Big Klapa Night in Jelsa, and a Klapa Cambi Invitation for Frecija

Total Croatia News

If you are a fan of klapa, Jelsa is the place to be this evening, as some of the biggest names in the country will be performing on the main sqaure from 21:00.

The event, organised by the Jelsa Tourist Board, is the first big event of the season, and if you are fluent Croatian speakers, you can learn more about it in the official information about the event below. If you are a tourist, Google Translate is your friend.

Mrs Total Hvar asked me to point out that the flyer is perhaps the most elegant she has seen this summer.

It should be a great event, although it is a little disappointing to learn that – despite being part of KUD Jelsa (whose dancers are performing) – the fabulous ladies of Jelsa’s first female klapa, Frecija, were not invited to perform for some reason. 

The disappointment will be short-lived however, as one of the biggest names in klapa, Klapa Cambi are apparently fans of the Jelsa ladies, and have invited them to perform with them iin Vrboska tomorrow evening. A great honour for the Jelsa ladies, who have made great progress since forming just three years ago.

Time and location for the Vrboska concert to be confirmed. I checked the Vrboska summer programme and there is no mention of the event, nor anything on the official Facebook page, but presumably that will change before the concert starts… 

UPDATE – Vrboska Tourist Board has now announced the concert will take place at 21:00 on the second bridge on the canal.
