Dakh Daughters

Formed in late 2013, Kalendar aims to extend the ancient singing traditions of rural Ukraine to a contemporary cross-cultural urban practice. Taking time to study with great performers such as Marichka Marcyk and Dakha Brakha, the five singers of Kalendar embrace the stylistic details of “Ridnyj Holos” and perform around Canada. Whether it be an elaborate stage performance or a folkloric collaboration with Kosa Kolektiv, according to Ukie Daily, Kalendar’s performances are known to “transplant you deep into a rural Ukrainian village.”
