In 2024, the Ukrainian world-music quartet "DakhaBrakha" is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Founded in the Kyiv theater “Dakh" in 2004, the band became a symbol of the formation of a new Ukraine – free, bold, independent. Over 20 years, "DakhaBrakha", whose sound combines the authenticity of Ukrainian song with the driving rhythm of various instruments (from percussion to cello), have come a long way, conquering the main venues of the world: Glastonbury, Sziget, Pogoda, GlobalFEST, and dozens of others – from Mexico to South Korea.
The band is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a major tour! More cities in the World will hear the powerful voice of the most famous Ukrainian band in the world, which today is an ambassador for a country that is heroically resisting Russian aggression.
"We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming European tour, celebrating 20 years of our musical journey! We can’t wait to reunite with you soon and share both our well-known songs and new songs! Some of these new tunes reflect on the tragic moments caused by the Russian invasion, paying tribute to the thousands of Ukrainians lost and the millions of shattered dreams," wrote the band.
The European leg of the tour will run from November 14th to December 14th. The band will perform concerts in 16 countries: Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Latvia, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, and Iceland.
"DakhaBrakha" was born of theatrical energies, so their concerts are a powerful performance that combines the spectacle and holistic dramaturgy of theater, the uniqueness of folk song and genre musical diversity, from hip-hop to blues. The program for the 20th anniversary includes the hits of "DakhaBrakha" from six albums, as well as new tracks written during the full-scale war.
During the concerts, the band will present both familiar works and new ones:
"Some of them reflect on the tragic events caused by the treacherous Russian invasion, reflecting on the thousands of Ukrainians killed and millions of shattered destinies," commented DakhaBrakha.
