Ukraine’s DakhaBrakha delivers a sonic feast that weaves traditional Ukrainian folk melodies into a musical tapestry of indie folk-rock, urban hip hop and pop. It's an avant-garde sound that’s been lovingly described as “ethno-chaos”!

Drones and beats, crimson beads and towering black lambs-wool hats all serve as striking visual spectacle for an unexpected, refreshingly new sound of Eastern European roots music. The group’s music is based on songs collected in Ukraine villages by folklorists, then infused by the global musicality of these four extremely talented musicians whose powerful and uncompromising vocal ranges include influences from American pop, African rhythms, Indian, Arabic, Russian, and Australian instrumentation ... all crafted with signature theatrics and hypnotic vocal textures.

It’s an utterly unique, transnational sound with a performance that has become a cult phenomenon around the world. If you love daring and awesomely unusual—then don't miss DakhaBrakha.
