Synkopa
years active: 1964 - 1971
beat band from Prerov, founded by several members of the jazz ensemble Dixieland XI. A number of interesting musicians went through the band, the best known of them the singers Pavel Novak and Jaroslav Wykrent. The band never officially broke out but after Wykrent's departure, they went out of the wider public focus. After several not too successful attempts to bring back the original members, the active remnants of the band changed name to Synkopa 2010.
