Τhe famous polyphonic world music quartet from Kiev, DakhaBrakha, return to the stage with a major European tour at a pivotal moment not only for their home country Ukraine but also for the whole world. Known for their amazing shows, the quartet will visit many countries to meet their fans, including Greece.
With an incredibly powerful stage presence, (they first appear on stage in those tall furry improvised hats), they deliver their "electric" repertoire - which includes wide-ranging vocals combined with myriad instruments with accordion, granges, harmonica and cello in a primary role. The quartet blends everything into loose musical cocktails in their own unique way: Ukrainian folk traditional songs are combined with elements of cabaret, jazz, rock, punk and hip-hop, harmonies from Balkan dance music and accompanied by traditional instruments from Russia, Australia, India and elsewhere.
At the crossroads of Ukrainian folklore and theatre, DakhaBrakha have honed an evocative musical approach based on eerie vocal harmonies and thunderous percussion, enhanced by ethereal cello and accordion reverberations. Their musical field is intimate and then becomes turbulent, springing from the depths of traditional roots and rhythms, signalling a "cultural and artistic liberation". In a time of war crisis, this in itself takes on more than one meaning.
For their concerts in Greece, DakhaBrakha have specially prepared a new and unique stage program. In a time of violent upheavals, the exploration of new musical worlds paves the way for inclusion. The award-winning Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha, as part of its tour, visits Thessaloniki with a complex repertoire.
