love this band my favorite song by them is vesna

Thank you sir !!! I recommend listening to this song ONUKA - ZENIT (Official Music Video) Onuka feat. NAONI Orchestra - Megamix - Interval act - 2017 Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final

DakhaBrakha, the band says it means "give and take" in old Ukranian. Their songs usually use actual Ukranian folk songs, collected on field trips to remote villages, as lyrics melded with totally new compositions by the whole band as far as I know. They take influences from everywhere. "Sonnet" is an actual Shakspearean sonnet (# 77?) set to music. Their singing is simply on a higher level than anyone else. No group has ever had 4 singers this brilliant, a catalog of unique, exceptional compositions, and instrumental playing akin to the workings of some extremely expensive Swiss watch. After 3 years, I'm still boggled by their brilliance.

@@JohnCregoWorldMusic Review "9 nedilechok" from their most recent KEXP session. Prepare to be mind-boggled. I discovered them in June 2019, promptly bought all their albums, and bookmarked every concert I came across on KZread. I still listen to them several times a week. The immense sense of joy, serenity, and beauty their songs convey has helped me get through the last several horrible years. IMO they are the first band to truly synthesize world music into a coherent style. The problem with trying to play this style is the impossibly high standard they set. They make most other music sound trite and banal.

Absolutely correct, it is indeed "giving and taking". They started as a band in the Dakh (Roof) theater. Discovered them in 2008, still sound fresh and beautiful.

Long live Ukraine

The picture they paint with this song is of three Teenage Girls who are babysitting their little Brother, in the Garden. Picture a warm Summer Afternoon and two of the Girls are staring over the stone Wall at a passing Dude who attracts their attention as they speculate about enticing Him to their Garden. Lena and Irena weave some tapestry of tempo and harmony that as it is tied together by the Masculine ribbon of the voice of Nina's Cello. Marco keeps reminding them of his presence and as you get drawn into the perfection of the Harmony that the Two Women weave and you feel like they just could not get any better than this Nina cuts loos wailing to her Nightengale about being jilted by some unfaithful Lover..... One person who claimed that the Aria that Nina injects caused symptoms of Brain Cancer to vanish temporarily. I always feel the top of my skull lifting slightly. They get standing Ovations for this song in places from the Kennedy Center to Chanhassen. I have been needing a daily dose of Dakhabrakha to keep my Karma straight.....

Thank you sir !

Радий це зробити.

In old Ukrainian Dakha means "to give" and Brakha means "to get".

This is a great band.

Thanks for the reaction!

basically they take ancient Ukrainian folk songs and then set them to beautiful jazzy modern tempos

They sing about unhappy love of a young lady.

adoro esta banda me enccanta gracias por la reaccion

A very interesting sound indeed.

DakhaBrakha from Ukraine

"Dahka Brakha" are two words of Sanskrit origin. "Dahka" means "to give". "Brakha" means "to take". It is very consonant with these words in the Ukrainian language.

The song is about unhappy love. A girl and a guy are both don't know if this feelings are good for them. "If I didn't know you my heart won't be suffering and I would be in peace" - they sing in some moment

👍👍👍🇺🇦💛💙

It isn't pure traditional Ukrainian music, but a fusion of different music styles with purely traditional Ukrainian folk singing I would say

💛💙💛💙💛🇺🇦🤗

+1 sbscr from Ukraine!
