WOMAD Taranaki 2016

Five programmes of live performances from artists recorded at the Festival held in New Plymouth last March

(2) DakhaBrakha

One of the 'discoveries' of WOMAD 2016 was the Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha (which means 'give and take'). The band describe their music as 'ethno-chaos' which gives the audience a clue as to what to expect (recorded at Bowl of Brooklands, Pukekura Park, New Plymouth by RNZ)
