Guest: Kip Hutchins, Graduate Student, Department of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin-Madison A band called The Hu has racked up more than 13 million views for their first two music videos on YouTube in the last few months. Not The Who –W-H-O. This The Hu -H-U –and they’re a Mongolian heavy metal group. The video shows a motorcycle gang in leathers and bandanas riding across spectacular landscapes while the band plays traditional Mongolian instruments and singing styles. It’s really something to see.
