On their second CD they recorded "Letters of Your Letter" dedicated to their famous hometown singer Oliver Dragojevi.
Bonaca Seattle started making music in 2010 when its founding members wanted to create a group that could play like a great tamburica band but also sing like a traditional Dalmatian klapa.

Members of Bonaca also comprise the Ruze Dalmatinke Orchestra, which provides the music for the dances of the Vela Luka Dance Ensemble.
