HRT (Croation National Broadcaster) had announced that this year at Eurovision 2013 they would revert to a traditional “Klapa” to fly the flag of the nation in Sweden. Today 6 male singers were selected by Maestro Mojmir Čačija . He will also be responsible for the vocal arrangement of the act/song. The song will be composed by Nikša Bratoš and Dragan Brnas and will be fully performed next week. Here though is the first clip of the song performed by “Super Klapa” as they are known

A small portion of the song will be debuted tonight at 19:30(CET) on the television show Dnevnik (News diary) on HRT1.

Croatia are hoping to reverse their Eurovision fortunes which have seen them miss out on the Eurovision Finals since 2009.

2013 marks the 20th anniversary of Croatia’s debut at the Eurovision Song Contest in Millstreet, Ireland – where the band “Put” performed the charming ballad/lullaby “Don’t Ever Cry”.
