Venue: Pioneer Works
Date:
Description: LPR Presents and Pioneer Works invite you to an evening of immersive metal and rock transcendence in the Pioneer Works Main Hall with a rare stateside appearance by doom metal titans YOB.
Celebrating 25 years of genre-defying sonic ritual, YOB bring their singular blend of meditative heaviness and cathartic release to Brooklyn for one night only, alongside the Virginia-formed doom metal band Windhand. Revered for their deeply communal live performances, YOB turns every set into a shared act of transformation.
About the Artist
"Slow is fast," says Mike Scheidt, guitarist and vocalist of Oregon doom metal trio YOB—a band whose immersive, slow-burning sound has evolved over 25 years into something truly transcendent. With bassist Aaron Rieseberg and drummer Dave French, YOB crafts massive, meditative compositions that explore the edges of human experience, blending pulverizing sludge with moments of luminous clarity.
Formed in the late ’90s, YOB emerged from the stoner doom lineage of Sleep and Black Sabbath, but quickly developed a signature style—pendulous riffs, skyward vocals, and deeply introspective lyrics influenced by Scheidt’s Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta spiritual practices. Their albums, from Elaborations of Carbon (2002) to Our Raw Heart (2018), reflect a steady deepening in both sound and self-inquiry.
After a hiatus in the mid-2000s, YOB returned with renewed intensity, building a devoted following through relentless touring and acclaimed records like Atma and Clearing the Path to Ascend (Rolling Stone’s 2014 Metal Album of the Year). Their live shows are legendary for their emotional weight and sonic gravity—spaces of collective release where, as Scheidt puts it, “the crowd and the band are not two things.”
YOB continues to evolve, with compositions that stretch across time and feeling, forged by a trio of musicians attuned to each other’s deepest intuitions. Their music doesn’t offer easy answers—but in its searching, it opens a space for presence, healing, and transformation. As Scheidt says, “Our music is medicine for us. If it’s that for anyone else, it’s an immense honor.”
This program takes place within artist Raúl de Nieves’s site-specific installation, In Light of Innocence. Learn more about the exhibition here.

Description: In the aftermath of the ‘Christmas bombing’ of Hanoi in December 1972, young Ngọc Hà (Lan Hương) searches through the city’s rubble for her missing family. Shot in neorealist style by Hải Ninh, a graduate of the first directing class of the Vietnam Cinema School, this classic wartime propaganda film was inspired by the filmmaker’s own experience sheltering with his daughter during the 12-day bombardment, and witnessing a little girl who was saved from the bombings and cared for by her neighbors—told remarkably through the rare use of a child’s voiceover.

Stride Breaker x Ballet: St. Mozelle & Venïson Man [Live] + Via App + Hank Jackson + 320
Venue: Public Records
Date:
Description: St. Mozelle‘s Stride Breaker debuts in New York. The event series holds a radio residency on LA’s dublab and is also a regular night at Berlin’s kwia, exploring non-ambient active listening, keeping listeners on their toes through quick-witted pivots, prose, and provocations. She performs her Red Rabbit EP live, produced in collaboration with Venïson Man. The EP has since been remixed and released on contemporary-leftfield label 3XL.
320, co-organizer of Brooklyn-based ambient/experimental showcase Ballet, opens the night, followed by Hank Jackson [anno records]. Fresh off a tripped-out chillout set at this year’s Sustain-Release, Jackson has been sharing his bizarro, forward-thinking textures for over a decade. Via App‘s DJ sets, live sets, and productions are playfully dissonant, opening new sonic spaces where warped energy is both infectious and invigorating. She is also part of Tongue In The Mind with Juliana Huxtable and Jealous Orgasm.

Description: Chahine made his name on the international festival circuit with this brooding noirish drama, in which the director himself gives a remarkable performance as a dull-witted newspaper vendor who returns home to a squalid shack papered with pinups after putting in his hours at the titular railroad hub, his smoldering infatuation with a sexy lemonade saleswoman (Hind Rostom) building slowly to an uncontrollable conflagration that will consume them both. A work without precedent, in both formal and thematic daring, in Egyptian popular cinema. With Cairo as Seen by Chahine, a city symphony film that doubles as a self-portrait of its maker, commissioned by French television and banned in Egypt for its warts-and-all depiction of the capital city.

