Dakhabrakha

The Ukrainian world music quartet DakhaBrakha, founded at the Kyiv experimental theater “Dakh”, has become a symbol of a new Ukraine — free, bold, and independent. With a sound that fuses authentic Ukrainian folk songs with global rhythms and instruments, DakhaBrakha has performed on leading music stages around the world, including Glastonbury, Sziget, Pohoda, Bonnaroo, Roskilde, GlobalFEST, and many others — from Mexico to South Korea.

This European tour marks the presentation of DakhaBrakha’s new album Ptakh (“Bird” in Ukrainian), which the band has been carefully crafting over the past few years. The songs were inspired by the Ukrainian resistance, the strength and resilience of the Ukrainian spirit, as well as the unwavering support expressed by people across the world. Ptakh is both a title and a key symbol in their work — a metaphor for freedom and for the powerful voice of Ukraine. Very soon, listeners around the world will be able to hear Ptakh on all major streaming platforms.DakhaBrakha defines its unique style as “ethno-chaos” — a blend of multiple musical and cultural elements shaped through field expeditions, archival research, and deep immersion in folk traditions. Their performances are a powerful fusion of theater and music: the visual intensity of stage performance meets striking genre diversity.
