'The HU' is a band from Mongolia that uses throat singing combined with Mongolian folk music and hard rock/heavy metal. And using traditional Mongolian instruments , including the Morin Khuur seen here ,along with standard instruments. Please check them out. Suggest starting with 'Wolf Totem', either the original version or the redone version with Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach.

When the audience begin harmonizing, I feel the power of unification ❤️❤️❤️

[@Dobie_ByTor]

This clearly demonstrates how resonance is uniformity. From subatomic strings to music and even timespace. Music is truly the universal language. When the audience spontaneously harmonizes and fades at the end. We all FELT that.

[@We1Charity]

Brought tears to my eyes. The purity, the joy, the beauty. And all of us enjoying this.

[@eschelar]

When the vocal coach is rendered speechless, I think you have won the internet.

[@marceddy5059]

OMG on the second piece he sings… when his voice comes in it literally took my breath away and I became choked up and actually felt close to tears. Awesome!

[@Phantus00]

Fellas singing two notes at the same time. Mind blowing.

[@TheClassicWorld]

When aliens come and wonder if Mongolians were good or bad, let's just show them this guy, so that we can instantly save Mongolia forever. Agreed? ;)

[@Iherdit2day]

What a beautiful thing to say 🥰🥰🥰

[@s.vidhyardhsingh3881]

Agreed❤

[@blueyazzie9848]

Inuits also do it… some have different versions of how it’s sung but they can all pretty access it… there’s another group that is well known that spreads the amazing music… Drakha something I can’t remember!!

[@brianclemetson8781]

It's incredible to think Chinggis Khan came from the lowest of low in Mongolian civilization. To possibly bringing this to our attention today. Because of him we get to share such a rich and beautiful culture.

[@keshanizm]

noice!!! agreed 😊

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

The fact with just two notes being hummed by each half of the crowd he got _such_ a beautiful harmony to play along with is utterly amazing to me. Usually if you get a crowd to sing together it sounds like a bit of a mess lol

[@jcmusc]

Love Mongolian throat singing. I only started learning this year but I've been listening to it for 15 years. This guy is amazing! One i may get close

[@benjamingardner3314]

A more traditional group you might look at in your free time is Huun Huur Tu. I got into them in school and even got to see them perform live. It's incredible how skilled they are as instrumentalists and singers.

[@anoobcoder]

Huun Huur Tu FTW! I would love to see them live.

[@ericarupp6277]

They’re amazing live, and incredibly humble. I will always remember getting to shake their hands when I saw them in Boston ☺️

[@JStephens_73]

Another group of musicians and singers, from the country of Tuva, is called Alash Ensemble, who were taught techniques of throat singing by a man named Ondar Kongar-ol. Definitely worth your time.

[@migol1984]

I had a very intense and very lucid sleep paralysis where i heard my brain working as some sort of radio frequency and stations were sort of tuning in and out. I could hear the static very clearly when at some point a very powerful and deep throat singing chant started coming through. I tried to sleep through it till it went away but the further into sleep i got, the more powerful and intense it got that it freaked me out. But somehow i intuitively knew that it was trying to communicate something with me.

[@rolfflor7223]

Your face was priceless! It’s as if you were shocked and perplexed and worried and impressed all at the same time.

[@PhonePole68]

Lol she’s thinking two steps ahead of herself😂

[@sirbiff10]

When he was on The Voice Australia one of the coaches asked him about throat singing. He said he does two notes at the same time.

[@jf-be4zy]

When I was younger I did a lot of whistling and tried different ways to do it. Then I found out I could hum a tune and whistle at the same time and the sounds I got remind me of this throat singing.

[@gitasingh1437]

[@capstan50g]

What a cool reaction! I've seen this man share his beautiful talent before and I think it's captivating. These techniques are also being explored in the West. A singer named Anna-Maria Hefele has trained herself to sing polyphonically with great control. Here's a link to a demonstration video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHScgpttZZ6al9U

[@mikeconway9849]

I have listened to this demo from Anna-Maria and highly recommend it for an excellent demonstration of this technique

[@uuganzayadavaadorj5781]

thank you.🌟👍🙋

[@richardfordham931]

You are right, there is some degree of nasal aspect to the sound. I've been working on this for awhile, and a good part of it involves using the tongue to divide the mouth into 2 resonance chambers. If you type in overtone singing tutorial in the search window here, you'll find a lot to go on.

