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 Odessa etc.
