Dagadana

The last 17 years, DAGADANA has explored Polish and Ukrainian culture, blending traditional music with every thinkable genre under the sun.

When exploring their roots, DAGADANA has found a multitude of similarities and differences between the two cultures. This has become their plaything, and their latest album “Tobie” from 2021 is a prime example: It is full of wishing songs, the oldest songs preserved in Slavic Lands. These songs become vantage points for a joyous and groovy journey through fusion, experimental electronic music and art pop. At their best, the band’s ongoing and omnivorous experiments represent a cause for defiant optimism: If not in the world of politics, then in the music's ability to surprise, to move and to forge new understandings.

The contemporary geopolitical situation shows how important it is to protect language, music and identity. That's why DAGADANA is even more attentive to its work. We live in such times in which art cannot remain silent.

Since their first meeting, DAGADANA has traveled the world, playing over 1 000 concerts in 34 different countries. The band has performed in the Moroccan desert, The Forbidden City and at Glastonbury. Their albums have received critical acclaim and awards, both in their home countries and abroad.
