Mongoliaon stage since 2016Discography and aboutAbout The HU
The HU, a Mongolian folk metal band formed in 2016, has carved a unique niche in the global music scene with their distinctive "hunnu rock" sound. The band's name, derived from the Mongol word for "human," reflects their deep connection to their cultural heritage. They skillfully blend traditional Mongolian instrumentation, including the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) and tovshuur (two-stringed lute), with the powerful resonance of Mongolian throat singing.
Their music often incorporates ancient Mongolian war cries and poetry, drawing inspiration from the Hunnu, an ancient nomadic empire also known in Western culture as the Xiongnu. This fusion of ancient traditions and modern heavy music has captivated audiences worldwide.
The HU gained significant international attention in the autumn of 2018 with the release of two YouTube videos: "Yuve Yuve Yu" and "Wolf Totem." By November 2020, these videos had collectively surpassed 100 million views. Their impact on the music charts was equally impressive. On April 11, 2019, "Wolf Totem" soared to the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, marking a historic moment as The HU became the first Mongolian musical act to top a Billboard chart. "Yuve Yuve Yu" also achieved success, reaching No. 7 on the same chart, while "Wolf Totem" debuted at No. 22 on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart.
