That hoarse kind of throat-singing is called "Kargyra" Then there is the husky-sounding Khomei-style, and the overtone-almost-whistling style is called Sygyt.
Thank you for this one! ❤️
There’s nothing worse than people of separate cultures explaining other cultures. Uggg your the worse kind
@@annavaskelainen If you're interested in more, look for the short film "Genghis Blues" in which a blind American blues player goes to Tuva to learn kargyra from a master. The American sings in bass register, so when he gains facility with throatsinging he gets nicknamed "earthquake".
My favorite thing about this song is that the words were written by Genghis Khan as a poem and it was actually used as a war chant by the Golden Horde a few decades later. The Hu just "modernized" it into a modern day "war chant" via metal lol
👉The Hu: The band was founded in 2016. The syllable Hu in the band name is the Mongolian root for the word human. The band name roughly translates as 'the people'. The band's logo shows a snow leopard. The band chose this animal because of its mythical significance. Among other things, it is said to be a symbolic animal for ancient Mongolian tribes. The four members of the band, Gala (Singer), Jaya (Singer), Enkush (Mongolian horse head violin, Undertone singing) and Temka (Mongolian Gitarre), all have degrees in music from the Mongolian State Conservatory. Jaya teaches there under his real name G. Nyamjantsan.
The Hu call their style of music Hunnu Rock. They use traditional Mongolian musical instruments such as the horse head violin, the Mongolian guitar and also employ traditional Mongolian undertone singing. From the field of heavy metal they mainly borrow the hammering basses for their music. (www) 🌼🇩🇪
Great information! Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you for some of that background. Love them.
Shireg Shireg.... Had me in tears 15 seconds into the first verse. And I don't speak Mongolian. Here in New Hampshire in the United States.. I speak English I know one song in French. And I'm learning every one of their songs to the best of my ability right now. Their music just goes to show that.. music isn't fact a universal language you don't need to understand what it is they're saying word for word... There are some people out there that can produce music and even though you can't understand what it is they're saying you can feel what they're saying. In this particular group is one of them. One of very few. These guys are nothing short of absolutely phenomenal.
I didn't expect you to just bust out throat singing. I know you're a vocal coach. But it was still crazy impressive. Love your channel!
Aww hahah I am mainly just doing polyphonic overtone singing here, which is nearest to throat singing I know. 😊
Thank you for your message! xx
Omg, I love your facial expressions as you listen! You hear the primal beat and growl and it shows in your pretty face! Very awesome!!
Oh! This is just a fantastic song, I love the Hu. Glad you found them Anna. The Hu and Lzzy Hale from Halestorm collaborated on a song called, Song Of Women. You will be touched, the Hu contacted Lzzy to write English lryics to an existing song of theirs and made a video together. Lzzy lots of distortion, (Hint. HINT). The Hu throat singing with whistle tones. Absolutely breath taking. Did I peak your interest? Anna, your knowledge of vocal techniques are impressive, I just shake my head, again Anna, masterful job in relaying vocal techniques. Good day to You and Yours ,God Bless.
I second "Song of Women".
@@millerbeer01 I wholeheartedly agree! The Song of women, is the most female empowering song (Especially from an all male band) that I have ever heard.
Great song for sure
👍😎❤🙏
The Hu are amazing ! They just appeared Wednesday night in Lubbock, Texas with Volbeat.
Amazing as always. I love how genuine you always are and how excited you get for new music/bands/etc. Never lose that passion!!!
What a sweet little message, thank you Bryan! xx
I've started my Finnish course on duolingo few weeks ago and can finally say that I'm able to distinguish separate words while listening to native speakers like yourself! That's so cool that you're doing these videos in Finnish. Please don't stop. You're the coolest Finnish native speaker on the entire interwebs. Kiitos paljon!
😄Mayby finish goverment should hire Anna as an "Finnish Ambassador in music", to make Finland more known in the (music) world. This is a new innovation as an export product!! 😄😝 Good luck to your studies. Tsemppiä opintoihin!
Yay! Maybe write me in Finnish next time then? 😊😊 I'm glad you find my channel helpful with your Finnish studies!
You have an excellent growl! I think two of the instruments were: Morin Khuur & Tovshuur.
Yes- the bowed instrument that looks and sounds like a tagelharpa/jouhikko is a morin khuur, the national instrument of Mongolia.
This was a fantastic surprise. What an interesting band. I particularly love esoteric and they really fit the bill. Well done Anna, Kiitos.
