Canadian Tour 1983 - is the third studio album of Sofia Rotaru, recorded in Ukraine. The album was released in 1983 in Canada and United States with 12 tracks (two side vinyl). The given album is not part of the official discography of Sofia Rotaru and is therefore one of the earliest releases of the singer abroad. The release of the album followed the concert tour in Canada in 1983. After the album was released the Soviet concert administration put in effect interdiction to Sofia Rotaru to leave the Soviet Union for 5 consecutive years due to her increasing popularity in the West. In 1983, American musical critics describe Sofia as a widely known singer in the US and Canada, whereas Western European musical critics call her the Soviet Nana Mouskouri.
