Some Dance, Some Business, Some Blues and a Bit of the Ukraine
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - In this week's Don't Miss List: Some Dance, Some Business, Some Blues and a Bit of the Ukraine
1. Have you been waiting all summer for Ukrainian folk acolytes and musical innovators DakhaBrakha? Then wait no more, for on Friday, Sept. 5, they take over the California Plaza Watercourt with a performance that highlights the musical textures of their native and in-the-news land. Expect theatrical elements, pounding drums, some mad cello playing, crimson beads and towering black lamb’s-wool hats. What does it sound like? We’re not quite sure, but DakhaBrakha dubs its sound “ethno-chaos.” We’re intrigued. Showtime is 8 p.m.
