MOTYK

With a name that means "movement," MOTYK is a band that never stands still. Emerging from the legacy of the legendary Dutch group Flairck, they redefined their path with a fresh name and a bold new direction after their symbolic debut album, Back Alive! (2020).

Guitarist Pablo Ortiz (Mexico), a longstanding member, joins forces with masterful bassist Joris Vanvinckenroye and the exceptional violinists Anouk Sanczuk and Zhazira Ukeyeva (Kazakhstan) to form a powerhouse acoustic quartet.

MOTYK’s music defies categorization. While there are bands that share certain elements, none quite capture their unique sound. It’s a dynamic blend of progressive folk and jazz fusion, infused with the elegance of chamber music. The result is an acoustic, energetic and richly textured experience that never fully settles into one genre. Though based in Belgium, their music often carries echoes of Eastern Europe and even Asian traditions, giving it a distinctive world music feel. Yet MOTYK carves its own path, always evolving, always surprising!
