DakhaBrakha
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
DakhaBrakha is a world music quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine. Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, the Ukrainian ethnic chaos band DakhaBrakha creates a world of unexpected new music. The name DakhaBrakha is original, outstanding and authentic at the same time. It means give/take in the old Ukrainian language.
DakhaBrakha was created in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art (DAKH) by the avant-garde theatre director Vladyslav Troitskyi. Theater work has left its mark on the band's performances — their shows have never been staged without scenic effects. Having experimented with Ukrainian folk music, the band has added rhythms from the surrounding world to their music, thus creating a bright, unique and unforgettable image of DakhaBrakha. This will help to open up the potential of Ukrainian melodies and bring them to the hearts and consciousness of the younger generation in Ukraine and the rest of the world as well. Accompanied by traditional instrumentation from different countries, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a transnational sound rooted in Ukrainian culture.
