DakhaBrakha (Ukraine) Performs Live Soundtrack to Dovzhenko's “Earth” (1930) at PS21

Blending elements of sound and soul, Ukrainian “ethno-chaos” band DakhaBrakha—a quartet from Kyiv—creates a world of unexpected new music. Their name, “DakhaBrakha,” means “give/take” in Old Ukrainian, and reflects their resilience and philosophy. Having experimented with Ukrainian folk music, the band added rhythms of the surrounding world to create the unique and original style that has become their hallmark. At PS21, DakhaBrakha will perform their original live accompaniment to Oleksandr Dovzhenko’s “Earth,” the 1930 Ukrainian silent film masterpiece. "It’s really the live shows that take DakhaBrakha beyond mere curiosity to utter brilliance.” — NPR