Just imagine how wild it will be when a horde of Vikings and horde of Khan's Warriors visited your house to organize a party raid.
Long story short, I’m going to see the band that was in the game trailer on Friday. Thanks for showing it!
You had wondered if there was a second voice harmonizing with the overtones at one point. Yes, there is. There is a man with long hair out front with the others, but not playing any instrument. He is one of the two primary vocalists with The Hu.
Hello beautiful Anna!Cool band!Great reaction, dear!Thanks.🌹👏🥰🇷🇺
I wish I could understand you. Beautiful voice, beautiful language!
I can still tell from your reaction where your emotions were "probably" at. Throat singing is cool and I do it around my house to mess with my kid. 😁🤘
Hi! Love your comment! 😊Did you turn the subs on? Hope this helps! xx
@@annavaskelainen I did, and they seemed to translate you quite well :)
Anna's wolf howl was great. 😄👍 Best part.🌟🌟🌟🌟
:D
This group of young men are amazing they have toured the world and spread their music .. they have collaboration with a lady singer I think her name is Lizzie Hale the song is Women or something like that .. they also have covered some classic Metallica .. I really love their sound and approach to music
I have watched several reactions to this song and I feel you did the best job of this. Thank you for what you do.
🥰
I was amazed at "The Hu" the first time I heard them a couple of years ago. For one a heavy metal group from Mongolia and the love Harley Davidson too. The production value is the best for any top groups you would see but they are from Mongolia lol.....
The other group that surprised me is BandMaid from Japan, Those girls will blow your mind!
Hope all is well
Be safe Patrick from Florida
Thank you for the amazing content yet again. I enjoyed that song quite a lot, as well as your analysis
Anna has said that her reactions are her “goofing around”
But we see it is done with skill, intent and artistry
The Hu appear to be doing the Mongolian version of “goofing around”
❤️
I absolutely love those instruments, especially the percussion....so tribal. Yeah baby !! Great reaction Anna. By the way, the instruments that they are playing are (horsehead fiddle, Mongolian guitar and jaw harp).
every day is a school day! Thank you David! xx
[I am so jealous of these band members as you imagine yourself living with them the lifestyle portrayed in this performance: your own Harley: the title of musical genii: medicine woman of song ... ]
Kudos Anna for taking on this fascinatingly unique analysis project. And for knocking it out the park! Throat singing successfully! Seriously? Wow. 👌👍💛💛💯💫🇨🇦
Just started on your back catalogue..a brilliant and enlightening reaction thank you Anna
🥰
как монголы, ощущаем к вам родственно-сентиментальные чувства)
😊
A great reaction and analysis, Anna!!! Awesome to hear something complete new and different... Very good choice!!!
What a reaction! Thank you so much for your interest in our music and culture. You are also very talented!
Keep going! Love from Boston.
😊😊🙏
My first thought after this ended...
What would it be like if Diana, Dimash and HU did something together...I am hearing something forming in my head. I wish I could write or produce music.
It was Great to watch this and your reaction/review, Anna
Moi, Anna :)
I've loved these guys for about two years. They are really different from anything the West has to offer. The only barrier I see is the lack of interviews in English.
Some other acts like this that you might like:
1. OTYKEN (Siberia): Very tribal sounding folk music with traditional instruments and young female vocals. Their people's main source of income is beekeeping, but they branched out into music.
2. Nini Music (China or Singapore, I believe): very talented young lady who uses traditional and adapted instruments to play her own work and Cove rock classics.
3. Voice of Baceprot (East Java/Indonesia): Three young Muslim women who have been under death threat in their own country for playing loud covers of Metallic a and Rage Against the Machine, as well as their own very vocal protest music. Tom More loo from RATM brought them to America to get a recording deal. They play their music in traditional Muslim dress, including headscarves, but they don't cover their faces. That makes them a target.
Thank you for the reaction here.
Moi moi :)
Metal works with everything.
Я ни хрена не понимаю по монгольски и по скандинавски, но песни the hu офигенные, внутри аж всё вибрирует!
I agree! You can turn the english subs on and then click "auto-translate to Russian". Hope this helps!
Excellent Anna as, usual, thorough discussion. Always a joy to watch.
Two more I love that you might find interesting are The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu [LIVE @ SiriusXM Studios] with Danny Case from Ashes to New, and
The Hu - Shireg Shireg [LIVE @ SiriusXM]
Nice reaction!!! Thank you very much for the reaction to one of my fav bands of 2020)
My pleasure!!
