SMF: DakhaBrakha: Dovzhenko's Earth

One of the most important films of the Soviet era, Earth (1930) is a passionate tribute to the Ukrainian countryside, to nature and to the process of collectivization, also depicting the hostility of Kulak landowners in Ukraine. Self-described as an “ethno-chaos” quartet, Kiev, Ukraine’s DakhaBrakha creates an almost otherworldly sound rooted in Ukrainian culture but incorporating Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian traditional instrumentation.
