DakhaBrakha: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

People always ask me, "What's your favorite Tiny Desk Concert?" Well, right now it's the one recently performed by DakhaBrakha. The creative quartet from Kiev, Ukraine make music that sounds like nothing I've ever heard, with strands of everything I've ever heard. There are rhythms that sound West African and drone that feels as if it could have emanated from India or Australia. At times, DakhaBrakha is simply a rock band whose crazy homeland harmonies are filled with joy. All the while, they play tight-knit tunes featuring accordion, drums, reeds and shakers while wearing tall, Marge Simpson-looking wool hats that made me jealous.
I want the world to see this Tiny Desk Concert more than any other right now. It's refreshing to hear the power of acoustic music and the many worlds of sound still waiting to be explored. -- BOB BOILEN

@@ahnenthor Well the way it was said maybe was bit off, but it's true, the vast majority of what they do is Ukrainian folk. They have a few songs that have modern influences, but those are obvious. It doesn't have to be Tibetan just because it has drone tones, a ton of folkmusic has drone tones, it also doesn't have to be African just because it has call and response, also quite common in folkmusic.

Wow. Just wow. There is an invisible barrier between certain kinds of music and people like me. This kind of music, for example. People like me are the kind who love music but who feel a terrible embarrassment at the idea of being one of these musicians and - for want of a better expression - doing the shouting/wooping/screaching parts. It is precisely this kind of music, however, that brings out of me the kind of feeling that makes people do those things in the song. That unashamed expression of feeling/passion/happiness(or indeed sadness) which is so important a part of the music, but which would be terribly embarrassing for me to do... that's... what... 'power', 'freedom' or something like it. Perhaps that's too deep a way to thinkg about it.

One of my favorite Tiny Desk Concerts ever, what a gem... seriously high energy, high drama... Bob Boilen, you are a genius to give opportunity to such offbeat talent

+billder999 they're actually a fairly large band in Ukraine

+Riley Schwarcz This is exactly why I love Tiny Desk Concerts... how else would I ever hear a great band from Ukraine? I watch all the TDCs, every single one of the over 500 concerts... I really like about 10% of them enough to mark as favorites, and to listen again and again... that is 50+ bands I never would have heard of otherwise.

We 3rd worlders tend to believe americans know Rihanisms and Adelisms only. But we´re wrong, aren´t we?

Saw them perform at Bonnaroo 2014. They were incredible and the crowd was totally feeling them. A great time was had by all.

Maybe the most original music I've heard...ever...Right away I knew these guys were awesome--so much talent--but why is the girl on the cello not a full-blown Rock Star?--She's way too cool...The voices and harmonies are sweet, and it does not matter at all that I don't understand their words--In fact maybe the language barrier contributes to the beauty for me.
