DakhaBrakha @ Kuumbwa Jazz Center, SC, 5/4 - thatguy - 05-06-2016

A friend sent me a link to this NPR Tiny Desk Concert a while ago:



I thought the music was interesting. A little like Bulgarian Women's Choir/Georgian folk singing, but I also liked the instrumentation. Layers of fairly simple parts. Wikipedia lists the genre as "Ethno-chaos"...

Right before I left for Europe, I saw they were coming to town a couple of days after our return, so I bought two tickets. My GF bailed, so I went with a friend. There was no opened. They came out and played for a little over an hour. Some of the material in the video above and some I hadn't heard before. They've dropped the wedding dresses for some that are a little more colorful, with wild patterns. The songs were often playful. They even did a hip-hop-ish song which was pretty funny. 

Great show. I'd recommend seeing them if you get a chance.

I heard them on NPR and really liked them.
