The Hu, stylized as The HU, is a Mongolian rock band that was formed in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in 2016. Inspired by the long history of their people, the members of the band perform what they call "Hunnu Rock," a style of music named after the ancient Huns that incorporates traditional Mongolian poetry and throat singing into modern-day heavy metal.[1]
The Hu are featured in the 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, in which the game's protagonist Cal Kestis listens to a song performed by the in-universe analog of the band, The Agasar. The members of the band were happy to write for Star Wars, as it was a way to not only live out their childhood dreams but to also explore the themes of their music. One member of the band, Jaya, likened Cal's journey in the game to the band's ideals of bridging the gaps between different times and cultures.[2]
