Dalmatian Serenaders Tenor Solo: Nick Sviarovich - Mornar Na Kubu (“Sailor to Cuba”)

A Dalmatian‑American 78rpm issue from the small Stanchel Record Company, serving the Croatian and Dalmatian immigrant community. The Dalmatian Serenaders were a community ensemble assembled for regional ethnic releases in the 1940s . Tenor Nick Sviarovich delivers a classic Croatian vocal performance in the Dalmatian serenade tradition. Stanchel was one of several West Coast ethnic micro‑labels issuing Croatian, Dalmatian, and Balkan‑American recordings for local immigrant communities. These discs were pressed in small quantities and distributed through cultural clubs, fraternal halls, and community gatherings. Surviving copies are scarce, making this disc a valuable artifact of mid‑century Croatian diaspora music.
