SF’s Yerba Buena Gardens Festival 2025

Introducing DakhaBrakha, a world-music subversive punk-folk quartet from Kiev, Ukraine. Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, “ethno-chaos” band DakhaBrakha, creates a world of unexpected new music like you’ve never heard before. Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian traditional instrumentation, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a trans-national sound rooted in Ukrainian culture.
Also featuring Kitka, a celebrated women’s vocal arts ensemble inspired by traditional songs and vocal techniques from Eastern Europe. The octet has earned international recognition for its earthy to ethereal timbres evoking an astonishing range of subtle to extreme inner states, instincts, and emotions.
