Taktici is a Slovak music group, established in 1977. In 1979 they defected to the US and in 1982 they went their separate ways.

History Taktici started their musical career in Bratislava's famous V-klub in 1970s. They played original melodic songs with controversial Slovak lyrics. In just three years from 1977–1979 they produced songs that withstood the advance of time and generations. Whats amazing is that even though their songs were played on the radio they’ve never been released on records. What’s even more incredible is that some songs that haven’t been played anywhere became cult hits. In 1979 they were invited to UK to take part in Gary Glitter show. When the communist government of Czechoslovakia cancelled their tour, three members Vlado Kolenič, Július Mikeš, and Štefan Peller decided to immigrate to USA. Everything associated with TAKTICI was banned. Songs were taken off the radio and anyone connected with the band was interrogated. After fall of the Berlin wall they were resurrected. Songs were back on the radio but the band never returned to Slovakia. Taktici Retrieved on 21 Feb 2018 In May 2013 the original band members reunited in New York City for a reunion show. It was attended by more than 300 people, most of them Slovak-Americans
