After selling out 2023 concerts in Vancouver and Victoria, DakhaBrakha is now touring its spectacular musical-visual performance back to B.C. The world-music quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine brings a powerful message of solidarity to the Massey Theatre in New Westminster on March 29, and the University Farquhar Auditorium in Victoria on March 30.

Founded in 2004 at Kyiv’s Dakh Theatre, self-described “ethno-chaos” band DakhaBrakha creates a bright, unique, and unforgettable musical landscape. The program for this tour includes DakhaBrakha’s hits from across six albums, as well as new tracks written during the current Ukraine-Russia war.

Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, and Ukrainian traditional instrumentation, the quartet produces an astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range. With influences from Ukrainian folk, world sounds, and theatre, the ensemble’s musical spectrum is at first intimate then riotous, plumbing the depths of contemporary roots and rhythms.

DakhaBrakha’s musical performance is enhanced by a powerful video projections featuring animations from different artists: they range from bright and bold, to celebratory, to curious, to dark, with the recurring message “Ukraine Will Win”.

Tickets to this uniquely creative and culturally significant performance are at Caravan World Rhythms.
