DakhaBrakha & Port Mone - Khemleva Project (2012) EN


DakhaBrakha is surely widely known among Polish fans of alternative folk music, especially since their legendary concert during OFF Festival in 2014. But for me Ukrainian music is first of all them. DB is three ladies and one gentleman from Kiev, Port Mone, a vital part of "Khemleva Project" is three artists from Belarus playing instrumental mix of jazz and ambient with bass guitar and accordion. It appears that they are the perfect music partner for DB.

Perhaps that is why the album mesmerizes with the very first sounds. Rhythmical and looped backgrounds are a match for folk chanting by the Kovalenko, Garenetska, Tsybulska trio. Traditional instruments solo parts catch attention and, as they are supposed to, release the hypnotic spell while the way the songs are constructed are quite modern. A real folk music masterpiece, which is actually something more. Waiting for the next concert in Poland!

"Khemleva Project" was recorded in Toyastudios in Poland and it was mastered by Tomasz Sikora of Hermetic Garage label.
