Makes Its San Diego Debut
La Jolla, C.A.—Focusing on powerful and inspiring women’s voices, the final Global Music series performance at ArtPower at UC San Diego features Ukrainian music quartet DakhaBrakha. Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, the band creates a world of unexpected new music with influence from Ukrainian folk music accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, Russian, and Australian traditional instrumentation.

Consisting of band members Marko Halanevych, Iryna Kovalenko, Olena Tsibulska, and Nina Garenetska, the band’s name means “give/take” in the old Ukrainian language.
