Sensational Ivano-Frankovsk singer Natalya Dzenkiv is now better known by her stage name of Lama and she has a major following among the ethno-funk faithful of Lviv. This was demonstrated yet again in December when Lama played to a packed house in Lviv’s Robert Doms cavernous basement beer and live music emporium. Lama has emerged from the sentimentality of 1990s UkrPop as a credible contender for the crown of queen of the vibrant Ukrainian ethno scene, making her a big favourite in Lviv, which is the unofficial capital of the modern renaissance of folk-inspired Ukrainian ethno-rock.
