Recent tour reviews

On the stage 4 chairs, a cajón, an accordion, a drum set, a bass drum and the signature cello with patterns that make it look like embroidery.

Enter the musicians, the ladies wearing long white gowns with black floral patterns.

Tataryn-Bratko, the first song of the set, gives a first taste of what the artists mean when they define their genre as ethno-chaos. They had a layer of drums that would make a Brazilian samba band envious to a folk song, originally acapella.

Many of the songs follow a common pattern, the voices of the ladies intertwined in a choir, the cello played roughly and dirt on the same registrer.

Marko's scat-like meowing appears also in several songs.

The crowd pleasers that make people dance, like Lado or Yanky are mixed with more somber songs, sometimes hard to distinguish from one another.

The animations by Sashko Danylenko for Karpatskyi Rap and Monakh are quite good.

Vesna is the highlight of the concert in my opinion.

DakhaBrakha: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

Credit: Courtesy of the Artist

Every January, I attend globalFEST at a New York City nightclub and see some of the most fantastic music I'll experience all year. Now, given the pandemic's challenges and the hardening of international borders, NPR Music and globalFEST moved the 2021 edition from the nightclub to your screen of choice and shared the festival with the world. We called it Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST . We presented 16 artists in intimate settings (often behind desks donning globes), all hosted by African superstar Angélique Kidjo .

This show marks DakhaBrakha 's return to globalFEST and Tiny Desk. The Ukrainian band's first globalFEST performance was in 2014, and their 2015 Tiny Desk concert remains a favorite . We've had them in our spaces, so it's a real treat to see them in theirs, the Dakh Theater in Kiev. Coming together, their performance maintains the energy and joy that define their music, bouncing off each other musically and emotionally. DakhaBrakha aims to keep Ukraine's musical and storytelling tradition alive by making it more accessible to a younger, international audience, a kind of self-proclaimed "ethno-chaos." They craft stunning sonic worlds for traditional songs, reinventing their heritage with a keen ear for contemporary resonances. This performance took place during the opening night of our 2021 festival. -- globalFEST

Legendary Ethno-Chaos group from Kyiv

After selling out their last three concerts in Vancouver, DakhaBrakha returns with their spectacular musical and visual performance to the superb Massey Theatre, bringing their powerful message of resistance and solidarity for Ukraine.

“With their otherworldly singing and self-described ethno-chaos sounds, this Ukrainian quartet mesmerized for a magical 90 minutes, while adding messages of peace and solidarity. A truly remarkable experience.” — Star Tribune

DakhaBrakha is a world-music quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine. Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, Ukrainian “ethnic chaos” band DakhaBrakha creates a world of unexpected new music. The name DakhaBrakha means “give/take” in the old Ukrainian language.

DakhaBrakha was created in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art “DAKH” by the avant-garde theatre director — Vladyslav Troitskyi. Theatre work has left its mark on the band performances — their shows have never been staged without the scenic effects.

After experimenting with Ukrainian folk music, the band has added rhythms of the surrounding world into their music, thus creating the bright, unique and unforgettable sound of DakhaBrakha. They strive to help open up the potential of Ukrainian melodies and to bring it to the hearts and consciousness of the younger generation in Ukraine and the rest of the world as well.

Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, and Ukrainian traditional instrumentation, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture. At the crossroads of Ukrainian folklore and theatre, their musical spectrum is at first intimate then riotous, plumbing the depths of contemporary roots and rhythms, inspiring “cultural and artistic liberation”.

Dakhabrakha is currently on tour to raise funds and solidarity for Ukraine.

DakhaBrakha, a Band From Kyiv, Saw a War Coming

“We can’t make any music,” the singer and cellist Nina Garenetska said. “This is our life now: An air raid siren goes off.”

• Share full article

By Laura van Straaten

For years, the Ukrainian band DakhaBrakha has ended its shows chanting, “Stop Putin! No war!” What they had protested has now come to pass.

DakhaBrakha , based in Kyiv, has long served as ambassadors for Ukrainian music and culture, at once preserving and transforming them. The group gives the polyphonic harmonies of Ukrainian traditional songs a contemporary, internationalist makeover, using African, Australian, Arabic, Indian and Russian instrumentation alongside punk, scatting, hip-hop, trance and dance influences. Their appearance has always been equally striking, especially for the three women in the quartet: towering fur hats, long matching dresses and wildly colorful Iris Apfel -style jewelry.

“DhakhaBrakha often sings about love, heartbreak or the seasons, but as stand-in for bigger things — sometimes political things — and how they do it expands upon Ukrainian traditional music that uses metaphor in this way,” said Maria Sonevytsky , an associate professor of anthropology and music at Bard College, in New York, who devoted a chapter in a recent book to DakhaBrakha and gave a public lecture Wednesday on “Understanding the War on Ukraine Through Its Musical Culture.”

