Czech (Moravian) folk-rock group, formed in 1969 in Ostrava, initiated by producer František Trnka. Led by Miroslav Večeřa until 1972, later by Richard Kroczek. Initially focused on (partially progressive) rock adaptations of Slavic folk songs. In late 1970s they also began to perform original prog rock and art rock material, mainly composed and produced by Jan Spálený, later also own compositions by group members.
