I'm very impressed, actually shocked at first that you almost mimicked/ sorry for my bad vocabulary/ the tunes. And I have to say that you almost did the tune we call "Хархираа /Kharkhiraa/ " and surprisingly there was a little bit of tune we call "Хөөмий /Khuumii/ " later. That was nice and surprised me that a foreign person doing that. It requires a lot of practice and sweat to do them clean even in Mongolia. To tell you the truth I gave up a long long ago. Great job there. Oh FYI, "Shireg" is a ritual we do when babies cry for no reason. And we think that he or she scared from something and we melt candle or lead and do the ritual saying "shireg, shireg' and then pour the molten candle or lead to water. And we think that shape of it show the "THING" what he or she scared of. And surprisingly it really show the general shape of it. And we show that shape to the child and break or throw it before his or her eyes, some other people put it under the pillow baby uses. I am a father of three children and this method is very very effective. Children stops crying almost moment after this ritual and sleeps safe and sound. And only fathers do this ritual. I don't know the reason why mothers don't do it.
Thank you for the info! And thanks for he compliments regarding my mimicking, I’d love to dive in a wee bit more to really harness the sound properly. I hope you get back into singing it! It’s a really hard style of vocal, but so worth it!
They are the Morin Khuur aka horse head fiddle, tovshuur that looks like a guitar but it isn't exactly. The Tsuur flute it is a type of flute and the jaw harp.
Enjoy the official translated lyrics all! Water your red horse with piebald mane without the gag-bit Please, remember the kindness of your old and grey father Ride on the slope of the blue fold mountains Please, remember the compassion of your old and caring mother Shireg shireg Shireg shireg Take care of your loyal steed when you travel in foreign lands Make friends with good people who you ride in the horde Feed your bow and arrow with the wind Abide by your moon sword as you sleep Have the intuition to see the evil Have the strength to endure barriers Shireg shireg Shireg shireg We kiss your right cheek as we say farewell We'll kiss the left one when you return Farewell, your elderly father and mother will be waiting for you at home Shireg shireg Shireg Shireg
They are the coolest awesomest band on the planet and they keep getting better over time if you ever have an opportunity to see them live take it. Check out all of their videos.
The lute type instrument is called a Tovshuur and the fiddles are Morin Khuur otherwise known as horse head fiddles. They've had them slightly modified from the traditional style instruments.
The lyric says that I am leaving my benevolent Parents to explore the World and they said to be awareness to know evilness and be brave to overcome the difficulties...And I will do as my parents said and meet my gracious Mother and Father again happily
This song sounds very therapeutic and calming to me :) also, that throat singing was quite impressive on your part, ive never seen a vocal coach actually give it a try in a reaction, that's super cool :D
Your intuition is absolutely right. The song is about parents and children and shireg shireg is something that is said to a scared or fearful child to calm them down (there's more to it, but I only read that stuff on a comment of the video and I'm not familiar enough to the custom to explain it correctly...)
This is the coolest awesomest band on the planet and they keep getting better over time and if you ever have an opportunity to see them live take it. Check out all of their videos they are totally awesome.
they are an awesome band but I regret that they limit themselves to the Rock/Metall part as throat singing has so much more facettes. Check out Huun‐Huur‐Tu ruclips.net/video/R2ovoRyv4kw/видео.html
Impressive! I've heard The Hu before (Wolf Totem) but I couldn't heard strong polyphonics like in this song. On top of that you provided an insightful expanation of the theory (and practice) of that kind of singing. Bravo! P.S. Look at the doggo's reaction when Sam starts withthe throat singing.
I was introduced to the HU just recently. I seen that one of their songs has 1.9.billion views, just for perspective on Europe/USA views. I know they have world tours already done. SeverL members have Master Dehrees in music theory. Great band to listen to. Great review!
