Our hearts go out to our friends in Dakhabrakha, whose many shows at the Dakota have been indescribably wonderful – offbeat, creative, filled with brilliance. And we hope that they will be able to tour in the US in April as planned. For now, we just do not know.
In the meantime, we urge our patrons to do whatever they can to support the Ukrainian people in the midst of this horrific invasion by Russia.
As an expression of solidarity with the people of Ukraine, this Friday, March 4 at 7:30PM PT, SFJAZZ in San Francisco will broadcast a free DakhaBrakha concert filmed at the SFJAZZ Center on July 18, 2018.
For this free digital broadcast, SFJAZZ has created the “DakhaBrakha Fund” where viewers can contribute financially with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the band, to be reallocated to their families. The broadcast is free to anyone around the world and can be accessed from the SFJAZZ website or from the SFJAZZ app.

Thank you for any help you can give to spread the word and help our friends in the Ukraine!
