DakhaBrakha - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Timestamps: 0:17 - Sonnet 6:34 - 9 nedilechok 14:22 - Rozhestov 23:01 - Interview

This is their third KEXP performance. The previous ones were so full of life and joy. This time the sadness is overwhelming.

Дякую за прекрасну музику в цей складний час.

DakhaBrakha you are a treasure. Thank you for the beautiful music.

Extraordinary music from a band without peers. They are touring in N. America and Europe for most of the summer. If possible see them live, it will likely be the musical experience of your life. Slava Ukraine. Peace.

DakhaBrakha are the best. They touch something inside you didn't know was there. Wishing peace and justice to Ukraine!

The a capella singing with the cello drone in the second song made me cry. May Ukraine be restored to independence, peace, and happiness, and may its profound culture thrive.

DakhaBrakha are the Ukrainian music ambassadors to the world. Take solace that your music has opened many hearts in the world, and this has helped to open doors for Ukraine's people. Your voices will never be silenced.

OMG. I’m crying. So wonderful to see these beautiful people ❤️ I’ve thought about them often. For Ukraine 🇺🇦

DakhaBrakha is my favorite band I've found through KEXP. Im so glad they are still together, safe, and making music. Slava Ukraini!!

Some of the most incredible musical artists I have ever heard and I cannot get enough of them, their music is transcendent and almost hypnotic ! There is so much feeling and emotion in it which comes through in every performance and it seems almost effortless for them but clearly a lot goes into being this good !

Just when you thought it couldn‘t get any better … that‘s the thing with DakhaBrakha … they do get better and better

Welcome back DakhaBrakha!!! Awesome to see you here again. Love you guys loads. Thank you so much for what you do!!!!

I was lucky to visit their live performance for the first time aboit 15 years ago. They were great and authentic. I'm happy they became such a big name in music world! Hope to listen to them live in Ukraine after our victory! 🤞

You can tell these people have the souls of artists. I’m glad to see they’re well. They’re as special and one of kind as it gets.

Oh, I can't wait to listen to this whole thing - love this group!! Wishing peace for Ukraine and success for this unique and brilliant band.

I discovered Dakha Brakha years ago thru KEXP and Tiny Desk. And there is something so primal and familiar about their music it makes me wonder if there’s still something in my genes from Ukraine back 100 years in my ancestry.

I feel so lucky that I get to live in a world where DakhaBrakha exists.

10/10 unique and outstanding band and it’s beautiful to see them perform in these times. Everything about this performance is amazing. Peace to Ukraine.

Неперевершені, як завжди. Браво!

One of my favorite groups! Truly magical. Peace and hope to the people of Ukraine.

Art will live trough times like this. This project/band is such an inspiration from its very begining. Peace to ukrainian peoples 🇺🇦 Peace to all of us ✌️ Thx KEXP

Still in great shape. Slava🇵🇱🇺🇦

ДахаБраха моє серце, душа - все ваше, люблю назавжди. щиро Вам дякую за вашу творчість, кожне прослуховування пісні наче відроджує щось дуже важливе в мені, що колись втратили мої пращури:(

this is the most healing music during these dark times... thank you and love from Ukraine.

I love them as the embodiment of pure art and authenticity. Glory and peace to Ukraine 🇺🇦 Stay with us, hear us and support us, as we’re standing for all of you now.

Brutal... to say the least!!! So good from the internet to have access to a radio that allows us to know so much good stuff!!! Thank you for being the alternative and spreading the music culture in this way... Well done!!!! Amazing!!!

Прекрасний виступ, достойне інтерв'ю, розумні слова, дякую вам. Бажаю успіху в турі. Слава Господу і Мир Україні

Pełny profesjonalizm i piękno wykonania

Чудово !!!! Буча слухає Вас ! Насолоджуємося вашою творчістю та пишаємося Вами !!!!

Wow, this group has developed a lot since I last checked in with them a couple years ago. I LOVE the new material. The vocal harmonies especially are so evocative!

9 nedilechok - one of those DakhaBrakha's jazzy-style songs (not so much of them unlikely) which definitely MUSIC to my ears.I felt myself like Ulysses seduced by the singing of three beautiful sirens and will never forget their voices

Amazing.. May they soon get their Country back.

як завжди молодці!

Закохалась у цей колектив одразу, як побачила вперше. Неперевершено!!!!! Незрівнянно!!!!! Самобутньо!!!!!

Tears streaming down, from joy and sadness. Peace to Ukraine!

Maravilhoso, minha banda favorita. Conhecer Dakhabrakha foi a melhor experiência musical que já pude ter tido. Uma foto do grupo é papel de parede do meu celular gente, é muita admiração 🤩🤩

Wow, my first time to hear this awesome music I love it!

ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! - And still kicking ass! Had dark fears after getting hooked after their last outing on KEXP a few years ago, so very happy such were misplaced.

Найліпші♥️

I haven’t been crying for several months now. But watching this concert made me burst into tears. Love you, Dakha Brakha! And I do hope you come to Asheville this autumn

Ačiū! Muzika ir energija, kurią skleidžia šie Žmonės išneša kažkur tolyn.. į save. AČIŪ! SLAVA UKRAINI!💜

Pure magic.

They are epic, love them so much! Thank you 💛💙

Can we have Dakh Daughters back at KEXP? I love Nina's other incarnation.