I absolutely love The Hu Band! Thanks for posting this Reaction. You’re the only Reactor who actually tried the Throat Singing 🎤 and sounded decent. I definitely appreciate and relate to the comments made. Once again, ty for supporting this unique and amazingly talented group from Mongolia 🇲🇳. There are several songs that I enjoy 😉 each time I listen to The Gereg Album. I have my daughter listening to their Awesome 👏🏽 Music as well. 🙇🏻♀️🎵🎶❤️🎵🔑👌🏽🇺🇸. If you get the opportunity listen to the song...The SAME by this Great 👍🏽 Band.
Jaw harp, or mouth harp. Many cultures have their own version of it all with different qualities of sounds. It's a fun little instrument. I long to play jaw harp in a hillbilly mountain death metal band one day. lmao
Right then. Mongolian Folk Instruments, MFI-101. 'Flutey, pan pipey thing' - and you're right, there's no mouthpiece, is a "Tsuur". The "horsey head thing", is the Mongolian national instrument, a two stringed fiddle or cello, played with a bow, and is a "Morin Khuur", and is the only musical instrument accepted by the UN as a World Heritage listed cultural artifact. There is also a 3 stringed bass variant, also with the horse head carving called an "ikh-khuur".The "twangy mouth thing" is an all metal (steel) mouth harp similar to the 'jaw harp' (which is also sometimes miscalled a 'Jew's Harp') and is called a Chuug-uur. The three stringed thingamabob with the pointy end and ornate face plate carving is a long necked Mongolian lute called a "doshpuluur". Also heard in this clip, but I didn't actually see it, is the "shigshuur", a mystical rattle made from a bull's horn and carved in the shape of a crow or raven. There you go, you are now a budding aficionado of Mongolian folk instruments, though there are many others. They also have, or maybe had, a 'bag-pipey thing' too, but I've never seen one, or heard one, and don't know its name. It may have been consigned to the dustbin of history during the Communist period in Mongolia. I have a vague memory that the 'pipes originated in China. You'll notice all these names end in 'uur' a suffix that means roughly 'for making sound'. Have a throaty day mate!
For something different search RUclips for Hu's in the kitchen. The band did a series of videos of them cooking and eating traditinal Mongolian meals while they were ontour.
@@orvillegibson188 Not all of them were in Australia only actually it did include other places too besides just Australia watch the series and you will see that.
There are also ones where they help or do the cooking themselves they also have a series of videos HU We Are where they show aspects of their lives that is pretty awesome too.
Immediately stunned by the fact that you can just easily imitate their Mongolian throat singing😅 I’ve come nowhere close to being able to make this noise and I’m believe me I’ve tried 😂
Anyone who enjoyed this you really need to check out the jason ellis show of this song, just for the end of it, they get the guy from the thumbnail of this video (which is from the jason ellis show) to perform throat singing by itself so you can clearly hear it.. sorry for the disrespect to say to go to another video but Sam did use the image for his thumbnail from the video im saying to go check out.
The Jew's Harp (it's known by a dozen other names, but that's the official name) creates resonance by transferring the sound from the harp to the teeth, then through the cavity that you produce through your mouth, throat, and nose and then back out of the mouth. The sounds are made by adjusting the vocal folds and tongue to allow the resonance to move in different spaces before leaving the mouth. It's kind of a fun instrument to play around with, it really gives you a conscious feel for your vocal folds. There's a lot of styles that create different sounds and nearly every culture has a version, and they're usually tuned to a specific key, but some leave them untuned for a different style of play. If you decide you want to get one make sure you're buying from a reputable maker, most stores that sell musical instruments don't actually carry Jew's Harps that work very well (I'm looking at you Snoopy brand). Entry-level jaw harps usually go for $30-40. They come in materials ranging from wood to steel and just about everything in between. There's a lot of videos and info floating around on the web to help you know what to look for. There's quite a bit of nuance to playing them but it's largely a lost instrument and left to folk music in just a few places in the world.
Joshua Cairns wow! Thank you for the info! That sounds like an instrument I’d like to get a feel for! Kind of like back to front sound production (vocal wise). Your explanation has really given me a craving to try it out!
