Lubomyra
Lubomyra (Cyrillic: Любомира) is the second full-length release, and first solo album by the Canadian-Ukrainian singer-songwriter Luba, then known under her full name Lubomyra. It was released around 1977 by SAGE Promotions and features eleven tracks, two of which ("Carpathia" and "Starry Eyes") were combined into one full-length song. All the songs are traditional or covers of popular Ukrainian songs, with a new arrangement, featuring elements of jazz, blues and rock. The song "Kazka" was composed by Luba herself. The album is currently out of print.
