Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, Ukrainian “ethno-chaos” quartet DakhaBrakha creates a world of unexpected new music.DakhaBrakha was created in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art “DAKH” by avant-garde theatre director Vladyslav Troitskyi, with a name that means “give/take” in the old Ukrainian language. Theatre work has left its mark on the band performances – their shows are always staged with a strong visual element.
After experimenting with Ukrainian folk music, the band added rhythms from around the world, creating the bright, unique and unforgettable sound of DakhaBrakha. They expand the potential of Ukrainian melodies, bringing them to younger generation in Ukraine and the rest of the world
Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, and Ukrainian traditional instrumentation, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture. At the crossroads of Ukrainian folklore and theater, their musical spectrum ranges from intimate to riotous, plumbing the depths of contemporary roots and rhythms.