Bringing together works by moving image artists Kevin Jerome Everson, Barbara Hammer, Margaret Tait, Sarah Friedland, Wen Hui, Simone Forti, and John Smith, the seven short films across this program present an assemblage of the everyday gestures and movements of older adults, refracted across a range of moving image forms from dance for camera to experimental essay film.” —Sarah Friedland

Description: “The first feature from Vietnam Feature Film Studio follows lovers Hoài, a guerilla fighter from the North, and Vận, a young woman from the South, during the war against the French. Their romance becomes a casualty of partition when the country is divided at the Bến Hải River. Co-directed by Nguyễn Hồng Nghi—a pioneering documentarian who worked closely with Hồ Chí Minh, who gifted him North Vietnam’s only film camera in the early 1950s—this landmark work demonstrates how Vietnamese cinema has, from its very origins, channeled national struggles through the lens of romantic relationships.” —Minh Nguyen

Hanoi Through Whose Eyes?
Venue: Metrograph
Date:
Description: “Commissioned to create a tourism film celebrating Hanoi’s attractions, Trần Văn Thuỷ instead made Hanoi Through Whose Eyes?, a melancholic meditation on the capital, considering official narratives of ancient elegance alongside the reality of long welfare lines and neglected monuments. Trần’s essayistic visual time capsule comprises prominent intellectuals, artists, and musicians, including the blind musician Văn Vương and painter Bùi Xuân Phái. Initially censored, the film was later rehabilitated, earning critical acclaim and the state’s Golden Lotus prize. This program opens with The Fox Deserved It and The Talking Bird, two shorts from the Vietnam Animation Film Studio, where animators trained by distinguished artists created allegorical tales about anti-colonial struggle for children.” —Minh Nguyen

Venue: Metrograph

Description: Born out of a commitment to the idea that it’s never too early to introduce kids to the pleasures of movies made outside of the commercial mainstream—and the suspicion that young audiences are often more open-minded and curious than their elders when it comes to such matters—Metrograph presents the latest iteration of Art Cinema for Tots, a celebration of handcrafted, kid-friendly films that reconcile the smart and the silly. In this edition, join us up, up, up in the air, with a suite of enchanting, high-flying shorts, led off by Albert Lamorisse’s much-homaged children’s classic The Red Balloon, about a sentient balloon that trails a young boy through the streets of 1950s Paris.
_The Red Balloon_(Albert Lamorisse, 1965, 34 min, 35mm)
_Free admission with online RSVP for children under 8 years old. Each child must be accompanied by at least one adult with a purchased ticket. Please add one 'free' ticket per child during the checkout._

Description: The first film in Chahine’s epochal autobiographical tetralogy, a dramatic departure from the musicals and melodramas that he’s made his name with, introduces the director’s alter ego, Yehia (Mohsen Mohieddin), as a movie-mad teenage schoolboy with aspirations of growing up to be an actor in a World War II-era Alexandria where British and Egyptian troops are bracing themselves to stave off the advancing Germans. Deftly weaving together personal and national history, Chahine produces a teeming tapestry of a film; figures found herein include blundering would-be guerrillas, the brother of a Pasha who falls in love with the Englishman he’s marked for execution, a Muslim communist facing exile with his Jewish lover, and his lover’s father, who leaves Alexandria behind for the relative peace of Palestine.

Description: Analogous to Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz in that it hinges on a near-death experience serving as an opportunity for taking stock of one’s life, the second film in Chahine’s autobiographical Alexandria Tetralogy opens with the director’s alter ego, Yehia—now played by Chahine himself—on the operating table before open-heart surgery in London (where Chahine had undergone the same procedure in 1973), imagining himself called upon to justify his life to date before a tribunal that takes place inside his own chest cavity. The survey of Yehia’s personal history—including a controversy-courting dalliance with a male chauffeur in the UK—offer sidelong glimpses of an all-but-disappeared cosmopolitan Alexandria of yesteryear, with Chahine’s profound affection for his vanishing hometown making this a deeply moving memory piece.

