One of the country’s brightest bands will perform a special concert programme featuring new songs from the album to be released in autumn and their greatest hits. After a long and fruitful world tour, DakhaBrakha is happy to finally meet their home audience.
‘It’s a great honour for us,’ they said in a statement.
The band stressed that they are eager to play in unbreakable Ukrainian cities for people who continue to fight for freedom and amaze the world with their courage, endurance and strength of spirit.
The performances will take place on 1 June, 30 and 31 May at 18:00. The concerts are scheduled to take place at the ICCM (October Palace), 1, Alley of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes.
The musicians said they were excited about the upcoming performances. They noted that the new album has already been recorded. It will be released only in autumn. However, most of the new songs will be performed at concerts not only in Kyiv, but also in Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, Rivne, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Dnipro, Lviv, and Odesa.
The band DakhaBrakha
The Ukrainian band DakhaBrakha was formed in the early 2000s. Folklorists and musicians united around Vladyslav Troitskyi. The group included Nina Garanetska, Iryna Kovalenko, and Olena Tsybulska.
The name of the band, according to the members, was created from the old Ukrainian words ‘to give’ and ‘to take’. Most likely, the forms ‘dakha’ and ‘braha’ correspond to a somewhat outdated form of the past tense (aorist), cf. Bulgarian ‘dadokha, (raz)braha’.
The musicians have created many songs. For example, the soundtrack to Oleksandr Dovzhenko’s silent film Earth was released in 2012. In 2023, the animated feature film Mavka. The Forest Song. DakhaBrakha composed the soundtrack for it.
As a reminder, actor Dmytro Oliynyk has been nominated for the Golden Dzyga film award.
