DakhaBrakha was created in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art (DAKH) by avant-garde theatre director Vladyslav Troitskyi, and given a name that means “give/take” in the old Ukrainian language. Theatre work has left its mark on the band's performances; their shows are always staged with a strong visual element. After experimenting with Ukrainian folk music, the band added rhythms from around the world into their music, creating the bright, unique and unforgettable sound of DakhaBrakha. The group strives to bring Ukrainian melodies to the hearts and consciousness of younger generations in Ukraine and the rest of the world.
