DakhaBrakha
Harris Center
October 2, 7:30 PM
Come for a fascinating trip to the Ukraine, one like no other. Created in 2004 by the avant-garde theatre director Vladyslav Troitskyi, three women and a man utilize world rhythms and a range of traditional instrumentation that is Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian in origin. The bright, unique and unforgettable sound of DakhaBrakha (the name that means “give/take” in the old Ukrainian language) rests on the quartet’s astonishingly powerful vocal range, while their roots in theater are never far away— their shows are always staged with a strong visual element. Named the “Best Breakout” band at Bonnaroo by Rolling Stone.
