Like this one..

In western world, the most popular Mongolian music from Russian-Tuva Huun-Huur-Tu band.

After 1700, Russia conquer all the North Asian nomad, and eat a lot of Mongolian territories. After 1860, Russia let Qing dynasty give them a lot of Northeast and Northwest territories. U.S.S.R let Mongolia Independent and Mongolia become their vassal. Therefore, nowadays Russia have some great Mongolian music band.

Because Russia conquer Tuva in 1914. They can easily spread their music in western world.

Tuvan throat singing was found by a Russian.

So throat singing be called Tuvan throat singing in English

In fact, throat singing is a nomad singing style. Chinese historical book recorded that Xiongnu(Huns) already has throat singing.

So throat singing popular in Russian, Mongolia, China(Inner Mongolia province), Central Asia(Historical reason)

There are some beautiful throat singing songs in Mongolia and China, but western people don't know it.----because these songs don't have English name.

I have listened a lot of throat singing songs, I think the best singing throat song is a Manchu throat singing song.
The name is "Manchu Music---Xibe(Chinese Ethnicity) Girl---满族音乐---锡伯姑娘 "
You can find it on YouTube, this Manchu throat singing is high pitch-throat singing.

There are two types of throat singing. One is high pitch-throat singing, another is low pitch-throat singing. Your YouTube video is low pitch-throat singing.

Btw, the most popular Huun-Huur-Tu music is
huun huur tu & carmen rizzo - ancestors call (eternal)
Huun Huur Tu & Carmen Rizzo - Orphaned Child
Huun Huur Tu & Carmen Rizzo - In Search of a Lost Past
Carmen Rizzo & Huun Huur Tu - Mother + Taiga
..........................................
You can copy the name of these 4 songs and find it on YouTube. (Maybe you know it)

I think their(Huun-Huur-Tu) music is the Mongolian epic music. However, there are many beautiful Mongolian music you can't find on YouTube and western music website.

I'll talk about Mongolian music style, trait and instrument later, I still want to talk about Manchu music first.
