dakhabrakha

Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, Ukrainian “ethno chaos” band DakhaBrakha creates a world of unexpected new music. Formed in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art “DAKH” by the avant-garde theatre director Vladyslav Troitskyi, their shows are staged with a strong visual element, illustrating their bright, unique and unforgettable sound. Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African and Ukrainian traditional instrumentation, their musical spectrum is at first intimate then riotous, plumbing the depths of contemporary roots and rhythms, inspiring “cultural and artistic liberation” aimed at unlocking the potential of Ukrainian melodies for the country’s younger generation and the rest of the world.