Always fun just to watch you get interested, Annikoutsi! You can make anything interesting. No moi!
Thank you Len! 😊
To be honest, I didn't care much for this the first time I heard it, but it has grown on me. Thank you for taking us along. ;-)
A New Zealand Haka opposite them would be so fitting :)
Hungarians and Mongloians are brothers! Greetings from HUngary!
Love the Hu, this song is pretty straight foreward but theyt have more complex songs as well. Also, check the Maori metal band ALIEN WEAPONRY - Kai Tangata!
Mongols and Maori have the same ancestors who diverged in ancient times
All 4 of the singers do throat singing. Great sou d!
I love how the pitch of the bow at the end shifts to the same tone from the falcon...cool.
Me too!! I was thinking about that but didn't say it out loud!
A very good reaction to a very cool song. love the detail of mouth, lip, tongue position and so forth.
Nice Fang display in the thumbnail Anna! You are a savage!
😂 hahahahh
This is why the most horrifying words between 1200 to 1400 AD was, " Oh look, a pony".
hahahahaha 😂😂
Even the tiniest pony could have a blazing fire for will. Also the term pony was made by westerners which are naturally taller than eastern people. They are all herose in the end. Quite the legendary feet has these ponies has achieved compared to their size and other horse
Love your reaction, as always :-) greetings from Germany to Suomi. Your example of throat singing was pretty impressive, like your vocal fry is. Thorsten
Thank you for your comment Thorsten! Greetings to Germany! 😊
I already knew about throat singing from a man named Omar who’s a Tuvan throat singer.
Always subscribing to people who can not only pick apart and analyze music, but the way you feel the music, i love it. SUBSCRIBED!
Welcome to the gang, your support is MUCH appreciated! 😊❤️
From my understanding- and I am by no means an expert!- the deeper throat singing technique (I believe what's being employed here is called khoomei) is actually fairly close to subharmonic techniques. I learned about those from Geoff Castellucci, the bass singer for the a cappella band VoicePlay who employs this technique with great skill. He also has a few instructional videos on how to perform this- basically, the gist is to sing a fundamental note but allow your voice to drop into vocal fry until the ventricular (false) folds are vibrating at precisely half the speed as the vocal cords. This produces a note one octave deeper than the fundamental sung note. Geoff has used this technique to (most recently) extend his range down to an astonishing B0! With the Hu, I've heard different kinds of throat singing employed- khoomei, kargyraa, and sygyt, which is basically the overtone technique you were demonstrating. I don't know if you noticed at the time, but sygyt throat singing was actually being used in the intro to this music video.
(And I started typing this while I was still listening to your reaction. Toward the end, you mention doubled vocals, or layers fooling your ears, and what I suspect you were hearing was when Jaya (or possibly Enkush, but it sounds like Jaya) chimed in on the final verse along with Gala, the lead singer here. Jaya has a higher tone than Gala, and I've noticed that they tend to do octave harmonies- more Gregorian, almost- rather than the more western harmonies in thirds and whatnot. I'm probably explaining myself poorly; my knowledge of music theory is just enough to get me in trouble, as it's often outstripped by my enthusiasm!
Thank you sister. You rock.
🥰
I absolutely am impressed with your knowledge 100% better than 40+ others from our planet fan for life!!!!
I saw them perform in Dallas, Texas as the headline act and they were amazing in person!!!! I will see them again!!
Saw em in Houston, when thr " Hu" chant came up, the house of blues was rocking, thank yall for singing with me
Every time I see this video I get more out of it and like it more.
seen these live last month in the UK Manchester, absolutely killed it, the whole crowd was just 'singing' the tunes, amazing live band and such a great vibe in the audience
Other people may have mentioned it, but The Hu featuring Lzzy Hale, "Song of Woman" is insanely good. I hope you check it out. Thanks for the reaction.
Dzchingis Khan and Kublai Khan are thrilled in advance and awaiting full of excitement to watch your comments ..... OAaaarrggh 👿🤬💀. Anna, good luck 🤞👀💪👍!
Hahahah oh Rob
I like your language like you like our national music, with love from Mongolia to Suomi ❤
Very tribal and fierce yet elegant in its own way. Been listening to them about 6 months, love it. Love this channel, keep it up.
Came to your channel and subscribed 😀 You are very authentic. And there is a full circle, don’t you think: from the Mongolian planes through Ural to the Suomi ! and yes you noted the similarities: throat singing techniques and all. Amazing isn’t?!
