Dakhabrakha’s Ukrainian “ethno chaos” combines beguiling harmonies, ecstatic beats and brilliant theatrics. Dengue Fever brings a powerful blend of 60’s Cambodian pop, psychedelic rock and global grooves.

Ukrainian “ethno chaos” band DakhaBrakha craft stunning new sonic worlds for traditional songs, reinventing their heritage with a keen ear for contemporary resonances. With one foot in the urban avant-garde and the other foot in Ukrainian village culture, DakhaBrakha shows the full fury and sensuality of some of Eastern Europe’s most breathtaking folklore. Their musical spectrum ranges from intimate to riotous, plumbing the depths of contemporary roots and rhythms, and inspiring “cultural and artistic liberation.” Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian traditional instrumentation, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture, presented with a strong theatrical visual element. bq. bq.
