Dakh Daughters participants are members of different projects such as DakhaBrakha and Perkalaba. The band's name derives from the Dakh theater which is associated with the project.[2]

The band became famous after publishing on YouTube the music video "Rozy / Donbass", based on Shakespeare's Sonnet 35 and Ukrainian folk songs.[3][4][5][6] Also well-known is the video of their live performance on Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Kyiv during the early Euromaidan protests in December 2013.[7]

Dakh Daughters has performed in various Ukrainian cities, as well as outside of the country (in Poland, Czech Republic, France, Russia and Brazil). They have taken part in such events as Zakhid Festival, HoholFest, Silent films festival in Odesa etc.

The first band's studio album, IF, containing 9 tracks, was released in November 2016.[8] The second, AIR, came out in April 2019.[9]

Dakh Daughters was featured prominently in the 2019 Ukrainian musical comedy film Hutsulka Ksenya.[10]

"A travers leur musique et leurs chants, ce sont les notions d’héritage et d’identité qui se trouvent questionnées, convoquant tout autant des textes classiques – comme le 35e sonnet de Shakespeare – que des chants folkloriques ukrainiens. Ces poèmes ou récits chantés, scandés, rappés, interrogent toujours la lutte universelle et intemporelle de l’Homme pour la défense de sa liberté et de ses appartenances. Ainsi, les Dakh Daughters parviennent à élaborer une poésie de la colère au rythme des tambours de guerre, des sanglots des violons et de l’espérance forcenée de « l’Ukraine en feu »".[11]
