Dalmatian klapa Tamarin
Croatia
It all started around Easter of 1991. Birth of klapa Tamarin happend on a peninsula in a World wide known historical City of Salona. It is called Vranjic , well known for its nickname ˝Little Venice˝ because it is a peninsula embraced by the Adriatic Sea, just like Venice – Italy. This klapa took the name of the plant, that grows near the salty soil. Since our ˝Little Venice˝ is hugged by the Sea so it grows and lives there. Despite the storms, dry and barren land, a strength of this plant defies conditions, and brings joy to everyone close to it - just like klapa , persisting in the song for 27 years. That beautiful plant is a tree of Tamaris – a faithful friend to the sounds of our Sea. In our dialect of Vranjic region, this tree bears the name Tamarin, so this female klapa beautified it self with that name.