Description: _Four Dilations_ presents four artistic positions that counter the dominant ways in which time is kept today. The exhibition’s title references temporal dilation, a physical phenomenon that describes how time can pass at different rates for observers with distinct frames of reference. Sculpture and installation developed from time-based practices including dance, film, and sound composition probe the spatial and material fabric of the exhibition space. _Four Dilations_ convenes an international group of artists who came of age under the new regime of digital time management: Oslo-based Nikhil Vettukattil (b. 1990, Bengaluru), Berlin-based Richard Sides (b. 1985, Rotherham), New York-based Nandi Loaf (b. 1991, New York) and New York-based duo Michèle Graf and Selina Grüter (b. 1987, Wetzikon; b. 1991, Zurich). Reconsidering the concept of “now” under technocratic systems that govern life in the twenty-first century, their works use techniques of distortion, recursion, and elongation.

Description: Hanoi journalist Vũ travels to the border town of Lạng Sơn to report on the aftermath of the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese conflict. It is his ex-girlfriend’s hometown, and returning there forces him to confront memories of abandoning her to maintain his reputation and advance his career. This hallucinatory, psychological work entwining personal and political betrayal and grief was director Đặng Nhật Minh’s breakout film. Heartbroken by his own visit to the devastated town, Đặng wrote this story before being encouraged to adapt it for the screen. Shooting amid the actual ruins—which he described as looking ‘like a giant film studio that you didn't have to stage’—the director deepens this private reckoning by appearing on-screen himself.

When the Tenth Month Comes
Venue: Metrograph
Date: -
Description: “Đặng’s 1984 masterpiece broke new ground as the first Vietnamese film to screen in the US, and as an early challenger to official war memories. The moving portrait of grief centers on Duyên (Lê Vân), whose husband dies in Vietnam’s post-reunification war with Cambodia. Concealing his death from loved ones, she enlists a schoolteacher to forge letters from him, maintaining the deception at the cost of her own profound anguish. Through impressionistic countryside landscapes and seamless transitions between realms of the living and dead, Đặng built from socialist realist foundations a distinctly lyrical cinematic style.” —Minh Nguyen

Description: Working from a 1929 novel by the Russian fantasist Aleksandr Grin, Herz crafted this Gothic drama about two sisters, Klára and Viktoria—both played by Iva Janžurová, in an amazing double-role performance—put at loggerheads when the sweet, vapid Klára receives both the better part of their father’s sprawling estate and the love of the man that Viktoria adores, leading the snubbed sibling to venomous thoughts of murder. A fairy tale psychodrama frequently shot from the POV of the titular cat, gradually raised to hallucinatory, fever dream heights by Luboš Fišer’s score, it’s a decadent delectation that’s been likened to live-action Aubrey Beardsley.

Description: Wynn Thomas’s production design makes palpable the air of desperation in the Depression-era United States, where New Jersey boxer James J. Braddock (Russell Crowe, exuding gentle decency in the role of the former light heavyweight champ) inspires a nation with his hardscrabble rise from the depths of poverty to a shot at a title belt. A willful throwback to old-fashioned, red-blooded, meat-and-potatoes Hollywood melodrama, anchored by exceptional performances from Crowe; from Renée Zellweger, as Braddock’s squeamish but devoted wife; and from Paul Giamatti as Braddock’s friend and manager, Joe Gould.
“Cinderella Man is the story of James Braddock, a boxer, and his family. It takes place during the height of the Depression. It’s a very dramatic and emotional story. I decided to design the emotion in the story, not the reality. I wanted to take the viewer on an emotional journey, not a realistic one.” —Wynn Thomas

RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON
Venue: Metrograph
Date:
Description: The favorite younger son of a rural farming family, Ali (Ahmed Mehrez), a onetime idealist now embittered by his failures, returns from a 12-year stay in Cairo to a jubilant reception, but when his family—father Mahmoud el-Meliguy, mother Huda Sultan, elder brother Shoukry Sarhan, and nephew Hesham Selim—realize that his experience in the city has been anything but a smashing success, the reunion soon turns sour. A musical melodrama unfolding amidst the wreckage of shattered dreams, Chahine’s film, released a few years after the death of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, has frequently been interpreted as an allegory for the disillusionment felt in the unfulfilled promises of post-revolutionary Egypt, with songs by co-screenwriter (and renowned poet) Salah Jahin.

