Europe is easy to travel but her cultures are hard to access if you don’t speak respective national languages. On similar grounds, it is not easy for musicians to reach listeners beyond their country of origin. Even if they sing in nearly-perfect English, there might not be anyone writing about them in the global language.

Visions of Zhiva is a music zine presenting artists from Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and beyond. Our choices are based on own taste and on what we feel might be interesting to an international audience. We hope to share the local talents with the rest of the rest of the world and to encourage a more dynamic exchange between local scenes. Our vision is that of a world where nationality (and other such categories) cease to play a role. We hope to build bridges not borders.

We are looking forward to receive any music recommendations you might have! We encourage bands to send us links to their music. Should you wish to contribute or collaborate in some way or other, contact us at visions@visionsofzhiva.com.
