- People always ask me, "What's your favorite Tiny Desk Concert?" Well, right now it's the one recently performed by DakhaBrakha. The creative quartet from Kiev, Ukraine make music that sounds like nothing I've ever heard, with strands of everything I've ever heard. There are rhythms that sound West African and drone that feels as if it could have emanated from India or Australia. At times, DakhaBrakha is simply a rock band whose crazy homeland harmonies are filled with joy. All the while, they play tight-knit tunes featuring accordion, drums, reeds and shakers while wearing tall, Marge Simpson-looking wool hats that made me jealous.
I want the world to see this Tiny Desk Concert more than any other right now. It's refreshing to hear the power of acoustic music and the many worlds of sound still waiting to be explored. -- BOB BOILEN

Came for the hats, stayed for the music
lynn pehrson perfect observation. Agreed!
some how i can see the b-52's doing a combo
Came for the hats, left from the music.
I didn't even realize that's what happened to me until I read your comment.
Same
Confused. Alarmed. Aroused. Joyous. Fascinated. The 5 steps of the DakhaBrahka experience.
there is an unconscious step 6, Edward Bernays supplies it, you will feel it when you watch news about the Russian aggression against Ukraine, be it true or not.
Ok. I'll stay too, especially if there's a chance of musical arousal....
To me it was just first contact love, and love to the end. Cheers from Greece!
Hahahaha. Love it.
@@MrShbbz true it is
Will never forget being in the room for this - a special memory and an incredible intro to Ukrainian culture. Hope they are safe and sending love to Ukraine!
God I hope they are ok right now
You're kidding me?!? U got to see their Tiny Desk LIVE?!? THAT sounds like more than a special memory... Its like u can hear the pain & pride of their ancestors in their voices... like a battle cry.
Moves me to relax and evaluate my life every listen. I've watched lots of their performances on YT, and Tiny Desk has that wonderful intimate feel, I had no idea there was even room for an audience in there! ;)
Sending love to dakhabrakha and their people of Ukraine. Thanks for sharing your unique music w the rest of the world
❤🧡💛💚💙💙💜✌🌍
@@_Amor_Fati very special indeed. it was part of a composers residency at the Kennedy Center I did in 2015 called Betty Carter Jazz Ahead. Great program that changed my life. Towards the end they took us on a tour of NPR Music. and to our surprise we walked right into a tiny desk concert, which happened to be this one! let's just say the room is much bigger than it looks haha
@@MikeCaseyMusic unreal. What an incredible life you opened yourself up to. Congrats!
I went down a memory rabbit hole and went searching for this..I forgot they were from Ukraine! Prayers
Dear Marco, Irina, Elena and Nina, we hope very much you are well in these troubled times. We wish you all the best.
What the--? It's rock, it's New Age, it's Tibetan drone, it's African call and response, it's Slavic folk, it's so old and so new and it makes me want to headbang and hippie groove and do the cossack dance at the same time! I am joyful right now because of this joyful, utterly unique music!!!
That's how I should have expressed my thoughts about this.
You did it so much more meaningfully than me.
its like western europe got hit with a music bomb from the B52s
why not slap another label on this you poor excuse for a music critic...it's not rock...it's ethnic...and ethnic music can't be progressive because if you do, it ceases to be ethnic.
@@nasticanasta Chill man... It's not like everybody has that deeper understanding of music genres like you, the enlightened one, has. Don't be so full of yourself and let other people experience music in their own due time.
@@ahnenthor Well the way it was said maybe was bit off, but it's true, the vast majority of what they do is Ukrainian folk. They have a few songs that have modern influences, but those are obvious. It doesn't have to be Tibetan just because it has drone tones, a ton of folkmusic has drone tones, it also doesn't have to be African just because it has call and response, also quite common in folkmusic.
How can a person NOT get into this band?? Holy Christ have they just created their own genre? This is some of the most incredible music I've ever experienced. I am now one of your greatest American fans!!!
It comes from Ukrainian folk
European Urban Folk.
@@heidihemore7812 *Eastern European
@@lanagukina3338 Yes, of course Eastern
Це Україна, музика волі, так співає вільна душа. Слава нації.
Magic is real and alive in Ukraine - this is some of the best musical expressions of that magic. Victory, Peace, and Glory to Ukraine!
Sending prayers to Ukraine, heartbreaking news,.
Thank you Martin! They are appreciated!
Nazis at Government and sorry to say not only at the Goverment.
...bur the music is nice.
If this group isn't cast as the band in the next Star Wars dive bar, then somebody isn't paying attention. Got to love me some DakhaBrakha!!
