KRILA ZAVIČAJA
“Krila Zavičaja” is a vocal group that nurtures traditions and customs from Krajina. The group was founded in 2000 in Canada, consisting of: Davor Lakić, Borivoj Lakić and Miro Lakić from Benkovac, and Željko Zec from Gračac.
They are the authors of many songs, some of which are on their album released in 2006.
They are the guardians of traditional „dry“ , the so-called “a capella” song, which was sung in the western regions of the former Yugoslavia, especially in Lika, Dalmatia, Kordun and Bania.
For more than 20 years, they have been performing at festivals in many cities in Canada and America, representing the cultural heritage of the Serbian people who once lived in the former province of Srpska Krajina, today’s Croatia.