I don't speak their language. But I'll tell you right now the first time I heard this song was this particular version of it... And maybe 20 seconds in to that first verse I tears coming out of both eyes. This is an amazing band. These guys are phenomenal. Music truly is the universal language. I may not speak their native tongue but I definitely feel what it is that they're saying. Beautiful 🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏
Have you heard Voiceplay yet? Can't tell you where to start, so many fabulous tracks. And their bass singer Geoff Castallucci's solo tracks equally impressive.
@@SSTVocalCoach The Oogie Boogie song is a lot of fun but doesn't give a good idea of their skill with harmonies and actual voices. Boy Band in 5 monutes is also fun and cleverly done but something like Mr Blue Sky or Sh-Boom , Life could be a dream, are two upbeat numbers, while somethig like True Colours is just pure harmony. And my all time favourite I think is Tennessee Whisky.
I appreciate your analysis. That makes this stand out as a reaction video. A good choice for a vocal expert, heh. You could just be making stuff up for all I know - I know nothing about your field and sort of wish I did - but if so it's very convincing! That's a joke. If I could sing, I could probably learn something from you. Well done, cheers
Please react to "Sugaan Essena" live recordings. Please! It's...addictive for starters & yer in for a treat. All their instruments have been hand & custom made for each with their specific color. 💙🤍💜 It's a mouth harp. lovely beautiful. Watch Zarina of Olox for an experience... Gorrrgeous

I stumbled across these guys a few years back. Now I live in the United states. I only speak and understand english. But I'll tell you something halfway through the first verse I had tears in my eyes. I felt that in my very soul. I didn't know what the hell they were talking about. And in those moments I didn't need to. I can feel it big time. And I'm not too much of a man to tell you that every time I hear this song..... My eyes get a bit misty.
Another dimension added to your polyphonic singing. I know you've seen Anna-Maria Hefele, but I don't know if you've seen the Ted Talk she gave where she put her voice through a spectogram so you can see the overtones on a screen. She also shows a video of an MRI they did of her singing, so you can see what her tongue is doing. There is another short MRI video which I think shows it better : ruclips.net/video/YIUvX7hebBA/видео.html
As it happens, how are they holding complete SHOW with these vocals technics whithout breaking their voices, i mean okay you can train but at this point ?
I think the reason is that the activity isn’t centred at the vocal folds, or at least, it’s not about pushing breath at the folds, which is a big factor in vocal fatigue. It’s hard to explain, and obviously I was just mimicking the sound with no training in it, but it’s more about movement around the folds to vibrate the sound, and manipulation of the vocal tract to shape the sound a bit, and it ends up not being uncomfortable. Not a huge help, but I hope this comment helped a bit in answering your question.
woow super impressed! You were able to make similar sound on the go... it requires great talent + training... ( probably you need more training if you want to do it consistently ) We already know The Hu is amazingly unique on World stage but I'm more impressed with you :). I'm a Mongolian but Live in the States.
Yo Sam! Awesome video as always! I've got a request, something TRULY different that you've NEVER heard before. The video is called "Beatbox Two.H - Grand Beatbox Battle 2020 : World League Solo Wildcard". Hint: POLYPHONIC techniques that are out of this world. Trust me, you will not regret it. And a plus: it's only 2 minutes long :)
"This is a farewell song for the warriors from their parents. Back in the days when Mongol warriors went to war, their parents would share their wisdom with them and wish for a safe return. When you listen to the song, you’ll hear in the distance the sound of a horse trotting, as the soldiers used to leave their homes for war with their horses."
Theres a tovshuur, morin khuur, aman khuur, etc instruments are in the video. And there are all Mongolian traditional instruments. Some people giving false informations, trying to steal culture?
