Darka & Slavko (in Ukrainian Дарка й Славко) was a popular musical duo of two first generation Ukrainians: Darka Konopada & Slavko Halatyn met in the mid-80's through their involvement with a Ukrainian college group's poetry reading for political prisoners. Here began a ten-year musical collaboration as well as an eight-year marriage. "Darka & Slavko" continued to perform in concerts around the world, and in addition to their three studio albums, they also recorded a live album with jazz renditions of their favorite songs. In 1997, "Darka & Slavko" had split up personally and professionally.
