Huun Huur Tu at Philadelphia Folk Festival, August 2006

[curvadevento]

where can I find the lyrics?

[azmhyr]

Nevertheless, Khalka influence is strong in the Tyva.

But Tyvan influence is also strong in Khalka and other mongols.

[bcdigit]

what do u use for a string on those igle thingies .and how about an diy for making 1 of themovertone flutes.words cant difine the beauty !also thank u 10 times!!!!!!! when i sing my song i use sygyt ,and it moves me greatly. ii feel a strong connection to your world ,hht you move me.thanks

[OzanTenger]

Might as well clear this up. Tuvans are racially and linguistically closer to Turks, though they are still related to Mongols. Even the name of the song, Saryglar, has the same plural ending as modern turkish, not to mention a lot of common words, that even I, being from Turkey understand very well. However, centuries of living near Mongols has imbued them with more mongol culture, though they are quite unique themselves. anyhow, this music is beautiful all the same...

[luciusfluff]

This is so beautiful, I've watched it probably hundreds of times but it still makes my chest tighten every time. I love it so much I'm working on learning this style of singing myself... doesn't work so well being female and white. :\

We'll see how it goes.

[Ievolovel]

I'm sure you have, but just in case you haven't... listen to Orphans Lament.

[bobaloubro]

They aren't Mongolian. That first guy is definitely Mark Wahlberg.

[Takrezz]

ROFLMAO

[azmhyr]

@bobaloubro

On some accounts, they are mentioned as turkcified mongols, and on others, as mongolified turks.

Which one is which, one can't tell. Now with the arrival of the russians, their heritage might be more mixed.

[wadesterincorporated]

They are not from Mongolia. They are from Tuva. It is a small country between Russia and Mongolia. Entire population is only about 300,000. They are there own people, with there own customs and language.

[rhox1567]

it's spelled their, not there. sorry i'm kinda grammar picky. but yes your info is correct about where they are from

[jgorilla]

But you should be aware of the fact that their culture and mongolian culture are almost indistuishable. Mongolians throat sing and wear deel and they play ikil(igil in tuvan) and morin khuur, so do tuvans and et cetera. And mongolians and tuvans were the same nation(read subutai and genghis khan)

until they came under the rule of SSSR.

[BuynaaBarut]

tuva was mongolian part just century ago. russia forced them to lose their own culture. but we (mongolia) still think that tuvans are mongolian. tuva=mongolia

[oasisspirit]

Tuva is nt a country but part of russia now. they do have its own customs and language tho

[livethedrugs]

yeah they're from Mongolia!

[Milisabelle]

Where are they from??? Are they Mongolian? This is the MEANING of Folk music!!

[zakit]

They're from a country called Tuva, between Russia and China.

[KemalistKonya]

Long live Turkish shamanic music... Long live Attila, Gengis Khan, Ataturk...

Long live TURAN

[dragoron]

that's Tuvan, originally, turkfag

[wadesterincorporated]

i got to see these guys at earlham collage in richmond in. sept. 26. it has been a week and i am still smiling. i got to have my picture taken with one of them. it for me, was a dream come true. i have loved this music for over 30 years. i never in my wildest dreams thought i would be face to face with throat singers. there music made me cry. it will get into your soul.

[Shalinar45]

I can't WAIT til it snows again! This song played during a snowfall is SO beautiful!

[Neojulian8]

This is beautiful.

[sundancechief]

My mistake it wasn' Alexi. It was Anatoli that was there not the guy that that sings in the beginning of this song.

[sundancechief]

These guys are group of dudes are cool cool. I met them back in 2000 in Santa Cruz CA. Back then the main drummer was different his name was Alexi. Got to party and chill with them awesome human beings and awesome musicians. That would be cool to see them again.

[marokejp]

They have really good voice!!!!

[romanroman1975]

HHT is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[jetlagg90]

i cant believe how many racists listens to this piece of ethnic music and writes a racist comment...If you are racist you shouldnt be listening to this cause you dont deserve to hear this beautiful piece...

