Cabo Verde used to be known by its English name Cape Verde, but the country's country wants us all to use the country's Portuguese name. Portuguese is the official language of this island nation off the coast of West Africa. It is a former Portuguese colony, and its population largely descends from both Portuguese settlers and West Africans brought there from the mainland. Before their arrival, the scattered islands of Cabo Verde were uninhabited.
The culture of Cabo Verde is a fusion of Portuguese and African cultures, and the language they use in daily life is Cape Verdean Creole, which got most of its vocabulary from Portuguese, but is not Portuguese.

It's not 9 islands, it is 10
Super
@@rmlrl1971 I referred to 9 major islands. I see that 10 are often counted. Of those, 9 are inhabited, as I understand it.
Ur video is awesome just a small minor mistake, the dish name is Katxupa.

Brothers & Sisters I want to come to cabo Verde from Pakistan.
But any airline doesn't fly for cabo Verde from Pakistan.
Plz some one help me to how can I take cheap flight from Pakistan???
Hi I wanna visit ur country
@@yaqeentv2703 you could try from great britain. there's a weekly fly straight to Cabo Verde by Tui.
ME TOO!!!
@@kachimoni you are welcome in my country
That church picture at 8:39 minutes is not in Cape Verde, it´s in the Azores (São Miguel Island), Igreja de São Nicolau in the village of Sete Cidades. Also, it's cachupa and not "capucha" :)
Some stock photographer is about to get a ferocious complaint for mislabeling his image.
Sim go nha mano eh ca capucha nou 🙄
Eh catxupa🙃

Ai moço toma lá a tua igreja 🤣, nossa que biolencia🤣🤣

Hi, I’m from Aruba 🇦🇼 our language is papiamento and is similar to Cabo Verde creole language, it’s so amazing that i can understand them
Thoughts in why the languages are similar?
@@macolcollins4813common origins. Search vídeo about it
Yes brother!!
Papiamento was the language of comunication even before portuguese arrive. After, the creole was adopted due to the expansion of enslaved people in that lands. A new comunication language borns. The mix between mainly papiamento, some westside African Countrys and the latin, more especificle Portuguese.
We're brothers cause we share the same ancestors so, the same origins as well. We just got separeted.
Thanks for thiiss, Im Cape Verdian living in the island of Sao Vicente located here in Cape Verde, all are welcome
Hi Paul; I am a Cape Verdean living in the USA...From Massachusetts, but currently living in California...Enjoyed your video. 🇨🇻❤️
Hi. I like to visit Cape verde
Hi, I’m also Cape Verdean. From RI but living in the Bay Area California for over a decade. 😊
Sou Filipino e amo a musica do Cabo Verde!
I love Cabo Verde, I try to go there every year. The hikes on Santiago and Santo Antao are wonderful. Cape Verdians are one of the most friendly people I know!
thx for the words bro, u welcome back anytime here huge from Sao Vicente
U need to come fogo special chă to hike to the top of Vulcan , it’s something also .
I am Cape Verdean and I love it when I visited ...I felt so rich there ..waking up near and the sound of the ocean !! You are very clear and thorough with this!!! Thank you
I met Cesaria Evora in Paris (district 5) in 1998 during an interview she had in a restaurant. ☺️♥️🇨🇻
Cabo Verde has an incredible culture and its peoples are absolutely amazing. As a Portuguese, I really feel that relations between Portugal and Cabo Verde flow both ways. Portugal is also largely influenced by Cabo Verde in many areas, but probably music is on the top of that list. A country with a huge charisma!
Great timing on this video. Last week I planned a week holiday to Cabo Verde (end June-mid July). Really excited to go there as it seems developed, gorgeous and there's a lot to explore :)
are you going to Sal island?
@@J19D82 Yes! Plan to make the most of the beach there haha.
@@DemonofChaos264 if you are looking for beaches that's one of the best islands to go, but every island have they own unique way to please you based on what you are looking for.
Best choice you have had...

Greetings from the Sahara desert northern Mali, I've never heard of that country, thanks a lot
I am from Cabo Verde 🇨🇻 and I live in the community where the volcano of fire is.
Thanks for video 🙏❤️
I'm from Cabo verde 🇨🇻 this is our story 🙏🏾 thanks for the video
I am half Cape Verdean. And I enjoyed this video
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that.
I was so excited when I saw the video!! I'm a Cape verdean subscriber, I'm from Sal but currently living in Praia, and planning on going back home for good this Year 🙏🏼 I love Langfocus as well, since I have this thing for languages 😄, I hope to see more about our culture and Kriolo from you! Keep up the good work! 🙏🏼😊Thank You!
Me too
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋🍀
Hi Tati. recently I received stamps from Cabo Verde from a Czech friend few days earlier and who was on holiday there few months earlier. I intend to do a educated post on history and philately of Cabo Verde. Do revert soon. My contact details are on my philatelic posts.
Hi! I am Cape Verdean living in the UK. Loved your video and hopefully more people will visit my lovely country as most people still don’t know where Cabo Verde is or heard about. Just a small correction though, the typical food is called “Cachupa” not “Capucha” and it’s just amazing, miss it everyday! Keep up the good work! Regards from London 🇬🇧
Hi, great to hear about your beautiful country. I want to find out about student life in Cabo Verde. Can you point me where can I start?
catchupa
Thanks for making this video... I'm Cape-verdean (from Sal) and so many people in the world don't know us
I'm capeverdean, you did a great job on this (been following langfocus for years now). Do try some catxupa when you get the chance, it's delicious, when I guarantee you'll never get the name of the fish wrong again 🤣 sorry, couldn't help myself. Again, great job!
Yo mo ku sta
Wow. Your video was a youtube suggestion since I'm from Cabo Verde and I'm so glad it did it because it was so well explained that I trust your research to get to know the other countries through your channel. Just a litte and humble observation. The well known dish is called cachupa (you said capucha). But with so solid information, I can say it is just a detail. You just gained a new subscriber. Nice work 😊
Thank you, Vanusa! I'm glad you liked it! Welcome. :)
Same
I lived there for almost 2 years! Love it forever! I'll be going back to visit in June.
I live in Cabo Verde, it's amazing country🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻 na mund ka tem país mas sab do ki nôs Cabo Verde😍
Hi, Paul. I am a subscriber of the Langfocus channel, it was a pleasant surprise to find this video.
Congratulations, you did a pretty good job! You nailed it at almost everything. A few remarks, though:
1 - Traditionally, we consider that they are 10 islands, not 9, even if one of them is uninhabited.
2 - Please, correct from “Aristide” to “Aristides”.
3 - We cannot be sure if the only active volcano is the Pico do Fogo! According to geologists, for a volcano to be considered extinct it must not have activity for 10,000 years. The only records about volcanic activity in Cape Verde date from the 15th century.
4 - Please, correct from “capucha” to “cachupa” (IPA: [kɐˈʃupɐ]).
Thanks!
Unfortunately I can’t make any corrections to videos that are already uploaded to RUclips. I hope they introduce that function someday.
Fascinating choice for this episode! 👍 Different from the mainstream countries covered so far! I’ve heard of Cabo Verde but didn’t know too much until now! 👍 Great work 😊
I’m Cape Verdean and Senegalese, I like my countries. But I live in FOGO !!! Nice work and it’s a good Channel !!
The most thing about Cape Verde it's the culture and the fact that we are so proud of our country, everywhere we go we carry our culture, and we are never ashamed of speaking creoul/ kriolu.
My grandmother raised me, she was creole’ and spoke nothing but to me, she also taught me to cook, clean, see and iron… she was a special women, I lost her when I was still young but never forgot her teachings til today, love for my mother is my favorite song in creole, always makes me cry, I’m a proud creole
hey there, im from cabo verde and i think this video was well done, just a small correction, its Cachupa not capucha kkkkk, but it was an amazing video
Thank you!
Very nice, our biggest resource is definitely our people. Over there clubs run till the morning, and neighbors don’t get upset if you blast music lol. Deff the closest to a cultural shock I had when I moved to the US
I was in Sal last month, hated coming back to the UK due to this! Good people and clean air are a more valuable resource than anything here
hahahaha, cumi bebi
I've been following Langfocus for years and I just found out about this channel today, I've been missing out on some great content 😭😭😭
Yeah I found out about it a week ago 😭
Me too!
the channel has been recently revived, let's catch up 😃
SAME!
Although I had heard of Cabo Verde, I knew nothing about it. Thank you for a fascinating and educational video.
