The Ukrainian group DakhaBrakha keep it tight och strict, with meditative drones and a great stage presence. DakhaBrakha means to “give and take” in an ancient Ukrainian dialect. The group was formed on the initiative of the Russian director Vlad Troitsky, as a houseband for his avant garde theatre in Kiev. DakhaBrakha work with stories, songs and styles which still today are alive on the Ukrainian countryside, which is from where they originate both musically and geopraphically.
