Otyken means something along the lines of a sacred place where warriors lay down their arms and talk with each other. That's why they were exchanging weapons for instruments at the beginning. Otyken is made up of Siberian indigenous people representing several different tribes. They are geographic neighbors of the Mongolians so it's not surprising that the similar throat singing would be a part of their culture.

Наши девч🎉онки ❤❤❤самые лучшие

I came across this last year and not only did the sound capture me, but the video is so aesthetically pleasing! The ladies are beautiful!!!

Just discovered them a week ago and they just blew my mind! I’m hooked!!👍🏻

Потрясающе, спасибо им за эту музыку, спасибо ведущему за то что освящеет это явление❤🎉!

Folk-pop group Otyken were the guest of honor at the 2023 Grammy Awards. The group had planned to perform in the US in 2023, including on America's Got Talent by invitation from the organizers, but they had to postpone their live performance to 2025. At the end of 2023, at the invitation of the Russian delegation, Otyken performed in Dubai at the UN Climate Change Conference and became the only artists from around the world to take part in this event. The ethnic music group “Otyken” consists of various representatives of the small peoples of Siberia: Chulyms, Kets, Selkups, Khakass and Dolgans. Their main style is a combination of different musical genres with the sound of ethnic instruments and throat singing. This kind of music is called World Music. The tracks are released in Chulym, Khakass, Dolgan and Russian. The group members play both authentic and rare instruments - jew's harp, ikili, khomys - as well as drums, bass guitar, keyboards and saxophone. Throat singing is often combined with recitative. The group films most of their videos outdoors: in the forest, on a frozen river, on mountain tops.

В конце 2023 года, по приглашению российской делегации, Otyken выступили в Дубае на конференции ООН по изменению климата и стали единственными артистами со всего мира, кто принял участие в этом мероприятии. Этническая музыкальная группа «Otyken» состоит из разных представителей малочисленных народов Сибири: чулымцев, кетов, селькупов, хакасов и долган. Их основной стиль - это соединение разных музыкальных жанров со звуком этнических инструментов и горлового пения. Такую музыку называют World Music. Треки выходят на чулымском, хакасском, долганском и русском языках. Участники группы играют как на аутентичных и редких инструментах - варгане, икили, хомысе, - так и на барабанах, бас-гитаре, клавишных и саксофоне. Горловое пение нередко сочетают с речитативом. Большую часть своих клипов группа снимает на природе: в лесу, на замерзшей реке, на вершинах гор.

I'm a New Zealander and found out about Otyken about 2 years ago. Got hooked immediately and am a fan ever since then. They make fantastic music even though no one can understand the language.

Из России с любовью!

Желаю мировой славы Отикен!!!👍👏👏👏

If you liked that one, you'll love the collaboration between Ummet Ozcan and Otyken - it's called "Altay", and is burning up KZfaq right now. Also, the track "Phenomenon" by Otyken is fire - one of their best. Keep up the cool vibe. Peace.

Welcome to the Otyken rabbit hole they are an experience! I found them over a year ago and got hooked

I almost recommended one of their songs to you the other day. KZfaq recommended them to me, too. They're great!

Oh nice! You found Otyken. They’re cool!

Мои землячки❤

OMG you’ve been hitting all of my random ass music tastes lately, did NOT expect to see Otyken over here! Kykakacha and Genesis are my faves by them 😁 also someone else recommended Anoana by Heilung and I definitely agree. Live is great, but I personally love the official video.

This is freaking amazing 🤩 pure gold .! Nature meets holy crap idk . They are just pure talent so glad the world is finding them!! If you aren’t caught dancing you lying 😊

I love this group, they have very good songs and their sound is very interesting 👌🏻

I too just found them so these last couple of days I have been addicted to their sound…I have never like metal or have been to a rave and if they were playing I’d get my 70 yr old white ass there…loving you too♥️🌀yep Siberian …that is why it is so additive to me

Otuken is a musical group from Siberia, Russia. Greetings from Siberia. Happy New Year 2024!

Yup, Otyken is a great rabbit hole to fall into, lots of very good videos, and the music just works.

I was at their concert. They are really awesome

I recently started listening to them. I've been bangin their music for a whole week nonstop. What led me to them was HEILUNG!

