural representation" piece of media, actually made me research cultures included in this game and learn about the world. THAT'S what representation should be.
getting chills from that segment at 2:47, the vocals, the music, the lyrics, "For our family, homeland, and nation (For glory), For our ideals, dreams, and future (For hope)"....
Now you know the base of latin american culture, and why we keep going forward despite everything.

@@jujutsuingi think this is just wrong. I am also a Poc and while i absolutely love the music of Natlan I have to say il just really dissapointed with the character designs for Natlan and in genshin in general
The lack of skin tone variety just makes a lot more designs boring. Im no saying that skin color is all that matters obviously but having played this game for years im just bored of having character starting to look all the same.
I really like the fact that they went for a more modern style for Natlans cast since the more "tribal" look can often be misinformed. However i feel like the style makes a lot of the natlan cast just not as interesting. Especially Mavuika and Chaska
That is truly beautiful

THE FIRST ONE IS LIKE A THEME THE NIGHT BEFORE A WAR, AMAZING AS ALWAYS HOYOMIX. KUDOS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS MASTERPIECE
Like a ceremonial ritual for the warriors, as blessing for the upcoming battle, for they could return victorious
A battlecry, as the Abyss seeks their land. This is really the best theme that fits the upcoming story.
I could imagine a massive number of people fully equip their warrior gear, prepare for their final battle.
The first one was so solemn and emotional it makes me feel patriotic for a nation that doesn't exist.
Kinda reminds me of lord of the rings when they gonna set off on a journey.
I am Brazilian, hearing all these instruments from different countries come together to build music and songs that resonates with us is exactly what Brazil itself is: a place where everyone comes together to be one nation.
Whoever came before you and whoever comes after you defines who we are as people. It is they and you that makes our country as diverse as it is today. And this? This makes me feel hope that one day we will curb all stereotypes and the racism that is aimed at us all from both foreigners and within our own countries.

me too Im from china I like El Condor Pasa
I cried and id never even seen some of these instruments before!! So incredible
Its really interesting what they did, fusing the flutes with baroque at the very beginning (swahili baroque btw lmao thats really odd), but also the general constitution of an epic orchestra to add volume to the rest of the theme. Though I think sadly the first theme is like one of the few times where the ocarina, zampoña, and quena shine in context, for the other themes they get melted into the tribal theme natlan searches for which is a bit of a shame.
I'm not from your culture but as a fellow latinamerican I was also excited when I listened and saw the instruments.
Right? Knowing the potential of such beautiful instruments as quena and zampoña I couldn't help it but think maybe the composers could have used them in a more epic way at some parts of the songs, but still I'm so happy to see they made such amazing songs including them! This is true art.
Yu Peng Chen was right about trust their legacy on the new composer talents. Dimeng Yuan and Yuxi Wang made a great job. And of course the great director Robert Ziegler.
Not gonna lie, the orchestral performance made me cry. Seeing all the different cultures performing was beautiful but also seeing two indigenous people performing just made me sob. I'm indigenous and seeing that alone just hurt and made me feel seen all at once because there is little to no representation of my people. Hoyo really outdid themselves on this one.
Your feelings are so ridiculously valid. It really creates an odd feeling to see such beautiful representation and know the problems exist simultaneously. It's definitely a testament to the hearts of the vocalists and musicians within the performance. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤
this is one of the reasons why i will love this game forever..
It just feels so sad that all these people criticizing Hoyo in representation won't ever come close to what Hoyo has done for these people... Can't they see that hoyo is trying?
My friend who is congolese was actually bawling in the car with me when we were going to dinner yesterday. I started playing it and she was like "Oh cool Swahili", and as soon as the flutes at 1:44 started she started sobbing and it only went downhill from there. She doesn't even play or know anything about the game, I just told her there was some new music that is inspired by her native country. She said it made her miss her home which was wartorn when her whole family had to emigrate. Anyways I had to cry when she mentioned that. xD
I think music like this is so powerful since it matches the theme of Natlan, which is War (oppression by colonizers), Death (the people's heroes martyring one by one to try and protect in the face of superior firepower), and Rebirth (their stories and spirit living on so the next generations can help revive the nations that were wiped out). It also had people from native cultures of Africa, South America, North America and other ring of fire nations, all countries that suffered immensely or had their culture, languages, people wiped out by foreign invaders performing together. This is a masterpiece for sure.
