In Concert
This playful band from Kiev researches and then reshapes ancient and contemporary Ukrainian music and theatre creating an unexpected range of sounds in concert that are at once riotous and mesmerizing. DakhaBrakha — which means give-take in old Ukrainian — melds soulful folk and ritual songs, with Balkan, African, Brazilian, experimental Jazz, pop and R&B which is performed on vocals, accordion, bass drum, keyboard, mouth harp and cello - creating hypnotic textures.

FRIDAY, MAY 20th @ 7:30 PM

Live Score to the Silent Film Masterpiece EARTH
This evening DakhaBrakha will perform their original score to a screening of the classic 1930 pre-Stalin silent film Earth (Zemliya) by Aleksandr Dovzhenko, considered to be one of the most important films and filmmakers of the Soviet era.The lyrical and poetic film depicts the lives of Ukrainian farmers with intense close-ups and impressive expanses of the landscape and is a passionate tribute to the land, nature and to the people that work it.
