  • The song beginning at about 2:30 is called Öske Cherde, and can be found on their album 60 Horses in My Herd.

  • Hunn Whore 2?

  • this dude would make an excellent death metal vocalist!

  • That's outstanding voice, hypnotizing..like from depths..amazing.

  • thank you for upload this!

  • Being from Mongolian ancestor on my mother side, this music calls me in my heart.

    My bones almost shake.. RECOGNIZING the rythms and sounds. Was once at a performance in Québec to share an evening with this group. I was thrilled !

  • So awesome. Variations of all those instruments are used throughout Asia in folk and traditional music, including in South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan) and Central Asia and Iran. Love seeing the pan-Asian similarities. I'm South Asian.

  • These guys are awesome, we had a throat-singing group visit my high school years back and I bought some of Huun Huur Tu's music right after that. The group had a woman in it, and the tone was the exact same as the men.

  • this is so rad! at first, i thought he said the name was "ONE or TWO", and then when the vocals started i had a flashback from the burping contest in the movie "Revenge Of The Nerds", and then i started getting dizzy.

    as a musician, and a fan of metaphysics, as well as art, i give this video THUMBS UP!

    am i the only one whose teeth went numb listening to the vocals?

  • omg goose bumps all over my skin... great sound, thanks for sharing this..

    it's beautifull

  • ahh god I loved seeing them at folk fest!!!

  • nice, thanks!

  • Man, wish I could learn how to do this.

  • Start it at 2:30 AWESOME !!

  • Love this! Does anyone know the name of the string intrument?

  • Byzaanchy, Doshpuluur, Igil, Topshur... I know Byzaanchy and Igil for sure.

  • I know the 2 stringed one is called the erhu, i'm not too sure about the 4-stringed and the one played like a guitar.

  • @thymurdock The two string fiddle looks more like a banhu, but even that's not quite right. I'll have to look up more Mongolian instruments.

  • @Hikikomori013 Erhu is Chinese. The two-string is called igil.

  • 2:30

    KOCHAM!

  • i hope they will teach next generations so this unique ability wont vanish

  • Thankfully, this is still taught in Tuva, and it also continues through people that teach themselves like me. I won't let this die.

  • Long live Tuvanian Turks!

  • i saw them twice, the first time i was we had some mushrooms. it was truely spiritial, somthing i will never forget. the second time, a couple of years later we saw them totally sober and it was a different experience, but fantastic. definitly worth seeing !

  • i read about these guys in RUSSIAN LIFE magazine and of course came here to youtube to find them. thanks youtube!

    and thanks tantsev too!

  • while i was listenin this...i heard voices...

  • Message from Huun Huur Tu:

    Please check our youtube clip "Huun Huur Tu in Children of the Otter by Vladimir Martynov". It's a promo clip of 77-minute composition for Huun Huur Tu, chamber orchestra, and choir. We just premiered with it last September in Russia

  • they where send from the gods !!!

    ... and they are invulnerable ...

    golden cut engaged - thx for this menkind-worldmusic ... phuuuu like it !!!

  • The difference is that this music has a spiritual resonance with people who are sober whereas gazing into the folds of their pants will not. I have had my days of drugs and alcohol and can honestly say this idea of expanding consciousness and delving into the secrets of the universe via the consumption of drugs is 20th century hokum, coming mostly from people living profoundly aspiritual, pretentious lives, posing as depth and profundity. Sprituality is more than perception and its manipulation

  • an example of perfect thought expression. good comment!

  • Humans have, since the dawn of time, sought ways to alter their perspective on the world around them. be it through dance, songs, drugs, or even self denial (sleep, food, sex, etc.)

    it's only natural, to get stoned and listen to music on youtube. as unnatural as that may sound.

    it's not about "Enjoying life." it's about understanding life, and searching for the answer to the question that drives us all, and yet shall never be answered.

    Ongawesgone; I suggest you eat a pound of mushrooms.

  • I judged no one. It was merely a suggestion to "try" enjoying music/life, without having to get stoned. And since I can honestly say that I've never, in 43 years, been either drunk or stoned, I have a right to my opinion.

  • As inexperienced as that may be?

    I am only referring to you not getting drunk or stoned ever. Your opinion is a little limited in those areas.

    btw I love this music and singing sober as I am now but I bet it would amaze me further if I was high. Please don't take offense I am only adding my opinion.

  • Why can people not enjoy life, without having to drink, smoke or use drugs? I enjoy this music while completely clean and sober.

  • I agree. These guys create a very spiritual atmosphere with their music.

  • Thanks for judging people you don't know, Mr. High and Mighty.

  • this song is FUCKING AMAZING

    i smoked some shit earlier... and i watched this at top volume.. and i watched a video of an african sunrise on mute while i listened....