I'll never forget when I was 6 years old I lost my father. He was all I had. And quite literally with his last few breaths he gave me the best advice that he possibly could. I'm not going to recite what he said word for word here but needless to say.. I'm 42 years old now. I've got five daughters of my own. But I'll never forget those last few minutes with him. It was just him and I in the room nobody else. He said what he needed to say to me and then he was gone. I know that this song is completely different regarding its meaning and what it's all about.. I heard this song for the first time about a year ago. Now I don't speak Mongolian nor do I understand it. This was the first song I ever heard by these guys. The version that I heard was the one from the Jason Ellis show. And I'm thankful for that. I got to watch their body language as they sang the song.. now as I mentioned I don't understand a word of mongolian.. I have translated the song so I do know what it means now. But I'll tell you right now.. this song hit me and it hit me hard. I didn't know what they were singing about but man I tell you I felt it. Oh did I feel it. Right down to my very core. Still do. First time I heard this it had me in tears Maybe 45 seconds into it. Being a United States citizen living here in the northeast.. it's not like this is part of our culture typically. Our culture is all over the place I'm sure as most of you know. Although there are some of us that choose to think and live outside the box with what we do with our lives and what we listen to. I happen to be one of them. I feel very blessed for having stumbled across these guys when I did. I have everything that they've ever released saved in multiple playlists. There are three main artists and or groups that I listen to. The Hu is one. And Nahko. And... Poets Of The Fall. For those of you that do not know who the last two are.. poets of the Fall is a band from finland. They are absolutely phenomenal if you choose to listen to them my suggestion would be to just go on to RUclips and type in the words poets of the fall.. Alexander theater sessions. And just watch it. The entire album was filmed in a very old beautiful theater in Helsinki finland. Nobody else is in the building except for the band on the stage. So so beautifully done. 🙏❤️ And Nahko... He is part Puerto Rican I believe perhaps part Hawaiian and I know he is also part native american. His music is very very powerful. His music talks about his struggles and his survival. He utilizes a lot of native American beliefs and culture in his lifestyle and I pray that I can somehow someday find even half of the enlightenment that man has found. Thank you for reading my ADHD rant. Stay safe out there and God bless. 🙏
@@NortheastSurvival911 I’m 57 (this August) myself, lost my Dad the day after my 8th birthday, he was a Marine in the South Pacific during WWII. I graduated High School in 1983 and went straight into the Army, I remember my Mother saying goodbye and giving me advice the day I was leaving for Basic Training So this song really hits home for me as well.
@@veteranhoffman6776 I can see why it would. Absolutely. And from one vet to another.. thank you. I don't know what your stories are.. it's not my business. But thank you. Because I know exactly what kind of sacrifice it takes. 🙏🇺🇸
Hi. Please check more Mongolian musics and songs. Not just khoomei (throat singing) but also long songs too. Plus, throat singing is not actually Tuvan, it is originally Mongolian. Anyways, great and very professional reaction. 2 thumbs up. 👍
You know, it was almost as if you were learning how to sing as the video went along. As you realised that what you did previously, all you really needed the sounds generation seems more influenced by the echo chamber of your mouth. Ah well, that was what I got from it 😉 and no, I can't sing...
Pretty much aye! I have a very basic knowledge of it from wee clips of Mongolian Throat Singing, but to really sit down and analyse a little deeper was a treat!
I'm very impressed, actually shocked at first that you almost mimicked/ sorry for my bad vocabulary/ the tunes. And I have to say that you almost did the tune we call "Хархираа /Kharkhiraa/ " and surprisingly there was a little bit of tune we call "Хөөмий /Khuumii/ " later. That was nice and surprised me that a foreign person doing that. It requires a lot of practice and sweat to do them clean even in Mongolia. To tell you the truth I gave up a long long ago.
Great job there.
Oh FYI, "Shireg" is a ritual we do when babies cry for no reason.

I don't know the reason why mothers don't do it.

One of the best, professional reaction video ive ever watched has lots of good detailed exlpanation
13:42 When Temuulen plays that final note, it kind of sounds like an acoustic guitar, bass and electric guitar combined 😄
Enjoy the official translated lyrics all!
Water your red horse with piebald mane without the gag-bit
Please, remember the kindness of your old and grey father
Ride on the slope of the blue fold mountains
Please, remember the compassion of your old and caring mother
Shireg shireg
Shireg shireg
Take care of your loyal steed when you travel in foreign lands
Make friends with good people who you ride in the horde
Feed your bow and arrow with the wind
Abide by your moon sword as you sleep
Have the intuition to see the evil
Have the strength to endure barriers
Shireg shireg
Shireg shireg
We kiss your right cheek as we say farewell
We'll kiss the left one when you return
Farewell, your elderly father and mother will be waiting for you at home
Shireg shireg
Shireg Shireg
They are the coolest awesomest band on the planet and they keep getting better over time if you ever have an opportunity to see them live take it. Check out all of their videos.
