Milan Dufek (6 May 1944 in Prague – 17 November 2005 in San Andrés, Colombia)[1][2] was a Czech singer, composer, guitarist and flautist.
He was a co-founder of the Czech pop folk band Rangers.
The band was renamed Plavci (Swimmers) in 1971 due to concerns about sharing its name with "American killers in Vietnam" (the United States Army Rangers).
[2] Band member Radek Tomášek left Plavci in 1973 due to rivalry with Dufek.
[5] Dufek died in 2005 in a scuba diving accident on the island of San Andrés, Colombia, when he collided with a boat.
