God FORBID! Thanks but no thanks. In that case I would miss whole ESC. More shameful song we couldn't send, bottom of all bottoms.

WHAT!?!? 'Moja Stikla' is the best entry Croatia sent since 1999!!! I loved it and it deserved such a better outcome. Now those type of entries are the very reason of ESC existence imo! :mrgreen:

Afrika Paprika!!! xcheer

Re: CROATIA 2013

I've read somewhere that many are complaining for years for Croatia not sending traditional music and that that's why they wanna send klapa :/

Well, I'd love something traditional/ethno from Croatia, but not in such a sleepy dated way as Klapa :/

Entries for NF should be made for klapa.

Re: CROATIA 2013

Hmmm, I'm just as pessimistic about this as you guys but maybe they'll come up with some contemporary klapa somehow??? (if that's even possible). I haven't seen one klapa song I liked so far so I'm not holding my breath though.

Re: CROATIA 2013

I'm not that surprised or sad about this decision. Klapa is the music I grew up listening to, and it would be nice to finally see that part of croatian heritage on ESC. If such a song would've been sent in the 60's it would do good, but nowadays I don't see it getting more than 20 points in the semi. Although I must praise HRT for not getting all trashy (like they did in 2011.). Personally I'd like to see Klapa Kampanel, Klapa Libar, Cambi or Klapa Sveti Florijan... the ones I really don't wanna see us representing are Klapa Intrade (+ Tomislav Bralić) or Klapa Maslina because their melodies are literally always the same (lyrics too).

Re: CROATIA 2013

Well, why NOT TO TRY? For the first time we would send something like this to represent us in ESC. I think we shouldn't be pessimistic immediately. After all, there are more klapa versions and styles, not only one (listen to Klapa Cambi - type some of their songs on youtube!) They are great!
Plus there can be various versions.....so I suggest to wait until the final choice for the band and for the song style. OK?

Re: CROATIA 2013

FYI guys, I just realised it says that it doesn't need to be a klapa song strictly but it can be pop song with klapa elements. Imagine another Proljeće. :D

Hmm, I'm confused... isn't Klapa a band?? I've thought so throughout this discussion :lol: :lol:

I was judging the YT videos posted on one of the previous pages, it looked like the same band on all the videos and there was even a Wiki-link to some band with the name Klapa :lol:

So Klapa is a genre??? Well that changes things I guess... I feel so stupid because I honestly thought it was ONE band with ONE style of music and here I was totally against the idea with no actually understanding of what it was :oops: :lol:

So WHAT exactly is "Klapa" then? The clips on the other page sounded kinda same-y and I didn't like any of them so I was jumping too fast on the "No to Klapa bandwagon" :lol: ... is their examples of different takes at this genre?

Re: CROATIA 2013

Even I personally like klapa music, I'm not to confident that ordinary European audience will understand it on right way. And that's the reason why I believe that song will not be in classical klapa manner, probably some mix of klapa singing style an pop elements in music. And that can be very good combination

And much much better option would be Istrian or Slavonian ethno music (if HRT want than kind of music)

Well, if that 'Proljece' song is any example of what Klapa could sound like, then I'm quite optimistic :)

Re: CROATIA 2013

Proljeće is example of what I expected from Croatia this time, and thats why I say that classical klapa is probably not a option (klapa is traditional Dalmatian a cappella singing)

Re: CROATIA 2013

Well, I think maybe this could be okish for esc. First one I even wouldn't called klapa's song. It is kinda pop-rock song just sang by klapa. Other one is very nice, but it is some kind of mix of Slavonian + Dalamatian (klapa) music. And song should has official video like that one.
