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.
Not only Mongolian, but also Tungus-Manchu, as well as Turkic peoples, to which they belong, have throat singing. Горловое пение имеют не только монгольские,но и тунгусо-маньчжурские,а так же тюркские народы,к которым они и относятся.
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.
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.
If you liked that one, you'll love the collaboration between Ummet Ozcan and Otyken - it's called "Altay", and is burning up RU-vid right now. Also, the track "Phenomenon" by Otyken is fire - one of their best. Keep up the cool vibe. Peace.
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 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
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.
"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.
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) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZpHD-EvJPRw.htmlsi=C8elGF-nroPly682
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 🤍
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.
Красивые клипы, природа, очень эффектные девушки , наряды традиционные, всё отлично, дай вам бог , радуйте своими выступлениями людей, мы гордимся вами❤
@Black Pegasus Mate, there’s a Taiwanese girl that’s mixed traditional folk music from 🇹🇼 Taiwan with Rock music the us westerners are familiar with & she’s banging also…her name is Nini
Love that RU-vid'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.
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
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 🤟🏼🔉🔊❤️

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?
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"
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.)
As you loved that one and felt it was fire, I strongly encourage you to check out their other songs (Storm, Kykakacha, Genesis...). And if you're looking for more recommendations, here are a few experimental folk gems that I'm pretty sure you're gonna love as well: Heilung: Anoana (that one is a one in a billion gem), Norupo Onuka: PEREMOHA, TIME, Don't Fly Away, OZERNA, Zenit Skald: anything at all, every one of their song is fire, but let's say Troll Kalla Mik, Seven Nation Army, Jörmungrund, Níu, Ó Valhalla КОЛО: The Heart in the Rye, Етносфера Арюна Нимаева 'Эрбэд соохор' (Mongolian female throat singing, absolutely amazing) Garmarna: their whole Förbundet is outstanding; also the song "Marak Over Gransena", which is the one that made me discover them.
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)
Так основа-то у них одна. Мы тоже понимаем славянские языки. Русский, украинский, белорусский, болгарский югославский... и т.д. пусть не всё, но общис смысл.
You might try to give unmet ozcan + otyken collab song called Altay (reference to the altaic mountains where turkish people from turkey and turkmens from Siberia share a similar cultural bond)
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
