Background
Otyken is a Russian Siberian indigenous music group that mixes elements of local folk music with modern pop, incorporating traditional instruments, lyrics, and languages. 'Otyken' is a Chulym language term for a sacred place where warriors would lay down their arms and talk. The band was formed in 2015 by Andrey 'Medonos' Chernetsov, and their debut album was released in 2018. As of June 2025, the group has over 2.9 million followers on TikTok, over 250,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and over 1 million subscribers on YouTube with over 250 million views. The band members are of Siberian ethnicities and are said to live in tiny villages along the Chulym river in the taiga of Krasnoyarsk Krai, a claim which is disputed by a former member.