    AMAZING

  • TÜRK SOYU SAĞ OLSUN!

  • Sorry, but this is not ancestor. Ancestor is very diferent from this piece. The first vocal song is "Prayer", yes, but the second one looks like (I´m not really shure) "Eki Attar", but a slower version than the studio one.

  • the second part is called "oske cerde", so the title on my cd

  • this song is called as "ancestor" (prayer)

  • this is soooooooo fucking AWESOME!!!!!!

  • they are so similar to sardinian's tenores...try to listen sardinian's tenores!!!

  • wow, thats an impressive set of vocal cords......really good music, it makes a chill run down my back

  • What is the title of this song?

  • The song is called "Prayer"

  • what the word mean?

  • 1:06 Magyar ember .... hová me'sz el?

    1:52 majdan őserdőbe.......csavarodott

    Ez is magyar!!!

  • I love Huun Huur Tu but WTF is with their latest crappy electronica/new age? This New Age "fusion" stuff makes me want to hurl.

  • a little folk-nazi thingie?

  • @Ditch2012 - no connection whatsoever dude.. except maybe asia

  • Hare is not where I am.

  • Once I made a comment similar to yours and got myself in a situation suddenly arguing with all these "defenders" of the new world order.

    Please stop intoxicating good traditional music with stoopid house beat or some other genre...

  • please let us decide what we do with our music.

  • I dont let you or dont let you anything, that was my opinion, a way I expressed my attitude towards it..

  • @tantsev you guys rock and I respect all your decisions. I especially love Children of the Otter but I must respectfully say that new age stuff doesn't hold the respect it once did in the 80s in Western society and many people simply write it off. I'd love to see you guys collaborate with some avant garde electronica, or some experimental rock or something though, keep going on with the fusion! just be careful who you give your sound to you guys have lightning in a bottle!

  • @YossarianTheMeerkat

    Man, you REALLY think that Children of the Otter has even a tinge of New Age soapiness? I'd be VERY surprised!

  • @tantsev Ohh nooo no no no noo. Children of the Otter is an example of the right kind of decisions. If I had to classify I'd say classical orchestral fusion. Maybe I didn't word myself properly. Anyone who reads this check out Children of the Otter cause it rocks!

  • @YossarianTheMeerkat

    Children of the Otter will be available pretty soon - on DVD :)

  • All modern music is a fusion of traditional music from around the world. Take a music history class and you will see.

    People will always perform and enjoy the roots of a music, as well as enjoy its fusion into modern. One does not exclude the other.

  • dude, kaigal himself has made music that infuses modern sounds with his tuvan sounds. also, mixing different genres together is the only way that music can progress. in fact, the entire world is based on different cultures mixing together. art, food, clothing, military strategy, everything. do you even play music? do you know how it works? name a genre of music and i will show you that it was invented by mixing other genres together.

  • check out the band's web site - there are three songs from a new album Eternal streaming there. It's the album of collaboration with Carment Rizzo, electronic musician from Los Angeles

  • The song is just called " Prayer". It's from the album "The Orphan's Lament".

  • This song is on the album that they did with Angelite. Fly, Fly my Sadness. It is called Legend.

  • doğru diyorlar

  • i was fucking searching for this for ever !

  • TENGRI TURKU KORUSUN!

  • amin... :D

  • Hi, congrats for your pregnancy!

    keep cool ,stay warm and watch out for the signs

    I wish you all good things of this world!

  • I've discovered I'm pregnant a few weeks ago, I don't know why but I feel this music just the perfect lullaby for the little bean in my belly :)

  • i got to see these guys live! theyre tight!

  • Sounds like Tom Waits on Acid!

  • I can feel my eyeballs shake in their sockets every time I listen.

  • Tuvan? I'm in trans...)))

  • Good voice for Death Metal ,

    also similar Yidaki didjeridoo sounds,

    anyway i appreciate your special art,

    thank you very much tantsev to bring

    this wonder folklore to youtube world.

  • listen the Tenore of Sardegna (cerdena , sardinna), its similar like sistem of sing

  • It's true, it's really amazing how the same technique has developped in such far countries! the Tenores de Orosei made some research on that I think

  • Damn. I wish there was a cRPG with sound track like this. That would have been quite different from all the rest.

  • There is something about this kind of music that I just find *Right* and *Peacefull*.

  • i agree...

    nice.. raw... and earthly. love it!

  • I agree, puts you in touch with the earth I feel, many tuvan and mongolian songs are indeed about nature

  • Tanrı TÜRK'Ü korusun !!!

  • Starting exactly at the middle, I keep hearing this wonderful song. What is the name and is there an english translation where I can see what they are saying? I love TUVA ...awesome !!!!! What a beautiful people...

