[78gienek]

Daje chłopak czadu

[simplydeva]

i love Huun Huur Tu

[TheJimford]

Fantastic! 

[fimeta]

wowwwwww! bellissimo

[steray8one]

I may be out on a limb here, but I half suspect that a constant diet of this type of music could easily drive an ambitious type A mongol to leave his native land and conquer the known world

[ShwanEstabon]

how the heck do they do that?

[Sideybhai]

My word - Surreal - I just might have to start believing in Divinity

[lampwithbulb2]

Σπάστοοοο!!!

[02kadir]

[larensflarens]

death to american imperialism

[QUEEFMUFFINS]

@larensflarens Or would you rather it be Russian or Chinese communism?

[larensflarens]

@QUEEFMUFFINS those are as bad, but they're past. american imperialism is present

[PeculiarTactics]

@QUEEFMUFFINS What is wrong with communism? Lol i am a communist.

[QUEEFMUFFINS]

@PeculiarTactics I was mainly talking about the countries themselves.

[DINDRAGON]

huuuur hun turrr ima mongol!

[RiderOfTheGod]

that's simple :D just try :)

[MrThedalaillamaknows]

I thought he said it was throat singing in the style of weasel, and i was like "WEASEL!!!"

[break2all]

I'dd rather not look not the dislikes, I'm amazed by the number of likes. This gives me hope, thank you...

[SoupyNuggets]

...what a beautiful thing........

[Bayplaces]

I have been throat singing for over six months now and it is an incredible to produce these sounds. Everyone can do it, it's just being dedicated to making sounds that at first may seem strange. I'm not as good as the man in this video. He has years of experience behind creating these sounds. Fortunately, I'm only 18 and hope to continue to make them. Being as good as him is simply being dedicated to make funny sounds with your throat. It's beautifully and it's make me smile when I do it.

[applecrumping33]

harmonics are so cool! resonance.

[Mr09184610074]

Are these guys mongolians? Cool! :D

[DrNicolha]

oh tu me soule toi!

[camsquirrel]

@DrNicolha No, they're Tuvan. I believe it's between Russia and Mongolia.

[PoppinCheese]

I like the overtones but goddammit I feel dizzy when I listen to throat singing because of that UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUU

[valrenee]

Throatsinging is always amazing and beautiful... but I have to say, I feel bad for the sound check guys in the US who probably took a while to figure out it was this guy singing and not the mic going crazy.

[rmmattos9]

BEAT BOX JAPONES

[artemanah]

best trip music ever!!

[m0rsa]

EL AAAAFILADOR SEÑORA!!!

[kickstand801]

WTF?!!

[mohitnetwork]

this sound also used in the song calling wisdom by karuesh

[VchaosTheoryV]

You know before Genghis Khan would invade, people in villages would hear the death chants just before the invasion to know when to flee and that they were close by. Just imagine listening to over 100 thousand people throat singing. Eerie. Check out the movie "Mongol" soundtrack to see what i refer to

[musiccrazy1693]

@havokbaphomet666 Actually, I think he's whistling while making some throat sounds. The main melody is in the whistling :)

[EgwHmmyToFws]

The people who disliked the video propably can't even walk and talk at the same time ....

[IvorCane]

@EgwHmmyToFws

Probably ....

[Wongraven559]

@EgwHmmyToFws no kidding your right lol how can you dislike this video its such a beautiful sound :)

[jcasius]

this music blows my mind. some of the throat singers can make a variety of sounds and they all mean something, like a tone for the wind 1 for the alti mountains and so on. all comes from gengis khan witch they pronounce gengis han.

[wesharris6]

@jcasius

No mate, it's Chingis Han.

Source you ask?

My wife's a mongol.

[jcasius]

@wesharris6 thankyou for my miss spelling of chingis han

[vlnvlaclogbaerhpno]

@wesharris6 Some people spell it Chinggis Xan...not everyone agrees exactly how to transcribe it from Mongolian Cyrillic.

[Shift9001]

@wesharris6 I think it depends from language to language. We write it as "Genghis Khan" (with "we", I mean Belgium.), but I've seen a LOT of other ways to write it.

[bluegrooves]

@Shift9001 we write Cengiz Kağan :))

[aoxgeneral]

This is awesome stuff.