I got cantina band vibes too
🤣😂... So PICTURED it... ❤❤❤❤❤❤....
Best comment ever
Yesss!!!
The moment when you listen to a song for the first time and you want to marry the whole band.
Funnysterste Haha I had a similar thought, which was “I want to be this band!” ☺️❤️👌🏼
YEAH
Well, it's a good thing they wore their wedding dresses.
hahahaha...lol, super comment :)
Including that dude!🙏🏼
I hope these beautiful Ukrainians and their families and friends are safe 🖤🖤🖤 - big love from USA
Came to say the same thing
They're not. See New York Times.
@@lesclampinsdabord359 actually they are fine for now, according to them, not NY Times.
They are currently touring the US
Unfortunatunately they're not safe. As long your US brain has no president, excuse me, as long as long has no... fugde it! I'm old .
(Who's in charge of my prompter? Xe's fired!)
They are so insanely good that they have nothing left to prove, so they can afford to do something really wild, and unique. Three brides in Cossack hats! And they have so much fun it's infectious!
Loved it. I am a slav to the rhythm.
Nice!!!!
Fuck this just got me good. One thumbs up for you good sir
Booh...
Not really a pun as the word 'slave' comes from the world 'slavic' originally.
joo juniper That’s just one offbeat theory...
I've seen them live in a festival in Devon, England. Nobody knew what the music would be like. As the performance ended and the audience 'recovered' from the fantastic experience, everyone were running to the CD shop to buy their album. Stunning gig.
I'm in Devon, wish I had known about them back then!!!
It is what you can call Slavic soul. I see a lot of elements from Ukrainian folklore.
Where they at sidmouth folk festival
I wouldn't mind betting they were at Sidmouth
Just discovered DakhaBrakha last Friday and am currently obsessed. In light of the current war on Ukraine I searched for Ukrainian music and certainly wasn't disappointed. Ukraine is in my heart.
It's been said before but the engineering on these concerts is incredible. These guys have acoustic instruments and they're being mic'ed from across the desk but it sounds great on headphones.
It blows my mind every time
Legit sounds better than most studio releases
been said before, but still very much worth repeating. Sounds dope!
Three beautiful women in wedding dresses and a guy yelling. Couldn't get any better! Love the music.
11:47 Carol of the Bells (which is originally based on a Ukrainian folk song)
Just had first row seats at a dazzling concert by this fascinating group! Not only was their performance incredible, but, on the large screen behind them, the graphics were beautiful, the photos moving, and the film brought tears. If you have a chance , GO SEE AND SUPPORT THIS WONDERFUL GROUP!!
Saw this quartet a year and a half ago in Toronto. Audience ages from 12 to in their 80s. About the third song, I noticed that everyone in the audience was rocking out in a chair dance, to every song. One of the best concerts I've been to, ever.
Whoever is high in that studio is having the best trip of his life.
ever do shrooms? this is the last thing you would wanna hear tripping.
@@nasticanasta No, this would be awesome!
@@nasticanasta set and setting, if it were in a tent village in the middle of a grassy field around a campfire it could be enjoyable. In the middle of a cramped room in a chair surrounded by people I don't know, that's a different story lol
LOL
Whoever's high while listening to this video is having a pretty good trip...
I did NOT understand one word but TOTALLY love every bit of this performance.
See also: Dagadana
The members are from Ukraine and Poland, so lots of similarities. Well worth checking out if you enjoyed this.
Me neither.
But unlike you I'm ... Ukrainian native speaker. :LOL
I think they're singing about two lovers that meet in a Skoda factory & go hunting for Elk.
Music is universal. I don't understand half of Jenny and the Mexicats, and almost nothing of Eugene Hutz, but who cares if it grooves.
(just to make it clear, I'm agreeing with you, not suggesting you said that you care you don't understand the lyrics)
As ukrainian I assure you that most of their lyrics have no sense.
God I sure hope they are safe and ok right now during these dark times in Ukraine. Strength be with you wherever you are!
Sometimes I get so sad that I’ll never be able to experience ALL of the music
I live in Ukraine now and got to see them on concert. It was incredible!
WOW!!!!! NICE!!
Hope you are safe 🙏
Extraordinary discovery : never heard such original music. Many thanks to Tiny desk and its team.
@@AFNacapella I saw that performance last night. I went BINGO!!
@@AFNacapella thanks for the recommendation, I'll look that up !
The first song is actually a Ukrainian cover of “Friday” by Rebecca Black
Praying and thinking about all the Ukranian souls right now who are facing war.
Music connects, music heals! The world is with YOU.
🙏🏽❤️🌌
Came here to say the same thing, I really hope they are somewhere safe with their families.
