DakhaBrakha - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

This is the most original music I’ve heard in decades (I’m 67). I’m in love with each of these beautiful women, love this music

God, that smile on the cello player in *EVERY* video is contagious. Awesome group, would love to see them live.

Poland is Ukraine's neighbour, I'm priviledged to understand most of what they say in their mother's tongue (partially due to my Ukrainian roots...). That makes the whole experience rise even to a higher level for me. DaxaBraxa really are a culture ambassador of Ukraine to the rest of world. They are top class, second to none, as artists, as the human beings as well. Came across many interviews with them, always pleased 'n enjoyed. I sincerily love what they do, I'm not an exception here, am I? Love, peace, music unites! BTW: Darek, despite your Italian-sounding last name, ain't you have some Polish-based ancestors, perhaps? When I hear you say "co się stało" (eng. "what happend") I cannot have any other connotations, you know... And your first name sounds nothig but Polish, you know... KEXP: you did a great job. Video and sound are just excellent quality! Regards, Chris

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE. The voices, instruments, timing, costumes....OMG YES, transcendental, hypnotic, exquisite.

At this point I have no idea how to tell people what kind of music I am into...

The Universe was good to me today. I found this treasure.

I feel like I’m 13, finding punk rock for the first time again. This is so great. I’m sad I’ll never have another first time hearing it.

Cheers from Greece to all people worldwide that appreciate genuine, deep, heart touching art!

i don't know why, but I'm crying

Пробирає до кісток, відчуття, ніби повернувся в своє рідне село і сиджу на лісовій галявині, а це тільки перша пісня. Я неймовірно щасливий і гордий, що мої співвітчизники створили щось подібне

I was enthralled by your nation's music then moved to tears knowing your struggle. Peace, love and hope.

Congratulations! You have just unlocked a life achievement by stumbling across this video.

So you open this video. You've listened to KEXP before, A lot of music went into your ears. You've even traveled the world to witness concerts and festivals; to expose yourself to culture. So you open this video. The thumbnail makes you expect some simple folk music, right? Or perhaps some exceptionally obscure stuff that only the hipster impulses in you will acknowledge is good. Then these wondrous people start making sounds from nature with their mouth and you think you know where this is going, but every progression is a curve ball fucking with your expectations but still being exceptionally easy to like. What a trip. Now I gotta see this band live, whatever it takes!

You don’t need to understand music, you feel it. When you feel it in your heart, you will tear up for sure.

I’m back for yet another repeat of Nina’s smile and the music of course. I’ve hardly listened to any other music for about 8 weeks now. DakhaBrakha’s albums are all on BandCamp at very reasonable price. The studio material is subtly different to their excellent live arrangements and reveal the truly amazing talent of this group. In my 71 years they are the first band to inspire me to learn a foreign language! I’m desperately hoping they manage another tour of Australia before I die.

Discovered this group by happy accident only this evening. Phenomenal talent and a joy to hear. And then I'm told they're from Ukraine at this worrisome time of war between this nation and Russia. Here the band members all look like they are having a great time, but this was recorded before the invasion of their country. Hope it is all over soon. Long live Ukraine.

I love how it looks like they are expending absolutely no energy doing these amazing things.

Just love it!!! Дякую from Lithuania 💛💚❤ 🇱🇹

this is most unusual, so interesting, charming, so creative, so wonderful, it really touches me deep, should music not always be as fresh as this?

Had never heard of this band, and then today came upon them doing a free performance in the East Village in NYC. What incredibile, captivating, and mutifaceted musicians and performers they are! I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a concert do much. Amazing band!

I just saw them at Jazz Fest here in New Orleans - tremendous, haunting and beautiful

oh geez, when the cello player belts it out in the song 'Baby' I got tears...such beautiful music.

Maybe it helps: Vesna 0:21 Q&A 7:46 Carpathian Rap 10:10 Q&A 16:09 Monakh 17:54 Q&A 23:05 Baby 25:28 Final Q&A 32:48

Absolutely amazing. Haunting, surprising, unforgettable, & beautiful. Love you much. Wishing you & your beloved Ukraine freedom and peace soon. Much love from Richmond, VA, USA.

