Supposedly something like 10% of the world's current population can trace lineage back to Genghis Khan...allegedly. Not sure if that's the correct percentage, but it's a surprisingly large number.

[@matthewdrake4385]

If you have heard any native American music, it sounds like this, just minus the rock drums. Mad respect to honoring their heritage in a rock genre. They did collaborate with a few regular rock artists, but I think it sounds better without the guest artists. The Hu means the people. By the way, there are versions of their songs that have the English translations of what's being sung.

[@smok3y420]

I will say that Lzzy hale in woman's song was amazing. Other than that I agree.

[@matthewdrake4385]

Lzzy could duet with about anyone and sound amazing. One of the best recent voices in rock. She reminds me of Pat Benetar, Joan Jett and Ann Wilson.

[@Summersoftballgirl]

I know that you guys probably won't see this, but i'm so happy that you opened yourselves up to listen to the band The Hu! I am not your typical listener. I am much older, could be a grandmother, but I was turned on to them over a year ago, and having a music background, I have just been so intrigued by them. I don't know if you looked up anything about the band, but those instruments that they play, particularly the 2 that only have 2 strings they are traditional Mongolian. Instruments and they are normally played sitting down. They had to have them retrofitted so that they could learn to play them as they stood up.The other instrument only has three strings, the one that is referred to as an electric guitar. The range of sound that they achieve, especially on the instruments with 2 strings, is phenomenal exclamation. They are cool, you guys are cool, and I totally enjoy listening to you!

The Mongolian jaw harp is termed a tumur khuur, to be precise. But by whatever name, Jaya has it DOWN, and I'm thrilled that you've taken up that instrument! It adds so much to most any sort of composition. 🎵

[@marcialavine1272]

This music stirs in all of us that primordial connection- to the land, to our collective human history, to each other. I believe this is why it has attracted so many, regardless of any presupposed language barrier. I fell in love with them in 2016 before they became widely known, for this reason. I found my inner Mongol.

[@peeweewallabowski7084]

The Great Chinggis Khaan is another cool song by them

[@cmathews1978]

If you turn on captions, KZbin puts on the English translation

[@beththehuman7532]

The triangular guitar type instrument is called a tovshuur, and the long necked violin type instrument is called a moriin khuur. They also use a tumur khuur or jaw-harp.

"Ey ve, ey ve, ey ve" means "How Strange (repeatedly)", and asking why are we corrupted in all aspects of life. Why are we morally going down as a society? That's what the song is asking.

It is very unlikely that there was any interaction between the Irish and the Mongols during the period of the Mongol Empire, simply because of geography and the distance involved. That some Hu Band songs sound like Irish or other folk music from various parts of the world is simply a coincidence. Primitive folk music from all over the planet used somewhat similar instruments and so naturally sounds somewhat similar. This is not to say that the Hu Band might not have been influenced by music from other cultures, as obviously they have.

[@ChollaRanch]

Recent genetic studies show that native Indians of the Americas derive from the Mongols. The similarities to Inuit throat-singing techniques and the rhythms of The HU's shaman drums. (so if you have any Sioux, Cherokee, Paiute, etc., you have at least traces of Mongolian bloodlines.
