DakhaBrakha is world music quartet from Kiev, Ukraine.
Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, Ukrainian
"ethno-chaos" band DakhaBrakha, create a world of unexpected new
music.
The name DakhaBrakha 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.
Live Soundtrack for "Earth": In addition to
their own performances, DakhaBrakha also performs their original live
soundtrack alongside a screening of the classic 1930 film, "Earth",
by Aleksandr Dovzhenko (considered to be one of the most important films of the
Soviet era). Dovzhenko is a master of composition, and the film—with its
intense close-ups and the impressive expanses of the landscape—is a passionate
tribute to the countryside, to nature, and to the people that work on it.
Cost: $36 - $40
