Mongolian national instrument Horse Fiddle

[Lu3Zak]

Mongolian music so different, from any other I have heard...

cannot compare, but I simple like it...

[buttzone]

The Title of that song is called "Uulen Bor", or "Cloud Brown" in English.

[vaibanez17]

Their national costumes are bad ass.

[mij194]

It sounds like horses.

[MrZeroTerrorRide]

this video has three dislikes! why would someone dislike this?

[xPixax]

simplemente "wow"

[th3w01fv2]

Hmmm Horse fiddle vs the American Diddly bow? That would be an interesting musical "challenge" hehe

[irfiamdevilful]

i love this music its beutiful but if i listen to this mor than 5 minutes ill probably throw up no offense

[synthezer]

Beautiful and the horse whinny at the end is excellent. Great music

[kurrizzle]

@all the people wondering why there are negative comments:

People just trollin'. They may be stemming off from 4chan; they would post something like this just to make fun of it. Move along, nothing to see.

Enjoy your music without insecurities.

[GuamKomudo]

This is really awesome! I like how I thought this instrument would be really basic and simple because it has two strings, but i is awesome =D

[Fishroads]

that looks very difficult to play and definitely sounds like a horse, great

[nayanmgl]

nuruunii us bostol huurddag bgaadaa minii 2 duu chini

[CoyMEX]

this instrument is beautiful,greetings to all mongolians from mexico.

[nayanmgl]

@CoyMEX tnx man

[MrSpecialwords]

this is mongolian national musical instrument. it's 2 strings are made of horse's hair. hearing this u will feel like horse galloping on the mongolian steppe. but if u haven't visited that country u mayn't understand and feel it.

[sunasunacroc]

@DRAGOVODA fuck u, archeologists revealed that it was first invented by Huns (Mongolian ancestors)

fuck iran and persia!!!~!

[ROUME89]

japanese folk music is far better...

[ElenaLovett]

@ROUME89

hey shut up!

[Fishroads]

@ROUME89

japanese folk song isnt bad, but there is much more than always japanese, open your eyes

[kpll1]

iam not surprised to see some negative comments.

this is very lovely music lets try to enjoy this music

good man can only ignore barking dogs.

people are people no matter where they are from.

[StradAmatiViolin]

I have never seen those kind of instruments. :D

[Disfrigginguy]

wow simply awesome sound and a great video. I am no expert on music but I can definitely feel like I am either riding a horse or watching people riding a horse and galloping across the plains, by the way this tune is arranged. I am not sure the name of this tune, but that is the impression that I got.

[kazuchiyo]

Beautiful. I'm just in awe at the skill here.

[arkhatych]

Beautiful, Beautiful! Nice & calming melody!

[blackbudge]

lol some guy sees this instrument being played by the Mongols and light bulb flashes and he comes up with violin

it looks like a square violin with 2 strings =D

[Sercan1995]

that horse sound in the end was genial!

[Enkhbeatz]

uuulen bor laajiinaaaa laita laitai 5 star

[ganaa1974]

[ganaa1974]

I've been playing this for 8 months.

[sarimsok]

wow that was amazing

[HULAGUKAGAN]

5*****

[pisdaaaaa]

dragovoda you just a hater everyone knows that the morin huur is from mongolia!!

[kimonocat001]

amazing! i wish i knew how to play one! 5/5

[abilguun]

Iran??? Are you kidding??? frigging persians are the biggest losers. Always lost, Mongolia fucked you in your ass and US, what a shame

[TurkcuDirenis1518]

very good. 5 *

[erodizm]

GodDamn MONGOLIANS!!!!

[yontog]

???? what do you mean??? r u angry about?

[pisdaaaaa]

now those are mongolian people u can just tell by the beautifull sound.!!!the chinese bitches who tries to play this makes horable sound!!!unlike this!!!

[AARONL8]

sound is so good

[Urdunchimeg]

so beautiful, I adore this music, im sorry to see that there are negative comments on this video as in many other mongol videos. Some people need to learn the splendors of this mongol civilization and to be more tolerant of other people's ways. And if they dont like it then let them just not watch the video instead of posting negativly and ruining it for those who love this music!

[Urdunchimeg]

the more strings, the easier it is to make music...the less strings the harder. Just like trumpet, it is harder than many instrument because you have to create an entire musical scale with only 3 keys.

