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.[1][2][3] The band was formed in 2015 by Andrey Medonos, and their debut album was released in 2018.[1] As of May 2024, the group has over 2.5 million followers on TikTok,[4] over 245,000 monthly listeners on Spotify,[5] and 820,000 subscribers on YouTube with over 200 million views.[6] The band members are of Siberian ethnicities and live in tiny villages along the Chulym river in the taiga of Krasnoyarsk Krai.
