One of Croatia's finest national and cultural institutions is Lado, the ensemble for folk dances and songs of Croatia and some would say our cultural ambassadors to the world.
In its 60 years, Lado has gathered the most famous Croatian choreographers, ethno-musicologists, folklorists and composers who have spent endless hours in choreographing some of the most magnificent dances and songs of our land.
Today, Lado has 37 outstanding dancers who are at the same time excellent singers and they can easily transform from a dance ensemble into a folk choir, whilst there are also 15 excellent musicians that play 50 traditional and classical instruments. Their exquisite costumes are of amazing beauty with some older then 100 years.
