CheCk ouT The CzeCh woRld MuSIC SCene

CheCk out the CzeCh world muSiC SCene!

dear world music lovers, fans, professionals, and artists. you’re holding a special guide that maps the Czech world music scene, from clubs, festivals, musicians, through promoters, labels, workshops, to music awards. while thinking about design of this guide, our aim was to show the beauty of Czech traditions. That’s why we decided to present stunning folk ornaments of traditional blueprint fabrics called modrotisk. The technique of wooden hand-block printing and hand-dyed indigo cotton and linen fabric started in the 18th century, and is still practiced by a small number of family workshops in Moravia. It was added to the uneSCo Intangible Cultural heritage list in 2018, nominated jointly by the Czech Republic, Slovakia, hungary, and Austria. we hope this guide will be a useful companion when planning your cultural and professional activities. P. S. We will be glad for your feedback and any additions. Please, contact us at info@soundczech.cz