[UluTimucin]

esenlikler olsun TUVA`ya.

[Pa360jHuK]

[nuubtuube]

[kahtuh]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[salemthemerciless]

never thought i would be so fascinated with this art form . These people are just incredible .

[rrmusicprojects]

Thank you awesome! 

[vincentXXX666]

IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE PURE DETH METAL TO ME

[ruudhollenberg]

Real good pig-squilers in metal also make 2 sounds at the same time it seems

[Incisionator]

@ruudhollenberg It's very similar.

[avrambrankovich]

his voice reaches somewhere beyond my perceptions

[Lastochka720]

Вот это сила!

[sagrathus]

wonderfull!!

[Atrux1]

Je les ais vu une fois dans une petite ville en France, y avait 700 personnes dans la salle, entraînés à entendre de la musique de qualité et de bon niveau, qui en sont littéralement restés sur le cul! Moi le premier!

[tsartodd]

ok ... now can i get some kung-pao chicken please?!?

[andyanyd]

HOW CAN I LEARN HOW TO DO THIS

[Doze67]

@andyanyd

go in mongolia

[plinzex]

Huun Tuur Tu is the best! Thanks for this video!

[KhDugurzhap]

huun huur tu super. Warm greetings from Tuva. I like, that you interested our singers.

[babal1ty]

sikfuk uses this vocal style too.

[melanzio]

it remainds me of Demetrio Stratos, wich I never fully appreciated in his vocal experimentation. but I guess tis good to listen to something out of the ordinary every once in a while.

[mankonpiba]

SUPER SOUND

[LaMagaRouge]

dAMn it!! thats juts just just beautiful, so so ...make me fly, love this thanxs

[Anmatuur]

Amazing whistle effect

[Naticlese]

bagpipes of the throat

[azja7777]

Super wokal wgniata w glebę

[kreew123]

LONG LIVE TURAN !

[YossarianTheMeerkat]

I see now that you have worked with the Chieftains. I want an album! Deeper fusion! you guys sound so oddly similar

[radicalrant]

awesome!

[VITTORE87]

sounds like the Alien Dog in Half Life hahahaha

[geragna]

Reminds me of a Hurdy Gurdy

[robmiller100]

does he use throat pastels

[ownuinwar121]

these same people came to our school and performed for us they are amazing

[XRayCam]

Now that's cool :)

[kloserer]

na żywo , na świeżym powietrzu w gwieździstą noc efekt był niesamowity !

[SwartzGunther]

I can sing like this

[ebrenalmodok]

HEJ HEJ

[summerbaby12882]

Beautiful.

[windandmotocross]

こりゃ、参った！

聞き出すとなんか癖になる。

[paragshah2112]

wow ... just ... wow

[4hoodedniggz]

Some roster half ass does this and gets 5 million views. Where's the justice?

[havokbaphomet666]

is he actually making two different sounds in that throat?

[tantsev]

@havokbaphomet666

yes, he does

[zdrastvoite1]

@tantsev Well yes and no. He isn't responsible for the extra notes. Sound always has more than one pitch when produced by singing or any instrument, really; these are called overtones. He is "simply" (it is far from simple) manipulating his throat, vocal folds, and mouth cavity to increase the volume and resonance of these overtones.

[1iRa]

@tantsev

sry, today is wise-ass-day;)

its more that he uses his tongue to filter out the overtones,he is singing one note, and he keeps doing that, then he uses his tongue (and mouth) for the overtones. u can hear that at 1:36. nobody can do 2 notes in his throat, would be cool though

[fenwick101e]

@tantsev EARGASAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LOSTPRATT63]

@tantsev sounds like more thin two,it just might be me i hear three.

[psicodaliarocker]

@tantsev Well, actually, no. The whistle sound doesn't come from the throat. The technique consists basically in positioning your mouth and toungue in such a way that the air coming from your lungs combines with the tone of your voice and produces something called harmonics (high-pitched-whistle-like sound). To put it in perspective, it's similar to blowing air into a pen tube. But anyway, it's amazing! It takes a lot of practice to be able to do that.

