OLD DAD REACTS & FIRST LISTEN to OTYKEN - “PHENOMENON” (Official Dad Jams Score)

[@vb3698]

Thank you for reaction. 👍 Otyken [O-tu-k`en] is definitely one of the best Russian "modern folk" bands. Their texts are in Khakass, Chulym, Dolgan and Russian languages. Word "Otyken" in Chulym and other Turkic languages means - "a sacred land where warriors would lay down their arms and talk". Otyken: Azyan - vocals; Ach - keyboard, throat singing; Kunchari (Kys from this year) - igil (two string cello); Otamay (Achanay from this year) - khomuz (two/three string guitar); Tsveta - vargan (aka mouth harp, jaw harp), drums, khomuz, vocals; Maya (Hara from this year) - drums; Hakaida - bass-drums; Aiko (Muna from this year) - bass guitar; Sandro - rattling, muttering, dancing.

Спасибо за реакцию!

This band is really cool, there is no other band I have heard that sounds like them. All their songs are worth checking out.

[@celticwolfco]

The little I know about them is that they come from several "indigenous" groups of peoples. The main one is a group that originated in what is now Turkey, but were displaced a long time ago and settled in the Siberia region. All of the groups they come from are from the Siberia area. They use traditional regional instruments, and their clothes are always traditional with traditional patterns and designs on them. They are an amazing group, and it's fun seeing them become more and more widespread!

"Otyken" is a Russian music group of indigenous peoples of Siberia that mixes elements of modern pop music with local folk music, using traditional instruments, lyrics and languages. "Otyken" is a derivative of a Turkic word translated into Russian meaning "a sacred place of power; a place where warriors laid down their weapons and negotiated"

Отукен, тронул многих на планете Земля. Странно что ты только об этом узнал). Благодарю за реакцию. С любовью из России! Поставил 👍

[@justingoodnow851]

Welcome to the Otyken rabbit hole. Listen to all of them

[@viktornikolajonok3824]

Hi. I'm happy for you, and even a little jealous of you, because you just discovered this band. And you have ahead of you the immersion and learning of new cultures and new music. The name of the group is pronounced as OTOOKEN- like the number two

[@b0raNd]

Pronunciation like that maybe a little closer, unfortunately English language does not possess the sound needed to pronounce correctly

[@viktornikolajonok3824]

@@b0raNd there is this sound is replaced by number 2 - two O two ken

[@b0raNd]

@ it’s [u:] sound like in the word zoo or boo, if you think there is Russian sound Ы in any English word please introduce me to any example of such word bro

[@b0raNd]

@ bro my mistake here - because too many people write this name wrong. I checked the interview with producer, he was asked this question and he said it is [otuken] so that this sounds actually like double O sound. You were right

Otyken are a group from remote central Siberia. They are all members of small tribes (Chulym, Ket, Selkup, Tuvan, etc.) who speak historically related Turkic languages. There are just over 50 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, also known as “jaw 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. My favorite description of their ikili is “You look like someone who no one should mess with because your instrument was 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. To see them in one of their most beautiful MVs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHWUl2R_ltNjoaM For an incredible live performance: “Pulse” kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYXHeZSbp7KIm9E They are fully aware that their language and culture are dying. Part of their purpose in performing and recording their music is to leave behind a record of their culture before it is gone. Their manager and producer is a Russian who is married to one of them and is dedicated to getting their story out to the world. They have also become a symbol and a rallying point for indigenous people all over the world who have suffered the same kind of fate-guests in their own land. To date, they have released tracks mainly in Chulym, but also in Khakass, a related tribal language, 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.” One of their most moving songs is a plea not to destroy the planet: “Chukotka” kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnaxnGmEd6qshtU

I'm a big metalhead, but this group is captivating to watch and listen to. Check out "Ummet Ozcan X Otyken Altay" for something incredible.

[@waynemacaulay9327]

Otyken are amazing sometimes the algorithm just gets it.

[@omar_m_c]

amazing band From Siberia Rusia I recommend you the song "Tormenta" and his collaboration with Ummet Ozcan called Altay

[@stopgeorge]

If it weren't for the political situation in Russia, these guys would be superstars. Every one of their unique tracks are killer. I'm not exagerating. Enjoy the ride!
