"Baby" DakhaBrakha Live in Minneapolis August 27, 2014

DakhaBrakha is a four-piece Ukrainian music group that's easy to love, but hard to categorize. Their sound is rooted in the traditional motifs and instrumentation of their homeland. But they've synthesized their folk roots with music of the western world in a unique and powerful new way. I had the special privilege to capture their show in Minneapolis, thanks to their Art Manager, Iryna Gorban. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible.

I'm a 53 year old guy and I have to fight back the tears every time I listen to this. Extraordinary.

[@HiHi-lf1hx]

Why 'fighting back' ?!? - You're holding back Tears-Of-Joy, and nothing else!! Nothing to be ashamed of..., in the contrary: that's just a sign for a high sensitivity to music/sounds. Just let them flow..., and discover a new experience of 'Crying-Joy' ! Not many people, I know, have the ability of 'letting the music flow directly into their heart' . Most people are just able only to listen with their ears ('eyes..., which can not see the essential' 'The Little Prince' by Saint-Exupéry)!! Contact me at '[e-mail]', if You'd like to 'cry some more' or get to know a bit about my personal 'Crying-Experience' ;)

[@greggrobinson5116]

You're not alone! I don't know what they're saying, don't know what they're singing about, but pretty sure it's about love, cause that's what it feels like.

[@user-di3jj7gg1o]

@@greggrobinson5116 Just wanted to let you know you're right, the women are singing about a love who broke their heart that they wish they'd never met. It makes me really happy that that carries over even past language

[@HiHi-lf1hx]

Surely unfamiliar to most 'civilized' persons, but these were 'TEARS OF JOY'. DakhaBrakha's music comes DIRECTLY from the HEART, without making any detour to the brain, so it reaches the absolute 'ESSENCE OF HUMAN NATURE', which everybody was permanently aware of,....BEFORE 'Adam & Eve' ;-)

[@gillesbourgeois5348]

@@HiHi-lf1hx Nina's singing lament is a pure jewel put upon the flowing river of emotions created by Olena and Yrina's incantations. They could recite the user guide of a microwave oven, they would radiate the same intensity and light! It happens to be an old folk love song.

If it becomes the One World you, evoke, there won't be ethnocentric, peculiar music such as this. No self-affirming particularities, no joy, no pride, no beauty such as this.

[@sergeybebenin]

Frank Schmidtsdorff Check out Dakh Daughters band. Also very unique and artistic.

[@HiHi-lf1hx]

So according to you, 'creativity' is only the result of combining several associations in one's brain. That's one way, that leads to crativity, but the result is mostly 'junk', just 'intellectual beauty', maybe. To the contrary, DakhaBrakha's creativity comes directly from THE HEART, without making any detours to the brain (with it's EGO) and without depending on any culture or environment,...it's just WHAT IT IS: Pure JOY ;-) !!

[@gillesbourgeois5348]

@@HiHi-lf1hx heart vs head? I believe that their music is a combination of the two! I'm a musician and when you find a melody or a riff or whatever, it necessarely (is that correct ? ) comes from somewhere out of intellectual control, lets say 'heart' to resume! But you need your head afterwards to make your inspiration become a construction like "Baby". Imagine endless discussions between the 4 musicians about this or that....And the process of their music is that montage from different pieces of texts and old melodies put together on a rythm, a groove from Nina 's cello or any thing else. When you create music in a group it means lots of talking. ...😉and the ego question is central ! 4 egoes must be in tune ....

Glad you enjoyed the show, George. I was there, too...filming it! This was the number one song they wanted captured. And I'm glad to see it's in the #1 position on their video page. I did a second video for them as well, but apparently the women didn't like their vocals, so it was never shared on their site. I think it's pretty amazing though, so I'll invite you to watch it here on vimeo: vimeo.com/110978025 Enjoy!

Hey Bruce. Thanks for the nice comments about the video. I was lucky enough to connect with the band and put together the small crew, including myself, to capture this show in one of the smallest and most intimate venues I think they've ever played. It was also a fun edit and post production experience. I did a second video for them, but apparently the women weren't as happy with their vocals, so they decided not to put it on their website. You can enjoy it on my vimeo page those. I think it's quite exciting, in a different way than "Baby". vimeo.com/110978025 Enjoy!

[@gillesbourgeois5348]

@@quasiguy hey Quasiguy! I saw your video on Vimeo, there's a mistake on the title, this is not Sho Z Pod Dubba but Torokh. I have no acount on Vimeo that's why I comment on KZbin.

[@quasiguy]

@@gillesbourgeois5348 Hi Gilles. Thanks for your input. Yes, you are correct. Due to some language challenges between the band and myself, the video you mentioned was mislabeled. Correcting it at this point would be a great idea, but not the easiest to do, for technical reasons I won't bore you with. Incidentally, this is the video the band chose not to put on their own website and home page because they weren't as happy with the vocals. (I can't hear the problems, but then, I think everything they do sounds great.) Anyway, this video gets viewed a lot less than the one I did that they put on their KZbin page ("Baby"), so I'll probably address the name mistake in a note below the video. Thanks for reaching out.

[@gillesbourgeois5348]

@@quasiguy this venue is very cool ! I'd love the whole set to be catch...torokh is different from others versions, and knowing the story you can see by their reactions and looking each others that something was not that good. ..if I can I would say that Iryna was a litt le bit more 'inventive' than usual in her singing, maybe too much ? And Marko was shouting much more higher and agressively. Anyway, this tune is not my favorite, but you did a very fine job. Baby is a masterpiece, so moving.
