Direct from Kyiv, “Ethno-chaos” superstars DakhaBrakha bring their incredible trans-national folk-pop-punk music down under.
Donning striking costumes and armed with a collision of sounds from Indian, Arabic, African and Ukrainian traditional instrumentation, DakhaBrakha are a force to be reckoned with.
Formed in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art by theatre director Vladyslav Troitskyi, DakhaBrakha (give/take) combine bold visuals with a sound rooted in Ukrainian culture, creating the bright, unique and unforgettable experience that is DakhaBrakha.
The quartet’s astonishingly powerful vocals add to an unexpected style of music that’s at once intimate, theatrical, soulful and anarchically modern, all of it stoked by chants of cultural and artistic liberation.
As the world’s best-known emissaries of Ukrainian music, performing everywhere from the Lincoln Center to Glastonbury Festival to NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, DakhaBrakha are also proud ambassadors of Free Ukraine. Gather your fighting spirit and rally around their defiant message and music with this special, one-off concert.
