@NDHSlunj Thanks for your kind words, and peace to you and your family. I am not Croatian but loved their expressions of our shared humanity.

i think original Croation people are not slav, they are Caucasian Hurrians i think.

Are those traditional costumes from Luka? They look a litle bit like those from Montenegro (which is possible as it's not far away from there ;) ).

Jao Hrvati na West-Coast! It's strange to see them in such a typically american place. Good music and thanks for sharing. Lepa muzika lepo izvodena :)

Gee I recognize that band and the 2 women singing :) I also recognize Maria leading the kids group. Great Job that was a wonderful video. The day looked perfect and the band was wonderful as always.