Seen them live twice!! Mindblowing!!! Best live concert ever! Powerful, enthralling, fascinating, humurous, addictive, energizing,, one of my favorite bands ever! See them live if you can!!!
I’m seeing them tomorrow at NC State. Waited 5 years for this!! So stoked!!
This isn't music, this is an experience. So much art here. Thank you!!!
😂 I just hear Polish music
"Hey, this rhythm is kinda mellow and enchanting.." *SUDDEN YELLING*
(Love it tho)
This video never gets old.
O.M.G. - my new favorite group! They remind me of a cross between the wildness of Ukranian Eugene Hutz's Gogol Bordello and the famed vocal harmonies of the Bulgarian Women's Choir with a bit of West African beat thrown in. Simply amazing!
This whole thing was fire and I'm only disappointed that I am only now discovering it.
This is awesome on so many levels. Easily one of the best Tiny Desk Jams ever.
Agree! It gives me such loving appreciation for Tiny Desk, THIS is the video that I pull up to show to others what tinydesk is, and why it's so great! ❤✌🌍
Bringing artists of all styles together without fighting for the front row at a concert.
Not to mention their audio quality is top notch! I hope to someday be there in person.
This song started it all. I'm so in love with this band. They've changed my life❤️💯☮️🇺🇦
How?
Which one?
yah that song changed my life too
Sending love and strength to all of Ukraine, stay strong
🇬🇧 ❤ 🇺🇦
Music is the universal language. No clue what they are saying, but I'm in love!
The perpetual smile on the cellist's face makes her very beautiful.
+christinertheweiner they're all so talented!
atownlefttrain ,haha love the honesty and straight forwardness of that
Gotta make sure that all music makers are recognized for the hot pieces of tail that they are, male and female alike!
I love your Zardoz avatar, btw
How dare you comment on her physical appearance positively good sir? I believe we are all equally appalled by your boorish behavior. Tsk-tsk.
That beautiful smile on the right one though, I can't stop watching her play/sing.
Whatever dimension this is it’s a good one.
It's artists like this that makes me love music.
Thank you allmighty TH-cam algorithm for making my day...
Sending love and prayers for peace to Ukraine and all who are struggling to survive.
Why this is not more popular I've no idea. Tiny Desk should be a Radio Station in every town world wide! Where I live, it's all 40, 50 year old rock or country that you've heard to death. This is soooo refreshing!
I'm due to give birth any minute, I'm going to request this in my delivery room lol
how did it go lovely?
@@reuse_or_die I am sure you really do care.. swimp
I am sure the baby will come out super musical!!! 😊💜
@@Stinktierchenis that some sort of insult? why? who hurt you?
@@reuse_or_die Why would you call a total stranger woman to you... lovely? So... several peoppe have hurt me and I have hurt people... thats called life man... so whats your point? The question is.. who took your balls away?
I can imagine this music in What We Do in the Shadows.
That's so perfect 😂❤️
I would love that so much!!
Great Show
Yes, its Carpathian Arial
Don’t understand a single word, but I know great songs when I hear em!!!!!
They use their voices as another instrument and mix the vocal so well with the sound
One of the hottest jams I've listened to.
Right there with you, dj bbque
DJ BBQ bbzqtr ro
This is actually the Scissors Girls re-formed as a band, undercover.

Why does it remind me of the bangles
Just one week ago I saw DakhaBrakha perfomance here, in Toronto. They are the best ethno group ever! Being a Ukrainian myself I am not too shy to say that:) Talented, vibrant, colorful, UKRAINIAN!!:)
Found this last night, watched multiple vids, drank, danced and fell in love with this band. So very Cool😎
In a perfect world beauty and creative genius would annihilate destructive stupidity every time. Maybe it still will. You're wonderful, DakhaBrakha❤❤❤. Bless you!
Maybe the most original music I've heard...ever...Right away I knew these guys were awesome--so much talent--but why is the girl on the cello not a full-blown Rock Star?--She's way too cool...The voices and harmonies are sweet, and it does not matter at all that I don't understand their words--In fact maybe the language barrier contributes to the beauty for me.
Russ Kendrick Martin
Interesting! Not knowing the language actually makes one listen to and appreciate the melodies instead!
Makes it more cryptic and mystically beautiful. I dont get tied up with lyrics just sounds, beats and craaaazzzyyy melodies!
They explore all the rhythms of planet earth this shows again music has no boundaries
Strange hats, wedding dresses, bazar syncopated beat, culturally unique instruments, unfamiliar language, what's not too love!
one of the best Ukrainian music performers!!! Well done DakhaBrakha! Slava Ukraine!!!!
