Presented by Premier Concerts and Manic Presents, this performance at District Music Hall features DakhaBrakha, a Kyiv-based quartet whose self described ethno chaos merges Ukrainian folk polyphony with rhythms and textures from India, Arabia, Africa, and Australia. Expect textural layers built from propulsive percussion, deep bass, distorted electric guitar tones, and threads of jazz, spoken word, rap, and punk. Formed in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art DAKH under theater director Vladyslav Troitskyi, the group brings a strong theatrical sensibility, with striking projections by Ukrainian artists that vary from bright and celebratory to somber and curious, reflecting many facets of life and culture in Ukraine. Their global footprint includes appearances at major festivals such as Big Ears, Bonnaroo, WOMAD, Roskilde, and the main stage at Glastonbury. Honors include the Shevchenko National Prize for Musical Arts, globalFEST’s Artist Award, and recognition as Chevaliers of the Order of Arts in France. Drawing on traditions shaped long before 2022 while carrying the realities of the present, they share a give and take that presents Ukraine as a cosmopolitan culture in conversation with the world. The band is currently recording its first album since 2020 in Kyiv, combining material created both before and during the full scale invasion. This is an all ages show.
