the big guy is a Throat singer a Russian Mongolian, the group are from Siberia, Otyken are singing and speaking in Khakas, a Turkic language of Siberia.

Всем привет из Сибири, город Красноярск. Именно в этом городе снимался клип. Всем мира и добра.

I was one of the people who filmed this and I want to say that you got his point very accurately!

Oh-too-ken is the correct pronunciation, the Y is pronounced as a U (very Russian). I love all of their music. They are members of the Chulyms people of Russia and iirc there are only 200 or so that speak their language anymore. Their MV's are always spectacular and generally show off some amazing Siberian landscapes. The ladies are gorgeous and are living advertisements to go and visit Siberia. I am sure many people will recommend Storm, Phenomenon, Legend, Smoke, Paradise Lost etc. Personally, I love watching the live version of Pulse. They recently did a collaboration with Ummet Ozcan on a song called 'Altay', I highly recommend checking it out.

АЛТАЙ, ФЕНОМЕН ,ЛЕГЕНДА ,ОБАЛДЕЕШЬ .

Безумно радостно читать комментарии людей , спасибо вам за поддержку OTYKEN, я также люблю слушать традиционную музыку разных стран и хочется, чтобы люди не забывали свои корни и предысторию :) И если вам не трудно, могли бы вы мне посоветовать что-то из родного края в этом стиле? Большое спасибо ❤

Otuken is a tribal/modern music group from Siberia….they use traditional instruments and also throat-singing with a modern touch…the singers are fantastic! - I found them about a year and a half and they are on my wish list to see in concert! However, travel out of Russia is difficult at this time so I’m not sure when (if ever) they will tour Canada or the USA

Oh man, this came up as a recommendation last week on KZfaq and I have been absolutely obsessed since then (thank you algorithm)!!!! Everything they do is worth checking out and once heard you will want to hear again and again. Storm was actually the first video I watched and it blew me away. The mix of traditional and modern, the fact that the kick drum that makes this like edm is a traditional drum, the female vocals, the throat singing, the lyrics, all the other instrumentation...it's all just sooo good!!!! I almost never go to concerts anymore, but I would make an exception for these guys...feeling this beat in a crowd on its feet would just be transcendent!

Otyken from Krasnoyarsk Krai District. Am long time listener and will say you havent heard anything yet. Themes are similar but the sound is unpredictable. To fully appreciate this group you must know a bit of Siberian history & listen to their early stuff too. Current singer has some power, but previous lead vocalist was great too. Fantastic songs - very unique. Recommend just about every song - its all very COOL!

👍 Yes. "Phenomenon" album by Otyken is a favorite. Azyans story and backstory is amazing too, not forgetting all of Otyken creating togheter like the whole story of creation. Azyan uses her beatiful voice, beautiful person and mind to pour her soul into the universal message of all, like they all do for all of us. Like all of you creators out there equally doo. Thank you to all of you💗

Otyken, pronounced Oh-Tau-Ken (I listened to the way they say it at their live shows) is currently one of my favourite bands. I’ve loved the mix of traditional with modern genres since I found Hednigarna in the 90’s. The songs Phenomenom and Storm are two of my favourites. The lead singer Azyan has an incredible voice. There’s a cool mini-doc video you should watch. Happy New Year John.

OTYKEN is a trip in itself. Love them, glad you reacted to them!

Obbettivo-devono ballare tutti ,x la nostra pianeta !complimenti x il popolo siberiano

Ребята вы просто уникальны и чертовски шикарны!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yaaaaasss!!! OTYKEN is a breath of raw FRESH pure AMAZINGNESS...your DANCE METAL term fit perfectly...metal you can literally dance to with sacredness mixed in too!!!💕

You need to review Khan Blues and Phenomenon as well as every song they have !! They were just on tour in Vietnam as well as other places. This is the band I want to see in person!! Otyken rules !!

Если не подавлять чужую культуру и национальность, появляются такие шедевры.😊

I just came across them a month or so ago and I love them. This is one of my favorites so far. Storm is great also because I love snowstorms and the lyrics are very intriguing.

Шикардос полный❤❤❤

I really like that you react to singers that are not usual but I love them all...Suddenly I see oh my favorite singer that I only love😂

A forested, sacred region stated in the Oghuz Epic to be located between the Tienshan mountains and the Orkhon basin. OTYKEN🥰

They’re great! I follow your channel primarily for your Dimash reactions, but I’m so glad to see you discover other interesting artists I like, such as Otyken.

My favorite song by OTYKEN is Storm. Definitely check that one out!

