1958

Luba (born Lubomyra Kowalchyk (Любомира Ковальчук), 24 April 1958) is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, and recording artist from Montreal.

Luba Kowalchyk was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1958 to Ukrainian immigrant parents.

Growing up, she studied piano, guitar, flute, and voice.

During her teens, she traveled across Canada to perform traditional Ukrainian folk songs at weddings and festivals.

Two years later, Luba released her first solo album, called Lubomyra, via SAGE Promotions.

It again featured Ukrainian folk songs, but this time mixed with elements of jazz, blues, and rock.

Both Ukrainian albums featured her future drummer Peter Marunzak.
