Motyk

MOTYK's story began in 2016. Under the name Flairck, the group has already played in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, Mexico and France.
They released their first album 'Back Alive!' in 2020, which was named Best Album of the Year by the IAP (Indie Acoustic Project, USA) in the Multi-Genre Fusion category.
In Belgium they were nominated as Best Live Band at the 2019 Flanders Folk Awards.
In 2022, the band decided to continue under the name MOTYK.
MOTYK is derived from the Latin MOTUS which means 'movement'. This applies both to the physical nature of the music and to the continuous search for challenging cross-pollination with other cultures and artists.
The name MOTYK symbolizes a character representing the different facets of a traveler.
He can be a refugee, an exile, a business traveler, an explorer, a tourist, an adventurer, a wanderer, a circus artist, a troubadour…
The core of MOTYK consists of guitarist and composer Pablo Ortiz (Mexico), double bassist and composer Joris Vanvinckenroye (Belgium) and violinists Zhazira Ukeyeva (Kazakhstan) and Anouk Sanczuk (Belgium).
In 2024, MOTYK will launch a new program called ZARPA.
After the band's rebirth in 2022, it's time to set sail.
 A musical theater experience that takes the audience on a journey through fantasy landscapes, exciting adventures and mysterious sounds.
