Kyiv, Ukraine (2004 – present)

Ethno-chaos group DakhaBrakha was created in 2004 at the “Dakh” Center of Contemporary Art in Kyiv, Ukraine by avant-garde theatre director Vladyslav Troitskiy. Having experimented with Ukrainian folk music, the band has added rhythms of the surrounding world into their music, thus creating a bright, unique and unforgettable sound.
DakhaBrakha means “give/take” in the old Ukrainian language. The meaning of “giving” is obvious - to give music, joy, celebration, the whole spectrum of emotions, feelings and reflections that fresh music and singing brings. But where to “take” from? The energy can be taken not only from a native “source” but from anywhere… Modern ethnic music needs a sort of reconstruction and in a way it means to search roots, to move back in time. But if one belongs to the urban culture and has no initial experience of the traditional life, how can he find these roots? This “authentic music” will turn out to be artificial because it is an imitation only. Ukrainians still have no developed “urban folk” music, so called “world music”. It depends on specific social and cultural development. So, now the vital decision is to make a step forward with the help of inner inspiration and fantasy: you hear an impulse and then create a new world based on deep cultural roots rather than the superficial forms of the culture.
