WMSE is proud to support Alverno Presents & DakhaBrakha at Alverno’s Pitman Theater.
Founded by former underground theater performers,
DakhaBrakha possesses an incredible stage presence that transcends its eclectic repertoire and instrumentation — which includes spacious vocals, accordion, bass drum, mouth harp and cello. The group mixes everything from traditional Ukrainian songs to punk-pop in cool yet beguiling textures, often with the close harmonies usually associated with Balkan music. “Kiev band DakhaBrakha made their US debut to a sold-out crowd that screamed for more and practically wouldn’t let them leave the stage. Word is out: this four-piece punk-folk-circus-rock band makes Gogol Bordello look like slow, lazy slugs.” (New York Music Daily)
