This image shows the music quartet DakhaBrakha, identifiable by their distinctive stage attire. Three women and one man stand side by side. The women are dressed in red and white garments with intricate patterns, accented with black scarves and unique, tall black fur hats. Their serious expressions and direct gazes give them a commanding presence. The man, also in black, sports a similar fur hat but in a lighter color, with a full beard and a contemplative expression. The group's traditional yet stylized outfits reflect their musical fusion of Ukrainian folk with global rhythms.
