Thank you DakhaBrakha, your music and positive energy are an inspiring gift to us all! WE LOVE YOU

[@jacquessicurani937]

Thanks to you for all your words and music, music which inspires me beyond words range. Thank you for shaping Music in a way that the gods should be jealous of, and gives pride to us all. Some of your songs belong with the greatest ever written, your beautiful voices, that even your beautiful faces can't compare to, make stones dance and bring tears from a dead tree. A true fan of yours from France, where I hope to see you soon, maybe even in my own concert hall! Rock on!

I have loved you're music for years! And, I thought you were Russian. With the Russian war against Ukraine I am boycotting anything Russian. When I found out you from Ukraine I was elated, ecstatic! From Chicago, I love Ukraine! Be careful, be safe, and be victorious! Bless each of you!❤❤❤

[@paulamathias7328]

I went to the US on a business trip and saw that they were playing live that week in the city I was staying in. Two work friends who didn't know the band tagged along and said it was one of the best gigs they'd ever seen!

Watching you sing and merrily make music with a bustling city outside.. just one year later.. the tragedy of war reaches all of us. We pray together.

дивовижний! Greetings from Croatia. Have to add that my one year old daughter loves this and she claps and raises hands as you play, so we dance. You got to love the great Slavic culture💗

[@distillatesound9906]

Music is about making you feel something and wanting to move your body! And this is exactly that! No need to understand the words. Doesn’t matter what part of the world music comes from. If it makes you move and feel something inside your soul...the artist and music has done its job!

[@cynthiasimmons6203]

Beautiful melodies that made my rainy day vibrant with life!! Even your smiles and the twinkle in your eyes scream LIFE💓💓💓

[@4848sky]

The 70 year-old guy in San Francisco. These guys are "crazy-good". First heard them on Tiny Desk and the saw them, live, at Freight & Salvage in Berkley. They are consistently joyful. Its hard not to smile while watching and listening to them. Thank you Dakha Brakha in these otherwise trying times. Love to all!

[@Butterflyneverlands]

So true. Their music has the power of making me happy no matter what.

[@tripsyfairy]

I also fell in love with them over their tiny desk concert. I'm so jealous you were able to see them! That's so awesome

Listening now as I continue to pray for Ukraine!

[@oatboatly]

The opener, “Komora,” with a beat change at minute three-and-a-half to knock your socks off!! 😮😍 in love 🙏💕 (don’t skip ahead or u miss the effect!)

[@greyswanlet]

Oh this has made my day! Seen them twice and would love to see them in Ukraine. We made hats to wear to the gig and got a group photo with the band. Fantastic musicians 🥰

[@TinaHyde]

Nothing like this in all the world! 🙌 So unique! So much talent and energy! That was an absolute treat to hear and see! 👏👏👏

[@magu2k]

Saw them live in 2019 a few days after their (most recent) KEXP gig was recorded. Absolutely magical. I will love this band until I am in the grave. Incredible, deep and impressive talent. Chilling yet warming harmonies. And if they do not enjoy every second of every minute they play... You would never know it. Their joy brings me joy. I yearn to hear them. I yearn to see them.

Thankyou Dakha Brakha your songs warm my heart and provide such joy. I am the daughter of a Ukrainian father and was born in UK. Your music is a long way from the sadok vishnevi of my childhood but has the same roots of ukranian life. Your amazing music is played with such imagination and talent while still retaining the roots of the polyphonic tradition is truly inspiring inspiring. Take care, be safe and wishing you all the best so we can sing along with you when when Ukraine is free again and we can look forward to hearing more music from you. Slava Ukraini.
