Narrow, arched streets under Romanic, Gothic and Renaissance windows and balconies and the quiet squares of ancient town of Trogir have always echoed the songs of peasants, fishermen and sailors. Their sadly or rustic melodies spread wonderfully through this stone built historic town.

Trogir's Dalmatian national songs spring forth from the everyday toil of coastal life that left traces enrooted in ancient songs sung by popular brotherhoods in Trogir's medieval churches.

Their songs can be sadly, mystical and gentle just like the rays of sun that penetrate through the lacy rock of Trogir's cathedral rosette, but they can be joyful and unbridled like the dishevelled vineyards of coastal Dalmatian rocky terraces.

Four decades ago, these dear, ancient songs of their ancestors were embraced with love and permanency by a group amazed by Trogir's traditional heritage who formed a vocal octet, the Klapa Trogir, as part of the Trogir Kolo choir.

Years of tireless, patient work by several generations of Trogir's singers guided by renowned musical pedagogues (J. Veršić, Lj. Stipišić, E. Tudor, N. Žličar, N. Buble, L. Voltolini, J. Ćaleta, V. Vuletin, M. Milin,... and so on), with the nobile aim of preserving and nurturing Trogir's Dalmatian music heritage have resulted in an exquisite musical opus. The entire opus is presented on fourteen discographic albums, several sheet music editions of popular songs from Trogir and its environs, recording for documentaries and screen films as well as numerous appearances on local and national television in Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, The Vatican, Rumania, Japan, the USA,... and so on.

This achievement in addition to numerous awards at the Festival of Dalmatian Klapas in Omiš, other festivals in homeland, related international festivals (USA, France, Germany, etc.) and concert tours throught Europe and the world, the Klapa Trogir has established itself as tha leader of the klapa movement in Croatia, promoting traditional values of an exceptionally wealthy Dalmaian vocal tradition in the homeland and abroad which was duly awarded with the Croatian Porin discographic award in 1998.
