\u201cKlapa Kartolina\u201d is a mixed klapa (group of a capella singers) of six members, which has been active since 2013, and is attached to the Croatian parish of St. Francis of Assisi in Windsor. The group has been registered since 2015 as a federal, non-profit association in Canada, and under its auspices there are two youth groups \u201cFritule\u201d for the girls and \u201cBerekin\u201d for the boys. Most of the klapa’s performances and activities take place in Canada, but they have also performed in Croatia, where their greatest honor was to perform at the Dalmatian klapa Festival Omi\u0161 as a guest at the 50th anniversary festival in 2016, and at the Evenings of Klapa singers from Emigration in 2019.<\/p>\n
