Traditional Dalmatian Klapa Singing at Diocletian's Palace, Split, Croatia

- Passing Thru wrote extensively about our travels through Croatia. Learn more from these blog posts: passingthru.com/category/trave.... Diocletian’s Palace is a seaside compound consisting of a villa, temples of worship, public square and walled military garrison. It was built for the Roman Emperor between 295-305 CE.
Klapa - meaning “group of friends” - is Dalmatia’s traditional a cappella singing.
The Palace Vestibule was intended as a place to greet visitors before they entered into the residence.
The most dramatic feature of the Vestibule is its open air oculus. “Oculus” is Latin for “eye.” The oculus is seen as a path between earth and sky.
UNESCO has inscribed klapa in its Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and listed Diocletian’s Palace as a World Heritage site.
Before I visited Croatia for the first time a few years ago, I had seen a clip of a Klapa choir on a travel program (Rick Steve’s?) and their performance really took my breath away. So when I finally made it to Split, my # 1 objective was to find one of these choirs. And I did. And the wonder of their sound, as they stood singing in a portico of Diocletian’s Palace, sent chills up and down my spine. I bought their cd and, listening to it years later, it has the same mesermizing effect on me, even as I drive to my work, very, very far away from the beautiful Dalmatian Coast.

to je predivno čut !! ❤❤😊 My dad is from Zadar - and the klapa group from there is (the very famous) Klapa Intrade ! 🎤🎤 🇭🇷 check them out as well ~ but I am sure you have already ❤
That’s why I’m here too. The Rick Steve’s clip! They are on youtube now.

Once I was on the island of Vis and few random locals just gathered to sing accapella. There was an old lady looking out of her stone house window It was like being in a different time slot, in a fairy tale, so beautiful.
Volim Dalmacija i volim klapa! (ja sam iz Nizozemske)
Absolutely, spectacularly, breathtakingly gorgeous. Just five voices is all it takes to make pure magic.
We had the pleasure of experiencing Klapa singing in this exact location - beautiful harmonies and so soothing in its excellent delivery!!
We too
Moja lipa dalmacija ❤️
Moj lipi Get , tu sam zivila do moga 6 rodendana
On the verge of tears. Bravo.
I saw them 2 days ago. They are still singing. They never left
I've only discovered kalpa tonight and to hear it at the Palace of the man who split the Roman Empire into Byzantium and the Holy Roman Empire is breathtaking.
The Diocletian's palace is marvelous and very well preserved considering how many wars town of Split has been through since the time palace had been built (1700+ years). Right now there are many conservation projects in and around the palace where they preserve and clean ancient stone walls, cathedral, towers, etc. If you visit it in a year or two you'll cry out of happiness!
P.S.
The Emperor divided it into Western Roman Empire not Holy Roman Empire. Holy Roman Empire is a whole different thing that came at a later time, in 10th century, and has nothing to do with emperor Diocletian 😀
Beautiful 😍
Beautiful music!
Lorsque vous vous baladez et que des voix vous appellent, voici ce que vous pouvez découvrir. C'est magnifique
C'est de l'art vocal de la Dalmatie avec des voix exceptionnellement naturelles.
Truly beautiful
Fantastic acapella in fantastic place!
God, I would love to sing in one of these groups. What a thrill it would be!
There are people who teach Klapa singing in the US. I had a teacher from Los Angeles for a while. Would travel around and teach people the songs. I did it for several years, and it was a delight.
Pięknie :)
Wow! How magnificent. Thank you for sharing!

Byłam w Pałacu Dioklecjan

What a quirky Serbian shit. Can you not simply stay where you belong in this "Pasaluk" in and around Belgrade, forgotten by the Turks in the Balkans? How do you get to speak about Croatian culture and tradition in Serbia of forgotten Turkish slaves?
Was für eine gequirlte serbische Scheiße. Könnt ihr nicht einfach dort bleiben, wo ihr hingehört in diesem von den Türken auf dem Balkan vergessenen "Pasaluk" in und um Belgrad? Vie kommst du in Serbien vergessener türkischer Sklave dazu, dich zu kroatischer Kultur und Tradition zu äußern?

Thank you for singing this beautiful song written by Serbian poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj. This shows that Croats and Serbs can respect each other's culture
@@antunoreb2779 Originalni tekst pesme: Kad sam bio na tvom grobu
Zamirisa mir bosiljka,
A meni se priču glasak:
„Šta mi radi moja Smiljka?“
Tvoja Smiljka, sirotanka,
Još ne može nogom stati,
A otac je zborit’ uči -
Prva reč joj biće: Mati!
Kad uzmogne nogom stati,
Kad nauči mater zvati,
Dovešću je grobu tvome,
Tu nek kaže: Mati, mati!
Oh, kako će na te glase
Crna guja jada moga
Upiti se, stegnuti se
Oko srca ranjenoga!
Pa će možda smrtnim stegom
Razdrobiti svu tegotu, -
Vi’š, kako su lepi nadi,
Što me drže u životu!
Misliš ukradena Hrvatska tradicionalna pjesma od srbijanca? Ništa novoga...
Sadly, they only allow men to sing this music.
traditional acapella singing like this was hugely popular in both sexes throughout history going back hundreds if not thousands of years in Dalmatia.. one of my all-time-favourite klapa songs is one by female singers ruclips.net/video/KPUk1GwOOMM/видео.html
Not true. My wife is a first soprano in a female klapa called Klapa Storija.
There are women’s and mixed klapas, too.
Not true...
