Their repertoire includes both; traditional a cappella songs and Dalmatian folk songs accompanied by traditional string and wind instruments. In addition to performances at numerous festivals, the klapa started with their own concert program “In the footsteps of the Republic*”, in which it reanimated and gathered 16 original songs of the Dubrovnik region and with the help of a lijerica player, a toaster, actors and dancers who displayed a musical reflection of the Dubrovnik music history.

Klapa Kaše have released four CD’s; “Rego” (The Gift), “Tragom Republike” (In the footsteps of the Republic), “Tezoro” (The Treasure) and “Misa Sv. Vlaha” (St. Blaise’s Mass).
