In this talk we present a mechanism giving rise to exotic XYZ four-quark states in the meson spectra within a constituent quark model approach. We discuss its generalization to five-quark states in the heavy baryon sector. Finally, we review other work in the literature and discuss experimental data where this mechanism may be working.
