SUMMARY:DakhaBrakha
DESCRIPTION:DakhaBrakha is a quartet from Kyiv\, Ukraine that creates a world of unexpected new music. Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul\, DakhaBrakha was created in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art ‘DAKH’ by avant-garde theater director Vladyslav Troitskyi. The name means ‘give/take’ in the old Ukrainian language. After experimenting with Ukrainian folk music\, they began to incorporate the rhythms of global traditions into their music\, creating the unique and unforgettable sound of DakhaBrakha. Accompanied by Indian\, Arabic\, African\, and Ukrainian traditional instrumentation\, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates a distinctive global sound that is still rooted in Ukrainian culture. This is their first Savannah Music Festival appearance since 2017.  \n\n\n\n\n“The group mixes everything from punk-pop to traditional Ukrainian songs in cool yet beguiling textures\, often with the close harmonies usually associated with Balkan music. But it’s really the live shows that take DakhaBrakha beyond mere curiosity to utter brilliance.”  \n\n\n\n–NPR \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances at North Garden Assembly Room are made possible through support from the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.This performance is sponsored by Ships of the Sea Maritime MuseumThis performance is sponsored in part by Rose Architects

SUMMARY:Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino
DESCRIPTION:Formed by writer Rina Durante in 1975\, Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino (CGS) is regarded as Italy’s leading and longest-standing traditional music ensemble\, hailing from Salento in Puglia. Italy’s fascinating dichotomy of tradition and modernity comes together in the music of CGS. The seven-piece band and dancer are the leading exponents in a new wave of young performers reinventing Southern Italy’s pizzica music and dance traditions for today’s global audience. The tens of thousands who often congregate for this Lecce-based band’s concerts in Italy know that bandleader\, fiddler and drummer Mauro Durante and company can make an audience shimmy with the energy of the ancient ritual of pizzica tarantata\, said to cure the tarantula spider’s bite with its frenzied trance-like dances. CGS shows are full of energy\, passion\, rhythm and mystery\, bringing the audience from the past into modernity\, and back. This is their first time at Savannah Music Festival. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances in the Metal Building are made possible through support by Charles & Rosalie MorrisThis performance is sponsored by Visit Savannah and Rhegan White-Clemm & Timothy ClemmThis performance is sponsored in part by Sound View Wealth Advisors\, LLC | Kelly Bouchillon\, Emerson Ham\, Melissa Bouchillon\, Eddie AmbrosePartial support is provided by Jacqueline & Ken Sirlin
