The Ukrainian world-music quartet DakhaBrakha was founded at the Kyiv theater “Dakh” and has become a symbol of a new Ukraine — free, bold, and independent. With a sound that fuses authentic Ukrainian folk with the pulse of global rhythms and instruments — from drums to cello — DakhaBrakha has conquered leading music stages around the world: Glastonbury, Sziget, Pohoda, Bonnaroo, Roskilde, GlobalFEST, and many others — from Mexico to South Korea.
Their performances are a powerful mix of theater and music — combining the visual intensity of stage performance with genre diversity and deep-rooted folk traditions. The band defines its unique style as “ethno-chaos”, a blend of multiple cultural elements shaped through research expeditions and archival recordings. They sing in Ukrainian, Crimean Tatar, and other traditional languages.
