Montreal-based Dumai Dunai has an eclectic sound. Formed in 2021, they bring the deep grooves of dub and the energy of punk rock to ancient Slavic singing styles and the euphoric fury of Balkan wedding brass bands. This band is on a mission, and the mission is to make you dance.
Lead singers Natalia Telentso and Eli Camilo sing and write lyrics in several languages, including Ukrainian, English, Serbian, French, and the diverse band has members originally from Ukraine, Bulgaria, Canada, and the USA.
Dumai Dunai has been honoured to share the stage with artists including the Barr Brothers, Socalled and Balaklava Blues, and have played festivals such as Pop Montreal, Ashkenaz Festival (Toronto), Mondo Karnaval (Quebec City), and Bloor West Village Toronto Ukrainian Festival.
