DakhaBrakha reflects the fundamental sound and soul of Ukraine in music that is original, intimate and authentic. Their name, meaning “give/take” in the old Ukranian language, reflects their “ethno-chaos” style of exploring both folk music and contemporary rhythms. With Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian traditional instrumentation, this quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture that has true global appeal.
“It’s really the live shows that take DakhaBrakha beyond mere curiosity to utter brilliance.” -- NPR
