Mira Kubasińska

Mira Kubasińska (8 September 1944 – 25 October 2005) was a Polish blues rock singer during the big beat (an alternative term for rock and roll) period of the Polish music scene in the 1960s and 1970s. She was a member of the bands Blackout, Breakout, and After Blues.

Early life Kubasińska was born at Bodzechów, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland in 1944. She grew up in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski.

Music career Kubasińska moved to Rzeszów, Podkarpackie Voivodeship, in November 1962 to join the band of Roman Albrzykowski, a band leader for dance orchestras.

While travelling to play in the Netherlands in 1973, Kubasińska and other members of Breakout were involved in a serious car accident on the motorway near Arnhem. She was the most seriously injured and was hospitalised. After the accident, there was a gradual depreciation of Kubasińska's position in Breakout, and the band also became less popular in Poland.

A memorial plaque has been erected in Kubasińska's memory at the Old Cemetery in Rzeszów, Podkarpackie Voivodeship, Poland.

Kubasińska has been referenced in a 2008 poem by cultural historian and writer Stanislav Lvovsky.