  • I've done some research and it's called "Aa Shuu de Kei-oo". I'm pretty shure.

  • Ah Shu Deki oo is another song. I believe it's on Orphan's Lament album. GREAT song. I'm trying to find it here on YouTube but came on this first...

  • That was pretty badass.

  • you silly thing, of course they're not Mongolian, they're Tuvan.

    amateurs? i'd love to see your singing up here for some rating. until then, be careful of your karma.

  • @munkhysoyombo - okay then, tell me who you find better? and where can I see or hear them? and if you can do better, i would love to hear it..

  • Lordy, does anyone have a link for the song lyrics??? That songs gonna be in my head all day!!!

  • We wait u in Bucharest, Romania !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sa se gaseasca careva sa-i aduca ca sunt f tari.

  • E un vis...

  • A fost Sainkho Namtchylak in Brasov saptamana trecuta si am ramas uimit si placut incantat de stil, a promis ca va reveni in curand cu cei de la Huun Huur Tu...abia astept!

  • bre, imi explica si mie cineva de ce astia stiu sa ramana in traditzie, si la noi, chiar si Aurel Tamas, sau Clejanii, o iau pe aratura si se cred compozitori, nu mai vorbim de restu lumii manelizate?

  • this is the sound the martian dust storms make on futurama!

  • That's some kick ass kargyraa at 4:39-4:51.

    Nice to see overtone singing in a more (I hate to say musical, but...) musical setting.

  • WOW!!! now that is something else. 10/10

  • Seeing this makes me feel bad about EVERY musical thing I have ever done, because it is not this.

  • this is beautiful; thank you for posting it.

  • I love the style, Yat Kha are similar but a lot more mainstream. Does anyone know the name of this song?

  • The first one is a prayer, and the second one I think is called "Ancestors."

  • The first one I think is simply a demonstration of the different throat singing styles. The second song I know as "Oske Cherde". I think its from their album 60 Horses in My Herd.

  • beaultiful, choking and inspirating, like a voice of a god.

  • no, it is no sow hard to sing that)) It is deep-throat vocal. Practice and you will)) I study this 2 years.

  • please, not all americans are cultureless gay pigs. at least i'm not. gshssmitty certainly is (and more).

    i happen to love this stuff...and recognize the training and talent behind it.

    this is five-star material.

  • Um, where did you gather he was American?

  • Cool songs :D. Definitely a style I've never heard before. Neat :)

  • I'm speaking to my self yaaaaaaaaaaay!

  • Behold the power of the Ju Ju. These guys are fu***** wizards, they're gonna rip a hole in the time-space continueum with that stuff.

  • Wow! I'm gonna show this to everybody!

  • sono fenomenali

  • cool shit!!

  • I hope this clarifies some points >> watch?v=izuEJfOlHd0 thanks for your patience now back to throat singing.

  • Mongol comes from Temuchin's tribe's name Mon Kau, a Turkic people. If you meet a French person in lets say China and the French guy greets us and says hello fellow European, then you say to him No I'm English, isn't that awkward? OK enough of retardedness lets enjoy the music.

  • jasonsagert it shows we are same thing, mongol, tuvan, even, evenk, uzbek, kazak, all turkic.. if you are from that region you know that, but if you are an outsider then you say mongolia is different people, tuva different people, evenk different people etc. That's what I was telling the dude trying to split us up.

  • miighankurt,

    Your point is well taken. However, to use your analogy, while I might have a lot in common with a French person in China, as an American, I wouldn't have much in common with them in France, or Europe for that matter.

    I feel you are over simplifying the idea of "culture" and are arguing a different scale of relatedness than most would.

    But it is a good discussion.

    And Huun Huur Tu rocks.

  • suppper

  • miighankurt,

    What was that video trying to show? That there is a blend and continuum of cultures? A similar adaption to environments?

    The video does not refute the repression of the Tuvan culture under the Soviet regime. Or the Tuvan's connection to the Mongolian traditions

  • Are they using their false chords to make that sound?

  • Thats so crazy! ^^ Its unbelievable how they do that

  • wouww man! i love this voices, I recommend it the cd "fly fly my sadness" from bulgarian voices with huun huur tu, beautiful, beautiful cd!!!!

  • i love "fly, fly my sadness" as well.

    i like this group in general. sarala is amazing.

  • This is so great I love these guys, stoneage techno

  • Wonderful! Call me mad, but I love this band.

  • This is a really good YouTube video of throat singing, and I am adding it to the favorites on my channel.

    I am selecting and compiling a collection of very good throat singing videos on my channel's Favorites, so anyone interested in seeing throat singing videos but not wanting to sort through the good and bad, please visit my Channel Favorites and feel free to subscribe to them to get updates when I add more.

