Honestly went to a concert for "the hu" Mongolian metal band... amazing
Hanggai also kicks ass, in the rarefied yet delightful niche of Mongolian metal.
Didn't the hu make the opening song for Jedi: Fallen Order?
Totally a great band, I can emulate the singing if I'm drunk enough lol
Also, apparently I've been in Mongolia when I was a child.
They are awesome!
Were you there when you were young?
South of Ulan Ude from what I'm told.
Sorry, I meant to ask "very young"
But yes I was also curious about the area.
Apparently I saw the Grand Canyon in the US when I was 1 year old. I don't think that counts. (:

I can see that, unfortunately I have that curse of remembering pretty much everything. The almost 40 years I've been alive have been... very long.
That's useful though! Do you have the ability to chronologically recall things?
I can remember distinct details, but I have almost no ability to remember when they happened without context clues.
I do and it actually gets annoying because as you get older you start to notice cognitive decline in friends and family. One day, they don't remember what happened and then you realize there's no point in making an argument over it.
Recently, my mom traveled where I lived for a bit with grandma. And this was over thirty years ago, the caveat is that I was roughly 3-4 years old when I lived there and I knew exactly where I was and how things changed over time.
I will say it was probably a weird conversation for my aunt because I could describe everything in the area and bring up old memories--some of which she didn't remember.
Nothing like it on Earth, it is such an incredible sound. It's amazing that the human body can even make it. It feels like the vocal equivalent of people doing the Wrong Warp in Mario 3. Like... how???? You can do that???
