DakhaBrakha in Portland next week!
Direct from Kyiv, DakhaBrakha returns to Ovations with its self-described “ethno chaos” of folk-pop punk. Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, DakhaBrakha creates a world of unexpected new music. At the crossroads of Ukrainian folklore and theater, their musical spectrum is at first intimate then riotous, plumbing the depths of contemporary roots and rhythms, inspiring “cultural and artistic liberation.” Experimenting with Ukrainian folk music accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, and Ukrainian traditional instrumentation, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a transnational sound rooted in Ukrainian culture. The unparallelled DakhaBrakha is an Ovations audience favorite not to be missed!
