This song is about Manchu's (Qin dynasty) massacre in Oirad (west Mongolian tribe, Oi-Ard means Forest Folks) territory. Very sad, memorial song indeed, and had been forbidden to sing long time. Still some olds gets angry when someone sing this song. Meantime, Oirad was very big force of Mongolia, was fighting against Manchu (current China). Because of internal misunderstood, Mongolia divided into 2 forces (Oirad and Khalkha) and fought each others. In the end, Oirad's main force Dzungar, decided defend Khalkha land, said their very last famous word "Халх үгүй бол Монгол үгүй", means "If Khalkha is no more, then Mongolia is no more". Then they shifted all their forces to Khalkha land and did their last defense, and overwhelmed by Manchu in the end. Historians say almost all of their population (~80%) was lost, when you travel hundreds of km land in Oirad, you only see barrens, not even living one. Lyric goes like some Oirad man return back to his land after massacre, then wonders where everyone are gone. You can say, thanks to Oirad force sacrifice, Khalkha Mongol still exists. Just imagine you are just normal soldier from Oirad force, then your generals decide move to Khalkha land to defend them (who was your enemy meantime), then you leave your home land, your parents, your wife, your kids to obvious death without protector, to march into your death in Khalkha land. Just immersive unimaginable sad and brave decision for bigger picture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oirats Also this folk song, originated from Tuvan, have been around like some hundreds years, so in every Mongolian tribe, it have some different names, modified lyric etc. Khalkha Mongol (current biggest, and main one) name is Sixty white horses, also Khongor ur min (My dear son). In west Mongolia Tuva (current Oirad land) they know it by name Kongurei (translates to Khongor ur = Dear son). Many artists already sung this song. Personally I love Bukhu Ganburged's version here ruclips.net/video/0yqjg8In58g/видео.html *Lyric in cyrillic Mongolian:* Жаран цагаан адууны минь Алаг нь хаана байна ах нар минь Зургаан хошуу нутгийн минь Цэрэг нь хаана байна эгч нар минь Арван цагаан адууны минь Алаг нь хаана байна ах нар минь Арван хошуу нутгийн минь Ард нь хаана байна эгч нар минь Далан цагаан адууны минь Ардаг нь хаана байна ах нар минь Долоон хошуу нутгийн минь Цэрэг нь хаана байна эгч нар минь *Lyric in Latin letters:* Žaran cagaan aduuny minʹ Alag nʹ haana bajna ah nar minʹ Zurgaan hošuu nutgijn minʹ Cèrèg nʹ haana bajna ègč nar minʹ Arvan cagaan aduuny minʹ Alag nʹ haana bajna ah nar minʹ Arvan hošuu nutgijn minʹ Ard nʹ haana bajna ègč nar minʹ Dalan cagaan aduuny minʹ Ardag nʹ haana bajna ah nar minʹ Doloon hošuu nutgijn minʹ Cèrèg nʹ haana bajna ègč nar minʹ *Translation:* Among my sixty white horses Where is the checked one, my brothers?

@@fire_lord862 Western and Mongolian writing is quite different. It's just how we write them, so habit did that. Also we write Manji, but not Manchu. But if I used Manji you can't understand.
@@fire_lord862 Umm, I wasn't aware of there was another "real" Qin dynasty. Thought they were same country, but different calling name. You have good point then. I'll be careful next time :)
Your devotion to culture, history, and love and respect for your ancestors is truly inspiring. We are the torch that carries on their legacy. With every last breath we will continue their stories and hold their memory in our hearts. 🙏
There is a flute, the guy all the way on the left is playing it. He puts it down after to switch to drums. I was confused at first too, their intonation is impressive
I'm American, but I adore music from all around the Globe and often explore many varieties here on RUclips. Classical and folk music being my favorites. I was lucky enough to stumble across this (thank the Algorithm Gods) and I have cherished it since. I've never heard anything else quite like it, alluring, almost as if a Siren sings it, yet haunting, but somehow it is full of hope and love as well. Calls home, to say the least. ❣️💫
Heard this song a year or two performed by some other throat singers. Only song on my phone with Cyrillic characters. Loved hearing Batzorig's version here.
@@bartneusaap hard to say as two people have been under the same Khans since the time of Genghis Khan. both have stories behind the song. the Mongol version says that this song was sang by the Oirads after the conquest and genocide of the Oirad Mongols by the Manchus in 18th century.
@@bartneusaap It is song singing about Dzungar genocide by Manchu. 800.000 Dzungar Mongols were killed. Very sad song. Some Mongols still don’t like to hear this song. Tuvans better get educate themselves.
@Utsuhoagie Because It is sad a song. It is about Dzungar Genocide. Manchu killed 600.000 Dzungar Mongols. The lyrics didn't say a word Genocide or in this matter, but it is singing about empty land, horses without owners, and saying where is the people, where the people. 😞
He does sing some as a soloist and in collaboration like with his daughter but he is also in the band Khusugtun and has always been an integral part of the band
Can I just say, Khusugtun's latest album is shockingly good - like, better than I thought it was going to be - and I thought it was going to be awesome to begin with.
That was so beautiful. I love the Horsehead fiddle. I was just watching Batzorig's incredible performance in Maro Polo, again. ❤🧡💛Batzorig Vaanchig 🎶 🎵
I do not know the culture,the language, or any of it, but I love the beautiful sound and the skill of the musicians and singers. I am an old, white American from the Midwest and the only thing that can sing like the man next to Batzorig are Elk and we call them "bugling" when they get that overtone to their call for females. Just an incredible add to the overall sound of things. I stumbled on "throat singing" many years ago and it fascinates me. I wish I could know the language so I could know the meaning but I am just thankful to hear the beauty and simplicity of these instruments and the musicians and singers. Thank you for all that you do. I am in wonder of the power that can be made with an instrument that only has two strings. Just makes me thankful to be alive to hear this.
Music that calms the heart and takes the soul on a journey through landscapes. Sorry to have missed this tour! Hope you will visit europe again soon (:

