Hyphen Dash ft. Diana Dzhabbar

The big winners of the very first Ukrainian Jazz Prize are bringing an innovative stylistic mix to the Bimhuis. 'A Ukrainian fusion band made an album during the war,' headlines the American magazine Rolling Stone in a recent article about Hyphen Dash. But the quartet from Kyiv deserves more attention than just a news report. Their experimental mix of hip-hop, jazz, rock, and electronica sounds urgent and innovative, according to the jury of the first Ukrainian Jazz Prize, which was awarded last year and in which Hyphen Dash was crowned the Grand Prix. Now, the group is performing with Amsterdam-based Afro-Ukrainian saxophonist Diana Dzhabbar.
