	Kingdoms of the Savanna: The Luba and Lunda Empires \| Thematic Essay \| Timeline of Art History \| The Metropolitan ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The Luba empire's expansion was due to its development of a form of government that was durable enough to withstand the disruptions of succession disputes and flexible enough to incorporate foreign leaders and governments.
		Dynastic rulers of the Luba empire traced their ancestry to the mythic Kalala Ilunga, a hunter who was credited with toppling the cruel and despotic ruler Nkongolo and introducing signature elements of Luba culture.
		According to Lunda genesis myths, a Luba hunter named Chibinda Ilunga introduced the Luba model of statecraft to the Lunda sometime around 1600 when he married a local princess and was granted control of her kingdom.

	luba
		Although the history of the Luba people is one of violence and warfare, their artistic style is characterized by harmonious integration of organically related forms.
		The splendid artistic achievements of the Luba are due to a felicitous intermingling of different racial and cultural elements, and to the high standards prevailing at the court.
		Among the characteristics of Luba sculpture are: intricate hair-dress, often in the form of a cross, or falling down like a cascade; a grooved diagonal band separating the hair-line from the forehead; eyes shaped like coffee-beans; small simplified ‘cat’s ears’; ornamental cicatrices in relief on the body; the surface elaborately worked and polished.

	The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music - Luba (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Luba must have gotten tired of the over-produced, synthesized 1980s because as the '90s approached, they radically changed their musical style.
		With her later release, All or Nothing, Luba eschewed the style and long gloves for a decidedly Americana, John Mellencamp roots rock and roll approach, which utilized her strong voice to good effect.
		Luba has obviously gone through some hard times since her last album, and the lyrics reflect that.

	CD Baby: LUBA DVORAK: Parts for Sale
		Luba Dvorak was born in Brno, Czech Republic.
		Luba Dvorak is hardly the kind of name that conjures images of country music, but this Canadian resident (originally from Czechoslovakia) has taken some of the finest sources of contemporary roots and Americana and put them together on this fine (if somewhat derivative) debut.
		Luba’s work can be seen in a similar light, there is nothing here to dramatically upset the apple cart, yet it is distinctive and refined enough to make it listenable.

		This CD gave me tremendous pleasure on many levels because the singing of Luba is a lost art and her selections were uniquely eclectic and entertaining.
		Her operatic voice is a natural wonder and the positive influence of her teacher, Maria Callas, adds a legendary luster to an already special talent.
		Duke was an amazing piano virtuoso and her performance of the unjustly obscure "Ages Ago" was a highlight for me. All in all, this CD gave me a great deal of pleasure.
