Zhi-Vago is a dreamhouse project consisting of the producers Claudio Mangione and Gottfried Engels (who also stands behind the project Bellini). They started with a track called With Or Without You, a cover version of the U2-song. But the U2 management forbade the version, considering there should not be a dance version of this song.
The first succesful single was Celebrate the Love with vocals of Joan Wilson. It included a Radio version, an Over the clouds mix and a Club mix. It was released under the Edel sub-label Gang Go Music. A Remix Edition followed.
The next single Dreamer featured vocals from Eliz Yavuz. The CD single included a Radio version, an Into your mind mix, a Club mix and an Inner voice mix. Celebrate the Love and Dreamer were quite successful in the charts.
There could have been a re-release of With Or Without You. The CD single included a FM Radio Mix, an Eternal Heart Mix, a Club Mix and as B-side a remix of Dreamer (Chuck Mellow mix). Afterwards Eliz left Zhi-Vago.
May 1997 a new song was released : Teardrops From Heaven with vocals from Simone. On the CD single one could find a FM video mix, a Rainbow mix, a Club mix and a Tears of Allah mix
2002 : after many years of silence, Zhi-Vago released Celebrate The Love 2002. It included remixes by Toby Lee Connor and DJ Garry, and was very successful at Russian airplay.
