DakhaBrakha is a Ukrainian folk music quartet which combines the musical styles of several ethnic groups.[1][2] It was a winner of the Sergey Kuryokhin Prize in 2009 and the Shevchenko National Prize in 2020.[3]
DakhaBrakha is a project of the Dakh Contemporary Arts Center, led by Vladyslav Troitskyi and born as a live theater music crew. Troitskyi continues to be the band's producer. Members of DakhaBrakha participate in the centre's other projects, notably in the all-female cabaret project Dakh Daughters, as well as in the annual Gogolfest festival.
