Huun Huur Tu in Los Angeles LIVE

[bigboondi]

great ideas hey, lets turn their culture and singing into american rap slum shit music for a few bucks...i can smell the greed in your comments.

These unbelievable musicians are just beautiful as they are. a little bit more exposure is all they need, and not so much as to fuck em up like they did with so many others.

[CBernal728]

Heaven!

[baldrbraa]

John, Paul George and Ringo.

[TranceRVictriX]

I would like to know what the lyrics are.

[illspirit1965]

These guys working with Martin Dosh would be bangin

[illspirit1965]

omfg that was so incredible

[dyrbov]

I hear roots of metallica, pink floyd, deep purple in this songs?..

[inyobill]

108 likes zero, zilch, nil, nul, none dislikes. I hope to catch one of their tours someday ...

[Artamexico]

wow, nice song, please whats the song name?

[ScreaminMadMurphy]

this type of music may not be the most popular or the highest paying but i can see it's definitely the most fun.

[lohphat]

It brings to mind riding on horseback across the tundra with your father and his father beside you as the sun sets.

[xyaqua]

Of all the half dozen Tuvan bands i've heard/seen, Huun Huur Tu have the most life and originality, sincerity, depth and accessibility, as well as just plain enjoyable to listen to, of all of them.  These people are extraordinary representatives of Tannu Tuva, but still it paints such a wonderful picture... with mere sound!!! Holy cow! (or horse.. :-) )

[dobracina]

This is music of freedom... Thank god something like this exists. This modern day western crap is causing stress and mental disorder ...

[burritoholic]

Can anyone tell me which of their albums this song is on?

[mangaczar]

I love these guys

[singy1980]

very-very interesting music and creative singing style! The amazing human race!!!!!!!!!

[spoddog1]

mesmorising,

[xyaqua]

This is close to the album track- love of the life and friendships in a very landlocked and isolated land- perhaps the most remote place on Earth. These guys are ambassadors of an alien culture, so ancient, and yet so modern. The perfect art.

[Eatboom]

Both delicate and powerful at the same time. Awesome!

[fasteddy60]

Fantastic Music !!!

[earthbenderzore15]

at 1:20 the guy at first sounded indian to me,lol

n tone of it

[theoriginalmcsquare]

record this in a studio and you can make yourself a radio worthy track right there

[TheMarkodream]

pjesn je bolji

[unin00bster]

Anyone know if Huun-Huur-Tu is coming back to Cali? I really want to see them someday. I'm a bit of a musical xenophile - last week i just saw Ravi Shankar :-P

[sangpeut]

beautiful!

[behee1110]

Mongolian band "Hosoo transmongolia" is much better than any others, Have a listen them.

[arkun]

Anybody knows if there's a video clip of "Odugen Taiga" anywhere?

[MauriceFlower]

Amazing! And dance-driving rythms. I would like to see dancers to this music!

[rhkips]

Thanks a bunch for posting this! I just bought three of their albums off iTunes as a result. :-D

[moonknight9]

I spoke to their manager after the show, I really think they could do much better if they put more up on the web, as well as do some more workshops (I would love to sponsor one in Los Angeles)

[rhkips]

That would be absolutely awesome! And I have to agree: I've shown this video to a few of my friends, and they've instantly become hooked. I've even got a few 'students' so to speak, whom I'm teaching rudimentary throat singing to, now. *laughs* I'm in the Orange County area, if you need help coordinating anything. :-)

[moonknight9]

Their lament was that in California they could barely fill a bar, but on the east coast they have sold out show in large venues... :-(

[rhkips]

Hmm, I'd have to see the venues they were playing on the East Coast. California works very, very differently from the rest of the country in terms of advertising and demographics and whatnot. I'm willing to bet that it's an issue of, quite literally, culture clash. They merely weren't appealing to the distinct mindset of Southern California. :-)

[globetrekker86]

@moonknight9 Wow... Lucky you! I really wish they'd come to Philadelphia again. I missed seeing them @ the fok fest in '08

[Atrux1]

@moonknight9 Totally agree! I saw them in a small music festival in France, 700 people, not espacially musical trained, where totally fascinated. 4 years after, I still have not forgotten!

[KatsuGuitar]

@moonknight9 Also look into playing music festivals. No better exposure than that! 

[DragonWorshipper]

looks like they left Anatoly at home for this one xD

[zk4ore]

Anatoly is no longer in the band. Radik now plays byzanchy for them. He has for a few years now. Radik is a notable singer and byzanchy player who was at one point in Yat-Kha.

[DragonWorshipper]

WHAT? when did he leave? Or rather, where'd he go?

[DragonWorshipper]

ok it seems i knew this a while, i just forgot xD Cuz ive seen several vids without him already. But HHT always keeps those slots flexible, percussion and strings...

[salamibob]

I'd love to hear them do AC/DC's 'Dirty Deeds' as a request. Not since Froggy in Little Rascals have I heard such a cool throaty voice.

[moonknight9]

THat is a GREAT idea, there are lots of modern songs I think would be really cool with the harmonics and overtones...

[salamibob]

I'm glad that you took my rather silly remark the way it was intended. I could seriously imagine these wonderful artists performing contemporary covers with quite an interested audience - me being one of them.

[cosme1234quiroz]

this is so cool!

[ryanstively]

Thanks for posting this.

[zk4ore]

Ezir Kara...Black Eagle. I wish they would come back to Pennsylvania.
