Hidden Track Session: DakhaBrakha

DakhaBrakha combines traditional folk and punk, drawing inspiration from their Ukrainian homeland with a global sensibility.
Melodies from the ancient past collide with future sounds. They like to describe their style as “ethno-chaos.”
At CKUA, we were treated to a visit from touring dignitaries DakhaBrakha while they were on tour. It was the full four-piece band in all their full, distinctive instrumentation, in full regalia, and in all their glory.
For this episode of Hidden Track Sessions, the band set up in CKUA’s Edmonton performance space and shared a scorching set of three epic songs and a very rare English language interview.
