DakhaBrakha

DakhaBrakha

Sunday, March 23
3pm in Stewart Theatre

$40-45 | $10 NC State Students | $20 Faculty/Staff
PRE-SHOW BRUNCH (Reservations Required)

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!