[urnaa0930]

are you guys american

[Syllbaba]

that's why it's easier to learn 'your' instruments. They need to learn how to make different sounds with only two strings...ya never heard of violin I guess...less strings, harder to learn (like the hardest ocarina is the one with 2-4 holes not the one with 6-8)

[ruffagii]

@Syllbaba did u know that horse fiddle was the parent of a violin, europeans got their idea from horse fiddle, wiki this

[Cheerok]

@Syllbaba yeah its like people who dont understand why a shamisen is harder to learn than a western guitar

[Cheerok]

@Cheerok for those who dont know  this is a shamisen /watch?v=w5rs7pfZuPs

[jakyb0y2]

@Cheerok it's not. it's morin khuur from mongolia

[Cheerok]

@jakyb0y2 I know i replied to my own comment i compared the level of difficulty of those two instruments and the link is to explain people what i compare it too.

[princessxoxomelody]

Cool

[ser11maggie]

miss the music, culture and the contry.. awesome

[worldmusicfan]

this is badass!

[maddanana]

I play the morin huur..not well but as good as I can

[ironman36]

this music makes me want to drink fermented mares milk.

[maddanana]

mmmmm kumiss!

[ironman36]

a.k.a. Monglian breast milk.

[amgalanbator]

I love it, just love it.

[matthew1906]

I have read that more Mongolian songs are about a man's devotion to his horse than are about a man's love for a woman. My kind of place. I have a scar on my leg from a horse that threw me. A woman did me some harm on occasion as well. ...I still say kind words about the horse.

[pisdaaaaa]

dude u my kind of guy!!!!

[rakkav]

It sounds as if they had a bit of trouble centering on their native tuning at first, but otherwise -- that was exquisitely evocative! Like the old Irish with the harp, so the Mongolians with the fiddle: one should be in every home.

[DawaDongrub]

this is lovely! Mash saihan bain!

[blogbat]

Wow. As a horse-owner and a cellist I am just in awe. This is why I love Mongolian music and I could listen to these guys all day.

[rakanzrib]

EXACTLY, thanks tomberntson; its called CULTURAL RELATAVISM people!

[rakkav]

I disagree. This is high culture, period. "Cultural relativism" implies the naturalistic fallacy (what is, is valid). Every culture has its perversities, including our own; and not every culture has to have our culture's strengths in order to be valid.

[tomberntson]

that is absolutely awesome! Just hearing it brings to mind horses, the rythm of the hooves and breathing...you people that say this sucks have never ridden a horse obviously

[SARE128]

I like it.

[alvincay100]

The livestock are crying because it hurts their ears, not because they understand it!

[bilgyynei]

you are a poor excuse of a human being. Just get the hell out please.

[Coconutpro]

gotta check out "Vampire - Out of the Coffin"

[alvincay100]

Thanks for the headache.

[LoneHarper]

I've long been an Irish fiddle connoissuer, but these guys just blew me away! Thank you for bringing something new and so wonderful into my musical experience.

[sniper500]

wow they are good but i hate america for that reason we dont have culture its just a bunch of stolen and destroid cultures due to the early settlers but i guess when we kill peoples cultures it just becomes a part of ours

[gtoland]

Another example of the value of the internet. Many of us from around the world are shown something of beauty and value from a culture that we would otherwise be totally ignorant of. Also, a video like this becomes one more archive. Of course the best archive of any culture is it's perpetuation in the hearts and performances of subsequent generations. When we no longer have anyone who can do a live performance of this music and it is ONLY in video archives we will be forever poorer. Thank you.

[loveableforeva]

mongolian pride all the way i got one of those horse fiddles at home but no one in my house knos how to play it lol its really hard i tried

[koreanweed]

nice

dey got skillz

[ThatsNotMud]

First talent I've seen on YouTube in weeks. Kudos.

[clairwenborn]

thats where 'apocolyptica' got their sound from then? and i always thought it was metallica.

[cradlefilthy]

That's brutal!!! Sounds like Ensiferum. I love it!

[BillLancaster]

search "billlancaster" on your utube search engine

[Saiaopinoi]

I do love native Asian music. Period. From the steppe of Mongolia to the palaces of ancient China, Korea and Japan to Buddhist music of Bhutan and the marching bands of the Arabs. To the gong musics of Indonesia, Philippines and MAlaysia to the classical music India-style---Asian music are very interesting and distinct.

[eyepoo]

Having played an instrument with four strings and not having been able to get any result a fraction as beautiful and interesting as this, I am deeply impressed by how much skill these musicians have. It's great to see instruments uninfluenced by the western standard!

[SloopJon]

Big ups for sharing this culture with us!

[turbold1]

sain bain. good job.

[24v7v420]

Why is there so little of this music properly recorded and mixed? Most of the recordings are just recorded with the camcorder mic in a room with less than good acoustics.

[bamaa4141]

world best music!

[kaliyarivet]

Awesome! Mongolian music is awesome!