8:30 this part gives me an eargasm every time i hear it. all the voices and instruments coming together to fill up the melody is so powerful and amazing
I believe this is the first time that singing is part of the main theme. It goes to show how the voice is a primary instrument in the cultures where this music was derived from.
Also, a certain imagery forms in my head - feels like singing around a bonfire.
Fontaine’s main theme has a choir but it’s more just singing cords than lyrics
For me, this feels like a chant or prayers that we do while war/after the war.
Atleast the lyrics feels like that
Outside of boss fights, yes. Fontaine's main theme was a teaser of vocals in main themes.
These two songs really are giving very strong tribe vibes and I love them so much
@@chiaki7099i went to see just to reply, yes, while in fontaine we had a choir the choir was a part of the whole song. Natlan & Anthem are the first songs, nationwise and not boss fights related, to make the voice a central focus of the song.
I'm a proud South African and this made me have goosebumps with how good it is, genshin never disappoints with the ost
My fellow south african

Fontaine - Mysterious
Natlan - Heroic
Sumeru?
@@ayanseikh4025 damn legitimately can’t believe I forgot. 😅 gonna edit.
Liyue has that prosperous vibe to it, and Inazuma goes regal in its second half.
This is one of the best descriptions of the music of all regions
Great work!!

who’s here after 5.1 archon quest 🔥

Quest was absolute cinema 🔥

the guy at beginning literally got the voice of a warrior calling you into battle. absolutely cooked with the music as always
im north african and i had my time with the sumeru ost, one of the greatest modern days musical pieces ever written, but i have to admit that natlan’s ost surpassed sumeru’s. While sumeru ost gave us a feeling of multiple cultures combined in one song, a song that you would hear playing on the streets anywhere, enjoying it without paying much attention to it because you’re used to it, Natlan’s ost gave us a feeling of unity, a feeling of “no matter our differences we’ll always be one”. Natlan’s ost makes you stand up in chills, the way you’d stand up for your national anthem. The performers knew how to portray such a feeling, that no matter where you are in the world, if you were tightly familiar with african, american-latin, or native culture at some point in your life, you would absorb this ost, the way you would absorb a call to stand up for your nation, for your people.
my expectations were nothing but high, i dont know how hoyo-mix managed to go even higher this time.
Fr, these two tracks moved the African spirit in me, I've never felt this way before.
Music uniting people all over the world through emotion, I felt awakened
Ngl some people might say the English lyrics are "cringe" but for me GEEZ IT SMACKED I GOT CHILLS JUST BY READING IT
@@Cogzyolk cringe? No way, that sounds like an actual country's national hymn.
@@the8flo1 RIGHT THAT'S WHAT I THINK TOO but of course in the heaven of the internet aka Twitter I saw someone saying the lyrics are too dramatic and cringe and people ACTUALLY AGREEING
@@Cogzyolk That's why I almost never check twitter. Only negativity there.
That's really giving the vibes of the approaching of the story peak. Like we are not playing games anymore.
Totally agree.
It was a long journey but yeah we finally there, at that point of the story.
Hope so, cuz i don't want a pokemon gym battle 😔
True! Seems genshin is cooking for something real big.
🤌👌👌
after doing the recent Archon Quest. I came back here, and bro.. I cried.. and felt it even more.
For Natlan!
Coming off the hype that was the Olympics, this anthem feels like how a proper sporting anthem should have been...
It's so beautiful that I am still tearing up.
This music lyrics are kind of waiting a hero to come back which Olympic do with top 1 human on their own specialization
yes! i got the olympics feel from it as well, all the courage and glory lyrics etc. makes sense that natlan has a tournament arc
YES IT HAS THAT OLYMPIC FEELING
Imagine in the next olympics they get to play this in the olympics. IT'LL BE WILD
It is the Natlan tournament hype which is similiar to the Olympics.
