The local Klape groups (an a cappella form of music) sing using the Korčula dialect.[8] The well know Croatian singer, Oliver Dragojevic, has used the dialect in his music. Korčula's old name was Corzula. The island was from 1420 to 1797 part of the Republic of Venice. Melaina Korkyra (Greek: Μέλαινα Κόρκυρα, "Black Corfu") was the name of the island given by ancient Cnidian Greeks. The Old-Slavic term was Krkar.

  8. ^ The traditional Klapa was composed of up to a dozen male singers (in recent times there are female Klape groups). Klapa singing dates back centuries. The arrival of the Croatians to Dalmatia and their subsequent settlement in the area, began the process of the cultural mixing of Slavic traditions with that of the Latin population of Dalmatia. This process was most evident in the coastal and island regions of Dalmatia. In the 19th century a standard form of Klapa singing emerged. Church music heavily influences the arrangements of this music giving it the musical form that exists today.
