The SWEdishCROnnection is a group of people and organizations that connects Swedish bands with the Croatian music scene and Croatian bands with the Swedish music scene. With help and support from the Swedish adult education organization Studiefrämjandet and the Croatian music club Good Vibrations, Perica Stefan and Zdravko Zizmond got their ideas rocking and rolling. The SWedishCROnnection became
reality and Swedish bands got tours in Croatia and great media coverage. Bands from Croatia got the opportunity to do tours in Sweden recording albums, and become a part of the Swedish music scene. The SWEdishCROnnection became a family consisting people, organizations and festivals from Sweden and Croatia that had a lot in common.
