Ansambli „Klapp“ moodustavad Seto Kuningriigi tunnustatud meistrid: Toomas Valk (parim karmoškamängija 2013, 2012, 2010, 2008, 2006), Jalmar Vabarna (parim kasatski tantsija 2013, 2012, 2008, 2006) ja Kristjan Priks (parim kandlemängija 2008). Nemad on üks neid muusikalisi koosseise, mis on omas kategoorias surmkindla kvaliteedigarantiiga. Maitsekas minimalism ja kammerlik, ent võimas kõlapilt on Klapp'i kuulikindlad väärtused. Kui sul mängib pundis kuningriigi parim lõõtsamees ning Värska kõige nunnum kitarripoiss, on menu kindel tulema. Ei ole vist vaja ekstra rõhutada, et ega neid instrumentaalset seto tantsumuusikat mängivaid punte üleliia palju pole, liiatigi veel nii kõrgest klassist kui Klapp. Ando Kiviberg, "Folgileht" 22.-25.07.2010
Toomas Valk, Jalmar Vabarna, and Kristjan Priks are the inheritors of the dance music traditions of Setomaa (South Eastern Estonia), a culturally and musically unique enclave bordering, and historically influenced by, Estonia and Russia. "Klapp" infuses the grand old traditions with refreshing originality, satisfying both the village dancers and the sophisticated urban listener.
A performance by "Klapp" is filled with energy. Three young men with acoustic instruments, garbed in traditional clothes, draw upon a deep well of traditional music, subtly blended with their own compositions, to create an experience that is at once deeply moving and irresistibly danceable.
Festivals: Viljandi Pärimusmuusika Festival (Estonia), Kaustinen Folk Music Festival (Finland), TFF Rudolstadt (Germany), Andanças (Portugal).