[spiffinz]

smoke a fat bowl of chronic and listen to this song, itll take you places ;)

[intrepgun]

smoke is bad for your body. cannabis good, smoke bad. eat it in lipids [i highly recommend extra virgin coconut oil inside of gel caps] or vaporize. be smart, treat your body well. not to mention smoking is a very inefficient method of delivery. it's fast, sure, but so is vaping. and it's far more economical to vape or eat it. ingested cannabis is processed differently in the liver and is made into a different compound, three times more potent than smoked material.

[Dragmack]

this song is beauty made audible.

[chickenjojo]

holy cow.  i've watched Huun Hur Tu videos time and again and just today discovered this one!!

thanks, youtube.

thanks even more for posting.

[Yukkione]

I cant wait to see them play on the 28th. :)

[curvadevento]

[omgwtflolz111]

bunlar tuva türkleri, sibiryanin güneyinde.

[Okpakok]

~*Stunning!Breathtaking!*~

[spiffinz]

Words cannot describe the power and emotion I feel while listening to this music. Every day I listen to it several times in a row just to absorb the feeling behind the music.

Truly awe inspiring music :)

[CthulhuXIII]

See them live if you get the chance. Blew me away!

[gordiniritzenthaler]

[Vierotchka]

Saryglar - song of unrequieted love.

[Shalinar45]

[Shalinar45]

Its snowing where I am, right now...this absolutely fits the weather outside, right now...STUNNING!!

[Sniezo]

[MshrF]

Do you have a link to their present touring schedule? Their website has not been updated and has only the 2006 tour.

[tantsev]

we updated the web site with the upcoming US tour info

[TomaxBackwards]

This is one of the most achingly beautiful and haunting things I've ever heard... sounds like the Tuvans were doing Sigur Ros long before Sigur Ros was. Songs are always, for me--if they're good, that is--accompanied by cinematic mental images. I envisioned a man on his death bed, lying there in the final minutes of his life... now beyond reach, unaware of his surroundings... with images from his life both mundane and extraordinary passing by. Absolutely engulfing.

[everamzah]

that was me you saw

[Jest]

Funny I think I pictured you too. Yes, as the song plays I clearly see someone named JAmes sitting playing Chess while drinking tea. Then a llama comes out of nowhere and eats your legs. You crawl helplessly to a nearbye ice cream store only to find that they're out of Chocolate Cookie Dough flavor. Your screams of agony at this travesty fill the earth. The end.

[PurrfectPeach]

This just goes to show...the language of love is universal :)

[divakooky]

its beautiful

[popipus]

grande

[Chengizi]

Nice

[SHUDE888]

Radik ug zhok sen! I can explain some things to my fellow Kazakh cousin, Tuvans are Turks by their origin and contemporary Turkic people's motherland is the territory of the present Tuva, the great movement started from there. As for the Mongolia, well, it has been our neighbour for centuries just like Russia, of course it would influence the language and the appearance, especially after Genghis-Khan. You need to learn YOUR history Kazakh99

[aram34]

Nice song...

[everamzah]

just getting it out of their systems i guess. remember: there are more people not insulting each other than there are people who are insulting each other. it's a game of those involved. most of us choose not to play.

[bogini59]

i,ve been on their concert!!it wos greate!

[OghuzKlan]

Tuvans are not Mongolians. Mongols are black-faced. Turks are white

[Kazakh99]

Man you must be the dumbest wankstain alive on this earth,

If you can read, then Tuvan was a part of Mongolia up to 1912.

I'm a Kazakh, I've got white skin, I'm a Turk and I can honestly say you are a dumb piece of shit I've seen on youtube.

Like we say in Kazakh, 'pitszaas ne dyyraak'. lol.

Man you need to read some books and PEOPLE READING, GET THIS....'MONGOLS ARE BLACK FACED'. AHHAAAHAHAHAHA

[OghuzKlan]

man u should be muthafucker. Take a mongolian and look at his face and then look at also a Turkic man's face ok?

And read about Tuvan language. It is a Turkic language. He says in video "Sariglar" it is a Turkic word also!!!

[Haludek]

You seriously need to get to some eye illnesses specialist. Not to mention your head.

[RichardJ60]

Beautiful!