DakhaBrakha just played at Festival International in Lafayette, Louisiana and it was magic.
Ann Burruss thanks for your comment Ann, i have never heard of any international music festivals here in the southwest
Yes! It was so amazing! Magic is the perfect word to describe their performance.
They were all the buzz at this years Hardly Strictly BlueGrass, I went, I am STILL recovering from what I experienced.
I'm Ukranian, and parts of this brought me back to my babooshkas kitchen and growing up and then I was like, is that HIP HOP?
This is what music is all about. YLLYLYLYLYLLYLYLYLYLLYLYLYLLYLY
Oh wow, they were at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass? I just saw this video for the first time a couple months ago. I bet that was a great show!
HI. Saw you perform with my Mum in a free concert Downtown Los Angeles. We were right up front. Mum, when she was MUCH younger was part of a Ukrainian Dance Troupe. i have a couple photos. WE BOTH SO ENJOYED THE MUSIC AND THE POLITICS!!!!! bought one of your CDs. One of the best times Mum and I spent together. Riveting, Captivating, Mesmerizing, Beautiful
Came back again to listen today because I remembered they're from Kiev, Ukraine!
Sending Love to Ukraine! Thanks for a chilling performance. Chills start @2:00
❤🧡💛💚💙💜✌🌍
this group was just here in Taos, NM this past December…I went and saw them and the whole crowd feel madly in love with them…they were INCREDIBLE live.
This is ridiculously good.
Congratulations NPR Music for the work you're doing, bringing authentic, international music to people who are looking for true good music, done by people who play from their hearts and souls. This is what people are craving for nowadays, it's easy to understand that, just look at the number of views...2 Million so far. Thank you for that !!!
I hope to be able to see them live one day!
I have never seen Nina without a smile.
I love Dakhabrakha, and Dakh Daugthers.
My favourite cellist.
xxx.
In song YELENA she did it all time
they are the best! :)
Thank you for this.
I love this song.
And Nina has her Cello, and Bow!
Thank you, and be safe!
nina's smile literally makes my day better, she must be lovely person to be around
No matter how many times I watch this, it never loses it's magic. Beautiful performance
I agree!
I'm hooked I keep trying to get all my friends to watch their performance
Saw them perform at Bonnaroo 2014. They were incredible and the crowd was totally feeling them. A great time was had by all.
Hauntingly beautiful. Hope them and theirs are safe....
Gotta love the lady on the right who looks like she's having a blast playing this crazy music. I would love to see this group live.
11:45-12:50 gets me every time. "Carol of the bells' as you've never heard it before. This group is amazing. Just saw them in Odessa, Ukraine. Thank you so much for hosting talent like this from around the world!
I was waiting for someone to mark this sequence. They isolated it with harmonies genuinely. Nothing but respect for this group. Oh hey something I meant to ask when I commented first was, did you get a chance to see them play "Baby" live? That's on my bucket list but my goodness that's a goose bumper for the ages!
It is a Ukrainian folk song actually.
@@MrMaxlines Щедрик!
One of strangest and coolest things I've ever seen....
Wonderful music and even though this concert took place a few years back. It could be a homage to Ukraine to carry on listening to it now.
All my love to you Ukrainian people in these very difficult times.
It feels wrong, me dancing to this with clothes on.
Not the clothes😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree take it all off.
I'm sure the other folks in the shopping centre appreciate your restraint.
it's not because something is not american, it is primitive.
Hahaha
We truly lived in an amazing era. Saw the Cubs take the title and was fortunate enough to listen to this in my life. Thank you universe.
Universe-Bid "U" don't mess with that
Colo Riqueno : yeah but indians lost 😞
What a great concert. Came because I was curious, stayed because it was genuinely good music.
I saw them in Bratislava in December. They were thrilling!! THeir Music moves you tothe core!!❤🔥
Love this!! I mean.... absolutely FUCKING LOVE THIS!!!
It turns out they are Ukrainian? Wow! 😲 I like the Hats and the bird or animal noises they vocalize. They’re unique and amazing! And I don’t understand a word and it’s still interesting to listen to.
Wonderful!
👏🏻😎🪗🪘
Pray for Ukraine 🇺🇦 and their safety. 🙏🏻
believe me even Ukrainians struggle to understand the lyrics
Where ever they are from I feel like i am too. So good.
Ukrainian band
NPR always adding gold to my playlist ❤️🎶✨
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow.
Just wow.
There is an invisible barrier between certain kinds of music and people like me.
This kind of music, for example. People like me are the kind who love music but who feel a terrible embarrassment at the idea of being one of these musicians and - for want of a better expression - doing the shouting/wooping/screaching parts.
