{{Short description|Serbian pop group}}
'''Luna''' ({{langx|sr|Луна}}) is a popular pop group from [[Serbia]] with considerable popularity throughout the former Yugoslavia. The key group member is multi-instrumentalist and composer Čeda Čvorak (born Čedomir Rajičić).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/%C4%8Ceda+%C4%8Cvorak|title=Čeda Čvorak|website=[[Discogs]]}}</ref> They released ten studio albums.
Luna have been recording albums since the late 1990s, and popular songs have included ''Drugarice'' (''Girlfriend'') with [[Svetlana Ražnatović]] (Ceca), and more recently ''Ne ostavljaj me'' (''Don't leave me''), featuring [[Gloria (Bulgarian singer)|Gloria]] from [[Bulgaria]] (one of a number of songs sung in [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]] and [[Serbian language|Serbian]]). The song was originally released by Luna in 1999 and sounds like the [[The Sisters Of Mercy|Sisters Of Mercy]]'s song "[[This Corrosion]]".
The first and best known lead singer was Serbian female singer Maja Marković, who stayed in the group from 1997. She left the group in 2006 and was replaced by the studied ballerina Kristina Čanković, who was the lead singer from 2007 to 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pressonline.rs/sr/vesti/dzet_set_svet/story/63345/JA+SAM+LUNA!.html|title = Ja Sam Luna!}}</ref> Notable songs sung by Kristina had been ''[[Halid 08#Track listing|Ulica uzdaha]]'' and ''Jako, Jako'' released in late 2007. ''Ulica uzdaha'' was a duet with distinguished [[Bosnia and Herzegovina|Bosnian]] singer [[Halid Bešlić]].
In 2009 the new female vocalists [[Zejna|Zejna Murkić]] and Lidija Jadžić joined the group and released two albums together.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.grupaluna.net/ |title=Dobrodosli na zvanicnu prezentaciju Grupe Luna - www.grupaluna.net - Grupa Luna sajt |accessdate=2009-05-02 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090409061309/http://www.grupaluna.net/ |archivedate=2009-04-09 }} Band website</ref> In 2010 Čeda Čvokak announced that he would stop working with Zejna Murkić and would work only with Lidija Jadžić in the future.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.kurir-info.rs/ceda-cvorak-najurio-pevacicu-clanak-54580 |title=Čeda Čvorak najurio pevačicu - Kurir |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130416115529/http://www.kurir-info.rs/ceda-cvorak-najurio-pevacicu-clanak-54580 |archive-date=16 April 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Shortly after this statement Ivana Krunić joined the group.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kurir-info.rs/pevacicu-grupe-luna-ubola-skorpija-clanak-259670|title = Pevačicu grupe Luna ubola škorpija!}}</ref>