I love the Hu, and can highly recommend their 'Song of Women' ft Lzzy Hail.
check out : Nine Treasures , Hanggai ,Suld , these 3 bands are also mongolian band , they all from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region ..
@@Uilstiano Will check them out. Thank you!
edit: Also, damn you, hehe, now I have 3 more bands to buy. LOL Nine Treasures was a joy to hear

Mongolian music is so impressive! Such a different technique. It looks so difficult!
An experience indeed 🙂

7 string
1 flute
And
4 AWESOME guy
Wolf totem is also really good by them! You'll enjoy that song for sure.
Wolf totem is my new apocalyptic battle song.
Welcome to The HU! All of their songs are incredible!
Amazing 👏

The horse head guitar is their own type of fiddle. I love the band so much and I love in the United States. This song makes me smile so much.
You're Impressive too!! Great reaction!! L💜 HU!!!! Please More! HU HU HU HU!!!!
OMG the coach, the band, the music AND the dog fits soooo well…. Such a harmonious picture/scene
Shireg Shireg is one of my favorites, but you should do their other songs too
Thank you for the reaction!
I really like how you explain things. Your accent and the dog are some nice bonuses lol.
I love this band! Can’t wait to see your take on them!

Jaw harp, or mouth harp. Many cultures have their own version of it all with different qualities of sounds. It's a fun little instrument. I long to play jaw harp in a hillbilly mountain death metal band one day. lmao
I’ve watched tons of reviews but day-am your good at sounding like the musicians. You were spot on when doing Wardruna-Aurora.
Thanks Numerian! I'm just a voice geek- I love trying to map and mimic a vocal style!
I discovered the Hu Hu by accident on RUclips love the sound sooooooooo unusual.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing sounds, reminiscent of a duet that never happened between Popeye and Bluto. Love it! Mouth harp at the end. Thanks Sam!
Check out the classic Who song: “Join Together With The Band” for a mouth harp song. I think Joe Walsh used this in songs too.
It’s a Mongolian flute. I used to have one, you play it similar to a recorder, but obviously the mouth piece is different

For something different search RUclips for Hu's in the kitchen. The band did a series of videos of them cooking and eating traditinal Mongolian meals while they were ontour.

Really like The HU (Mongolian for human). Especially Yuve Yuve Yu or Sad But True. Good description, an experience! Thanks for this.
Immediately stunned by the fact that you can just easily imitate their Mongolian throat singing😅 I’ve come nowhere close to being able to make this noise and I’m believe me I’ve tried 😂
I can do it, but they have way better breath control than I do 😂
Throat singing from deep chest and they had to practice it for nearly 20 years to perfection
The Hu have easily become my favorite band. You should check out their whole album The Gereg. Second is coming soooon. Early 2022.

@@SSTVocalCoach The Oogie Boogie song is a lot of fun but doesn't give a good idea of their skill with harmonies and actual voices. Boy Band in 5 monutes is also fun and cleverly done but something like Mr Blue Sky or Sh-Boom , Life could be a dream, are two upbeat numbers, while somethig like True Colours is just pure harmony. And my all time favourite I think is Tennessee Whisky.
I appreciate your analysis. That makes this stand out as a reaction video. A good choice for a vocal expert, heh. You could just be making stuff up for all I know - I know nothing about your field and sort of wish I did - but if so it's very convincing! That's a joke. If I could sing, I could probably learn something from you. Well done, cheers
The flute is a Tsuur
I love The HU!!!
you're a natural!
Please react to "Sugaan Essena" live recordings. Please! It's...addictive for starters & yer in for a treat. All their instruments have been hand & custom made for each with their specific color. 💙🤍💜
It's a mouth harp. lovely beautiful. Watch Zarina of Olox for an experience... Gorrrgeous
The 3 instruments that they are playing is a Mongolian Guitar, Horse Head Fiddle, Jaws Harp and a Mongolian recorder.
