"A multinational band consisting of representatives of the indigenous peoples
of Siberia, the group Otyken releases a new single Chukotka. The song is
dedicated to the indigenous peoples of the Far North, their culture and a way
of life. The lyrical composition, along with ethnic, traditional musical
instruments and throat singing, takes the listener to the vast expanses of the
northern seas, covered with a thick layer of ice, under which “sea animals” -
whales - are hidden. The lyrics, written in Chulym language, raise pressing
questions about the conservation of nature and the environment, ecology and sea
pollution, and the consequences of unscrupulous oil production. Using the
example of the Chukotka Peninsula, the song reflects the family and cultural
values of the indigenous peoples of Siberia, as well as their gratitude to
older generations for preserving traditions and opportunities to do what they
love."

Via Muse, who wrote "I’ve been following Otyken, a Siberian folk band for
awhile now. This song is amazing!"
