DakhaBrakha

• Nina Garenetska: vox, cello, ♣ bass drum;
• Marko Halanevych: vox, throat-singing, μ mouth trumpet, @ accordion, κ cajon, σ concertina, δ darbuka, η harmonica, † jaw-harp, τ tambourine;
• Iryna Kovalenko: vox, α accordion, ß bass drum, β buben (frame drum), Δ djembe, π piano, percussion, υ ukulele, ζ zgaleyka;
• Olena Tsibulska: vox, drums, percussion.

It was interesting to me to note that DakhaBrakha seems to have evolved quite a bit since I first saw them in the spring of 2015. Good for them!

So how was tonight's show different? I thought they exhibited a far greater range of abilities, singing and composition styles in tonight's performance. While I might not have been completely rapt, I thought the overall presentation was really compelling, and I look forward to hearing them again in a few more years.

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