Crazy, beautiful, amazing otyken❤

Great band just discovered them! Cheers!🎉

Bra.. stumbled on my self. These folks just may be the best music ever. Super talented and super great message.

I just found them too they have different style mashups. Really cool.

Wow-wow😂 FANTASTIC BOMBASTIC 😂👌🏻👍🏻😍 Disis Russia 🤗👌🏻👍🏻

Holy crap she busted out the Jaw Harp! 😂

The name of the band Otyken (in Türkiye turkish Ötüken) is the ancient capitol of many turkic tribes. So Ötüken is a holy city for most Turkic clans and has a very important meaning in turkish Mythologie. The language, the costumes, the instruments and the throat singing.. everything here is Turkic origin. My mother tongue is Turkish so many words she sings sounds familiar to me although this dialect is very old. I would like to recommend you another video where you can see a more pure form of the ancient turkic music with throat singing. The music band is called ER TURAN, and the song "Türk kanı" (Turkish Blood) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNZ4d5B227C0gqs.htmlsi=C8elGF-nroPly682

Would love to see more of them. I’ve only seen some of their stuff but my reaction is always like yours was.

Oooh ooooh sooo glad you did this! Now do The Hu- Wolf Totem or anything by Heilung. We on that international folk rabbit hole now 😁

check out Ummet Ozcan X Otyken - Altay. it's a collaboration with a edm dj from the netherlands. cheers mate

I'm digging it. Thank you for this . I would of never found this. See you are introducing us to unique music.

"Altay", their collab with Ummet Ozcan is fire. He's a very prolific singer, producer, and DJ. The band's name is pronounced Oh-too-ken, with the "Y" sounding like "ooh". There are English lyrics on most of their videos. Also, the beard on Ach, the throat singer, is fake; there are other videos with him wearing it too.

Listen to "Genesis" by them. It blew my mind! I would love to see them live! You can't sit still! And i play Rock n Roll! I'm hooked!

I had the exact same experience homie. Random KZfaq recommendation put me on to this absolute GOLD. 😂😂

Wait 'til you watch the other OTYKEN (oh-too-kyen) songs, they're wild and different!

"what is this? and why is it so fire?" - my reaction exactly when I first found otyken

Discovered Otyken couple days ago also thanks to YT algorithm and i wasn't disappointed. To see your reaction such a good timing❤ Please do some more Otyken

Dude your facial expressions changed when the heavy drums came in. I think that other parts of the earth their music played by every DJ. We are in disbelief about their success.

This is Russia. Has so many culture

Your face was a picture 😂but first time i have heard this song and i really like it🇬🇧👍🇺🇲

💕 OTYKEN 😻 Greetings from Finland!

There's another band from Mongolia that is folk metal,,,,THE HU- Wolf Totem,,,,,it is a must watch!!!!!!

I am enjoying how cultured you are describing this bro ❤❤❤

... так прикольно смотреть на ректоров...!! OTYKEN огонь!!!

random yet perfect choice! Otyken is a very modern group; I'd say they play World Music, but this is not true. They adopt world music to their own original Siberian taste. Phenomenon, Altay, Genesis, Storm, Kukakacha, ... are also worth wide audience attention.

My lovely group 🎉🎉🎉

Stumbled onto this band years ago looking for Nordic / shamanisic ish , never looked back so unique , same with the Russ folk band Otava Yo and Nordic group Heilung 🤟🏼🔉🔊❤️

More than 200 ethnic groups live in Russia and about 18 thousand years ago my brothers and sisters came from Siberia to America and then the indigenous people of America (Indians) appeared. Fact. Hello From Russia 🤍

Please watch the songs OTYKEN "PHENOMENON" and "Altai", it's very beautiful! Best wishes from Russia!

OTUKEN from Siberia, Russia, singin in Old Turkic, Chulen and sometimes in Russian languages...

Красивые клипы, природа, очень эффектные девушки , наряды традиционные, всё отлично, дай вам бог , радуйте своими выступлениями людей, мы гордимся вами❤

So funny. I was just looking for one of their songs to make a request for you to react to and low and behold, you’ve already reacted to them. I LOVE them. It's so sad that we have all these sanctions imposed on Russia, and we can't get them here. Could you maybe bring on Gen Z to discover them?

Beautiful women, awesome beat. Stunning.

