DakhaBrakha is a Ukrainian folk quartet which combines the musical styles of several ethnic groups.[1][2] It was a winner of the Sergey Kuryokhin Prize in 2009.

DakhaBrakha is a project of the DAKh Center for Contemporary Art, led by Vladyslav Troitskyi and born as a live theater music crew. Troiskyi continues to be the band's producer. Members of DakhaBrakha participate in the centre's other projects, notably in the all-female cabaret project Dakh Daughters, as well as in the annual Gogolfest festival.

Members

All of the members are graduates of the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts. Nina Garenetska takes part in Dakh Daughters project.
