two Dalmatians have a glass of wine, beer or rakia, and sing, three have a glass, something to eat, and sing.And when they gather for some reason, Dalmatians sing even more !
Singing is in their blood, its a tradition going back ages and ages, some of it very crude, with hardly a melody, more the type of speaking-singing, where the lyrics tell a story (like newspapers and internet today).
And than there is klapa, a famous type of singing, sang by groups of people, at any moment, a feast or even a competition.
Omis, our shopping town is famous for its klapa festival in summer, a very serious and high quality gathering of many groups, with each and everyone performing at it's very best.
The songs are mainly romantic, about fisherman, seagulls and the sun over the Adriatic, and of course about girls, romance, lost loves and waiting ones.
This picture was taken at the baptising of our best friends son Josiph.
And of course, here was singing too, and great food, drinks and good company.
Stop talking, start singing !!!
