The Czech Republic, also known as Czechia, is located in central Europe, bordering Germany, Poland, Slovakia and Austria.
On February 14th, 1990, the first shop and CD rental was opened under the name Indies on the Milady Horakove 25 street in Brno. After a year of the shop’s existence, Indies Records label was founded with the motto: We release music we like and we like to listen to. Since the early rock music styles, the label gradually opened up to other genres. Folk and folk-rock albums are released, world music and folklore are added, but there are also blues, rock, jazz and rap. In 2005, the recording Studio Indies was established, and in 2007 the label was divided into three independent publishing houses with joint distribution.
The Czech Republic has a bluegrass music scene. There is a book about the Czech bluegrass panorama: Czech Bluegrass: Notes from the Heart of Europe (University of Illinois Press) by Lee Bidgood.