English translation
Water your red horse with piebald mane without the gag-bit
Please, remember the kindness of your old and grey father
Ride on the slope of the blue fold mountains
Please, remember the compassion of your old and caring mother
Shireg shireg
Shireg shireg
Take care of your loyal steed when you travel in foreign lands
Make friends with good people who you ride in the horde
Feed your bow and arrow with the wind
Abide by your moon sword as you sleep
Have the intuition to see the evil
Have the strength to endure barriers
Shireg shireg
Shireg shireg
We kiss your right cheek as we say farewell
We'll kiss the left one when you return
Farewell, your elderly father and mother will be waiting for you at home
Shireg shireg
Shireg Shireg
¡Waaaaauuuuuu!
I stumbled across these guys a few years back.
Now I live in the United states. I only speak and understand english. But I'll tell you something halfway through the first verse I had tears in my eyes. I felt that in my very soul. I didn't know what the hell they were talking about. And in those moments I didn't need to. I can feel it big time. And I'm not too much of a man to tell you that every time I hear this song..... My eyes get a bit misty.
Hi Sam! Please react to Jordan Hunt - "Peter". So heartbreaking and achingly beautiful! You will love it!
Another dimension added to your polyphonic singing. I know you've seen Anna-Maria Hefele, but I don't know if you've seen the Ted Talk she gave where she put her voice through a spectogram so you can see the overtones on a screen. She also shows a video of an MRI they did of her singing, so you can see what her tongue is doing. There is another short MRI video which I think shows it better : ruclips.net/video/YIUvX7hebBA/видео.html
What you're calling a flute on 1 of the documentary videos it is some kind of Korean woodwind instrument. Jaya is the one playing it.
As it happens, how are they holding complete SHOW with these vocals technics whithout breaking their voices, i mean okay you can train but at this point ?
I think the reason is that the activity isn’t centred at the vocal folds, or at least, it’s not about pushing breath at the folds, which is a big factor in vocal fatigue. It’s hard to explain, and obviously I was just mimicking the sound with no training in it, but it’s more about movement around the folds to vibrate the sound, and manipulation of the vocal tract to shape the sound a bit, and it ends up not being uncomfortable. Not a huge help, but I hope this comment helped a bit in answering your question.
woow super impressed! You were able to make similar sound on the go... it requires great talent + training... ( probably you need more training if you want to do it consistently ) We already know The Hu is amazingly unique on World stage but I'm more impressed with you :). I'm a Mongolian but Live in the States.

Please check out and react to The HU Sad But True.their latest video.
God I love this song
Yo Sam! Awesome video as always! I've got a request, something TRULY different that you've NEVER heard before. The video is called "Beatbox Two.H - Grand Beatbox Battle 2020 : World League Solo Wildcard". Hint: POLYPHONIC techniques that are out of this world. Trust me, you will not regret it.
And a plus: it's only 2 minutes long :)
I like this song also, but my favorite is Yuve Yuve Yu.
nice
I stan Otis.
"This is a farewell song for the warriors from their parents. Back in the days when Mongol warriors went to war, their parents would share their wisdom with them and wish for a safe return. When you listen to the song, you’ll hear in the distance the sound of a horse trotting, as the soldiers used to leave their homes for war with their horses."
Theres a tovshuur, morin khuur, aman khuur, etc instruments are in the video. And there are all Mongolian traditional instruments. Some people giving false informations, trying to steal culture?
the Flute is a Tsuur and the 2 "Guitars" are Horsehead fiddles, and the Guitar is a Mongolian Guitar.
and that was a Mouth Harp at the end.
This song is about Parents saying goodbye to their son, who’s going off to join the Horde, and giving him advice. My 2nd favorite song of theirs.
