In addition, ‘The Hu’ has been listed in 21^st position in the Billboard Top 100 Chart.

At present, ‘The Hu’ is touring in North America. They started their epic world tour concert in Europe in June.

The band’s name, “Hu”, is the Mongolian word for human being. The band members call their style “Hunnu Rock” inspired by the Hunnu, an ancient Mongolian empire, known as the Huns in western culture. Some of the band’s lyrics include old Mongolian war cries and poetry.