This is so beautiful, I was looking for music by ‘dead can dance’ and I came across this beautiful folk music, it really touches your soul, this should be on the world heritage list, it brought me to tears!! 🙏

The first song, calling for Spring with the sounds of bird song and the fluttering of wings, is exquisite! I am listening to it as we are coming into Spring; this song expresses it so very, very well.

This is one of the most incredible things I've ever heard Thank you DakhaBrakha

Ukraine is soul.

This is absolutely transcendental . I come from Sudan. I know nothing about Ukrainian culture or music, and I am glad this was my first exposure.

I was doing dishes, and “Baby” started playing. Instantly started tearing up to where I couldn’t see what I was doing, and idk why. When your music hits a person that hard, and they can’t even understand you, you are legendary. Get it together Nick.... You’re a man!

It's the most beautiful music I've ever heard 💔

This is real music. The best kind. Original. Not corporate. Emotional. Heartfelt. I teared up during the first and fourth songs.

This music is yet another reminder why our diversity is our strength. 🌍❤️

Never expected myself to listen to some awesome transcendental Ukrainian folk rap this morning

Sometimes life puts you down, and you have to struggle and gain strength out of nowhere to just continue living... and sometimes you ask yourself what is the meaning of all this. But in rare occasions you encounter something like this video and even though you have no answers, you stop worrying about the questions for a moment. And that is beautiful!

Oh my word this is outstanding!!! Straight gangsta Ukrainian folk funk rhythm!!! What a gem to come across!!!!

this was the first time in my life I cried of pure joy, this is literally the most beautiful form of art Ive ever experienced

My ❤ is with the people of Ukraine🌹🌹🌹

From Spain, I don´t have word about this group. I dream with watching this group in live.

Remember all the concerts you were at? Badly rarely performers could sing live as much as on an album. This band can! Can imitate musical instruments, sounds of nature, animals... Can be in different genres and even read rap. The music is so strong. Even without knowing the words you will get the max ears pleasure! It's worth listening and sharing! Many thanks to the performers! Dackabrakha the best!☄

If only I could love any job as much as the cellist loves hers.

Thanks to all of you for supporting Ukraine! I can't stop the tears listening to this, it is taken from our souls..

The artistry and talent of this group are absolutely unmatched, and they keep bringing out yet more hidden treasures from within the depths of Ukrainian folklore. Breathtaking!!!!!!!!!

i was crying after one minute. Instantly transported to the forest. They have some raw primal energy to share these wonderful people.

The first track is absolutely mind blowing, absolutely beautiful, on every level.

This music was brought this to my attention today. This is the second time someone has encouraged me to listen to DakhaBrakha. The first time was long before the invasion of Ukraine. Again, I'm deeply moved by the strong spirits making this music and now concerned about the lives of these extraordinary musicians and all the people of Ukraine.

The first song makes me cry. It's simply fantastic and so emotional in the happiest way possible.

My god.I'm 22 and was contained in my sand box music type thats rock,more part psychedelic and never pass trough my mind such exotic,beauty e magestic music like this.I m great fan of rock n roll BUT i m crying of happiness at this moment... Cheers from Rio de Janeiro.

this is deep. emotionally, environmentally, experientially deep.

Can't understand the words but the this music stirs the imagination and touches the heart. Going to see them in Los Angeles. 🇺🇦 💘

I love the music of DakhaBrakha.I'm wishing the Ukrainian people peace. 日本からウクライナの平和を祈ります

I cried at 'Vesna'.

Ці переспіви в сучасній обробці, дістають до глибин генетичної памяті українця. Ця музика навією мені і смуток і радість і любов. Вона омиває душу, змиваючи з неї все гамірне, нещире та нице, підіймаючи з її глибин щось радісне та непередаване на словах, немов мозок розчиняється в ціх ритмах. Дуже файно!

Very few music posts keep me to the end ... beautiful. I don’t know what the songs mean, but I know how they feel.

Thank KEXP for the discovery, i will see this band live in France the 19th january :)

Speechless. Hails to my Slavic brothers and sisters. All the way from Texas. This is fucking amazing.

