During the course of their nine year run from 1977-1986, New York based Iskra was one of the most popular and influential Ukrainian dance bands in North America. Released in 1979, Iskra's self-titled debut album served as a calling card for the music one might hear at an Iskra dance (zabava), wedding or stage show appearance. Ranging from sentimental post World War II standards such as "Hey Ha", by Ukrainian tango king Bohdan Wesolowsky, to 60's pop hit "Try Trembity", by legendary Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk, the album showcases Iskra's signature three part harmony vocals and distinctive interpretations of Ukrainian folk songs, as well as three original compositions by band members Oles Kuzyszyn ("Ty Moya" and "Sumerk") and Jaroslaw Palylyk ("Spomyny Lita").
