The Christmas concerts will be going full force soon enough.
Why not take advantage of some outside-the-envelope offerings this coming week for a change of pace?
After all, how many times have you heard Ukrainian folk music translated into younger, more modern world music rhythms?
That’s what you can expect from DakhaBrakha, but you’ll have to drive up to Taos to hear this eclectic quartet.
Roots and Wires is presenting the group Tuesday at Taos Mesa Brewing, 20 ABC Mesa in El Prado, with the doors opening at 7 p.m.; Mighty Royalty and the Accidental Harpist open the show.
Tickets are $12 in advance and are available at Que Pasa Music, the venue itself, or online attaosmesabrewing.com.
DakhaBrakha (the name means “give/take”) has toured internationally, and incorporates Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian instrumentation in its repertoire.
