DakhaBrakha
Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha brings their brand of musical “ethno-chaos” to The Theatre at the Ace Hotel, promising an exuberant, entirely new, trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture

‘Musically, the whole experience is a riotous explosion of colour and reinvention. The classic Eastern European folk base is there, with belting, complex and hypnotic harmonies.' — Hackney Citizen
Doors Open: 7:00 PM
Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha returns to The Theatre at Ace Hotel following their raucous sold-out 2022 engagement.
Meaning “give/take” in the old Ukrainian language, their name signals the quartet’s unique brand of musical “ethno-chaos.”
By breaking down stylistic barriers and exploring shared resonances, DakhaBrakha re-territorializes foreign timbres into their own folk theater vernacular, giving new form to old customs, and creating an exuberant, entirely new, trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture.
Like expeditionary musical cartographers, DakhaBrakha remixes the map of world music, embodying an experimental, playful approach that cuts across traditional boundaries.
