Klapa "Trogir"

Klapa "Trogir" (since 1964) - narrow, arched streets under Romanic, Gothic and Renaissance windows and balconies and the quiet squares of ancient town of Trogir have always echoed the songs of peasants, fishermen and sailors. Their sadly or rustic melodies spread wonderfully through this stone built historic town. Trogir's Dalmatian national songs spring forth from the everyday toil of coastal life that left traces enrooted in ancient songs sung by popular brotherhoods in Trogir's medieval churches. Their songs can be sadly, mystical and gentle just like the rays of sun that penetrate through the lacy rock of Trogir's cathedral rosette, but they can be joyful and unbridled like the dishevelled vineyards of coastal Dalmatian rocky terraces. Four decades ago, these dear, ancient songs of their ancestors were embraced with love and permanency by a group amazed by Trogir's traditional heritage who formed a vocal octet, the Klapa Trogir, as part of the Trogir Kolo choir.
