Four artists who wanted to change traditional music came together to form DakhaBrakha in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 2004. They mix traditional Ukrainian instruments like the bandura and cello with percussion and experimental sounds to make shows that are both creepy and exciting. Each member sings, plays drums, or strings, creating a shared energy that strongly connects with people all around the world.
The band has put out seven studio albums and played more than 1,000 shows throughout the world, from Glastonbury to Lincoln Center. Their songs "Sho Z-Pod Duba" and "Baba" show how they can mix old rhythms with new sounds. They have won awards for being creative, mixing traditional stories with avant-garde performance to draw in crowds of 500 to 10,000 people per show, depending on the size of the venue.
DakhaBrakha is still touring the world, playing 10 to 12 songs at each event and putting on shows that run 75 to 90 minutes. Their layered voices and complicated drumming make for a powerful experience. Every live event feels like a ritual, and audiences become part of the music's mesmerizing beat.