I have honestly never seen anything like this

The first song almost brought me to tears and then "Carpathian Rap" started and holy shit this is the greatest left-turn in a KEXP concert I've ever listened too. Undoubtly one of the coolest groups I've seen in this channel. Astonishing.

You don't need a translation it's so beautiful...you just know through the feels.

Love their outfits. They're all beautiful people. Jaw dropping sounds.

Vesna is one of my favorites. This group blows open the doors to the soul.

My wife has seen me cry a whole lot this week because of that last song. Thank you for creating this sound. I really can’t explain just how wonderful you guys are.

Praying for you & our beautiful Ukraine. Gorgeous & thank you❤

Between this and Huun Huur Tu, KEXP are utterly killing it in terms of modern folk music. High regards from Scotland.

They need to headline Coachella. As ukrainian, I can't even express my huge love to their music.

We keep the Ukrainian flag up until the war is over. This music says so much about the love for their country, their home. Love from The Netherlands❤❤

Hit differently today... :- (((((((

its like having a hallucination for my ears

If we could get more people to listen ,I mean really listen to DakhaBrakha this world would be a better place. Be proud Ukraine.

The talent from these four people oozes out of every pore! Humanity demonstrating its best.

I have just returned from the live concert, gotta say it was an incredible experience, very original and fun! Thank you very much! Free Ukraine!

feeling the shaman spirit! as a half Crimean Tatar Turk , I always proud of my half-Ukrainian side

I love Dakha Brakha please come to Ireland!!!!!!! 😍 😍 😍 😍

That song, Baby!? Oh my gosh... amazing! Love it!

That confusion of bird sounds at the beginning, I didn't even realize it was them making them! I felt for the cameraman who seemed equally baffled

This is one of the best things RU-vid EVER recommended me to watch/listen to. Never heard anything like it, they're fantastic!!

You could play this in a techno set and the crowd would love it. I'm not questioning why I love this Sooooo much, I just do.

Unlike anything I have ever experienced. Out of this world for sure. Strange that I am here listening to them while the country gets bombed. May they survive this.

It's 4/20/22 and I was listening to WUKY 91.3 in Lexington, KY on the way home from work, and there was a segment on, and they were showcased, and I had to make myself try to remember the name of this group so I could get home and look them up on the internet. It brought me here and I think I have found a new musical love interest. Just fantastic.

What kind of merciful God has prevented this to go world wide famous? They deserve the recognition other artists are getting and are so not to their level.

Currently the best band on planet earth.

Prekrasna glazba. Topla mila slavenska duša. Best regards from Croatia

A smiling Nina is all you need to have a happy day ♥

Makes me want to dance around a camp fire in the forest on a cold night under a sky full of stars! Love it

The moment when you are proud to be a Ukrainian listener of KEXP.

Wow, I never knew...I absolutely love this music. It's just inspiring to say the least! And dark. But so joyful too. Thank you, thank you! Each member is so unique, I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen, they seem so proud but humble too, they are definitely balanced 😊❤

This has become even more relevant now ...

Боже, які вони круті!

had the pleasure of hearing this group at the Vancouver island Music Festival last night. I'm hooked.

Solidarity with Ukraine and its people!!!

I am in love. This is beautiful beyond words.

Greetings from Colombia, I love your culture

Той випадок, коли важко утримати сльози, Харків з вами.

Voted #1 Greatest Live Music Performance on RU-vid by me. Recording, mixing, and producing crew also top of the tops.

This is one of the most romantic music expression I've ever seen in my life.

From Ukraine with love

This is the most infectious, uplifting, interesting music I have stumbled across in years. All of them look like they are having a blast playing.

This world could be such a worthy place to live, there are so much beautyful things, but humans get it done, making it a place where we all suffer...., I hope this will change soon after thousands of years of suffering

Wow, never heard this kind of music before, the first one was my favorit, where they use birds sounds. 🤩

I love how much fun they are having. My first exposure tu Ukranian music, I love it, the sound of their voices coming together, its amazing. Vesna is my favorite song :)