OMG I am dying from your facial expressions 😁♥️ yes Siberia, Altai. Mongolian alright. I’m one of them here in America (and I dress the same)

Это Чувашии и поют на чувашском. 2 год их слушаю

Love seeing you break out of the "normal music" mold. Ummet Ozcan is a Turkish DJ and Producer. He Uses throat singing thechniques in his tracks. (it's his signature addition) My favorites are "Bifrost" and "Xanadu"

Love that KZfaq's algorithm recommended this to you! Such a great band! You should check out some their other songs, they have a bunch of great stuff. And you should absolutely react to Broken Peach - they've done some really good covers, and the videos are just wild.

кстати----Горловое пение - уникальный вид искусства, присущий для культуры ряда тюркских (тувинцы, алтайцы, башкиры, хакасы, Саха, казахи, киргизы) и монгольских (монголы, буряты, калмыки) народов и некоторым коренным народам Американского континента. У тибетцев горловое пение используется для речитации буддийского канона, и в тибетской традиции существует ряд учебных институтов, готовящих исполнителей горлового пения специализированно.(Throat singing is a unique art form inherent in the culture of a number of Turkic (Tuvans, Altaians, Bashkirs, Khakas, Sakha, Kazakhs, Kirghiz) and Mongolian (Mongols, Buryats, Kalmyks) peoples and some indigenous peoples of the American continent. Among Tibetans, throat singing is used to recite the Buddhist canon, and in the Tibetan tradition there are a number of educational institutions that train throat singing performers in a specialized way.)

Guys, i live in RF, and it's my first time when i listen to here. She is amazing..

Андрюха их медом откормил))

i love this group so much

Gotta see The Hu (pronounced Who)

❤ Otyken

Хакасия рулит❤

Ötüken is Holly Capital of Türks Nations. And singers are Siberian Türks.

Сибирячки ОГОНЬ 🥰🫶🇷🇺🫶🥰👍👍💪💪☝️

Знал бы он, что он сейчас слушает на редком языке песню. На этом языке говорят только 44 человека.

from Russian with love

Чувак, приезжай в Красноярск, тебе в живую там споют...если не замерзнешь!

yes they are Native Siberians and they are badass

If you think their videos are good, wait til you see the LIVE CONCERT they just did in Moscow!! Unbelievable!!

Otyken Altay

The frog and crow samples 😆

Dude they have a joint with Xhibit.... LEGEND

They were saying your say your name over. The next verse is about momma and baba😊

This is the Chulym language. One of the great many national languages of Russia.

Altay next. It is a collab with a throat singer/ dj called ummett ozcan.

It is NOT folk music! It is indigenous/Native music! And it’s awesome!

❤❤❤

Pronounced Oh-too-Ken. The у in Russian Cyrillic is pronounced as our u.

Интересно! Мы казахи, понимаем их язык! Тюркоязычные народы схожи в своих наречиях

muy buen canto de garganta

You should check out Otyken - Altay. It will definitely grab your attention too.

Lern to love Siberian!!

you should totally listen to Altay! :)

O T OU K E N

That was pretty damn good never heard anything from them it’s definitely original and Broken Peach makes some great and crazy covers if I remember right Broken Peach is from Spain or Italy (I believe it’s Spain tho)

Yeah, bro, just discovered this To-DAY. Have you ever even heard that language before in your LIFE?! I get Mongolian throat singing and maybe influence from K-pop

Before this group, there were - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5uqm5B0zNXZpJs.html . The Anglo-Saxons almost wiped out the entire indigenous population of North America, and the survivors were locked up on reservations. In Russia, they agreed, they did not destroy anyone because not everyone can stand - 40 C or more temperatures in winter and endless mosquitoes in summer. As in Alaska, half a year is night and half a year is day.

you have got to see Heilung Anoana, preferably "live"

They're Chulym. Also known as Chulym Tatars.

I guess they're rising! keep going, please, check others songs. My favorite is "Altay" with Ummet Ozcan.

This Folk-Tehno👌🏻🇷🇺

OTYKEN is a Siberian indigenous music group that combines modern pop elements with local folk music by combining traditional instruments, lyrics and languages. Ummet Özcan is a trans producer of Dutch origin, born in 1982 and originally from Turkiye.
