The Male Voice Choir Burlaka - Which became Homin, in Manchester, UK
Here are some tracks from a recently released CD from a Burlaka recording
made around 1947. I recall this was a 78 rpm record with a red label - whose
name I do not remember.
The photograph below is taken from a book by Jaroslav Pankiv published by
the Veterans of the 1st Ukrainian Division of the UNA, Montreal, Canada.
If you would like to buy the whole CD, send email to mwmota@sprint.ca
It is based on his remeniscences entitled (translated) Rimini Ensemble
"Burlaka" In my memory, Italy 1945-1947 and England 1947-1949.
If you have better photographs of this choir (this was scanned from the
book above), please let me know - I would appreciate the opportunity to
get them scanned and used for this website.
