WMI warmly welcomes back fan-favorite DakhaBrakha, the beloved “ethno-chaos” quartet hailing from Kyiv, Ukraine. Formed in 2004 at the DAKH Center of Contemporary Art by avant-garde theater director Vladyslav Troitskyi, DakhaBrakha (“give-take” in the old Ukrainian language) crafts entirely original music by blending traditional Ukrainian folk melodies and instruments with a variety of global influences and a distinctly theatrical visual style, creating a transnational sound deeply rooted in Ukrainian culture, while layering in elements from pop-punk to classic folk. In the face of the ongoing military conflict in their homeland, DakhaBrakha continues to thrive, touring internationally and passionately advocating for the preservation and representation of Ukrainian culture and freedom.
The Counterpoint series focuses on contemporary artists who push the boundaries of what “world music” can mean in the 21st Century.