[noahkya]

I've seen them performing live... incredible!!!

[jabraulter]

Such a beautiful song. I LOVE it.

[welshysheep]

thats beautiful

[akaytug]

THAT IS A KİND OF TURKISH MUSIC

[DrMamBo]

Mongolian actually.

namaste

[Vierotchka]

Well, the Mongolians and the Tuvans do belong to the Turcic ethnic and language group. The origin of the Turks is Mongolia.

[brqmxrt]

The hell are talking about? Mongols are mongols, turks are turks, Tuvans are mongols. Turs are morons.

[Vierotchka]

Mongols, Tuvans, Turks, all descend from one single tribe, and they all have a Turkik language.

[Nenamorut]

Exactly, Tuvans have a Mongoloid culture, hence, you find next to no muslim shitheads in Tuva.

Tuvans are mostly Shamanic.

Turks are mostly....turds.

[MyNameIsBucket]

The preferable term is "Mongolian". "Mongoloid" implies an offensive remark on people with Down Syndrome.

[Nenamorut]

Actually, the Anthropological term Mongoloid, before being used offensively to denote people with Down Syndrome, was in actuality a scientiffically acceptable denotion for all East Asians, since east asians are believed to have originally hailed from the greater area of Mongolia. Of course, Caucasoids have been known to have ranged in eastern asia some 3,000 years ago...As proven by the discovery of Tocharian mummies, e.t.c

Yes,Tuvans could be labeled Mongolian-like in culture.Current Mongolian

[MyNameIsBucket]

Yes I know, I only said it because of the connotations. Using "Mongoloid" while being aware of that is be like trying to take back the swastika or complaining that black people can say "nigga".

[Nenamorut]

Yes, blacks are free to use nigga, since they are black. As far as the swastika goes, it was a pan-racial, multi-religious symbol for the Sun. Greeks used it for the decoration of their temples, the Buddhists placed it upon theit Idols, so on and so forth. It belongs to the ancient Pagan cultures which invented it, and not some quickly come and gone fascist army. Genocides have been occuring under the banner of the Chi Rho, followed by the Cross for almost two thousand years now.

[Nenamorut]

Why is the cross not a much maligned and super-tabooed symbol??

[MyNameIsBucket]

Because the assholes who commit crimes against humanity under the cross are still in power.

[AditiB]

This is about music, not about who is a shithead and who isn't. I mean seriously - has there ever been a monotheistic religion that hasn't produced 'shitheads'? And every society has a few rotten apples - doesnt mean everyone's rotten, hm? Whatever the origins of these people, the fact is their music is mesmerising, and I think thats what counts.

[DrMamBo]

thats amazing..i cant stop listening to this song.

[kuurgen]

These guys are great. Orphan's Lament my favorite song by them!

[himroonya]

thans a lot for videos, very beautiful...

[joshm77]

Awesome!!! Fantastic!!! Thank you so much for this video!

[haganegenkotsu]

Beautiful song. Sun Propeller is one of my favorite groups!

[LeventAysan]

kop yahshi

this is the real culture,

100000000000 times better than nonsense pop songs

[emuyogi]

That is right!!!! a friend of mine is an artist in traditional mongolian music...I love it!!

[GlorifiedCarnage]

I think all music has a purpose. This is food. Pop music is candy. If it has the right effect on you, it should feel like certain things. If you don't like sugar, then pop isn't for you. Pop music makes me hyperactive. This makes me calm. Music is almost never bad. Unless the artist sucks. Like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star will never be fun for me again, because I've heard beginning violins play it so often. Everything is good for something, remember that, and you will have a less annoyed life.

[samsaphone]

Well said, good sir (or ma'am?)

[GlorifiedCarnage]

That would be Miss. ^_^

[samsaphone]

Well said, Miss..."GlorifiedCarnage"? Sounds like an interesting story.

[MortiS86]

fuckin wild man

[18hmoobclans]

dont be so closed minded my friend....open your mind to the world because cultural fusion is happening notter how some people think or say

[MortiS86]

when i say wild i mean untamed and unpretentious. this music is pure expression and i love it!

[SashSegal]

Neat!

you've done a very good job with the camera
