American's First Time Reaction to "Sugaan Essena" by The HU

[@jaygonzales7198]

THE FORCE IS STRONG HERE

[@DesertFox010]

Yes! I love The HU!

[@eatenbyghouls1849]

The instrument (cello you called it) is a horse head fiddle (or morin khuur) it's a traditional Mongolian instrument Traditionally the strings were actually made from horse hair, I'm not sure if the one he is using is. The noise is meant to sound like a horse neighing

[@chriso6719]

Most of their songs are sung in their native Mongolian. This one , however, uses a language created just for STAR WARS. The song is also called Black Thunder and was made for the movies. They are outstanding live. I saw them open for Halestorm last fall. There are 8 of them. 4 regulars and 4 touring musicians. 3 of their songs have been redone with new English lyrics and guest vocalists. Wolf Totem with Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach) Yuve Yuve Yu with Danny Case (From Ashes to New) Song of Women with Lzzy Hale (Halestorm) They use traditional Mongolian instruments along with the standard guitar ,bass, and drums, and they combine their folk music with metal using traditional throat singing.

You are correct on everything, such informations. But little bit mistake, Black Thunder never made for movie. Also I doubt on Danny Case ft, it never released officialy.

Мне нравится больше на монгольском

It's kind of refreshing to see first reaction to The Hu that isn't Wolf Totem

[@danielberger1378]

"Yuve Yuve Yu" and "Wolf Totem" are two great original songs by them. And they also did an outstanding cover of Metallica's "Sad but true". All of the above worth checking out (among others of course, but these would be my suggestions) :-)

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks for the info!

[@marinamucic908]

I totally agree with all of the above. These guys are great!

[@ThePixelicious89]

love their track with lzzy hale called song of women

[@annkanyr3024]

The war song comment was very appropriate. Wolf Totem will fit that and it does have subtitles. Great reaction! Thank you!

[@FamousGirlfriend]

I. LOVE. THIS. Never heard of them, but their metal style is awesome. Nice commentary, I thought I heard something resembling the music in those old Western movies. Must be the violin instruments. Sometimes it sounded very Russian. Looking forward to hearing some more The Hu!!

[@TouchyReactions]

Me too. This was a pleasant surprise.

[@SSIronHeart]

Not Russian. Mongolian. This is (excluding the electric instruments) what Ghengis Khan would have listened to when he decimated the Roman Empire, And had his Horde kill 14% of the world's population.

[@debi5123]

Touchy Reactions and Anechka. Definitely look for mire Hu. Wolf Totem, Yuve Yuve Yue and their cover of Sad But True should be your first listen

[@Zozette27]

The instruments are modernised versions of traditional instruments. The instruments played with the bow are Morin Khuur (horse head fiddles). They only have two strings and the female strings was originally made from 105 hairs from a mare’s tail, the male string was made from 130 hairs from a stallion’s tail. The other traditional string instrument is the tovshuur which can have 2 or 3 strings, the one being played here by Temka has three strings. All the members of the band are classically trained at the Conservatory of Music in UlaanBataar and they can play multiple instruments.

[@williammoring9676]

Awesome songs

[@elisifuentes6551]

Always fun watching reactors listen to The Hu for the very first time. Super awesome band from the mongolian grasslands worth getting more recognition. I hope that they come to a place in my part of the world soon. They make awesome MVs too.

[@benpurcell4935]

The Hu did a collaboration with Lizzy Hale from Halestorm called Song of Women. It’s a cool song.

[@makukawakami]

their music makes me wanna put on armor and ride through the steppes. i don't even own a horse

[@TouchyReactions]

Right

[@metalsteel5631]

this should definitely be part of a coors light commercial.

[@yashindane2844]

It's called throat singing

[@TouchyReactions]

Very cool

They would be an opening act for Sabaton European tour in 2022, im not sure if they will still do the opening after it was moved to 2023. I definitely hope so, because I really want to see them live.

[@philiphalpin1997]

I hope they are still the support band for the 2023 rescheduled European tour, not fussed about Lordi though.

[@bilegthuunarantugs2056]

thats thing is morin khuur mongolian instrument if its translate to english it means horse headled music it’s only in mongolia madrid by horse tail

[@TerrieLReed]

Thank you Sir

[@TouchyReactions]

Most welcome

[@KorAsek453]

This song was not "found" by the production team, it was written specifically for the game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and uses a fictional language created just for this song. That's why you see a lightsaber in the opening of this video, it's a replica of the lightsaber you start with in the game.

[@gordowg1wg145]

yup, they're good, aren't they 😎

[@TerrieLReed]

I think that the Hu are extremely talented and thought history Mongol had inspired strength. The instrumental and vocal seems to reach ones very being a call to rise in Wisdom and strength for individual self and thankfully they share that with America! Rock on Gentlemen and Thank you. Outstanding! Exactly

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks Terrie

[@sabrinaevans8746]

Find the documentary Ghengus Blues with Paul Peña. It’s not very well made but it’s our first documented introduction to Tuvan throat singing

[@bilguunbilguun7859]

Morin Khuur.. Welcome Mongolia

[@darrinterrazas7774]

I had the pleasure of working a concert in August where they opened for Megadeth. It was truly an awesome night. Hopefully you check out more songs such as, Wolf Totem, Woman's Song, and their cover of Sad But True by Metallica. Keep up the great work! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@TouchyReactions]

Next time!

[@starhawk4855]

Mongolian yes

[@godzilla9619]

DO WOLF TOTEM AND SAD BUT TRUE BOTH BY THE HU

[@TouchyReactions]

they are on my list

[@godzilla9619]

@@TouchyReactions YES THANK YOU

[@tracybadciong8957]

The words to this song sugaan essena are actually not Mongolian it's a made up language for the game, the Mongolian song like this is black thunder it's awesome!! The great chinggus khaan, wolf totem, and yuvy yuvy yu are songs you can listen to with captions, oh the morin khuurs have nothing inside them they only hook them up to in hance the sound.

[@BergXX23]

I only just discovered this song after playing Jedi: Fallen Order, heard the beat pop off during a gladiator arena mission and had to look it up lol

[@sabrinaevans8746]

Shireg Shireg next

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank you

[@michaelg6932]

OK, what really happened here. I read an article on this particular song. Yes by the profile im a star wars guru. Anyways, a representative from Lucas arts/film came to see this band and gave them a script to perform. The Hu told the fellow that he needs time to translate it into his language so everyone understands the composure. He also said that he would most likely need to make some tweeks here and there. The representative said it's understandable what you request and said have at it. The Hu set up a meeting to have the representative hear them do a live recording. As they played he was blown away and called his boss said listen and this is what we got in the game. The first recording. EPIC

[@TouchyReactions]

Sweet

[@mskytube]

The original song was sung in Mongolian. They overwrote the song in a made-up language just for the video game.

[@mbsil5331]

😍

[@joeviolette5823]

I love The Hu. It's great Mongolian metal. Here's a great song I recommend kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGXbi4ioZad4nKc

[@joeviolette5823]

Also put the captions on that link i posted above and it will translate it

[@thebrewingsailor9172]

Mongolian Throat Singing similar to Finnish Yoiking for lack of a better comparison. If you've ever heard Korpiklaani, you've heard Yoiking. Closest European equivalent to The Hu. In my horribly uneducated opinion. So please, don't be mean if I'm way off.
