On March 14, Kyiv’s finest ethno-chaos quartet DakhaBrakha gave a special live fundraising performance at the Miner Auditorium in San Francisco. Now, as an expression of solidarity with the people of Ukraine, SFJAZZ have made the live broadcast of that evening’s poignant concert free to view until March 24. Viewers are invited to donate to the DakhaBrakha Fund, where all proceeds will be allocated, via the band themselves, to organisations aiding civilians in their embattled homeland.
DakhaBrakha will continue to wage their campaign of polyphonic defiance and dynamic folk demonstrativeness when they embark on a series of UK dates in April, before heading out on a full European tour.
