Lojzo

Lojzo (also LOJZO) is a folk music group from Bratislava, Slovakia. It was formed in 1982 in Czechoslovakia by Marián Kochanský. The name is a backronym for "Ľudový Orchester Jednoduchej Zábavy Obyvateľstva" ("Folk orchestra for simple entertainment of population"). At the same time "Lojzo" is a diminutive form of the name Alojz (i.e., Aloysius, Lewis).^[1][2]

In 1987, the Czechoslovak popularity chart Zlatý Slavík^{[citation needed]} placed the group 22nd (6th among Slovak musicians), and in 1998 the Slovak Slávik Awards placed it 4th.^{[citation needed]}