[@jdw9397]

Wow! Beautiful! Your comments and demonstrations were very interesting too! I agree with the other comments that you should check out the Hu

[@keshanizm]

this is insane! madre mia ❤

[@mharlan2]

I really enjoy listening to your analysis. There is one artist that I think you should consider. Geoff Tate of Queensryche. This was a Hair Metal Band from the 90’s. Start with Silent Lucidity and then Take hold of the Flame, the live version from Tokyo. You will be blown away by his vocal warmth, texture and range.

[@sae2705]

As somebody learning throatsinging (but to Tuvan styles, though technique tends to be the same), I'll say you are right with the vowel sounds. Thinking about certain vowels is how I focus my different overtones because of the position they put my tongue in, which controls said overtone (whilst the fundamental reasonates from my throat). For the "whistling" it's not the nasal passage, specifically. You can alter the sound with the nasal passage but the technique is independent of it and the guy teaching me is making the point that I don't let any sound out of my nasal passage so I can learn to do it properly. You are actually focusing on doing a few different things in order to produce & control that sound, but ultimately is creating another space with your tongue for the sound to come out, usually to one side of the mouth but that can vary (as some singers may do it more centrally). But it's not easy to pull off, you can recreate similar sounds more easily (and probably using the nasal passage), but doing it right or having control over isn't so easy. Another worth checking out is Soriah/Enrique Ulgade, altough he's from the US he learned Tuvan throatsinging and has competed in Tuva itself. He sings in their kargyraa style but also does his own thing with it, checkout the video called "Kargyraa from Soriah", as it is probably a good showcase of how many layers of sounds he can control independently. But also some actual Tuvan artists too like Yat Kha, Alash, Huun Huur Tu, Chirgilchin, Kongar-ol Ondar and so on. For Alash "My Throat solo" is a good showcase of their voices for Huun Huur Tu something like Orphan's Lament shows some of the raw emotion conveyed in their voices, for Chirgilchin I really like their version of Daglarym (which i am learning), for Kongar-ol Ondar, his duet with Willie Nelson singing Kongurei is really good. For Yat Kha, maybe Shartylaam (Albert Kuvecin has a pretty unique form of Kargyraa).

[@savingcpr5450]

0:52 Not only did he sing the main vocal note, AND the overtone, he also sang an ADDITIONAL note underneath all of that??? Excuse me? WHAT??

[@marknpb]

I hope you got to see this mans audition on the voice of his song Mother & Father. That was an absolutely beautiful and haunting song.

[@earthnutbutter5020]

amazing

[@MossyMozart]

Some years ago, I went to presentation at SUNY New Paltz featuring Tibetan monk throat singers, living in Northern India by then. There were also performers on long, long trumpets (cannot remember what they are called). It was INCREDIBLE! They performed without amplification and set the whole interior of the auditorium to vibrating, including my chair. I could even feel vibrations coming up through the floor and through my shoes to my feet! It was magical. A reception followed and several of the monks sat at my table, so I got to speak with them and was faintly surprised that they had normal speaking voices. ^_^

[@vasetolevski]

4:02 The whole hall...it's amazing !!!

[@lesliecrowther7004]

I know the mongolian singer was very good indeed. But may i say that, you also have a beautiful voice. Softly spoken a s m r a special kind of voice.

[@Skillividden]

Some 20 years ago I attended a 2-day master class of a shaman and throat singer from Tuva. I still remember and actually can sing the styles this singer is using ("sygyt" and "khoomei"), but I did not succeed to learn the lowest, roaring "kargyraa" style. So, at least I know how he does that :)

[@sickturret3587]

dude, sygyt takes some time. khomei is relatively easy. (which is basic "mongolian throat singing is at all") karygyraa probably takes a part of your vocal chords. i've seen a master of the latter irl. it was crazy.

[@bobarris]

He was a contestant on the voice Australia.

