Authentic, traditional Hvar as its very best.
And if you are on the island today and tomorrow, I encourage you to check out one of the true treasures of Dalmatia, the abandoned shepherd’s village of Humac, which for the next two days will come alive with the second Etno Hvar Festival, bringing together some of the finest traditions and most interesting characters on the island. And while there are many fabulous things to say, and call me biased, an undoubtedly highlight will be the performance of the Vasko Atanosuvski Trio with our very own Klapa Frecija. Never heard klapa meet jazz – this is a truly fantastic experience. Here is a quick taster from last year’s Jazzelsa:
