Energit is a jazz fusion ensemble originating from Prague, Czech Republic, established in 1973 by guitarist Luboš Andršt, vocalist Ivan Khunt, drummer Jaroslav Erno Šedivý, and bassist Vladimír Padrůněk.[1][2] Shortly after formation, the lineup changed as Šedivý and Khunt left the country. During the mid-1970s, Energit’s musical style was shaped by fusion pioneers such as the Mahavishnu Orchestra, leading to the addition of a horn section. Throughout its existence, the band included prominent Czech fusion and rock artists like vocalist Vladimír Mišík, drummer Anatoli Kohout, and keyboardist Emil Viklický before dissolving in 1980.
In the early 21st century, the group reunited under the name Energit Luboše Andršta, with Andršt on electric guitar until his passing in 2021. The reformed lineup also featured drummer Jiří Zelenka, bassist Vladimír Guma Kulhánek, and keyboardist/vocalist Jan Holeček.[3]
