The CMC festival, the largest festival of local pop and party music, is bringing the biggest names of the regional music scene to Vodice again this summer.
In the heart of Dalmatia, where the scent of salt blends with the songs of laborers, voices preserving the most valuable parts of our heritage have been resonating for a quarter of a century. The female klapa Oršulice proudly celebrates 25 years of dedicated work, love for klapa singing, and the unbreakable friendship that binds them through every note they sing.