Welcome to the gang, happy to have you with me! 😊 Hmmm interesting though indeed!
Hi, Anna. Diana Ankudinova performed the cover of Can't Help Falling In Love that blew everybody's mind. Thought maybe you'd like to know. 😀
You are the only Vocal Coach reactor I have ever heard attempt Mongolian Throat Singing, why does that not surprise me at all. Great reaction and breakdown as always. 🤘
😂❤️
So nice reaction, love it :). Yes this is very repetitive but instrumental part make a variations during song. It is very interesting music and band. They have more interesting songs.
If you ever have the chance, see them live. Much more intense than the video.
next HU reaction girl!
Wonderful reaction ❤
Throat singing is always mesmerizing.
Beautiful reaction, thank you!
Love throat singing and you are one amazing lady. Many good blessings to you.
Thank you for your message James! Be well! xx
11:54 that which you are doing, is what I did too when trying to do that kind of throat singing a while ago, when I listened to someone else and thought that was subharmonic singing which Voice Play bass singer does.
And I happen to make sounds that are similar to these throat singers’ sound. It’s just that you need to add a nasal buzz to that ‘woahs’ that you are doing (felt like vocal fry but I was channelling the sound a bit through my nose, works well if you just hum and find out the buzz that works. It’s like vocal frying with nose)......
Subharmonic singing lessons on youtube might also help on understanding what this particular sound is.......... I really just figured it out recently and I can’t do it on command. But just sharing with you if you wish to get an idea on the technique. 😊😊
I am well aware that I am not doing it correctly hahah! This is a great comment for someone who wishes to venture into the throat singing world more.
My strong points are in the musical theater, jazz, blues, rock, pop, r'n'b, etc. 😊
@@annavaskelainen ha ha 😜😅yeah you are right. Anyways love your content and reaction-analysis videos, keep us viewers busy 😁😊
Now i can react on your video girl !! its in englsh text !!.. i love your reaction !!.. Its like mi antsesters.. my sami family :)
Your reaction and how you listen and hear the different tones and parts is really nice! You are the only one of the Vocal Coaches I have watched, who get most of the details. You should be proud of yourself and if I should choose a Vocal Coach, I would sure pick you over the rest of the lot! Well done! 👍😎❤🙏
Awwwee I'm glad you think I pick up enough of things! Because I do my videos on one take, I always feel like I'm missing tons.Then again, this is not meant to be a vocal lesson but just my initial reaction with some analysis and details. 😊❤️
@@annavaskelainen - Thnx for your reply. ❤🙏 I know it's not a vocal lesson, I am not the average Joe! ;) -------- I will provide you with some info, to deepen your understanding a bit. Hope it works ;) ------- It's not about going to war! - It is; Don't mess with us, then we obliterate you!. - There are many layers to it though, as the Protector, the Garuda is involved also. - It's very old and it have both old culture and deep roots into Buddhism also. ----- You will get it totally wrong if your fundamental view is either of the two extremes: If your view is towards eternalism, you are totally wrong. If your view is towards nihilism, you are even more wrong. - Not only do you have to wrap your head around what Buddhism really is about, you also need to know some history from that time. The whole Khan history and certainly not the way Khan is portrait in the western history books. ----- One line in the song give a very important clue: If you come with bad intention, we will obliterate you and together with the rest, it also states that, no matter how the enemy appear, it will be met by the correct antidote. - Genghis Khan was not the only Khan. Some of them had a very close and strong relations with some of the greatest Buddhist masters at that time. - The average Joe have no clue about what the text is about. Even a beginner on the Buddhist path like me, who have studied and practiced for 25 years, still have long way to go, before really getting all the details right. - It is so much more deep and profound than you can imagine. - ------------ Together with many of the other comments, I hope you get a feel, that this is so much more than you can understand. I will actually say; It is a great blessing that you even get to hear it! But it takes a razor sharp mind and very openminded person, to get that understanding. - Glad you liked and enjoyed it though! Please take good care of you, have fun and enjoy, and please keep bright, listen well and clever, so you don't end up like most other Vocalists who make reaction videos ;) 😎❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
When they visit Finland go meet Them, best band ever imo and best reaction of the hu i have seen yet great stuff😘

Hey Hun, as in 'Honey' - get the pun? Anyhoo love your reaction to The Hu, yes it has a Primal Chant feel that captures the attention of all ears. Beautiful, inspiring & extremely talented are The Hu & so are You. warmest regards from the land down under. Brenton xox
I love this song and your reaction. Imagine you are a princess being escorted across the steppes.... Would you want any other crew than this escorting you? Hearts of wolves...........
very interesting thought Rei!
