Wolf Totem.
8 Sep 2022 05:12 pmSome of my friends here might remember that my husband and I are big fans of Mongolian group The Hu.
So when S2C showed me this you can imagine how happy I was!
It is a massed group dance using traditional moves and gestures - and then sort of expanded. Although it says it is a 'flashmob' I would think that is not exactly the right description, as there were clearly people waiting to see it - but it is fabulous.
There are verses in the song that speak of them coming like great birds, and of them riding over the steppes, and you can see this in the dancers. And no, I don't speak Mongolian, but I have seen the original video of the song Wolf Totem, and it had a translation.
