The Hu
Throat Singing and Rock from Mongolia
A name inspired from the Huns, metal, Mongolian throat singing, with the perfect blending of rock and traditional Mongolian instruments, The Hu are a must listen for any music fan.
They raid from the Asian steppes and bring with them refreshing tunes, and the unique blend of music. Energetic songs like Yuve, Yuve, Yu, and the wildly popular Wolf Totem are prime examples of The Hu’s excellence. They get their name from the Hunnu Empire, which in the west is referred to as the Huns. They refer to their music as “Hunnic Rock,” Mongolian folk musical instruments and techniques expertly fused with rock. Throwing in Mongolian war cries, and poetry, with references to history’s greatest conqueror Genghis Khan, The Hu are pioneering Hunnic Rock into the global mainstream. Furthermore, their work has inspired many to take a dive into the steppe’s musical traditions and culture. Music is a global language, and the ambassador of humanity; The Hu’s success is a reminder of this, and hopefully this will inspire many others from across the global cultural tapestry to share their unique treasures with the rest of us.
