@@ahnenthor Well the way it was said maybe was bit off, but it's true, the vast majority of what they do is Ukrainian folk. They have a few songs that have modern influences, but those are obvious. It doesn't have to be Tibetan just because it has drone tones, a ton of folkmusic has drone tones, it also doesn't have to be African just because it has call and response, also quite common in folkmusic.

Magic is real and alive in Ukraine - this is some of the best musical expressions of that magic. Victory, Peace, and Glory to Ukraine!

Just discovered DakhaBrakha last Friday and am currently obsessed. In light of the current war on Ukraine I searched for Ukrainian music and certainly wasn't disappointed. Ukraine is in my heart.

Three beautiful women in wedding dresses and a guy yelling. Couldn't get any better! Love the music.

Just had first row seats at a dazzling concert by this fascinating group! Not only was their performance incredible, but, on the large screen behind them, the graphics were beautiful, the photos moving, and the film brought tears. If you have a chance , GO SEE AND SUPPORT THIS WONDERFUL GROUP!!

They are so insanely good that they have nothing left to prove, so they can afford to do something really wild, and unique. Three brides in Cossack hats! And they have so much fun it's infectious!

If this group isn't cast as the band in the next Star Wars dive bar, then somebody isn't paying attention. Got to love me some DakhaBrakha!!

O.M.G. - my new favorite group! They remind me of a cross between the wildness of Ukranian Eugene Hutz's Gogol Bordello and the famed vocal harmonies of the Bulgarian Women's Choir with a bit of West African beat thrown in. Simply amazing!

Saw this quartet a year and a half ago in Toronto. Audience ages from 12 to in their 80s. About the third song, I noticed that everyone in the audience was rocking out in a chair dance, to every song. One of the best concerts I've been to, ever.

Just one week ago I saw DakhaBrakha perfomance here, in Toronto. They are the best ethno group ever! Being a Ukrainian myself I am not too shy to say that:) Talented, vibrant, colorful, UKRAINIAN!!:)

this group was just here in Taos, NM this past December…I went and saw them and the whole crowd feel madly in love with them…they were INCREDIBLE live.

That bass/cello is the coolest sound ever

Whatever dimension this is it’s a good one.

The moment you realize the music we'll be listening to in 100 years is the same music we listened to 100 years ago from now.

I am so in love with these guys. I've been playing for half a century and this is some of the most profoundly cool music I have ever heard.

Just made my unborn 8m twins listen to it. It felt like blessings to them. Thank u

OhMyGod, the cello player is absolutely adorable! I've hear the advice to performers "look like you're having fun" and thought it was kind've dumb, but Jesus, she just draws your eyes with that grin!