[davidmoye]

@tantsev thats 3 sounds ese. low overtone, high overtone and reg. voice

[TajMikel]

@havokbaphomet666 The whistle doesn't actually resonate in his throat, that's a combination of tongue and lip movements

[chaz9123]

@havokbaphomet666 look up tuvan throat singing tutorials you can learn to do it yourself

[Superman8137]

@havokbaphomet666

Listen carefully. You'll get the answer!

[EspiaDelDiablo]

@havokbaphomet666 i think it's the feedback from the mic... I wonder if itsounds the same without the mic.

[wyleepirate]

@EspiaDelDiablo it does, and it's not all that hard to learn, though it is very difficult to master.

[lexxbo]

@havokbaphomet666 this throat singing - the highest skill

[IoannP]

@havokbaphomet666 i suppose one in his nose and another in his throat

[zakit]

@IoannP No nose. The base tone is made with the throat and then the overtones are produced and modulated with the mouth cavity and tongue.

[Tauli4Luna]

@havokbaphomet666 search on Wikipedia for "overtone singing" -> the answer to this awesome but also mysterious style of singing...

[TheDreadbrain]

@havokbaphomet666

he does i want to know how thats possible

[zdrastvoite1]

@havokbaphomet666 Well yes and no. He isn't responsible for the extra notes. Sound always has more than one pitch when produced by singing or any instrument, really; these are called overtones. He is "simply" (it is far from simple) manipulating his throat, vocal folds, and mouth cavity to increase the volume and resonance of these overtones.

[spiousas]

@havokbaphomet666 No he doesn't. He's just tuning his vocal tract to focus the energy on certain harmonics.

[bustabo23]

@havokbaphomet666 hes singin a root note with his throat and he does armonics using his tongue so he can make armonies using harmonics of the actual root note his singin

[lollerich]

@havokbaphomet666

more like two to four depending on which part of the song

[fuzzwahmrp]

beatutiful music, truly beautiful. He can play his instrument anywhere too.

[flamingpoopbag]

Jimlead you pseudo-intellectual cocksucker get over yourself. Your life is not as important as you think. When you die no one will notice and the world will carry on just fine without you.

[dartagnan1718]

Holy jesuschrist, men!!!

[nadoeloiskat]

Like he's praying or smth.. Way better than Islamic crying from minarets..

[PhilFilth]

Woah, How it does that?  It's like having a flute in you throat

[alvaruto]

joooooooooder yo quiero aprender a cantar asi!!!

[TheGilmer]

Singing overtones feels amazing. Just sit and try to figure it out over a couple of days/weeks. It feels so relaxing; it's like a brain massage.  :P You must try it.

[magosoad]

This man is not whistling, he's doing armonics!!! Incredible!

[silverbatwing]

Very ethereal and beautiful. Very mesmerizing... like tuning into vibrational tones of the earth.

[yladoma]

Have you ever seen Peter Brook's movie entitled MEETING WITH REMARKABLE MEN

[AromaticDogwood]

sounds like he's summoning a ufo

[Jimlead]

It's not beauty, its a law. If you throw a pen it will fall.

[fuzzwahmrp]

@Jimlead wtf's that supposed to mean?

[Jimlead]

@fuzzwahmrp Sorry about my stupid comment. I meant that the harmonics are smth natural.

[modify91]

one word for it : Beautiful

[thomaski]

bireli lagrene

[TheAlex8675309]

I've been trying to pull this off for quite a while.. I can get a little but not like this..

[Plaguemix]

@TheAlex8675309 same thing here!

[dleesnuts]

producing an overtone while singing is a lot easier than it looks, although doing it to his degree of control takes much practice. consider this video... /watch?v=xbABCgStl5Y

[lillterror]

fred durst is better than this guy

[iDarkRed]

@lillterror Agreed. :)

[astanaarcommander]

..... it speaks to my soul....  and it give's some energy in my backbone ^^

[xzanthius]

I was pretty good at it after two years of practice... not as good as those guys though... but getting there. I met them, they and very cool, down to earth people.

[Brennna]

This guy is amazing. Best one I've heard.

[tdbsnr]

Extraordinary. Wierd. Fascinating, but very very hard to do - and definitely in the 'special interest' category for most people. Thus speaks one ole greybeard folk enthusiast.