They have a few live performances on their channel which are really good. I think you will really enjoy them. And The HU are also good.

Thank u for introducing me to this

Ii also discovered Otyken just 6 Monrhs ago and are still flashed how refreshing different, interesting but beautyful their sound is. And the singers vocals are so capable vor different sounds its just stunning. I bought all their albums and i dont regret it. I suggest for new entries their last album Phenomenon. Its some sort of Best Of. But i suggest you to listen to other songs too because the singers voice just sounds really beautyful on some songs and they deliver really unique melodies and sound.

Found them last night. I fell into this deep rabbit hole and I’m in love with this band 😂

This is so sick! I love and respect it!!! ❤

Well that was wild! It's like if The Hu became hippy trance rap wizards lol.

I just found out about this group today when KZfaq put them in my feed. I love them so much!

That was insane!!!! 🤯🤯🤯

Видео снимали в Красноярске на острове Отдыха, с видом на ЖК Южный берег.

Just found them on KZfaq the other day , very catchy beats, downloaded a bunch on Spotify.

I absolutely love Otyken!! If you love "Throat Singing", another group too check out is Uuhai. It is absolutely mind-blowingly awesome!! Fantastic Reaction as always!!

Me encanta Otyken ❤ Muy bueno tu vídeo!!!

Обожаю ваши реакции❤

Siberian folk pop. Didn't know that was a thing did you? 😄Similar to The Hu if you've ever heard them. I really need to make a playlist of all these traditional folk pop/rock/ambient groups like OTYKEN, The Hu, Heilung, Wardruna.

Otyken has become one of my favorite bands. 2nd to BABYMETAL right now. They are just as unique and full of positive energy. Check out there songs, Pulse, Steps, Phenomenon, Genesis, and Lost Paradise is really really beautiful.

Yay! You found OTYKEN! Check out more of their stuff and look into The HU also.

Love this band!!!!

All Otyken music is worth a listen. "Storm" is especially recommended. Would love to meet the group and collaborate on a tribal/ethnic music project but unfortunately it is not possible.

I am mesmerized by this group. PLEASE COME TO TEXAS!!!

I've been listening to OTYKEN for a while now and this is from the latest stuff, to me, and I love this band, so different from everything but so contagious, I'd suggest other songs from them, the firsto ones I've heard: -LEGEND -PHENOMENON -STORM -GENESIS -KYKAKACHA and -MY WING. If you're really getting into this, the previous ones are a good start, all of them soooooooo gooooooooooooood 🔥🔥🔥 P.D. Also if you're into "different" I'd like to recommend listening to ERA, you've probably heard of them, if not here are a few songs: -AMENO -DIVANO -THE MASS -COME INTO MY WORLD (REMIX) -ENAE VOLARE MEZZO -INFANATI -MISERE MANI. Sorry I know it's a lot but I got so excited with this reaction and how open minded you are for music, good music that is, that I had to, had to, suggest this one band too "ERA"

Ive been blown away by them since i discoverd them by accident a year ago

Otyken is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

They so dope 🤘🏿🤟🏿

I am obsessed

So many cool OTYKEN songs - Phenomenon and Altay are awesome.

I just saw a fantastic video with this group - Ummet Ozcan X Otyken Altay. I recommend that one too.

I love this group. Xzibit suppose to hop on the remix of belief. Im sooooo here for it

Definitely cool

Thank you!!!😂😂❤

check out their song "Pulse", but live, you have it on their channel

Natives throwing down kicking it old and new wild man wild

I love how the guy comes in with the throat singing

The remix with Xzibit kicks ass also! Don't wanna say better, but different and equally badass!

Definitely check out "Altay", which is a collab between Otyken & Ummet Ozcan, a Dutch/Turkish singer, producer, and DJ.

Thank you for that beautiful Old Turkish Music…….Ne mutlu Türk’üm diyene !

"Kahn Blues" from Otyken is a fun Song/Video, too.

hey John I have been a fan of Otuken for some time now and I would suggest you check out some of their other music videos as well take care

Khan Blues is amazing!

Very cool

Your intro music is awesome

Love Otyken, also I've got a thing for Maya, one of the drummers, lol.

Belief remix is awesome love it!!

