OTYKEN - LEGEND (Official Music Video)

The music video was filmed in the Krasnoyarsk Territory (Siberia). The Otyken is a Siberian aborigine’s music group. The marvelous combination of traditional musical instruments and modern arrangement will definitely entertain you! Our mystical throat singing, special elemental vocals, enchanting sounds of vargan (jaw harp), khomys, morinhur, leather drums will take you to the wild thickets of the Siberian taiga.

Members of the OTYKEN band from the small indigenous people of Siberia - Chulyms. The music video "Legend" was attended by residents of the countryside of the Tyukhtet district, Krasnoyarsk Territory. According to one version, the Chulyms are the ancestors of the Japanese Ainu and the indigenous peoples of North America. According to another version, the Chulyms are an ancient Turkic tribe.

The new song "Legend" is based on ancient Khakass legends. This is a song about a dutiful girl who cares about the welfare of her parents and her heart. Previously, we used these Khakass legends in the old album of 2018 (in the song "Aidym"). Aidym is the name of the guy with whom the main character of the song is in love. We didn't call the song "Legend" a «remake. We corrected the lyrics, rethought, modernized the music and created something new. Thanks everyone for your support!

In this song, we have collected modern musical genres: Pop-Rock, R&B, HipHop, Club and combined them with the traditional «world music» of the indigenous peoples of Siberia. We really hope you enjoy our work!