Comment of the year right here
Batzorig’s non-throat singing voice is actually so beautiful
His normal voice is so good too!
Your devotion to culture, history, and love and respect for your ancestors is truly inspiring. We are the torch that carries on their legacy. With every last breath we will continue their stories and hold their memory in our hearts. 🙏
Agreed. He more or less embodies the idea of traditionalism and carrying your families will. Unfortunately it has become a rare action amongst men.
@@chriskatz2355 The thing is, it's not just a man's responsibility, also women pass down traditions and keep ancestral memories alive
@@silgoedhart5506 men is used as the term mankind in this phrase 😑 humanity is often described as "men" in literary sense
Yes it's imperitive that people pass on their ancestor's constructive teachings, otherwise mankind will die.
Well said 👏
The myth, the man, the legend...
…And his based dnd party.
You can _feel_ the spirits of the fallen singing alongside them. It's ethereal...
Im from indonesia, and love this song. So much sadness and empthy , tears.. respect
Omg. Her voice sounds like a flute. Beautiful 😍
I was thinking the same thing. I thought it was an instrument and then I saw she was singing
There is a flute, the guy all the way on the left is playing it. He puts it down after to switch to drums. I was confused at first too, their intonation is impressive
@@jomama9573 then her voice and the guy’s flute harmonise so well that they seem like the same thing.
Impressive.
I want to experience his Live performance one day.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard in my life

Very beautiful… it reminds me of Ondar’s “Where Has My Country Gone?”, pretty similar and very beautiful melodies. Bless.
It is the same melody, as far as I know the Tuvan song is the original

I've been a fan for years but... This is unbelievably good; pure talent and skill combined harmoniously
Wow I remember when you were alone when singing. Now you have a whole crew!
He does sing some as a soloist and in collaboration like with his daughter but he is also in the band Khusugtun and has always been an integral part of the band
We’ve been blessed!
All of this music and learning about Mongolian history and culture on the internet has definitely pushed me to go there one day.
Can I just say, Khusugtun's latest album is shockingly good - like, better than I thought it was going to be - and I thought it was going to be awesome to begin with.
Jangar is the perfect album for an hour long drive.
How come the throat singing is so epic, and the regular singing voice is so sweet. There's a world standing between the two.
Legend posted again
I have been waiting so long for him to sing "Konguroi" or "Jaran Zagaan Aduu", however you may call it. Its beautiful either way!!!
Beautiful, thank you for bringing a part of this amazing culture to many of us who wouldn't have been exposed to it without you
Wow I love that lady's voice amazing
That was so beautiful. I love the Horsehead fiddle. I was just watching Batzorig's incredible performance in Maro Polo, again.

Great cover of the classic Tuvan song Kongurei
Sorry, it is not a cover actually. Many folk songs belongs to both nation, like Samgaldai.
Sublime ❤❤❤
Good song batzorig🇲🇳😀

Esta se llama Kongurei, creo que en otros videos hay gente poniendo las letras en los comentarios

Real Soul Music.
Beautiful story there.
Моя любимая
Hi 👋 khusugtun. Nice to meet you
I don't understand a lick of what he's saying but it sounds very good
Originally it is "Kongurei" Tuvan Folk Song
Greetings from Turkey BENİM GÜZEL KARDEŞLERİM
thanks you
We missed you!
I knew Ít

I need to take mushrooms and listen to this.
KHUSUGTUN IS BACK!!
Outstanding. This is heavenly. Will there be a secret sideshow like this in Melbourne? PBS or 3DDD would definitely be interested.
Batzorig Kagan!
Way to go superstar, your performance was perfect tonight. 🇨🇳❤️🇲🇳
