'Эзир-Кара' - Tuvan Folk Song (Ezir-Kara)

Ezir-Kara was the name of a horse in the 30s that always came first in horse racing events, he was said to be the fastest horse in the history of Tuva. Coincidentally the owner of Ezir-Kara was arrested during the political repressions of the 30s, but the horse managed to escape, so the horse is seen as a symbol of Tuvan independence from tyranny

Tuva trying not to drop a banger, IMPOSSIBLE

[mileshill]

There’s something beautiful about a song that essentially just boils down to “you should’ve seen how cool this horse was”. I hope Ezir-Kara knew how beloved it was.

I love how central asian music usually has the beat that sounds like a horse galloping

[theuralictribes]

I never get tired of listening to these types of songs they are so epic like too bad they arent used in movies and series enough.

Tuvans trying not to make the most fire music in Asia:

[Dodododifogugytgggggggtgtttttt]

Why can’t the music industry accept this masterpiece?

[mtathos_]

there's the song on spotify, never thought I'd see it here, thank you khusugtun to opening me up to this great world

[jorgejohnson]

First time I heard this song, was on Spotify random suggestions while I was running. This shit made me fucking sprint the last lap of my 5 mile run, and now that I know what it's about it's even better.

Babe wake up, new Tuvan song just dropped

[rachidmasimov]

I am Uighur, with 40% Tuvan DNA, according to the genetic test )). Absolutely amazing! thanks for posting it. It's the cultural heritage and treasure for the whole mankind.

[tribaounidadedonstania]

tuvans never fail to make bangers like this 🔥

[alejandrochalco]

I will never understand how a single small country reliably produces absolute bangers.

But I am not complaining, long live Tuva.

[REEEPROGRAM]

The Masculine urge to become a Tuvan hearing Tuvan Folk songs is.. *Quite POWERFUL*

[yankee]

It’s so weird to get Mongol, Turkic and Russian vibes all from the same song. I love it

[MrSharpClaw]

I love this song gets into the ear and feels as if your in the saddle.

[Eizolix]

I find it amazing how diverse the cultures of the Earth are. And all of them have their own great songs with meaning to them. Thank you for Collecting all those and bringing them out into the World!👍

0:48 I Love his voice, It's just amazing. I don;t know how to describe this.

[Viktor-kbpx]

Oh how I love Tuvan and Mongolic songs in general, never disappoints

[megakillerx]

I just realised that almost every steppe-based music I’ve come across uses the same rhythm. Like the galloping of a horse.

Because sources are never posted in the descriptions, I did some digging and found the source of this particular recording. This is by the Marmota Band (旱獭乐队) and is off their self-titled debut album from 2017 as the leading track. The rest of the album and, of course, the rest of their music is fascinating. They are on Spotify, too, and are a great band as their purpose is to preserve folk music in and around Mongolia (they are a Mongolian band, even if the song itself is Tuvan) because of the risk of cultural loss over time in the frontier of the country.
