Hey Irene :yahoo: It's been ages we talked :wub:

Hello Robbie lovers :wub:

 

NICKY!!! :cheer: :yahoo: :cheer: :yahoo:

It was a "beautiful" ceremony. They asked one famous klapa from Zadar to sing, couldn't hold my tears :cry:

 

And here is an explanation from Wikipedia what klapa is :D

 

The klapa music is a form of a cappella singing. The word klapa translates as "a group of people" and traces its roots to litoral church singing. The motifs in general celebrate love, wine (grapes), country (homeland) and sea. Main elements of the music are harmony and melody, with rhythm very rarely being very important.

 

A klapa group consists of a first tenor, a second tenor, a baritone, and a bass. It is possibe to double all the voices apart from the first tenor. Although klapa is a capella music, on occasion it is possible to add a gentle guitar and a mandolin (instrument similar in appearance and sound to tamburitzas).

 

Klapa tradition is still very much alive, with new songs composed and festivals held. Many young people from Dalmatia treasure klapa and sing it regularly when going out eating/drinking. It is not unusual to hear amateura sing klapa music on the streets in the evenings over some food and wine.

 

It is usually composed of up to a dozen male singers singing very harmonic tunes. In recent times, female vocal groups have been quite popular, but in general male and female groups do not mix.

Hi Jups and Mr Bump :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

 

@ Jups, can you hear yet?

Only in my right ear :cry:

 

I woke up this morning and I was even deafer. So I went to see a pharmacist. He looked at me kind of strangely when I regaled him with my tale but then retrieved ear drops from behind his counter. I've to put 5 drops into said ear twice a day. Oh and I've to stop poking it... :rolleyes:

 

He said warm water softens the ear wax and makes it expand into a pulpy goo. Which then blocks the ear. The drops are supposed to dissolve the wax. :unsure:

a few times.

 

Hopefully the ear drops will do the trick Jups, if no better in a couple of days

you should go to the doctors
