DakhaBrakha — is a world-music quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine. Reflecting traditional elements of sound and soul, the band, formed in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art «DAKH» by the avant-garde theatre director — Vladyslav Troitskyi, creates a world of unexpected new music they like to term “ethno-chaos”. The name “DakhaBrakha” is original, meaning «give/take» in the old Ukrainian language.
Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian traditional instruments, the quartet’s powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture.
