The group mixes everything from punk-pop to traditional Ukrainian songs in cool yet beguiling textures, often with the close harmonies usually associated with Balkan music. But it’s really the live shows that take DakhaBrakha beyond mere curiosity to utter brilliance.

Returning for their third appearance to close our mainstage season, we’re thrilled and grateful DakhaBrakha will be making the trek to Raleigh from Kyiv, Ukraine. A fusion of Ukrainian folk and whimsical theatricality, their hypnotic sound has inspired audiences across the world. With the ongoing war in Ukraine, DakhaBrakha’s music and message are even more timely.

DakhaBrakha, which means “give-take” in old Ukrainian, has a powerful and uncompromising vocal range. The quartet’s transnational sound is rooted in Ukrainian folk music accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian traditional instrumentation. Join us to welcome them back to our stage!

BISTRO & A SHOW

Before DakhaBrakha mesmerize us with their voices, visit NC State’s 1887 Bistro for an elegant three-course prix fixe Brunch. Brunch is $39.95 per person and includes soft drinks and mocktails.
