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. The band got famous after publishing video for the song Rozy/Donbass containing Shakespeare's Sonnet 35 and Ukrainian folk songs. Another popular Dakh Daughters clip is video of their live performance on Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Kyiv during the early Euromaidan protests in December 2013.