Hi Anna. Sorry i'm late on parade again! You are "GORGIOUSE!". Sorry did i say that out loud???..Ha!. How i wish i was younger. Greetings from Yorkshire England. take care. John.x
Yep. Song Of Women should be next. (Collab with Lzzy Hale)
first time i got past the "ei saa piätä" about finnish.. .solid reaction !!
😂
Thank you for subtitles. I was gonna try and learn Finninsh
LOVED YOUR REACTION TO THIS! Subscribed immediately. :)
THANK YOU for your support! It is much appreciated. ❤️ xx
Their song Yuve,Yuve,Yu is another banger they have another version of "WOLF TOTEM with Jacobe Shaddox of "PAPA ROACH" it's a MUST SEE
Considering he was an inspiration to Nightwish, how come nobody has dragged her into the Ayreon rabbithole yet? 😀️
It's a bit more into the progressive symphonic rock opera realm with many featured artists and singers from the metal scene.
Progressive, but still easy listening. Never goes completely off the rails and digestible by most with an interest in music.
"Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down" music video from "The Source" (album) tend to be the introduction for most reactors,
followed by a bunch of songs from Ayreon - Universe (live). Complex and dynamic riffs as expected from prog, but not overly so.
Absolutely love The Hu. Still disappointed something messed up and I couldn't go see them in Oslo. They was the main event for me.
Edit: There is more from The Hu of course, incl some interesting collabs and covers.
Alternative? Not rock, but more world folk stuff, check out Daiqing Tana also easy listening (I prefer albums over live),
Mongolian and features some throat singing in some.Not sure it's something that would draw a reaction audience,
but dammit do I love her voice (she's not throat singing). And I'm usually more into technical music 😂
Haha, i have requested Ayreon about two months ago, and i'm not the only one. It's coming in 2027. Patience, my friend, patiece. 😜👍
@@pekkakarppinen1608 😜
Horse head fiddle. Not sure what the bow and arrow shaped guitar is called.
Check out their cover of Sad but True.
first time i listen to someone speaking in finnish, it's so nice to hear, nice video btw
Thanks Vic! 😊
Some good observations here!
coach, your explanation is awesome: Cool
Thx Timmy!
I love your reaction, good sense of culture and i love the finnish and mongol languages so much💙
❤️🙏
This song is great. 😊 Their collaboration with Lzzy Hale is really good too.
Love your videos! Something that would be fun is seeing your reactions to Heilung's In Maidjan. Thanks 😊
Oon samoilla linjoilla kanssasi, Anna.
Laulutyyli muistuttaa shamaani-laulamista, mutta myös saamelaisia lauluja. Tässä näemmekin esimerkin siitä, että kuinka kansoja yhdistävä elementti, musiikki oikeastaan onkaan.
Ihania, syvällisiä pohdintoja Andreilta jälleen!
Tsekkaa Geoff Castellucci. Sixteen tons, Far over theOver Misty Mountains Gold ja/tai uusinpana Monster Mash. Bassolaulaja, sovittaja joka omissa videoissaan laulaa kaikki osiot.
The sound when it is like a horse neighing just makes me relax every time. Idk y
Holah.!!! Anna,.!!! 👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭💖💝💗🌷🌹🌺
Loving your reactions Anna. Also it's been 3 months since Vortex. Could we have another Jinjer video please ?
Don't understand neither mongolian nor finnish. But love both The HU and Anna 😃
Hahahahh aww you. Did click the cc button so you could have the Engl. subs?
@@annavaskelainen Oh, thanks, I'm so stupid. Now I'm watching it again. And maybe couple times more:)
Let's get down to business on that that Mulan reference 😉 Nicely sung, by the way.
All 4 of the front men for the band can throat sing.
I think you'd also enjoy listening to some traditional Mongolian musicians such as Batzorig Vaanchig who has a CZcams channel and another CZcams channel ZJE with a family of the youths who also throat sing.
Yup, you got it! 😉
Thank you for your suggestions Aaron!
There are parts in their song I can imagine similar to Nordic European ancient songs. Maybe shamanic style itself.
thank you the hu essena sussan
one word describes this: "PRIMAL" and i love it
well said there!
