Otyken: ‘Belief’

The Siberian Indigenous group Otyken — a word for sacred land that is used by warriors to lay down their arms and talk it out — use traditional instruments to create modern musical arrangements. The band was formed by producer, songwriter, and manager Andrey Medonos as a way to preserve their folklore and traditions before they become extinct. We came across “Otyken” recently and are excited to share this unusual seductive sound with you.