Description: Inspired by a 1962 trading card series from Topps that fired a young Burton’s morbid imagination, this blackly funny special effects–heavy comedy—its stacked cast including, among others, Jack Nicholson, Martin Short, Pam Grier, Sylvia Sidney, Jerzy Skolimowski, Pierce Brosnan, and, yes, Tom Jones—bears gleeful witness to the carnage that follows a Martian landing, a massacre that only Slim Whitman’s “Indian Love Call” can bring to abatement. A festival of inspired, antic destruction, with production designer Wynn Thomas evidently having a blast playing up the excesses of mid-century Jet Age chic design and, at one point, paying homage to the famous War Room set of Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove.
“Mars Attacks! was based on a series of graphic comics from the 1950-60s. The challenge in designing the film was finding an approach that could pull all of the visual elements together so that there would be some consistency in the look of the film.” —Wynn Thomas

Hania Rani presents Chilling Bambino, Piotr Kurek
Venue: Pioneer Works
Date:
Description: For Unsound New York 2025, Hania Rani presents Chilling Bambino, her ever-evolving project, with opening support from Polish guitarist Piotr Kurek. The two Polish artists come together in the Main Hall for the opening performance of Unsound.
London-based pianist, composer, and singer Hania Rani was born and raised in Poland, where she went through classical training in Warsaw before relocating to Berlin. And it was there, at the heart of Europe's club scene, that she fell in love with electronic music, eventually figuring out a way to integrate her ornate solo piano compositions with delicate synthesized elements. With her Chilling Bambino alter-ego, Rani explores electronic sounds even more rigorously, focusing on her beloved Prophet synthesizer and augmenting her fluttering melodies with psychedelic rhythms.
The evening will begin with a performance from composer and multi-instrumentalist Piotr Kurek, presenting new music related to his Unsound-released album Songs & Bodies—best described as hypnagogic post-rock, an impressionistic blur of dissociated riffs, jazzy rhythms, and half-heard voices that casts a beguiling digital silhouette of '90s indie music. It’s the closest he’s come to old-fashioned songwriting, but the music is full of blemishes, wrinkles, and personal touches that position them very much in the present. Piotr will appear on stage with local musicians Justin Frye on bass and Greg Fox on drums.

Mixing analog and digital producing methods to create shimmering soundscapes over vocal incantations, colliding natural and unnatural sounds for an otherworldly experience.
With a voice lauded by NPR Music as “gorgeous, ethereal, [and] haunting,” Brooklyn songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Cassandra Croft writes songs to disarm. Raised in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest and now based in New York City, she draws from imagery of the natural world and meditations on time, memory, love, and loss. As a performer, Croft places her voice at the forefront of ephemeral arrangements for piano and guitar—methodical, crystalline structures with emotional gravity. Since debuting with solo material in 2024, she has recorded with contemporaries including Randall Dunn, Ben Greenberg, Rachika Nayar, Nina Keith, and Julianna Barwick, with releases on Domino/Smuggler’s Way, Red Hot Org, and Nettwerk—earning critical acclaim from NPR’s “All Songs Considered” and Pitchfork. Drawing on traditions from folk, dream pop, neoclassical, and ambient electronic, Croft’s songcraft positions euphoria as softly restrained, and beauty as the line where melancholy meets with life-affirming hope.
PFR Records is an artist-run label based in Brooklyn and SF. The label’s releases span from minimal house and techno to psychedelic, shoegaze, and ambient. For this listening session, they’ll be bringing an all-vinyl selection of downtempo, ambient, and minimal electronica from the ’90s and beyond. Expect slow-building frequencies, dubbed-out rhythms, and expansive, synth-driven atmospheres for close listening.

Dream Crease is Los Angeles-based solo artist Marina Aguerre [Teal Pop, Spaceface, Dumbo Gets Mad] seeking to mesh the world of fantasy with her eclectic sonic muses. Mixing analog and digital producing methods to create shimmering soundscapes over vocal incantations, colliding natural and unnatural sounds for an otherworldly experience.
With a voice lauded by NPR Music as “gorgeous, ethereal, [and] haunting,” Brooklyn songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Cassandra Croft writes songs to disarm. Raised in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest and now based in New York City, she draws from imagery of the natural world and meditations on time, memory, love, and loss. As a performer, Croft places her voice at the forefront of ephemeral arrangements for piano and guitar—methodical, crystalline structures with emotional gravity. Since debuting with solo material in 2024, she has recorded with contemporaries including Randall Dunn, Ben Greenberg, Rachika Nayar, Nina Keith, and Julianna Barwick, with releases on Domino/Smuggler’s Way, Red Hot Org, and Nettwerk—earning critical acclaim from NPR’s “All Songs Considered” and Pitchfork. Drawing on traditions from folk, dream pop, neoclassical, and ambient electronic, Croft’s songcraft positions euphoria as softly restrained, and beauty as the line where melancholy meets with life-affirming hope.
PFR Records is an artist-run label based in Brooklyn and SF. The label’s releases span from minimal house and techno to psychedelic, shoegaze, and ambient. For this listening session, they’ll be bringing an all-vinyl selection of downtempo, ambient, and minimal electronica from the ’90s and beyond. Expect slow-building frequencies, dubbed-out rhythms, and expansive, synth-driven atmospheres for close listening.