Genshin region/nation themes vibe :
Mondstadt - Adventure
Liyue - Trading
Inazuma - Menacing
Sumeru - Knowledge
Fontaine - Opera
Natlan - Heroic
I wonder what Snezshanya theme will be ? Gloomy ? Or Romantic ?
Melodramatic maybe, due to the whole Goddess of Love losing her love thung
@@LOLmasehmelodrama was Fontaine's trendmark
@@VishyVashy-w9q we already heard the snezshanaya theme, in the signora funeral and the last minute of The Song Burning in the Embers, its "cold", "wicked" and "tragedy"
@@LOLmaseh we don't know Tsaritsa's ideal yet, her being the God of Love is a headcanon that community started spreading everywhere

We are a band playing Andean music in Japan🇯🇵🇧🇴🇵🇪
We're very happy to see Andean instruments collaborating with various other instruments❤️
Wishing all the best for your band in the future! That's so cool to hear! 💞 I never thought there'd be bands performing these types of instruments outside of their own region
Wishing you guys all the best! Those are amazing performances!
Thx again, u guys have created something truly wonderful and beyond time. True masterpiece!!❤❤My due respect to Genshin and all the artists!!❤❤❤🎉🎉

Y'all did an amazing job
Four acts later, Natlan's main theme finally comes to fruition...
We have lost 2000+ people, faced 2000+ monsters. Everything finally came together. The domain quest was top tier...especially with how the finale theme used 1:24 as its base...
Ushujaa waangaza mbingu na ardhi
Mara tena ashinda Natlan
Im pacific islander and omg😭 seeing African and native Americans(meso-american) in a Collab gave me literal chills 🥹this is literally so beautiful. Idk its probably the fact that us pacific islanders are tribal like y'all just makes me so idk overwhelmed seeing indigenous people together
IM PACIFIC ISLANDER TOO AND KNOWING THE ARCHON AND MUALANI HAVE A LITTLE INSPO FORM POLYNESIAN CULTUTE ATLEAST NAME WISE AND SUCH GOT ME SO PUMPED UP
It’s not Native American , it’s meso American from Latin America and it’s not ok how they’re just mushing our cultures together when they’re completely different
@@Add-b4c theres only 7 regions and 195+ countries and hundreds of cultures around the world. It's impossible to add every single culture and country and its amazing how Hoyo added SOMETHING for all the main cultures/countries even if its mushed together
@@Add-b4c in my opinion I feel like it is amazing how they are incorporating multiple cultures into a music piece. It’s impressive, and many cultures overlap on certain things, so finding what is and isn’t connected to compose a piece take a lot of work. PLUS, if you didn’t notice Sumeru is the biggest region(so far) because it takes inspiration from the most cultures/countries. The desert let’s middle eastern and northern African instruments and tunes shine. The rainforest lets south Asian instruments and tunes shine. And there are a bunch of soundtracks, so a city theme could be mainly this country, while a cafe theme could be another. Also if you look at the comments people from many different countries are happy because they recognized something from their culture whether it be the steel pan or the Swahili vocals.
If you wanna pull a “I ain’t readin all of that” than what I said is summarized in these points:
- the more cultures, the bigger the region, each spot in the region has a group of similar culture
- so many soundtracks in one region, cultures can shine in a certain soundtrack
- people from various cultures are happy
The music shows that the war in this nation is not about the misery, death, and chaos of the battlefield, but rather the struggle, the glory, and the vivid, optimistic way of life. I literally got tears in my eyes when hearing this.
Mexico's hymn is something like that it talks about defending our nation, and all the motherland sons bringing glory with them after the battle and even the ones who perished will have it.
"Fight to death, may the winner takes all" - it's truely touching
I'm actually about to cry
This is so good it's almost like a national anthem!
