DakhaBrakha/ДахаБраха

Hailing from Kyiv, DakhaBrakha, whose name means “give/take” in old Ukrainian, takes audiences on a roller coaster of rhythmic storytelling, theatrical experimentation and folk culture from around the world. Their musical spectrum is intimate then riotous, trans-national but rooted in traditional Ukrainian sounds, and plumbs the depths of contemporary roots and rhythms while inspiring cultural and artistic liberation. 

«Відкриті, містичні та пристрасні»
З Києва, Україна, ДахаБраха представляє концерт потужного оповідання народних традицій і приголомшливого дизайну.

Приєднуйтесь до Arts Commons Presents і BD&P World Stage series, щоб відчути глобальний музичний феномен і стати свідком сили української історії, культури, мистецтва та протесту.

Created in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art, a DakhaBrakha performance is far more than a concert: their shows have never been staged without impressive theatrical flair. From rich costumes, multimedia projections, and a playful performance style, DakhaBrakha dazzles every audience it has met around the world. But that doesn’t mean they shy away from important issues impacting their home country. In their current tour, their goal is to find balance between humour and the gravity of Ukraine’s war with Russia. 

Join Arts Commons Presents and the BD&P World Stage series to experience the live world music phenomenon, and witness the power of Ukrainian history, culture, art, and protest.