I'm Thai. I traveled to Mongolia for 8 days. I spent time with men who had low, throaty voices most of the time. I asked him to teach me how to sing with the bass. It was really difficult, but I could do it. But it didn't sound as loud as theirs. 😅

Try listening to another Otyken's song, Altay. Your head will surely bang along with their music ;)

Happy New Year and congrats on finding Otyken. You have some other bits of background in the comments already, so forgive any duplication. They are a group from remote central Siberia. They are all members of small tribes (Chulym, Ket, Selkup, Tuvan, etc.) There are just over 200 native speakers of the Chulym language left in the world. Like other tribes in the region, they were decimated by centuries of invasion and war, and more recently by the rampant environmental destruction starting in the Soviet era. They play authentic traditional instruments, made by the band-members and their families. The artists also sew their own costumes. These are based on traditional indigenous outfits, but incorporate attributes of several Siberian tribes at once. They want to be ambassadors for all of the indigenous people of the region. Their instruments include: ikili (a two-stringed bowed instrument used in Siberia, similar to the Mongolian morin khuur); khomys (jew’s harp); rattles similar to maracas and tambourines; a local variant of the mandolin; and several kinds of drums, as well as modern electric bass guitar and electronic keyboard/synthesizer. They occasionally play a saxophone they found abandoned in the forest near one of their villages. The best description of their ikili is “You look like someone who no one should mess with when you have an instrument that’s made out of a freakin’ BEAST!” Otyken incorporate throat singing and chanting into their vocals, as well as imitating wild animal sounds and bird calls. When they were founded, they started off doing straight-up folk music. When they began to add a fusion of folk with modern rock sounds, they found themselves attracting fans from all over the world. They are fully aware that their language is dying. Part of their purpose in performing and recording their music is to leave behind a record of their culture before they disappear. To date, they have released tracks mainly in Chulym, but also in Khakass, and one song in Russian, addressed to the people who took their land. As they say in “Paradise Lost”: “The land is yours now, but the sky is ours.”

Круто!

Love the energy. Love Otyken.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Look up the LIVE version of PULSE, prob my favorite

I feel terrible John.😢☹️ I just assumed you were a BTS channel with a splash of Metal and I never went back over your catalogue. I arrived 8 months ago with Dimash and never thought to make any other suggestions.🙄😔 I prefer Otyken's older stuff like "Genesis", "Storm" and "Legend but all their music is good. Azyan is the lead female vocalist that you like.😏 Other similar but unique bands are The Hu Band (Mongolian Folk Metal) Try "Wolf Totem" Volfgang Twins (Viking Metal) Try "Jormungandr" or "Frost" Feurschwanz "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie (Abba Cover) Folk Metal... Fun and amazing.🤭 Also if having a bad day and you need a smile try the incredible NanowaR of Steel (Italian Comedy Metal Band) Excellent instrumentation plus intellectual (and Not) humour. Try "Valhalelluja", Norwegian Reggaeton", Pasedena 1994, or Uranus. No swearing or coarseness. Always includes an amazing guitar solo.😂 Guarenteed to lower stress levels with laughter. Even if you miss most of the jokes, the music is amazing.😂🤘🔥🤘

You'll miss a lot not checking their Phenomenon, Altay, Genesis, Storm, ...

listen to Altay by this Otyken and ft Ummet Ozcan, I have been listenin g to Otyken for about a year now and all their songs are great.

Not sure if you have reacted to the Hu? They are Mongolian throat singers blended with metal music. Definitely worth a listen. Cheers.

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊

React to Phenomenon from Otyken please 🙏 that gonna blow your mind 🤯

Belief is a good song. Legend is my favorite by Otyken 👍

Люблю Сибирь!) са из России, куда вы от нас денетесь))

I'm native American they sing better then the west native American I'm proud to be having the same blood 😅

this is what a war chant would be like.

Ummet Ozcan x Otyken - Altay 👍🏼👍🏼

The lead singer Azyan is really beautiful. The other female members are also.

👍

React to Otyken, Storm!!

And ck out their vlogs on their village life and collecting honey!

This is one of their earlier songs, about 2 years old, they are having so much fun with this video... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibthlNN7udydZKM.html

You said he was low. Have you listened to something from Geoff Castellucci? He can go L O W ... And I mean low low ...

I found OTYKEN after listening to The Hu. Phenomenon is good. Great reaction! For THE HU, I'd suggest "Yuve Yuve Yu" and "Wolf Totem." The HU is awesome live.

There's a remix version with the rapper Xzibit

👍👍👍 !!! Hello from Russia !

Russia didn’t begin with the Bolshevik’s . There were, and are, indigenous nations of today’s Russia!

Check out ummet ozcan x otyken altay, where ummet ozcan did a song with them, he does house and other music and throat sing
