She has recorded or collaborated with Silvio Rodríguez, Pablo Milanés, Ana Belén, Pedro Guerra, Marta Gómez, Manuel García, Omara Portuondo, Chucho Valdés and Los Van Van. In addition to her own extensive work, which covers genres and expressions as varied as troubadour songs, habaneras, guajiras, son, bolero, ballads, and children’s music, she has included anthologies of great musical value dedicated to habaneras and other genres and major composers and performers of Ibero-American music.

Considered by many in Cuba as the most important composer and performer of her generation, Liuba has shared her art on all continents.

In 2025, she was given the Extraordinary Award for Artistic Mastery, recognizing her excellence and musical career.
