So I found something...
« on: December 01, 2018, 09:25:19 AM »
I found this article on line, and it was very interesting.
It's about a Mongolian Rock band. Yeah...I was like what?
But I read it, and then I watched the videos.

So this is from the article - I'll post the link at the end if anyone wants to read it.

"Four guys looking like warriors from another age playing wildly ornate instruments against a rugged backdrop of Eurasian wilderness—the video is visually stunning. The music is at once alien and familiar. The hooks and the driving beat are pure rock and roll while the instrumentation and vocals are something that many in the west will find entirely new."

"The vocals include what is known as Mongolian throat singing. I don't know how it's done but it doesn't sound easy. It reminds me of the vibrating drone of an aboriginal didgeridoo except there's no instrument involved. It's fascinating.
The HU released another video yesterday for a song called Wolf Totem. The band is surrounded by an imposing crew of Mongolian bikers who evoke the fierce warrior horsemen of old."


Tuchuk is based off the Mongolian culture, and that's why I found this so fascinating.
The video for "Wolf Totem" made it easy to imagine our Warriors readying themselves for war. 
Watch for yourselves!

And as hard and even painful as that throat singing looks, man I'd love to try it.... Wolf Totem would indeed be awesome to prep for war, and Yuve Yuve Yu almost sounds like something to take into battle *w*
