6th Annual Concert / 6. Godišnji koncert

Our 6th Annual concert that we held in December of 2021 went the best that it possibly could, given the circumstances. We had to overcome many obstacles to make it happen, such as a significantly reduced capacity, missing members, and singing with masks on. There were moments that we thought we might have to cancel it altogether. We thankfully had a great deal of understanding from all sides, especially from our friends from Darbazi – the guest performing group from Toronto. We think it is important to stay active and to show that we are here and working, even behind the scenes. However, it is extremely difficult to organize any events in this situation since it is constantly changing.

We enjoyed singing in front of an audience again, after an almost two-year pause. Singing with masks on was challenging, however we managed it. Our repertoire was traditional Dalmatian klapa songs, with some new songs and arrangements. We are thankful that for the first time we had the chance to hear traditional singing from the Republic of Georgia. Our friends from Darbazi introduced this style of singing to us beautifully and we immensely enjoyed their harmonies. Our collaborative effort was the performance of Silent Night at the end of the event, which you can see in the video at the link below. Their company was even more enjoyable to us and we had a great time together, which we hope to have again in the future.

We are hoping that better times are ahead of us, for which we have a lot of events and projects in our plans.

P.S. The masks were taken off only for a moment to capture our beautiful smiles 🙂


Naš 6. godišnji koncert koji smo održali u prosincu 2021. protekao je najbolje što je mogao, s obzirom na okolnosti. Morali smo prevladati mnoge prepreke da bismo ga realizirali, poput značajno smanjenog kapaciteta, članova koji su nedostajali i pjevanja s maskama. Bilo je trenutaka kada smo mislili da ćemo ga možda morati u potpunosti otkazati. Na svu sreću imali smo puno razumijevanje sa svih strana, a posebno od naših prijatelja iz Darbazija – gostujuće grupe iz Toronta. Mišljenja smo da je vrlo važno ostati aktivan i pokazati da smo prisutni i da radimo, čak i skriveni od očiju javnosti. Međutim, iznimno je teško organizirati bilo kakva događanja u ovoj situaciji, jer se ona stalno mijenja.

Ponovno smo uživali pjevajući pred publikom, nakon gotovo dvogodišnje pauze. Pjevati s maskama bilo je zahtjevno, no uspjeli smo. Na repertoaru su nam bile tradicionalne dalmatinske klapske pjesme, s nekim novim pjesmama i obradama. Drago nam je što smo po prvi put imali priliku čuti tradicionalno pjevanje iz Republike Gruzije. Naši prijatelji iz Darbazija su nam vrlo lijepo predstavili ovaj stil pjevanja i iskreno smo uživali u njihovim harmonijama. Naš zajednički nastup bila je izvedba pjesme Silent Night na kraju koncerta, koju možete pogledati u videu na poveznici ispod. U njihovom društvu nam je bilo vrlo ugodno i lijepo smo se proveli zajedno, a nadamo se da ćemo i nastaviti na isti način.

Nadamo se da su pred nama bolja vremena, za koja imamo već planirano puno događanja i projekata.

p.s. Maske su skinute samo na trenutak, da se uhvate naši lijepi osmijesi 🙂
