Ukrainian world music sensation DakhaBrakha is set to perform two shows on Sunday, April 19, 2015 at Mayne Stage in Chicago.
DakhaBrakha is a quartet of multi-instrumentalists from Kiev, who draw on Ukrainian folk melodies and rhythms. Three young women, dressed in wedding gowns and tall Cossack-style hats, sing in soaring, vibrato-less voices while accompanied by accordion, drums, and cello, as well as by the sole male instrumentalist, who also contributes a high vocal lead.
The group uses Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian traditional instrumentation. DakhaBrakha’s discography includes Yahudky, Khmeleva Project and Na Mezhi.