[ibizamasala]

maravilloso que riqueza la variedad LA tierra es rica y ricos los que vivimos en ella.

gracias

[vincentXXX666]

SOUNDS LIKE PURE DETH METAL MAN !YEAH

[AeqVadis]

@vincentXXX666

actually u are a pretty darn idiot. stay that way!

[HalfFlask]

@vincentXXX666

"death" it has an "A" in it, you would not understand.

[hbbvivo]

i wish i knew how to do this...sounds amazing

[Burdell22000]

[mitsuda]

This dude is a beast-- I wish I could train under him.

[kraeckelium]

Atlanta Sports Fan I mean come on, check his name haha that says enough I hope.

[tierrakiwi]

[ninlandon]

[jennaofthecuckooclan]

These guys really put the huur in huuuuuuuuuuur

[AsTrAlGoA]

Incredible!

[jesusfreak0818]

mongolians. wow, the first time i saw heard live throat singing, i was amazed, and it's cool to see it out there. i hope it doesn't become a totally lost art.

plus one of my favorite rikishi (sumo) was a mongolian. so they seem to have some skills over there in mongolia!

[TurdMcMuff]

this is legit

[LegallyDownloaded]

This is really very hard to copy. I tried and ended up tearing up my throat. The overtone is just perplexing. I can kinda sorta make the noise with my tongue, but I sure can't control it.

[kargyraa1]

@LegallyDownloaded U can't reach that sound and the control if u don't have basics. It's not a joke,even if it should seem simple ; u'll be able to sing like that after 3/4 yrs may be...if u stay involved on it. Surf the net, there are lot of nice sites about how to learn to throat sing..enjoy !

[finding0]

@kargyraa1 I wouldn't say it takes that long. Im self tought. Ive been practicing daily for about 7 months now. Im not this good but im not that far behind. But I don't know maybe I have a natural thing for it?

[DocusMilim]

skatepark ich glaub das wird dene von klein beigebracht!! aber kann man bestimmt lernen!!

that´s great i like that!! i got a goose skin!! ^_^

[SkateparkTV]

können das nur mongolen??ich kann es nicht :D

[SkateparkTV]

können das nur mongolen??

[bluepassionGR]

Feels like the mongolian air of the stepas singing in your ear

[delisonbor]

wow :O 

[54041]

absoloutly freakn amazing

[whoaitsjo]

truly amazing!

[rseabrease]

Your music is so incredibly comforting. I love how it relates to your country and to your culture. As I listen to your music my mind clears and I find myself in relaxed consciousness where thoughts transcend reality. I close my eyes and allow my mind to flow into your music and your music into my soul. Thank you, thank you so much for this wonderful music. In this hectic world you are a garden of peace.

[TranceManiac4life]

I get almost hypnotised and frozen by this beautiful singing, it is beautiful the way it allows the mind to be carried away...if you allow it.

[Kattonfo79]

Táltosok előre!

[ZacTheOneAndOnly]

The progression on how we can utilize the voice is outstanding. Throat singing has moved into oure physical interpretation of music and melody.

[drearyvintage42]

This was one of the most amazing live shows I've ever seen, and I've seen everything from Elvis to Iggy Pop.

[dmonofpeac]

This is awesome

[UNCRatDog]

How the hell does he do that?! Holy shit...I love it!!

[somesz83]

HAIL BROTHERS!!!! 

[AtlantaSportsFan]

rap? I don't even listen to rap i told you idiots i listen to real music that involves instrumentals like guitars and drums... so the idiot that said i bet he thinks rap is real music needs to read my comments... now go listen to some real shit like double bass

[prinznevsky]

@AtlantaSportsFan It is a very different type of music, that is very hard to comprehend for most people. The thing is, you have to realize there is an entire world of people who develop music on their own terms, in their own culture, outside of western music. All these people are insulted you don't like this, but at the same time, you know what you like, right? Don't insult a different type of music because you don't understand it.

[prinznevsky]

@prinznevsky Appreciate it for what it it is. If it doesn't move you, so be it, and move onto something that does. Don't insult it by claiming it's "not music". It's ALL music; Bathory to Barry Manilow, Slim Whitman to Sly and Robbie, Lady GaGa to Ladytron

Huun Huur Tu to, (well shit, what fits?) Husker Du...

[ETSubmariner]

Overtone is the basis of all language no matter the language.