Description: Journalist Vân fights corruption while caught in a love triangle between her husband Đông, who runs a shady enterprise, and Phương, a Ministry inspector and her former high school crush. Director Trần Phương—who studied in the inaugural class of the People’s School of the Performing Arts and acted in revolutionary films before turning to directing—uses their tangled relationships to capture 1980s Hanoi caught between certainties. Existential and impressionistic, the film presents idealistic love as the last hope against greed and disillusionment in a rapidly modernizing Vietnam.” —Minh Nguyen

Description: Mai, a young art student, is cast in a film about the War against the Americans. During production, she falls in love with the director, a former soldier. As Mai becomes infatuated with his ‘romantic past’ without truly understanding it, their relationship embodies post–Đổi-Mới Vietnam’s identity shift. Known for his candor and eccentricity, director Lưu Trọng Ninh often focuses on how today’s youth—guided by spirit, vitality, and intuition—challenge their predecessors’ values.

Description: Việt Linh’s 1988 classic tells the bittersweet story of a small traveling circus from Hanoi who arrive at an ethnic minority village in Vietnam’s central highlands. Through the impressionable eyes of a child, the film shows the stark contrast between reality and illusion as the villagers hope that the performers’ magic, particularly a trick making rice appear, might solve their starvation. Known for surprising audiences with bold stylistic choices, Việt Linh shot in black and white when color had become the norm, infusing the film with touches of magical realism.

Description: Presented by Public Records in collaboration with Pioneer Works, Durations is a festival exploring the limits of sound across electronic, experimental performances and philosophical presentations. Pioneer Works joins 2025’s festival, presenting two leaders in the experimental world: Andy Stott and Carrier (live).
Andy Stott’s works, from the haunted “Luxury Problems” to 2021’s bruised, yet beautiful “Never the Right Time", fuse eerie textures, brutal rhythms, and ghostly vocals. Opening, Carrier is a boundary-pushing artist known for his evolution across drum & bass, techno, and experimental music.
Tickets on sale now. For more information and festival passes visit durations.world.
About the artists
Andy Stott is a Manchester producer who’s carved out a dark, raw lane between techno, post-punk, and dream pop. Early dub techno gave way to 2011’s Passed Me By and We Stay Together—grinding, broken-down epics dubbed "knackered house." His albums, from the haunted Luxury Problems to 2021’s bruised yet beautiful Never the Right Time, fuse eerie textures, brutal rhythms, and Alison Skidmore’s ghostly vocals. A key figure on Modern Love, Stott also works under aliases like Andrea and in brutalist projects like Millie & Andrea. His sound is murky, visceral, and completely his own.
Carrier is the latest project from Guy Brewer, a boundary-pushing artist known for his evolution across drum & bass, techno, and experimental music. Rising to fame in the '90s, he later launched the influential Shifted project and Avian label. With Carrier, Brewer departs from genre constraints, blending decades of sonic exploration into a unified, eclectic sound that reflects his journey and artistic reinvention.
About the festival
Durations is a weekend-long, multi-instrumental exploration of sound, asking how music connects body, mind, memory, and imagination across time. Presented by Public Records in collaboration with Pioneer Works, the festival brings together a diasporic lineup of electronic and experimental artists and guest speakers for a series of live and club performances and presentations that push boundaries in music, philosophy, and design theory. The 2025 lineup includes a performance from Andy Stott onsite in PW's Main Hall, and features artists Actress, Call Super, Lyra Pramuk, MARRØN, Suso Sáiz, Tornado Wallace, and Vlada.

