Oliver Dragojevic

One of the most popular Croatian artists, Oliver Dragojević, who died in 2018 after a 50-year career, looms large as a Mediterranean music figure. He espoused the klapa tradition of his native Dalmatia, and was one of few Croatian artists of his era to enjoy international fame, with performances at Carnegie Hall in New York, Royal Albert Hall in London, Olympia in Paris and on other prestigious stages. Dragojević was also one of the many Croatian artists who used traditional sound as inspiration.
