After releasing their debut album to international acclaim, Mongolia’s ‘The Hu’ rock band recently finished their first ever tours of Europe and the USA. Now, once again, they will be rocking the UK, the US and the rest of the world; for the first time, the group has Ireland in its sights. With their first ever Irish dates, tickets are already sold out.

‘The Hu’ hit number 21 on the UK Top 40 last year with the release of their debut album ‘The Gereg’ – a first for any Mongolian act.

Musically, the quartet’s unique ‘hunnu’ sound is a mesh of rock/metal dynamics, khoomei-style throat singing and traditional Mongolian horsehead fiddles (morin khuur), lute (topshur) and flute (tsuur).

The band – Galbadrakh ‘Gala’ Tsendbaatar, lead throat singing/morin khuur, Enkhasaikhan ‘Enkush’ Batjargal, lead morin khuur/throat singing, Nyamjantsan ‘Jaya’ Galsanjamtsa, jaw harp/tsuur/flute/throat singing, Temuulen ‘Temka’ Naranbaatar, topshur/backing vocals – first rose to international fame last year when the videos for their songs ‘Wolf Totem’ and ‘Yuve Yuve Yu’ became a viral sensation, racking up millions of views online.

In 2020, the group will also be visiting Australia and Japan.
