DakhaBrakha just played at SF Jazz as a fundraiser for Ukraine. It sold out almost immediately, so they added a second show. They're coming back to Kuumbwa in Santa Cruz in October. But this was a last minute add to their current tour. I've never been to the Sunset Center in Carmel, so I got a couple of friends to go.
They required proof of vax or negative test and required masks to enter. Perhaps due to the high population of octogenarians in the area, but Thank you!
Neat venue. High peaked roof like a church, but it's all fairly modern construction.
This time around, it was a multi-media show. Colorful animations across the back of the stage to accompany the music. Lots of "this one is dedicated to the fallen", "this one is for the people who are giving support to the refugees". One of the multimedia presentations was drone footage of the destruction from the war. The music was really haunting...very gripping. It wasn't all dark. Most of the material was written/recorded pre-pandemic. But everybody was there in solidarity and you could tell the performers were moved.
Great show. Nice way to spend a Monday night.
