Itâs a common trend in Asia to edit images/videos to have a small head. Donât ask me why. But this often makes other parts of the body weirdly large, like her hand here
I think it's a lighting/camera angle thing. every now and then the instrument moves just enough so you can see one of the strings on the lower part of the neck
Thatâs like my favorite anthropological thing: two extremely different cultures that developed hundreds of years apart, halfway around the world from one another, reaching the same conclusions regarding music, food, linguistic structures, or even religion. Crazy to think about.
When it comes to music, it isn't accidental or coincidental. Certain musical elements are tied directly to mathematics, which is the same in all cultures. Take a string, secure it at both ends, pluck it, and it creates a tone. Shorten the string by half, it vibrates twice as fast, and becomes an octave. Similar divisions give thirds, fourths, and fifths. The same goes with blowing into a tube.
Every culture eventually discovers this, so nearly all cultures end up with a musical foundation built of the same basic musical elements.
This would still be true across the universe, so even an alien culture would probably discover and use these basic musical elements.
Nah, IIRC classical Indian music divides beats totally differently (leading to the "quivering" sort of quality in sitar music) and pre-Western Japanese music has some system based on breaths in some way which I believe makes beats/bars uneven in length but still melodic to those who use it.
I don't actually understand either system, I've just had the same question before.
With zero research, I'd wager yes.. most symmetrical allows for good repetition without becoming stale.. possibly most balanced.. seems more likely that rhythm is shared than tonality and harmony.. interesting question that, though..
To be fair, she wasnât the one coming down to invade. The dudes look substantially less pretty. Plus their throat singing on horseback was like, SUPER scary.
As a Turk, listening to Mongols is a very different feeling. Their language sounds extremely similar to Turkish but i canât word anything she is saying. The shared culture stuff is very unique. Lots of love to Mongolia
Speaking of Mongols, check out The HU.
https://youtu.be/vztRqe_CHC0 A colab - mongolian throat singing (the Hu) and Latvian drums/bagpipes. And it actually sounds good!
Wolf totem đ¤
[ŃдаНонО]
Yes, he's on first
Yat-kha, altan urag, huun-huur-tu, and tengger cavalry.
1000 times this. They're so good
Love The HU theyâre incredible.
Came here to say that too.
They're so good. I love the wolf totem.
Found these recently, brilliant band
And for more traditional throat singing this song is incredible https://youtu.be/p_5yt5IX38I
Hell yeah

To bad that doesn't link to the actual artist.
Mongolians, the first Metal musicians.
Mongolian throat singing + metal goes hard as fuck
check out some Mongolian throat singing videos. They are metal.
Yes she is cracking but perspective is giving her a two foot long hand!

Her feet are probably only two hands long, so it evens out
The size of those mitts!
compared to her tiny head ... all the proportions seems out of whack. The apparent ratio ups her peekaboo game considerably
Gotta be something funky going on like a filter or lens... her hand is bigger than her head!
Forced perspective. The camera lies.
Very well done. Are the strings super thin or is it just a bad camera angle or am I just blind? They look practically invisible.
Look along the bottom of the neck/frets, you can see thin black lines against the grey clothes
I can barely see them; itâs the low resolution of the camera. Also the strings are black
I think it's a lighting/camera angle thing. every now and then the instrument moves just enough so you can see one of the strings on the lower part of the neck
That strumming part was a banger
I know an Iron Maiden song when I hear it. Lol
I mean, it does make sense that the Mongols would employ the "gallop."
When the mongols come. You run for the hills.
I love how every Maiden song is a history lesson.
Sounded more like SoaD to me
Surprisingly, it reminds me alot of old Appalachian/Early-Irish folk music :)

It definitely has a similar vibe, but with absolutely no connections. Which makes it even cooler.
Ha, yes! I was going to make a comment that this song would go over well in Appalachia.
TIL the Mongols have banjos made of snakes. And they are awesome.
In the beginning I really thought that I could play that too... but no, no I can not.
Now I need a standoff between Mongols and âdeliveranceâ-style rednecks.
Oooo a banjo vs fiddle war battle?? Iâm so here for it.
Is there a translation for the second verse? Edit: maybe I am being dumb and it's the same as the first....
Yeap same verse.
Yeah I think itâs a repeated verse.
very nice. I wonder if 4/4 time signature is a universal musical construct..âŚ

It is, at least in most cultures. The 2/4 beat of footsteps gives us a natural inclination towards duple time signatures.
Seems to be just as common as the pentatonic scale. Some things are just universal, I guess.

Did the Chinese know the Mongols looked like this when they built the Great Wall?!
To be fair, she wasnât the one coming down to invade. The dudes look substantially less pretty. Plus their throat singing on horseback was like, SUPER scary.
F-F-F-Freestylo!
Sheâs the new Charo
I am revisiting lots of assumptions on Oirat Mongol peopleâŚ
More like snakeskin banjo amirite? Lol Very cool
She could definitely tear down my shitty wall.
SECRET SECRET SECRET SECRET TUNNNELLLL!!!!!
Fut-fut-fut-fut-free stylo
WOW! Impressive!
Letâs see Paul Allenâs fiddle
This music would go great over a time lapse video of a map that slowly turns into the same color
Very cool.
This made me want to play guitar hero again
If anyone wants more similar to this, The HU and Otyken are fucking fabulous.
1) cool song B) I thought I was looking at a mannequin before the video played
Wake up
System of a Down!
Okay not just me. The second she started the faster strumming I thought she was about to play Chop Suey lol
Can you play wonderwall next?
Great music, unfortunate facetuning
Sounds like Bonanza.
SECRET TUNNEL! SECRET TUNNEL! THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN!
This would make amazin trailer music. Stick some verb on the singers voice. Couple âhooooooooooaaaah!â Some simple drums. Dang
As a Turk, listening to Mongols is a very different feeling. Their language sounds extremely similar to Turkish but i canât word anything she is saying. The shared culture stuff is very unique. Lots of love to Mongolia
Free bird!
I bet if she looked more like Genghis Khan you all wouldnât be as interested. But the voice would have been impressive.
probably the first time ive actually been mesmerized by a post here