  • Hello Throatsinger, I am also mesmerised by this style of singing, and am absolutely amazed in discovering (just today!!!) that a very very similar thing exists in my country, Italy: look for sardinian "canto a tenores".

    I can mention the groups Tenores di Bitti or Tenores de Orosei.

    You may tell me if the technique is really the same (to my ear it is). Cheers

  • ChiudiLaPorta, thanks for sharing that information. I will search for those groups and find out more about this singing in Italy. It is a deep personal fascination of mine to find unique singing styles from around the world which are not widely known.

  • Hello :-)

    I think you might have a look at this video first: Tenores di Bitti a Belluno 2

    In this clip the singers explain their technique. To my ear the second and third singers actually do throat singing. Tenores de Orosei are perhaps even better than the Tenores di Bitti, because they reach very low tones, just like the HHT.

    I am very curious to have your opinion!

  • Tenores di Orosei, Tenores di Bitti, Tenores di Orgosolo, Su Cuncordu Iscanesu

  • Truly mesmerising.

  • isnt this "osche kerde"?

  • yes, you're right! 2 songs. prayer and osche kerde :)

  • so funny my last name is huun

  • You Turkis from Tueky are dissultioned,

    Let these people make up their own minds on their identity.

    You should concentrate on your country.

    Also Tannu Tuva used to be part of Mongolia called Uriankha pronvince or aimag as we call it.

    Thousands of Tuva's have married with Mongols and they migrated into Mongolia every year as there is no border problems. Let them live their own lifes man

  • MongolTiger watch this then talk: watch?v=q6hmoROFxOk

  • I have seen them a couple of years ago in a very small concert in germany and it was simply mindblowing. Seriously if you ever get the chance to see them live, don´t miss it. It´s so inspiring and full of some hard to describe ancient power. Lots of respect....

  • Simply amazing.

  • They are really great!)

  • I've got the albums, but need translations of the lyrics..any idea? David

  • It's usually pretty easy. The songs are generally about grass, rivers, or horses.

  • That's right..or girls, but I'm interested in the real tranlation so we can play this particular song in our celtic band..thanks for the reply

  • Teñri Türk'ü korusun.

  • ellerinize sağlık içimizde binyıldır saklı olan hisleri hatırlattı gözlerimiz doldu.

  • Rather than offering to rip them off with your illegal downloads why not encourage people to buy their CD. If you like their music buy it!

  • cool ^^ i like this...

    Sevdim bunu devam ;)

  • Awesome stuff - who knew throat singing could be so engaging...!

  • Bayaaa güzelmiş...

  • oo dehşetmişlan... Adamın kor valla xD Favorinize ekleyinlan goduklarım...

  • TURAN FOREVER

  • Why Turan???

  • to arzhaanas: did you mean 'Tuvan'?

  • I meant Turan, because I tried to reply to someone's post but it put my reply this place))) I am Tyvan)

  • wow. i tried a lesson in throat singing. takes a lot of practice.

  • Groups like the Tuvans and Yakuts do also speak Turkic languages, but culturally they are far from modern Turks; they were more influenced by Mongolian and other cultures. But even in modern Turkey, there are groups that preserve many elements of their pre-Islamic culture. Tuvans, Kazakhs, Uzbeks etc. mostly don't call themselves "Turks" and don't like being called that, but certainly recognize their common roots. Still no average Turk could understand Tuvan without lots of study.

  • Just to add a bit of clarity...? There is a difference between "Turkish" and "Turkic" and the question is as much political as ancestral. The people mostly known as Turks today came in several migrations from Central Asia but there was also a lot of Turkification, which is the reason most Turkish-speaking people don't look Asian. Some do. The Soviets certainly did divide people like Uzbeks, Uighurs, Karakalpaks etc. who were united by a single written language, Chagatay.

  • I saw them recently and they were AMAZING!!

  • just beutifull

  • kol

  • Please don't spam this great video with bad comments.

  • please shut up. you are just as foolish as him

  • you are an ignorant idiot

  • They're NOT Turkish. Get over it.

  • yeah, they are from Tuva i believe. In russia, iirc

  • Yeah, I know. It borders Mongolia.

    TUVA ≠ TURKEY

    That means not equal to, for you retards.

  • a.q sapık lan bunlar biz de BOZKURTUZ TÜRKÜZ AMA bunalrın türk olduğunu sanmıoyorum a.q böyle şamanistlerin de atsızcıların da a.q

  • This is almost too good to be believed! And a great introduction to the music of Southeastern Russia (and Mongolia?). The diversity of music in the world stuns me; thanks for posting.

  • interesting...
