If you close your eyes you can see them riding their horses over the steppe...amazing.

[@alexreeperbahn7363]

I can see them dancing around with their woman and children

[@paulbookbinder4899]

Music from a culture that developed when man was just another inhabitant of the earth, not the self proclaimed master who will ultimately be the earths demise. Stunningly beautiful, just stunning

[@SirBelmerD]

If you think Mother Earth can't withstand us humans, you're sadly underestimating her power. Not to mention, you're forgetting their ancestors were responsible for the deaths of over tens of millions during their conquests. That said, wondrous music.

[@LudwigVaanArthans]

the Mongol were the epithome of "I am the master" mentality during their time, so chill out Karen and go fiddle your magical-crystal dildo and leave these things out of your overly romanticized first-world inhabitant views

This is the band that inspired me to teach myself throat singing.

[@hugoabilleira6277]

Really? This is amazing! If you need some tips/help, just say!

[@CedarPinesFieldGrove]

How's it going? I've been learning for the last 6 months or so, feel like learning a Turkic language to sing in would be pretty cool, or at least memorizing some lyrics.

[@vampyrsten]

@@hugoabilleira6277 Not that guy, but I've been learning myself for some time. I've tried for months, but can not seem to get into the high whistle overtone, any pointers would be very welcome

[@randomserb761]

Same! I've even taken a few classes when I had the (rare) opportunity!

[@randomserb761]

@@vampyrsten Sygyt is done by putting your tongue in a kind of L-shape, putting it back to where you would pronounce an English R while doing a Khöömei voice. You then shift your tongue in different positions there to get the desired overtone. It takes a bit of practice, but after a while you learn the positions of the different notes on the pentatonic major scale and you can sing along with everything!

[@justinw947]

This group is my absolute favorite performance you guys have on here

Here’s the lyrics. • Ooi, kok le khovu ortuzunga Chyraa-Khoor Kholbelchinneen changys khady Chyraa-Khoor Ooi, kholegege seriittengen Chyraa-Khoor Khoglyg omak chorumal bodum Chyraa-Khoor Ooi, saryg khovu ortuzunga Chyraa-Khoor Saglalchynnaan changys khady Chyraa-Khoor Ooi, salgyn-syryn aidyzangan Chyraa-Khoor Sagysh amyr chorumal bodum Chyraa-Khoor Ooi, taiga chokka chalynmas men Chyraa-Khoor Tandy kojuun kire beer men Chyraa-Khoor Ooi, oiun salchak arbyn chonnun Chyraa-Khoor Ortuzunga churtai beer men Chyraa-Khoor Ooi, chaiynnalgan salchak kojuun Chyraa-Khoor Charjyp erttip choraanynny Chyraa-Khoor Ooi, charash kara kadyn kystan Chyraa-Khoor Chashtyp yglap choraanymny Chyraa-Khoor In the middle of the green steppe, Chyraa-Khoor, there’s a lonely pine tree swaying in the wind. In its shadow I will rest- I, happy and relentless traveler. In the middle of the yellow steppe, there’s a lonely pine swaying. The air is ripe with aromas of the steppe, easy on my soul. I’m a relentless traveler. It’s difficult to be away from the taiga, but I will ride to Tandy steppe. Among its people, the Oyun-Salchak, I will reside. There, in the land of Salchak, you would come first - the winner, Chyraa-Khoor! From my beautiful wife, I hide my tears.

[@naomidelf]

Thank you very much, I was looking for it

[@ikashviar7792]

Thank you

[@pedroqueridomusic]

That bass line is so great (as well!). It alternates between different rhythm patterns and keeps a simple idea going on and on, totally carrying the song in the background. I love all the elements of the song, but I wanted to highlight the bass part of it. Beautiful music.

[@seth468]

CHYRAA-KHOOR ” The Yellow Pacer “ In the middle of the yellow steppe, Chyraa-Khoor We rest underneath a lone birch tree, Chyraa-Khoor The cool wind brings the scent of juniper, Chyraa-Khoor I’am a traveler, and my spirit is joyful, Chyraa-Khoor An orphan who herded sheep on lands belonging to a certain feudal lord (noyon) had nothing except Chyraa-Khoor, his beautiful, strong and fast horse. The noyon grew jealous of the horse and wanted to take it away. The orphan herder fled to others lands, and in this song, describes his journey. He began in the upper regions of the Khemchik River, in Bai-Taiga, and fled towards Tandi. As he travels along, he gives his own poetic names to the natural sights along the way.

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

Wait a minute. I was listening to these guys earlier a few hours ago and now all of a sudden there's a KEXP sesh of them? Brilliant! Funny those little coincidences. Found them a few years ago when I was just curious about throat singing music then stumbled upon them. They're absolutely stunning and this tune proves why. Makes want to go on a road trip through siberia.

Outstanding, just what I needed to hear. This all feels so real, full of good intention and soul. The throat singing is new for me, but I'm liking it! I might have to check them out in Arnhem next month.

[@manolitovanderwant1545]

Max Van Westerop did you went to see them? I live in the Netherlands as well and I went to see them. And I found it to be magical

[@meowtherainbowx4163]

I wonder if I’d like to see these guys live. They’ve certainly got the playing down. They don’t have to make everything overly studio perfect. It may not be good for moshing, but there could still be some good dancing with songs like these. Maybe the more atmospheric ones will give me something resembling a high, just like that time a Mongolian throat singer came to the high school I went to.

[@charlestharp3716]

The guy in green (second from right) mentioned in an interview that all members can do xoomei. He seems to be the one singing the lower voice toward the end of the song, though the video doesn't spend much time on him while he's singing.
