Her ear is unmistakable, her taste is based on in-depth expertise: Anna Mika is probably the most renowned music journalist in the country. Robert Schneider interviewed her.
For decades, music journalist Anna Mika has enriched the cultural scene in Vorarlberg with her reviews, which impress with their high level of expertise and dedication to the subject of music. The path to music was not open to her from the start. She had to fight hard for it because her father, a gardener in Weihenstephan, wanted his daughter to become a chemical laboratory technician, and her mother “suggested a medical profession to me so that I could one day marry a doctor,” says Anna Mika. “Then I became a certified librarian. But what that time shaped at the time,” she continues, “I have only really come to understand in the last few years. My parents’ generation was still far too influenced by National Socialism and its authoritarian spirit. My parents were certainly not Nazis, they were politically red, but their parenting style was still influenced by that time. Gender roles in particular were fixed, so that a man had authority in a family and the women had to take care of that.’ Yet she did not let herself be chased away by the music, which had become increasingly important to her as a family as a young person.