The American Analog Set perform “Magic Hour” (2 Nights)
Venue: Pioneer Works
Date:
Description: Pioneer Works is proud to present the American Analog Set for the Brooklyn debut of Magic Hour, a special seated performance in our Main Hall. An intimate, immersive live show, Magic Hour features thoughtfully selected songs from the band’s first six albums: The Fun Of Watching Fireworks, From Our Living Room To Yours, The Golden Band, Know By Heart, Promise Of Love, and Set Free. It’s also the band’s first proper show in nearly 20 years.
First conceived in their hometown of Austin, Magic Hour features original members Andrew Kenny (guitar, vocals), Jesse Lee (bass), Tom Hoff (keys, guitar), Sean Ripple (vibes, vocals), and special guest Matthew Frank (drums, percussion). The show is presented in a fully seated, theatrical environment enhanced by immersive lighting and set design by Lisa Laratta (Paper Chairs). More than a carefully staged retrospective of the American Analog Set’s early discography, it’s something quieter, more intimate: a sonic memory book of the slowcore, post-rock, and lo-fi lullabies that defined a cult corner of American indie music from the late ’90s through the mid-2000s.
About the Artist
Formed in Austin in the mid-90s, the American Analog Set quietly became cult legends of American indie music with their distinctive blend of analog warmth, ambient textures, and minimalist pop restraint. Over six albums between 1996 and 2005, the band developed a sound that drew from German kosmische, ‘90s slowcore, and home-recorded psychedelia—always intimate, often hypnotic, and never in a rush.
Formed in Brooklyn in 2009 by three Texas ex-pats (Lance Scott Walker, Birdlikebats, and Nicholas Phelps), Bull Thieves released one self-titled album before going underground in 2011, after which Walker pivoted to work on his books about Houston hip-hop (Houston Rap Tapes, DJ Screw: A Life In Slow Revolution) and the other band members relocated. In 2024, Walker fully rebooted the band in New York with his best friend, the artist Joan LeMay (Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors From the Songs of Steely Dan) playing bass, and after a few shows as a duo they were joined by drummer Liana Katz (Brooklyn Cyclones Surf Squad) at the center of a larger collective that includes collaborations with the original Bull Thieves as well as Houston producers JGtheengineer and Stenographer. The core trio of Walker, LeMay, and Katz plays a noisy grade of indie rock that descends from Texas punk threaded with shoegaze and the rap/jazz/funk/R&B back catalogues that have informed their other artistic pursuits. Bull Thieves released the 7-inch "Pasture Kills" b/w "Wild Own" in May 2025, with an album, Rattlesnake & Swan, to follow.
This program takes place within artist Raúl de Nieves’s site-specific installation, In Light of Innocence. Learn more about the exhibition here.

Venue: Public Records
Date:
Description: Simone de Kunovich‘s avant-garde electronics draw from well-researched forays in cinema and fashion. The Italian producer has spent years developing his mysterious sound, which leans toward organic house percussive-driven techno, and ’80s nostalgia. Baba Stiltz’s spaced-out selections are reflective, somewhat melancholy, and range from disco-influenced burners to downtempo electropop with sojourns into beat-making. Ella Hussle has a West Coast energy and commercial-level tastemaking that harmoniously combines with Mo Yasin‘s finely-tuned, sound-system-driven selections. Stay Out West is Donny Burlin and Analog Soul’s Kat Smith. The downtempo duo are skillfully reviving chillout rooms and other outward-bound dance floors.

Description: In partnership with World Music Institute, Pioneer Works is proud to present the renowned Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha in the Main Hall on March 1, 2026. Rooted in traditional polyphonic folk and layered with global influences, DakhaBrakha's spellbinding sound has captivated audiences around the world.
DakhaBrakha is a music quartet comprised by musicians Marko Halanevych, Iryna Kovalenko, Olena Tsybulska, and Nina Garenetska from Kyiv, Ukraine. Their self-proclaimed “ethno chaos” sound spans years of performances prior to Russia’s 2022 invasion, but war is in everything now. They masterfully blend Ukrainian traditional music with influences from around the world, resulting in an unexpected new sound.
They are troubadours, activists and educators. Though their name means Give/Take in the old language, DakhaBrakha is new Ukraine, both pre-colonial and post-Soviet, working within a global network of art and music. They aim to help audiences see Ukraine not as a monolith, but as a cosmopolitan culture that takes in other cultures, and gives in return.
