It is possible to double all the voices apart from the first tenor. It is usually composed of up to a dozen male singers. In recent times, female vocal groups have been quite popular, but in general male and female groups do not mix. Although klapa is a cappella music, on occasion it is possible to add a gentle guitar and a mandolin. Klapa can also be accompanied with synthesizer keyboards, usually simulating percussion instruments. The klapa tradition is still very much alive, with new songs composed and festivals held. Festival of the Dalmatian Klapas in Omiš is the best known music festival and has a long tradition in Klapa music. One of the most successful groups there in recent times is Klapa Šufit, who won the festival for 3 years in a row 2006-2008.

It is not unusual to hear amateur klapa singing on the streets in the evenings over some food and wine.