It is precisely this kind of music, however, that brings out of me the kind of feeling that makes people do those things in the song.
That unashamed expression of feeling/passion/happiness(or indeed sadness) which is so important a part of the music, but which would be terribly embarrassing for me to do... that's... what... 'power', 'freedom' or something like it.
Perhaps that's too deep a way to thinkg about it.
Anyway, thank you so very much for what I wil call the most enjoyable almost-random-click of the second half of 2019.
I got chills and teared up.
Thanks for that thoughtful comment that represents my thinking and feeling too. I found this music after a healing session which I was lead to experience more feelings in my heart..well if this is an indication of what happens when I do, I'm all ears and I'm excited!
From a 2021 perspective this music make SOOO much sense. And is to me sooooo welcome.
Love the music. Solidarity with the people of free Ukraine 🤜🇺🇦🤛
A few years ago DakhaBrakha played the Edmonton Folk Music Festival and was a big hit, I hope they return to the EFMF again in the future.
Saw this band with a boyfriend at my junior college in Northern California about 5 years ago. It was friggin amazing!!! So much more exciting than seeing a famous pop star.... and it was a free concert becasue I was a student 😁👍🏼
OhMyGod, the cello player is absolutely adorable! I've hear the advice to performers "look like you're having fun" and thought it was kind've dumb, but Jesus, she just draws your eyes with that grin!
I feel the life in every cell dancing to the Ukrainian music which comes from the roots & makes fly high above! Proud!
this BLOWS my MIND!!! its like I've discovered music again for the first time ....
I don't understand a single word and yet I love this so much.
Sometimes that's better! There are a bunch of songs where I'm down with the music, but the whole experience was destroyed by rock stupid lyrics. No danger of that when you don't know the language.
Si... hahaha pero la música es un lenguaje que el alma entiende solo hay que dejar que haga magia en nosotros
Ha, I'm from Ukraine, but I do not know what they sing either, the words are so vague that even they do not understand me as a native speaker.
I usually don't understand a single word when music is performed in English. LOL
But I adore this!
It wasn't about words in the beginning anyway. It was all about the sounds that rhyme and trance.
Every tenth time I listen ; I'll tell you I still love it*
~ here we go ; still loving you - many more than ten listens later . All the best to you . Adz.
That bass/cello is the coolest sound ever
At last I’m going to see them live in London tomorrow night (20 January 2022).
Postscript: it was possibly the best gig I have ever been to, which considering I have seen a great many world class acts (Led Zep, the Floyd, Yes, Genesis etc.) I am genuinely astounded by how good DB are live! ❤️
I didn't expect to see Ukrainian performers here! It's great to see your native language speakers in an international community like this. So I hope to see more of Ukranian singers here in the future:)
Sergey Lagutin Are these some kind of traditional songs?
WLOMA I think, they have mostly their own unique style. But the lyrics sounds very traditional and familiar to me.
WLOMA it's a mix of traditional songs and sounds adapted for musical storytelling
+Mike Bee TV their last song ended in a traditional ukrainian Christmas choral.
Sergey Lagutin dude maybe you can help me. what are they singing about?
i've literally listen to 3 seconds of this video, and i know i'm gonn listen to this music for the next months
I was right! 😃
I know this feeling. Started with a song and many months later I am listening to all their albums as often as I can. Their first album is available on Bandcamp for purchase. I can’t get enough.
Quite stunning musical. Forgive me, but this is simple, explosive and beautiful.
This Tiny concert just blew my mind! Amazing! Just wowed with this band
Much love to the Ukrainian people and may there be peace soon! This video came to my mind today. DakhaBrakha embodies freedom to me and what that megalomaniacal despot is doing breaks my heart.
You stole the words right outa my mouth!
Breaks my heart too!
Zelenskyy is a threat to peace, it sis shocking what he turned the area into.
One of my favorite Tiny Desk Concerts ever, what a gem... seriously high energy, high drama... Bob Boilen, you are a genius to give opportunity to such offbeat talent
+billder999 they're actually a fairly large band in Ukraine
+Riley Schwarcz This is exactly why I love Tiny Desk Concerts... how else would I ever hear a great band from Ukraine? I watch all the TDCs, every single one of the over 500 concerts... I really like about 10% of them enough to mark as favorites, and to listen again and again... that is 50+ bands I never would have heard of otherwise.
+billder999 She is also enjoying herself more than the others.
+billder999 great math, bro
We 3rd worlders tend to believe americans know Rihanisms and Adelisms only. But we´re wrong, aren´t we?
11:25 love that smile and that yeeaah. And how she makes the cello sound like a guitar at 12:29
Найкращі !! Любимо вас!
