When you introduce a group of curiously dressed punk-influenced folk musicians to a group of muddy moshers, it’s a match made in weirdo heaven. That’s what happened when the experimental Ukrainian band DakhaBrakha debuted at Bonnaroo in 2014, and since receiving a warm welcome at the festival, the ever-inventive group has been making a name for itself with its impressive physical presence and mesmerizing music. Comprised of professional folklorists, DakhaBrakha keeps to its traditional roots in terms of aesthetics, too: The three female singers wear long, flowing white dresses and tall, furry black hats, and founder and experimental theater director Vladyslav Troitskyi dons an intricate embroidered vest. Read more >>> DakhaBrakha performs at 8 p.m. at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, 600 I St. NW. $25.
