Klapa singing, which has been on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2012, is a special form of polyphonic singing that is deeply rooted in the identity of Dalmatia.
The word “kantaduri” comes from the verb kantati – to sing, and kantaduri are the guardians of an old tradition passed down from generation to generation, often without music – only by heart and ear.

The 20th anniversary edition of the Faropis literary festival, which is reflected in Stari Grad on Hvar, will be dedicated to a great friend of that city and lover of that place, the recently deceased Tahir Mujičić.
During the two-day program, on August 22 and 23, 2026, friends and colleagues will recall Mujičić’s literary and dramatic works and his unique personality with which he always gathered people around him eager for interesting conversations, socializing and laughter.
The first day of the festival will do this through the musical and theatrical collage “Friends about Tahir Mujičić” in which the writer, academician Boris Senker, professor emeritus Joško Božanić, opera artist Dinko Lupi, musical artist Egle Trošelj, actor Kristijan Ugrina, and musician and actor Zoran Kelava will participate.
The second evening will see the promotion of Tahir Mujičić’s latest book “A little smaller novels or more about films and cinemas”, published shortly before Mujičić’s death in February this year. This collection of stories will be presented by academician Boris Senker.

The programs on both days will be held at St. Stephen’s Square at 9 p.m.
