DakhaBrakha, the world-music quartet from Kiev, Ukraine, plays at The Loft as part of the District Restaurant Singer Songwriter Series.
Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, this Ukrainian "ethno-chaos" band, creates a world of unexpected new music. Their name is original, outstanding and authentic at the same time— it means "give/take" in the old Ukrainian language. Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian traditional instrumentation, the quartet's astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture.
With one foot in the urban avant-garde theater scene and one foot in the village life that nurtured and protected Ukraine's cultural wealth, DakhaBrakha shows the full fury and sensuality of some of Eastern Europe's most breathtaking folklore.
"From the first moment the group starts performing, it's hard not to get caught up in the magic it weaves...DakhaBrakha possesses an incredible stage presence that transcends its eclectic repertoire and instrumentation... utter brilliance." —npr.org