I'll never forget when I was 6 years old I lost my father. He was all I had. And quite literally with his last few breaths he gave me the best advice that he possibly could. I'm not going to recite what he said word for word here but needless to say.. I'm 42 years old now. I've got five daughters of my own. But I'll never forget those last few minutes with him. It was just him and I in the room nobody else. He said what he needed to say to me and then he was gone. I know that this song is completely different regarding its meaning and what it's all about.. I heard this song for the first time about a year ago. Now I don't speak Mongolian nor do I understand it. This was the first song I ever heard by these guys. The version that I heard was the one from the Jason Ellis show. And I'm thankful for that. I got to watch their body language as they sang the song.. now as I mentioned I don't understand a word of mongolian.. I have translated the song so I do know what it means now. But I'll tell you right now.. this song hit me and it hit me hard. I didn't know what they were singing about but man I tell you I felt it. Oh did I feel it. Right down to my very core. Still do. First time I heard this it had me in tears Maybe 45 seconds into it. Being a United States citizen living here in the northeast.. it's not like this is part of our culture typically. Our culture is all over the place I'm sure as most of you know. Although there are some of us that choose to think and live outside the box with what we do with our lives and what we listen to. I happen to be one of them. I feel very blessed for having stumbled across these guys when I did. I have everything that they've ever released saved in multiple playlists. There are three main artists and or groups that I listen to. The Hu is one. And Nahko. And... Poets Of The Fall.
For those of you that do not know who the last two are.. poets of the Fall is a band from finland. They are absolutely phenomenal if you choose to listen to them my suggestion would be to just go on to RUclips and type in the words poets of the fall.. Alexander theater sessions. And just watch it. The entire album was filmed in a very old beautiful theater in Helsinki finland. Nobody else is in the building except for the band on the stage. So so beautifully done. 🙏❤️
And Nahko... He is part Puerto Rican I believe perhaps part Hawaiian and I know he is also part native american. His music is very very powerful. His music talks about his struggles and his survival. He utilizes a lot of native American beliefs and culture in his lifestyle and I pray that I can somehow someday find even half of the enlightenment that man has found.
Thank you for reading my ADHD rant. Stay safe out there and God bless. 🙏
@@NortheastSurvival911 I’m 57 (this August) myself, lost my Dad the day after my 8th birthday, he was a Marine in the South Pacific during WWII. I graduated High School in 1983 and went straight into the Army, I remember my Mother saying goodbye and giving me advice the day I was leaving for Basic Training
So this song really hits home for me as well.
@@veteranhoffman6776 I can see why it would. Absolutely. And from one vet to another.. thank you. I don't know what your stories are.. it's not my business. But thank you. Because I know exactly what kind of sacrifice it takes. 🙏🇺🇸
You should see "The Great Chinggis Kahn". Hope I spelled it right. Close attention at the end.
Hye. Can you please react to Ernie Zakri singing Setia Ku Korbankan in Immortal Songs Malaysia. The performance is the latest by her.
Thank you
The difference between Tuvan and Mongolian Throat Singing is Tuvan is in a lower register while Mongolian is in a higher register
Nice job, I thought it was funny knowing it is Mongolian, you kept labeling it Tuvan😅
That was a Jewish harp or mouth harp
Thanks for the info! 🙌
I'd imagine it would be a Mongolian mouth harp 😂
My grandfather played a Jew's Harp (as he called it). Very cool sounding.
Jaw harp, not Jewish lmao.
@@КарлМаркс-ы6й en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jew%27s_harp
can you please make a reaction video to Boerter Band - song Gobi
Hi. Please check more Mongolian musics and songs. Not just khoomei (throat singing) but also long songs too. Plus, throat singing is not actually Tuvan, it is originally Mongolian. Anyways, great and very professional reaction. 2 thumbs up. 👍
Wow
You know, it was almost as if you were learning how to sing as the video went along. As you realised that what you did previously, all you really needed the sounds generation seems more influenced by the echo chamber of your mouth.
Ah well, that was what I got from it 😉 and no, I can't sing...
Pretty much aye!
I have a very basic knowledge of it from wee clips of Mongolian Throat Singing, but to really sit down and analyse a little deeper was a treat!
Except this there’s swan fiddle, snake fiddle and king fiddle too
I think you can do this.
