A rock star and a cool dad, thats a winning combo right there.

[@larry-naylor]

I was very lucky to have visited Mongolia 12 years ago and have been desperate to get back ever since. The country is beautiful and her people are so warm that it felt like home to me. Listening to The Hu reconnects me with one of the happiest times of my life and I feel very lucky to have found them.

[@heidsterzsoups2133]

I love this "Hu We Are" series! I think a lot of people are first hearing about and learning about Mongolia through an interest piqued by this band. Getting a chance to learn about the culture they sing about is a real treat!

[@elizabethshingola2787]

I love Hu's In the Kitchen too

[@laughtercatz]

Yeah ! Mongolians have an unique and amazing culture ,I feel kind off privileged to be able to learn their culture

[@Hachapuri69]

about the Indian flute in this video that could have been "cracked", its a common thing to happen when wooden items are brought from southern countries, they end up getting cracked because of the climate difference. The wooden items are made in hot, humid climate but Mongolia is dry and cold for most of the time :S

[@johanneswerner1140]

As somebody who did teach at university it deeply touches me to hear how proud you are of the teacher's award. It takes great skill to teach! At least to teach well.

[@jeffward1106]

Silk bag flute sounds great! This guy is so talented, as his music & trophies prove. May The Hu last forever!

Saw the HU live last night at Baltimore Soundstage. They rocked the place to the ground! Lot of HU HU HU chants the whole night. Such an amazing and unique ethnic rock sound that I have never heard before. Can't wait to see them again!

[@coolssdude3063]

They were in Baltimore? I'm sad I missed it😭

[@charlieriebe909]

All of these videos behind the scenes and just in the everyday life go a long way to show how chill and human these guys are. No big rock star glitz and glam, and I honestly really love it. I look forward to seeing more vids like this!

I am a 65 year lady from Australia, I have bought both the Hu Cd's available here, I love the unique sound you bring and the fact that you share your traditional life with us. Our Indigenous peoples are made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. They play an instrument called the digeridoo, I think you would find it very interesting to play, similar to the second flute you showed us , it can only be played by men. Bless your family and band members.

I have so much respect for this man and everybody in the band. I do not understand the Mongolian language... But I will tell you this much right now... I can feel it. The first song I heard was Shireg Shireg. I had no idea who they were. I had no idea what to expect. About 30 seconds into the first verse I had tears streaming down both sides of my face. I didn't know what he was saying... But it hit me hard. I have never ever in my life had such an emotional response to any music. Don't get me wrong there's a lot of music that does get an emotional response from me but not like that song did. I absolutely love everything that these guys put out. And I hope and pray that they continue to do so for many many many years. If you guys read this... Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.. Thank you. Your music is... It's nothing short of absolutely amazing and very very powerful. You definitely have a fan for life with me. 🙏

Я прожил в Эрдэнэте почти 7 лет. Отличные воспоминания о Монголии, о культуре, о природе. И ещё любовь к тяжёлой музыке тоже сформировала определённые вкусы. The Hu это талантливые и мастеровитые музыканты, смешавшие этно и рок. Здоровья ребята вам и вашим близким!!!

I am 66 years old and my son introduced me to the Hu in 2019. I just loved everything about he band. The musical instruments which are so beautiful visually, the individual sounds they make. Then there is the different ways you all use/do throat singing. The overall professionalism you all present astounds. Now here we are being given a tour through your personal family space and being educated about the diversity of your cultural musical instruments. Thank you for sharing a snippet of your life with us. Kā nui te aroha ki a koutou katoa. From Aotearoa/New Zealand.

This "Hu We Are" is brilliant because you connect with everyone on a personal level, i was going to say human level but only because the onlooker is seen as a "Fan", Music is The Language everyone understands & after that meeting of minds we get this & it is great. Your Wife & Daughters are gorgeous & very important because they are the ones who hold you through it all. You play flute(s), clever & you are good, there are those who play but not all are good 😉 Goodonya & sorry i missed your Australian tour, i was so disappointed but unwell. I was born in Scotland & you have some sounds to your Language that resemble ours & our Musical instrument is just as unique & haunting (Bagpipes ) & your food lol, you'd be well accepted back home, me not so much because i prefer Vegan but love those Pine Nuts 😊 Much Love To You & Your Beautiful Family 🙏
