«DakhaBrakha».

in «Art Arsenal» a concert
of«DakhaBrakha» will take place (art head
–Vladyslav Troitskyi) – ethno-chaos band that
during of four years time of its existence has performed with concerts
and plays (in the frames of “Mystic Ukraine”
project of “DAKH” theatre) on numerous world stages in Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Georgia,
Poland and Russia. “DakhaBrakha” breaks down all
stereotypes of “nonformat” – creating on
the basis of authentic folk Ukrainian, Russian and Bulgarian songs they
boldly intersperse them with rhythms and melodies of other music
directions. Theme of this year festival
«Sheshory’2008 - Podilski» is polyphony.
