"The group mixes everything from punk-pop to traditional Ukrainian songs in cool yet beguiling textures, often with the close harmonies usually associated with Balkan music. But it's really the live shows that take DakhaBrakha beyond mere curiosity to utter brilliance."~ NPR

DakhaBrakha is a world music quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine. Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, Ukrainian "ethno chaos" band; it creates a world of unexpected new music. After experimenting with Ukrainian folk music, DakhaBrakha has added rhythms of the surrounding world into their music, thus creating a bright, unique and unforgettable sound. Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African and Ukrainian traditional instrumentation, the quartet's astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture.