EXACTLY!!! I WAS LIKE NATLAN ANTHEM🫡🫡🫡
i was literally thinking "wouldn't it be funny if some african country actually made the natlan theme their national anthem?"
@@hiddendrifts They used Swahili language for this (a popular Eastern African language mostly in Tanzania and Kenya)
@@luqmti6634 i would laugh if either of those places adopted the natlan theme as their national anthem
@@hiddendriftsits like the jojo part 5 last OP claimed as italian anthem by community Lol
I cried for 9 minutes straight while listening to this. My love for music and playing instruments were founded on game/RPG music, and amid all the chaos in the world I'm glad I'm still alive for this.
The first song absolutely HAS to feature in the main quest, theres got to be an incredibly dramatic and heartfelt moment where this plays in all its glory!!
I imagine this being played as we enter the Coliseum of the Sacred Flame, like the anthem before the battle begins!
Agree!! I had a feeling that the first song will be use in the climax of the story soon...i mean, the music itself, and especially the lyrics, not only telling us about the information of the story, but also like some motivational words for Traveler and Natlan's tribes in facing the Abyss
Ode of Resurrection: Excerpt - 0:38
5.1 Finale Theme (fighting back after the heroes gathered: For Natlan) - 1:23
I actually cried when i heard and read the lyrics. Never been so hyped because of music like this before.Can't wait to enter Natlan and experience the music firsthand in the game.
Same here 😭
real, it got that bittersweet feelings mixed in
It even reminds me of the current conflict in Ukraine at the moment. The lyrics resonate in these brave warriors in the real world.
Reading them in swahili is even better
Thrill
Many people, myself included, find themselves moved to tears repeatedly when listening to this piece. It goes beyond just giving me goosebumps; it makes me reflect deeply on the song's essence and why it resonates so strongly. Natlan represents a nation fighting for its destiny, with heroes who fall only to rise again. Their resilience and tragic struggles echo the centuries-long history of resistance against oppression, whether in Latin America, Africa, or Oceania. This song is an anthem for all those heroes who united and sacrificed themselves for their people and families. "For our homeland, we will shed our last drop of blood." Glory to Hoyomix for giving a voice to these often overlooked civilizations.
yeeeees❤
exactly!!!! can't agree with you more !! Natlan is the song for all the peoples that never stops fighting against invasion and oppression.
Chinese players including myself immediately think of a few names: Che Guevara, Thomas Sankara, and Salvador Allende.
this is actually how national anthems formed. Response in revolution in Latin America
With 5.1, "For our homeland, we will shed our last drop of blood" materializes...
Come back here after the War.
Natlan No Tameni!
6:29 when they said "Shujaa" in harmony and the chorus flows in it gave me chills
The importance of waiting for a hero in both lyrics, made me remember current Simulanka, because it's centered around waiting for a hero.
And in that case, the hero is not the Traveler. The titular hero in Natlan story is probably also not Traveler, because as the Archons and Alice said, Traveler is a witness.
Heroes come from the people.
@@LS-qs9ju Which doesn’t make sense since most of the time they’re the ones carrying the entire story.
@@deathwingthedestroyer3632 True. The traveller is the one doing all the work and actually in the center of helping the nations. They should be considered a hero, not just a witness.
@@LS-qs9ju Yes! People are the real hero!
So cool that they also realeased a game for this song
So real. Such a nice little detail, it’s like music videos but playable
True, I never expected a music company to make a high quality game as well! Nice surprise
XD
I always though of hoyo as music/art company that happens to know how to make games a little bit xD
Shared this music to my African colleague and he bursted into tears. He said that he feels the call from blood and from ancestors, and he feels the respect to their culture. Thanks miHoYo.
Did you show them what the Natlan characters looks like?
Did he still say that after? Doubtful
@@lostforever773 Music is borderless. That’s all.
@@infinitecj then why isn't Genshin character design wise
Because they're racist
Exactly
@@lostforever773 You know nothing. MiHoYo hires black musicians and provides jobs to them, on the opposite side you do nothing but opening your big mouth and saying nonsense words.
