OTYKEN, ALATAU



Happy New Year and welcome to Siberia!

Otyken (Отукен, OH-too-kyen) is a Russian Siberian indigenous music group that mixes elements of local folk music with modern pop, incorporating traditional instruments, lyrics, and languages. 'Otyken'[a] is a word that is used in Chulym language for a sacred place where warriors would lay down their arms and talk.

What a wonderful reminder that music is a universal language, I couldn't understand a word, but the rhythm went right to my heart.
Thank you.
Happy New Year