Очень мощно! Музыка просто зачаровывает!

Omg, ty for performing Sonnet, I was searching for live version ages ❤️

they are incomparable, playing in their own league - a real treasure

After caring almost 24/7 for my father suffering from Parkinson’s losing him abruptly in a bad way I found myself with cash saved but due to fecking Covid the possibility of moving back to New York City I felt the need to not be stationary. Inspired by Ian Frazier’s Travels Siberia and the profound wonderful effect felt from watching Dhaka Braka’s live KEXP the one Baby closed out maybe 50 times I decided I would travel through out the Ukraine and see if my love of this band and football would take me. Not knowing the language I would really on Dhaka Braka, Sheva, Rebrov and Lobanovskyi. Maybe hone up on my FC Donetsk Shakhtar history. I felt surely a good book was in there or at least adventure.. a possible fatal adventure but really the best ones usually are. Than after witnessing the full on war at the aforementioned Donetsk a few years earlier in that rather predictable and vile way how sociopaths in power so blindly and foolishly tend to do Ukraine was invaded and thus the great Dhaka Braka common love of football trip experiment was over. Though with daily reminders of a parent and best friend hitting me like a baseball bat and waves of guilt and sadness greeting me when I woke up and went to bed perhaps I should have pulled a audible to a Dhaka Braka, common love of football and helping defend a proud nation should have occurred the fatal adventure factor ramped up for sure. After seeing how the Ukrainian people stayed stoic, defiant and so flippin unflappable in the face of an enemy that would overwhelm most stern and proud countries I decided they were probably better off without the idiot American “writer” muttering “Dhaka , Rebrov , clearly Spain or Italy were better choices for his style of play than the Prem but ya never know…” nearby a bomb explodes on impact “ crazy on the track Baby how does he get his voice so high and yes her vocal solo at the end does seem to tear through the very fabric of time itself..” Cowering clutching my pen and notepad as every form of hell rained down around me. No the Ukrainian people had enough on their plate not needing the decision of “ should we carry the random dude mumbling consistent gibberish, doesn’t seem injured physically but injured clearly not injured but what’s the word … he is clearly touched in the brain.” So I bravely well in my own way bravely took one for the team and stayed where I be for the greater good of all involved. I guess that’s technically the rest of people residing on,earth? 🤔

Дякую, за чудову музику)

On February 22 my daughter and I were at their concert in Zaporizhia, and on February 25 we fled the city because of the war

Thanks!!!! I love them so much!!!!!

lovely singing

Продолжают делать прекрасную музыку с очень тонким чувством вкуса. Спасибо!

Добре!!! Хочу на концерт!!!♥️🌻💛💙

❤❤❤Ce sont les meilleurs des meilleurs

Peace for Ukraine, for all those families who lost an important person in your life, sent you a big hug and greetings from México ...

This beautiful performance is a like a cry for peace and brings a vibration of peace within me. Thank you.

Muito lindo! Gosto por demais de vcs! Abraços do Brasil! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Яке чудове поєднання українського народного співу з сучасним джазом.👏👏👏

One of my fave bands in the whole world

This was the best new music experience for me for months.

Oh, my! Thank you for this.

Thank you for hosting them again. I can hear how their music has changed. The underlying cadence of the drums and piano. Some of the rapping reminds me of the first time I heard MC Solar. The ladies voices are as true as they always have been, since the first time I heard them mimicing birds introducing spring. Vesna. i remember. I remember exactly where I was. I feel this is a very important ensemble.

Amazing ❣️ love and peace from Germany

Це щось. Мурашки по шкірі

I love this group's sound. Gonna check more out for sure.

Their music is out of this world. So glad they came in for yet another performance. Slava Ukraini!

Love them. So much. Hope to see them someday. They touch the spirit inside you. It’s such a good listen. ❤

шикарно

Thanks!

Дуже заворожливо! Кохаю 🙏🇺🇦

Про цей музичний гурт я почув по радіо під час інтерв'ю Сергію Жадану. Чудовий гурт, чудова музика! Путін до вигрібної ями, слава Україні! З повагою, з Польщі

wow, their music has really evolved. More mellow and yet deeper and wider. I was in a band that opened up for them in Taos, NM...2014. I am a drummer and it is so cool to see how this band is expanding, growing and changing...the sound engineers nailed it.

Living music at its best, DakhaBrakha always did this. Thank you very much for presenting this gem from Kyiv. Incredibly well presented KEXP, including the translation in the interview.

Thank you for your beautiful music. Much love, from texas

Просто magic 🇺🇦

Як же я люблю вас!

Good to hear you on kexp again .

Listening to this was like listening to Portishead for the first time.

Beautiful, honest and reliable people, true artists! Seen many of their perfomances on YT, learned what they are capable of and, what can I say, they can move the mountains! And they DO. Last night seen them LIVE, Wroclaw, Poland. Incredible performance. Lots of Ukrainians in the audience, which gave them a new set of wings while playing. Sort of "home, sweet home" feeling... Olena, Irinka, Ninka, Marko - diakuju duże. Ne zupinajtes, nikoly! Slava Ukraini!

Our treasure! 💙 💛

Like&Love 💖✨🌞

Magic. Love these 4 and what they bring for us. Slava Ukainie
