Abstract

Dalmatian klapa songs have been present in Slovenia for quite some time, but it has been only
over the last ten years or so that a growing number of singing groups have been performing
them. This article researches the motives for the formation of the groups, the emotional
connotations, the stance of the musicians towards the repertoire and music that they perform
and the relations towards the structural dimension of the music. In addition, the reasons for the
popularity of Dalmatian klapa-singing in Slovenia are addressed, as well as the manner in
which Slovenian singers evoke the stereotypes and idealise the geographically and culturally
distant, but simultaneously familiar, Dalmatian region.

Keywords
