The \u201cKralj Tomislav\u201d folklore ensemble has been working under the Croatian Cultural Society in Auckland for more than 30 years as one of the most successful promotors of Croatian cultural tradition, preserving the Croatian national identity in New Zealand. The 70-minute program includes almost 50 performers \u2013 dancers, singers, and musicians of the \u201cKralj Tomislav\u201d ensemble, the extraordinary vocal quartet of Samoan-Tongan singers called The Shades and members of the M\u0101ori kapa haka group called Te R\u014dp\u016b Manutaki. Some of them have Croatian roots, and they come from the Kaitaia region inhabited by the first Croatian emigrants to New Zealand. The orchestra also includes musicians from Croatia. The concert will begin with female soloist singer Ngakirikiri Kershaw from Te R\u014dp\u016b Manutaki with the Croatian song Dej mi Bo\u017ee, accompanied by The Shades vocal quartet, violoncello and a tamburitza orchestra. The \u201cKralj Tomislav\u201d group will perform choreographies of old dances from the island of Kor\u010dula, posko\u010dica from Herzegovina, and the ma\u0111arac dance, while the M\u0101ori group Te R\u014dp\u016b Manutaki will perform traditional M\u0101ori songs and dances. The Shades will sing Croatian and M\u0101ori songs, as well as songs from the islands of Tonga and Samoa, Fiji, Hawaii and Vanuatu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
