In a statement that follows The HU\u2019s Artist for Peace recognition, the UNESCO outlines why they chose the group: \u201cThe HU\u2019s musical style and ideas immediately resonated with UNESCO&#8217;s values and work. Founded in 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, The HU, who have thousands of fans around the world, have created a unique musical genre they call &#8220;Hunnu Rock.&#8221; It fuses rock and heavy metal with styles of traditional Mongolian music, such as the art of Kh\u00f6\u00f6mei (throat singing), the tsuur flute and the Morin Khuur (horse-headed fiddle), all of which have been inscribed by UNESCO on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mongolian heavy metal band \u201cThe HU\u201d have been honored by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in being selected as an Artist For Peace.