@@lostforever773 西方政治正确可真是可笑，我看这些角色的肤色明明就是在动漫里正常的代表非洲/美洲本土人的肤色。当然，你不喜欢也没关系，不过还是要说一句，白人是最没用资格说racist这个词的人，因为就是他们贩卖黑奴，压迫南北美洲本土人。
This hits different after 5.1...
For Natlan.
@@MadGeneral For Natlan!!
For Natlan!
For Natlan!!!
Dayum
The fact hoyo managed to put different cultures together in a single game and make it work is one of the things that make Genshin Impact truly one of a kind and amazing game. A fantasy earth.
Yeah, they do a great work through the music and scenery and people still complain about the characters
@@DefinitelyNotAFerretPeople are allowed to complain. Hoyo is able to bring in people of multiple ethnicities and races for the musical aspect, but don’t represent said people in game in a region that takes heavy inspirations.
@@melonstarzzikr, why do liyue and inazuma characters dont have slanted eyes too?
@@melonstarzz The people are represented through their music, fashion, folklore, and other forms of cultural expression.
@@Jackson-ub1uv Skin diversity is included in the umbrella, how can you talk about african culture without the importance of black people for example?
The whole symphony performance sounds so triumphant and full of confidence, very fitting for the "nation of war"
THIS IS WHAT MAKES GENSHIN BEAUTIFUL AND WORTH IT! They keep producing these kinds of art that unfortunately a few of the community realizes and is overshadowed by the gacha system. I really appreciate how the orchestra thus far has been a banger and brings the oomph and excitement for every region!
yes i love the culture being represented so good in the game! the skin representation is lacking... but the food, the music, the architecture?? ohmygod im ascending
We are the inheritors of memory and legend, those who forged our own destiny and future. That is Natlan's fire, the lifeblood of our nation
I don't care about how generous other gatcha games can be, I'm willing to cut any rewards if they can produce something like this in exchange.
This is what I'm searching for in my games. Quality music!
Have to agree with this...
A certain game has great gameplay and generosity, but the music it has was so forgettable.
fortunately they finally listened to their fans, the next update had the biggest update genshin ever had, from the qol update, the droprate increase, bigger (in amount) rewards, and finally, a free 5star standard character! Genshin player eatin good at last
@@obesmol but still, a bit late for 4 years, yeah? :v
@@jedpapin1936 Be grateful we even got it, besides I like games with a challenge and don't keep giving us freebies
@@jedpapin1936 they are SO late for that but better late than never no?
That “Ode of Resurrection” recital gives me chills once Natlan people perform it in game🔥🔥🔥
I don't know what will happen in the story, but the first OST lyric legit makes me chill. The "Do you fear death? No" and "Come back, we've been waiting".
I hope the hero of every tribe in Natlan get to bring glory to their people!
The power of hydro flows through my eyes when I play the entire act 4 in 5.1, but then the power of pyro sets my heart ablaze so that I keep my head up till the last second of chaotic war. Truly a twist from those funny moments (citlali and ororon’s interaction) to a moment of broken heart (chuychu) and a moment of excitement (false sky reveal).
Seeing different races produce this beautiful music always reminds me that there's always hope for humanity.
So true. The way Hoyo has merged all these different instruments and languages from all around the world reminds me that we humans are just one big family in the end. Love from Finland 🇫🇮❤
We dont say race man, there is one race that is the human one, we are not dogs
Orchestral music is the pinnacle of what it means to be human, I believe; it is personal talent and collaboration, creativity and discipline, tradition and innovation - all combined.
@@ririrolland5132 Same specie but different races, there's nothing wrong with that.
We can celebrate our differences without fighting each others.
As long as we can reproduce with each other, we can share a common future.
This is how nature works and the only thing history will remember in the end.
@@LadyHermes We each have our differences, but those differences are based on our personalities and how we act. We shouldn't be judged by our bodies or our appearances. Modern society is trying to separate and diversify us in every way possible (race, gender, culture, sexuality, etc) and I think all that does is generate more hate and conflict.
