A CELEBRATION OF WOMEN! || The Hu- Song of Women (Feat. Lzzy Hale) || Metal Vocalist Reactions

[@chriso6719]

Mongolian folk music combined with rock/metal. Combining standard instruments with traditional Mongolian instruments, and the throat singing. The 2 string being played with a bow is called a Morin Khuur , or horsehead fiddle. The 3 string being played like a guitar is a Tovshuur. The Hu sing in Mongolian, Lzzy wrote the English lyrics for this redone version. 4 members , and 4 touring members, and they are awesome live. Saw them open for Halestorm. Gala and Enkush on Morin Khuur and throat singing Jaya - throat singing , Tumuur Hhuur (jaw harp), Tsuur (end blown flute) Temka - Tovshuur Tourin Members: Ono - percussion Jamba- guitar Davaa - bass Odko - drums There are several other songs redone with new English lyrics and guest singers. "Wolf Totem" with Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach), "Yuve Yuve Yu" with Danny Case (From Ashes to New), "This is Mongol" with Wm Duvall (Alice In Chains), and "Black Thunder" with Serj Tankian (system of a Down) and DL from Bad Wolves. They also covered Metallica's "Sad But True" in Mongolian.

And don't forget "Mother Nature ft. LP". An other worldly collaboration.

[@bonnievonbraun6276]

I agree about the mixing. Loved the high background of Lzzy letting loose. You can add "Sugaan Essena" to your list. The Hu contributed this song to the soundtrack of the video game "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order". (And that "whistle" is another sort of throat singing, where a high overtone is used over the lower drone.) Thanks for doing this!

Epic!!! ❤❤❤

[@petercutler7773]

Great summary by Chris below, however not mentioned is their collaboration with LP in "Mother Nature." East meets West again, enjoy !

[@ireeduiganbold3379]

the hu - sugaan essena reaction.?

[@twaited5860]

Thank you for finally highlighting the percussion! Most reviewers don’t. I saw them live and I could feel the thumps on my chest. Also, this is a remake of the Hu’s original, Lzzy wrote all new lyrics. The guy in the light brown jacket is the “whistler” 😀.

8:01 Actually I wouldn’t say Gala is whistling, it’s a type/form of Mongolian throat singing called “Khoomei” I believe, and the Deeper droning is called “Kargyraa”.

[@thisizmonster]

FYI Khoomei (Хөөмий) is very generic name. All throat singing forms included in Khoomei. That high tone called Sygit (Исгэрээ). Deeper form is Kargyraa (Хархираа) yes.

I really like The Hu, great band. Please also check out Lovebites - Liar (live). It's quite different from the first Lovebites song you've heard, but no less impressive and truly showcases their phenomenal musicianship.

[@DelilahMills]

This is a reverent tribute to women-lover, mother, sister, daughter-Lzzy is amazing and the band is phenomenol, truly epic!

[@billholder1330]

He's not whistling. Or rather he is, but he's doing it with overtones of his voice, not with the usual mouth whistling. It's one of the less-heard aspects of throat singing - multiple concurrent notes at once including those high whistling overtones, that happen up in the sinuses apparently.

[@joannburnham3992]

The high sound is not whistling…. It is throat singing

[@mongolakademik9844]

it is not whistling, another type of overtone singing, calling it that quite diminishes the art.

[@jacquisampson-marat5277]

Sort of what you were hearing there were overtones.....a couple of the guys are really good at it.

[@zeejay4183]

Touched my soul… 🥰❤

[@HelynnHeels]

These men are the absolute epitome of non-toxic masculinity. 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@denize7139]

They have a fun video series call “Hu’s in the kitchen” where they cook for each other while on tour.

[@HelynnHeels]

@@denize7139 I have been watching. I love those guys.

[@veteranhoffman6776]

8:19 that instrument is a Morin Khuur (Horsehead Fiddle). When traditionally made, the 2 “strings” are made from the tail hairs of the player’s own horse, to bind instrument to player. The “male” (thicker) string has 150 hairs, the “female” (thinner) string has 130 hairs, and the bow is held in the “german” style. I’ve looked up Morin Khuurs for sale, they range from $400 usd to over $4,000.00 usd, so they aren’t cheap if you’re thinking of buying one like I am.
