DakhaBrakha
Ukrainian band DakhaBrakha performs wild, mesmerizing live shows. Their initial stage set up belies the brilliant madness that ensues: they mix punk-pop with traditional Ukrainian sounds to create what they call ethno-chaos. Think textural, layered sounds with distinctive percussive heartbeats, thumping bass lines, distorted electric guitars, and influences of jazz, spoken word, rap, and punk. Audiences are spellbound by the fun, unpredictable, and brilliant world of DakhaBrakha!
Their history spans years of performances prior to Russia’s 2022 invasion, but war is in everything now. They are troubadours, activists, and educators. They aim to help audiences see Ukraine not as a monolith, but as a cosmopolitan culture that takes in other cultures and gives in return.