When I first see somebody, I view them as a human being. Not "black person" or "white person". Not "man" or "woman". Just human. And then as I'll judge them as I get to know more about them.
9:03 felt that guy hitting the dab at the bottom right, must feel so thrilling to play such epic music

started tearing up hoyo music NEVER MISSES + the battle theme is a such an absolute banger. going to start a fight just to be killed listening to the music
Samee, just teared up listening to this and thinking how far we've come. MAN AM I EXCITED FOR NATLAN !!!
@@shazee6608me too….so so good.
For real, the battle theme is *hype* man
World lvl 9 baby
Same. I was getting teared up. The music gave me goosebumps. I can't wait for Natlan. 😊
1:24 From first release this theme really makes me goosebumps, and it was perfect when i just back from archon quest 5:1 😭😭
For natlan!!
I'm Indonesian, when first listening to this on the stream it got me fired up giving a lot of tension, but when turning captions on it struck me and got me teared up a little. Genshin's ost can make you teared up when you know the context when the music is used in the part of story, but this time Hoyo-Mix did a great job got me teared up a little while not even going to Natlan yet. And for the ethnic instruments performer and singer too let's pay them huge respect in preserving their culture and hope the culture they preserving got more attention from the young and further upcoming generation.
Genshin somehow keep getting ethnic musician for EACH of their musical performance
Sumeru, Fontaine, Inazuma, Liyue, Mondstat and now Natlan!
Its FANTASTIC. Not many corporations bother with this kind of thing
menyala abangku 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@dahan5457 definisi region "menyala abangku"
As fellow Indonesian coming from eastern region the songs gave me goosebumps and teary eyes. Even though Natlan is majorly inspired by both Native American and African culture the music giving huge resemblance to our Austronesian traditional music (especially Papua)
@@3takoyakisIt’s true….I can’t even recall any other game company that makes this much effort. Looking at you Ubisoft.
I was expecting some Nahuatl, Mayan or Quechua singers. but somehow I don't feel disappointed. As a latino (born and raised) I hear all the songs with teary eyes, that was wonderful
My reaction exactly. I’m a Caribbean Latino and hearing the steel pan in the battle theme brought tears to my eyes. But seeing how they’ve meshed Indigenous American, Pacific Islander, and African cultures together is truly a special experience
Ídem, as Peruvian i was surprised by the Swahili but deeply moved by it, and you can imagine my reaction when I saw the quena and zampoña 😭😭😭 just a few seconds earlier I jokingly told my brother that it was only missing a quena ❤
dont worry there are three battle songs
Cómo mexicano, pienso lo mismo. Me emocionó que mucha terminología de Natlan tenga de base el Náhuatl, y quería que también hubiera algo de eso en las canciones.
Tenía las expectativas muy altas y aún así las superaron por goleada, y la orquesta no decepcionó en absoluto.
A final de cuentas y gracias al mestizaje, hay un poco de los pueblos africanos en nosotros, gente de LATAM.
I'm brazilian and i really cried when they sing the "for our family, homeland and nation (for glory)...for our ideals, Dreams and future (for hope)"
I am absolutely addicted to Anthem of the Savannah. Especially at 6:30 where the choir started singing, the whole build up in 6:50 leading to my favorite part at 7:02 omg I can't stress enough how much I love that whole section
Me too!!
4:55 my fav battle theme
So right!!! Love the part from 5:58 ❤
Dimeng Yuan and Yuxi Wang absolutely GOATED for these compositions!!
Gosh these performances sent a chill down my spine. It's so majestic and powerful!
3:04 I just love love love love when they are singing “Come back, we’ve been waiting”, it feels very emotional for me. Knowing why and who you are fighting for is great. I love Natlan.
I seriously can’t stop coming back to this. It gives me full body chills every time. The power of music is so incredible
Full hype for 5.0
same, its just too adictive
I never came back this much ever since Friday. Natlan's main theme felt so different from the other regional themes the game has.
SAME
FR??? 😭😭😭😭🥹🥹
You guys killed it. The music enhanced the story SO much and I’ll never not be amazed by this
