In the spirit of Otyken`s songs you can hear the melodies of the Wild Siberia and feel the power Taiga and the people who live there.The real life is today and now. In Otyken`s songs modern rhythms are mixed with the traditional melodies as well as the totem dances are plunging you in an original performance.Tambourine beats accompanied with overtone singing take our audience far away through the immense spaces of Chulym Taiga.

What do you do when you aren't making music?

All the Otyken`s members do honey hunting, gather herbs and make traditional aboriginal tea. This is the unique world music with the powerful spirit of Taiga, the aroma of Siberian herbs and the taste of wild honey. Chulyms live in the wild land, create energetic world music and gather wild honey in the north woods.

What are your songs about?

The Otyken`s songs tell us about Chulyms history, their traditional crafts and their wild honey called Holahas. These people live in Taiga in the mouth of the Chulym river. Chulyms put their positive energy and soul shine in each of their products. There are words of wisdom in their hearts. Think positively and it will attract good things into your life. Drink our tea, eat our honey, listen to our music and be healthy and happy!