The singer and cellist Nina Garenetska, the singer and multi-instrumentalist Marko Halanevych, the singer and multi-instrumentalist Iryna Kovalenko, and the singer and percussionist Olena Tsybulska came together in 2004 as a house band for the experimental theater company Dakh in Kyiv. The three women had studied as ethnomusicologists, and they had delved into Ukraine’s varied regional styles. About eight years ago, the band’s concerts began integrating videos of the violence near Kyiv’s Maidan Nezalezhnosti (“Independence Square”), when paramilitary police in Kyiv cracked down on people protesting after then-President Viktor Yanukovych broke a promise to sign political and free-trade agreements with the European Union, tilting his nation toward Russia instead. The Yanukovych government was ousted; later in 2014, Russia annexed Crimea .

In the years since, as DakhaBrakha has gone on to tour the world many times over, the band has turned up the volume on its political messaging and activism.

DakhaBrakha first performed in North America in 2013, in Toronto. It came to the United States a few months later, and has since performed at Globalfest in New York, Bonnaroo in Tennessee and twice as part of NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series . On Friday and Saturday, the San Francisco Jazz Festival will offer two free online broadcasts of the DakhaBrakha concert that was filmed at the SFJazz Center on July 18, 2018, and is encouraging viewers to donate to a fund to support the band.

In a video chat on Tuesday, Halanevych and Garenetska spoke with The New York Times through translators alongside their longtime artistic manager, Iryna Gorban, about their last shows before the war began and their hopes for the future. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

Marko, I can see you are pulled over by the side of the road. Have you left Kyiv?

HALANEVYCH Yes. It’s a total mess on the Ukrainian roads. I have with me my wife, also a musician, for Dakh Daughters , and two beautiful girls, 4 and 12. I am trying to save their lives by moving to a safer place near my relatives in the west — far from the border with Russia and Belarus. Not necessarily safe. My parents decided to stay. They said they would defend our house. [Laughs] I couldn’t persuade them. And I haven’t told my family yet, but I will be going back to Kyiv, to offer my help anywhere where it is needed, maybe in local defense.

And you, Nina?

GARENETSKA I am in our apartment with my son, who is a year and 10 months old, my husband and my mother, in Kyiv.

How has it been, staying in Kyiv?

GARENETSKA We can’t make any music. Because this is our life now: An air raid siren goes off — you go downstairs, you wait, you go back up. And this is nonstop. When it is too dangerous, we will run to the bomb shelter.

Tell me about your last concert.

GARENETSKA During our last concert, I was tearing up all the time with a weird mix: fear, love, but also hope and faith that everything will be OK. We had a small tour of five or six concerts in Europe — Ukraine, Slovenia, Prague, Oslo. From Oslo we flew to Zaporizhzhya [in southeastern Ukraine], and we came back to Kyiv literally for the day. The next day, we were going to continue touring, but we didn’t go because at 5 a.m. Thursday, the war started.

And since then, what has DakhaBrakha heard from your fan base in Ukraine?

GORBAN To share their emotions, many people here are posting on social media the last picture or video they took just before the war started. And we saw that many are from DakhaBrakha’s last concerts, where, as usual, DakhaBrakha says “Stop Putin!” and “No War!” and “Free Ukraine!” — and of course people are really in solidarity with this.

How and when did DakhaBrakha decide to bring more overt statements about the conflict with Russia to your concerts?

HALANEVYCH At a certain moment, we understood that this threat needed to be talked about more to send a stronger message to the world. And we started speaking out about how Ukraine had decided once and for all to leave Russia’s orbit and separate absolutely. We began saying “Stop Putin!” We showed the videos of the events at Maidan, we had posters, and since then, we say those mottos at every concert. But we were not heard.

Musically, have your concerts addressed this conflict about Ukrainian sovereignty?

GORBAN DakhaBrakha has produced songs from many different regions of Ukraine, and we tried to unite our country in this way, through music. At our concerts, during the last year, we played at each concert a song for people who defend our freedom . It is a very special moment for people; it makes them stand up and feel brave and confident. It makes you believe in our nation. We also have a special requiem devoted to those who gave their lives in this struggle. We almost never play this live, only very special occasions.

What is at risk if this war lasts, culturally speaking?

HALANEVYCH The risk is that Ukrainians will disappear as a nation and that the Ukrainian culture will disappear. For 300 years, Russia did everything for Ukrainian culture to disappear. Also, in recent years, the last 30 and especially the last eight, we Ukrainians feel what it is like to be a free people.

To be a free people is something that Russia hasn’t had for a very long time. They will never understand us. And we will never understand them. And it is important to understand that what is happening with Ukraine now — if you will not stop this evil, it will spread to the rest of the world.

What kind of support is DakhaBrakha getting from fellow musicians and fans?

GORBAN All the venues, festivals, partners, musicians we have met at the festivals have sent hundreds and hundreds of messages. People have offered to donate money through the fund we support and to host DakhaBrakha and our families.

You were supposed to be finishing a European tour around now. What will happen to those shows, and the more than 70 dates you had booked for a tour of North America ?

GORBAN We are just a month until the start of the tour, so it’s too early to discuss it, because the situation is changing every hour. Of course, we hope that the war will stop in the nearest future. This was supposed to be the first tour after two years of the Covid pandemic. And we don’t want to live in these kind of conditions for months or years. If it stops, we will go, and we will continue our work and show our culture to the world. People are waiting for us.
