STROMBOLI is an Italian island off the coast of Sicily but it's also a type of turnover filled with various Italian cheeses (typically mozzarella), however today we will be discussing another STROMBOLI and that is the progressive art rock band from Prague, Czech Republic that was originally founded by Michal Pavlí?ek in 1985 as a live jazz-rock trio for the Prague Jazz Festival and consisted of guitarist Michal Pavlí?ek, bass guitarist Vladimír Guma Kulhánek and drummer Klaudius Kryshpín. Previously Pavlí?ek was blacklisted by the repressive government of Czechoslovakia with his first band Prazsky Vyber (Prague Selection) and its liberal criticism of political affairs. Despite it being so, countless illegal cassette copies circulated the land and Pavlí?ek attracted an audience. As far as the name STROMBOLI goes, it was actually inspired by Pavlí?ek's witnessing of the volcano on the island of the same name.