[@nightshade7240]

The whistling isn't actually whistling. It's tongue position and mouth shape and you can push the sygyt into the nose while maintaining that subharmonic. You essentially have two elements. Western singers talk about head and chest voice. Throat singing is throat and nose voice. Sygyt depends on the underlying subharmonic but the subharmonic doesn't rely on the sygyt. You can throat sing with only the throat and that's often where you get that much deeper resonance because you aren't employing the nose as well. You can often hear it when a throat singer switches between throat and nose, much like head and chest, if you know what to listen for. You can also perform sygyt with a clean subharmonic or you can utilise a technique that gives you more a "trill" effect. Those changes in the pitch of his sound are simply very small changes of tongue sliding against the roof of the mouth. You slide the tongue forward to achieve higher pitch and backwards to lower the pitch. Also sygyt is entirely dependent on the subharmonic. If you haven't heard the throat singing cover of Linkin Park's "numb" by Kuular, it's a stunning blend of modern and traditional. Utterly indescribable.

[@neonsupercell672]

I’m no expert but sygyt style( which sounds like he’s doing) they use nasal resonance to reach the high frequencies or the whistling sound

[@pubbahubbabba]

I clicked on this video because I love Bukhchuluun's voice, his horse fiddle, and his ability to play it. However, while I was watching him sing (at 6:45), I saw something out of the corner of my eye that I had to comment on. It was one of the most beautiful things I think I have ever seen. I know there are people who are going to slam me, make fun of me, or say all kinds of horrible things about me for saying this, but it is well worth it just to tell you. What caught the corner of my eye was your beautiful smile. I honestly don't think I have ever seen a smile as beautiful as yours. I promise I am not trying to be pervy, sarcastic, creepy, or anything else like that, and I usually don't even have the nerve to express things like this to people, but I felt compelled to for some reason, so I hope that is okay. I thought you were going to be a total nerd at first, and that is kind of what I wrote you off as until I saw it -- that incredibly beautiful smile, that is. I hope this doesn't offend you or creep you out, as that is not at all what my intentions are. I just thought I would say something nice to someone, and you happened to be the one to receive it today, and I hope it makes a difference for you, in a good way of course. God bless and keep you, and please keep smiling.

The physicist, Richard Feynman, became fascinated by the singing of Tuvans, a people who at the time were were incorporated into the Soviet Union on the border with Mongolia and who employ the same overtone singing technique. The book, Tuva or Bust!, by Ralph Leighton, gives the story of Feynman's attempt to get permission to visit Tuva in the last years of his life.

[@bronsonleach3573]

He uses a mix of tongue and soft palate, which is known as overtones . The lower notes use vocal folds, which is the more famous and well-known . Now combine the two, and then you will be doing what he is doing. You hardly use your vocal cords at all it is mostly air and your folds. The vocal cords should only sound like a whisper. When you use overtones, you stick your tongue behind your top teeth and make urr vowel, and then play with it. The actual throat singing is more difficult and uses parts of your throat you normally don't use. To get that low sound, you can only use your vocal folds. The only sound coming from the cords is a whisper. You know how Australian men sometimes sound when they get excited and get that weird low sound out of nowhere that makes them temporarily sound like they some a hundred pack of cigarettes a day that is the sound you want. Then, combine the two and play with it. These techniques require a lot of playing around. It will hurt at first because you are not used to using your vocal folds. Women can make these sounds as well they can sing decently low but not like men for obvious reasons. This is also how subharmonics is done except way more power.

I agree. How can you analyze something of which you have no real concept, and can not do yourself. I might as well criticize physics. I know of physics, but not enough to explain it, much less critique it. Mongolian Throat Singing is beautiful. I came to see more examples after seeing he was on The Voice in another country, and I got excited to see you had reviewed him on your channel. I trust your opinions and reviews. He managed a 4 chair turn, but what will they do with that in the competition? Its likely he didn't make it far, as what else can you have him sing and use his talent. I will investigate what happened to him I guess. More research! Input! hahaha I understand the throat thumping thing you demonstrated. As a kid, I remember I somehow managed to try this myself, not by seeing others, just out of curiosity of what it would sound like to do that, as well as thumping my cheeks with different vocalizations. Cool Stuff, Bethany!