You’re very welcome!
Congratulations! This is a very good and accurate survey. I hope you can make another video with more details, as there is a lot of information you can get about the country's History, Music, Literature and Traditions. Everybody pointed 2 negative notes about the spelling of "cachupa" (which we say "catchupa", in creole) and the picture of a church from The Azores. As a Capeverdian, I can say you did a good work. Thank you!
Very well put together! However, the traditional dish showed around 8:24 is actually called "Katxupa" and not "Capucha".
Montrond, di Djarfogo?
No, I'm from Praia. But my mom is from Fogo :)
I had an amazing time watching your video! Thank you for making it! 😊 I'm from Cabo Verde and I've been following your channel for a couple of years. I'm sure you'll get the name right once you try some katxupa 😁😅 Another interesting thing about our country is, since we don't have many natural resources, there has always been a strong policy towards the development of human resources (it was one of our national hero's Amílcar Cabral's goals) - which partially explains our stable democracy and why you find Capeverdeans in important political positions in our diaspora. Cheers from Praia
A proud capeverdean here. One more subscriber to your channel. Thanks for talking about my beloved country, Cabo Verde!
Thanks!
It's my pleasure, Manuel! And thanks for the tip! :) I appreciate it.
As a Cape Verdean, I like my people , our hospitality and joy, even in hard times, the hot waters during all year, the good food, and good places to visit in the different islands!!
hi Ana, recently I received stamps from Cabo Verde from a Czech friend few days earlier and who was on holiday there few months earlier. I intend to do a educated post on history and philately of Cabo Verde. Do revert soon. My contact details are on my philatelic posts.
The music of Cabo Verde / Cape Verde was worth mentioning in more detail. It is absolutely wonderful and unique, combining the bluesy-ness of Portuguese Fado with African rhythms. Cape Verde's most famous export to the international music scene was the incredible Cesaria Evora, who you can see here performing one of her signature tunes, "Sodade": ruclips.net/video/qx4z9V2hydQ/видео.html
Yeah, I wanted to include more about the music, but copyright issues and a lack of licensable material limited what I could do.
Cesaria gets a lot of love here in Brazil
Yesss
the "bluesy-ness of Portuguese Fado" ?!? you do realize that Cape Verdeans are descendants of the people that created the actual blues itself. That is something that it definitely didnt come from the portuguese. But yeah Cesaria Evora is by far the most famous export.
Our morna is older than portuguese fado, so is more likely to have influenced fado, as told by a portuguese musician
LOVED THIS VIDEO ❤
You just got 2 things wrong. There are 10 main islands, not 9. That's why there are 10 stars on the country's flag, the stars represent the islands.
The name of the traditional plate is Catchupa, not Capucha.
Great work 👏 Thank you for this amazing video!
Thanks. About the islands, I read that there were 9 inhabited islands so I considered those the main ones. But now I know a tenth one is counted.
Thanks for the Vidéo of Cabo Verde and is History.
Good Job,
Always Welcome in Cabo Verde Islands.
Finally a video about our country
Paul, to echo your comment about CV being a transport crossroads, many years ago I visited CV without setting foot there. I was on a South African Airways flight from Johannesburg to Atlanta and they stopped there in the dead of night to refuel - we weren't allowed to disembark. Interestingly, during the Apartheid period SAA used to refuel there on flights to Europe (due north) because most African nations banned them from flying over their airspace (for obvious reasons) thus SAA had to fly 'around' Africa instead of in a straight line. Hopefully I can return some day and actually get off the plane! Thanks for the interesting content.
Been there 3 years ago. Fantastic country with a fantastic happy people...
I'm in the US and the natural resources here are many and varied and are very important to the economy.
I quite enjoyed this video. The only time most people in the US hear about Cabo Verde is during hurricane season since many tropical disturbances form after passing over the islands from mainland Africa.
I'm a cape verdean from rhode Island. Other than the mis pronunciation of our national dish katchupa, u did a great job on this video! Good research!
Just fyi: in Portuguese from Portugal and I'm assuming Cabo Verde, we don't pronounce the E at the end of words. Also, the O at the end of Cabo is pronounced like in the English word "boo". So it would be pronounced [kabu veɾð]
Yeah, but when I looked up the pronunciation of the name, there was an Anglicized pronunciation used by non-Portuguese speakers. So it went from the English translation to an Anglicized pronunciation of the Portuguese name.
@@GEOfocusChannel you are very thorough.
@@GEOfocusChannel
your attention to detail is always pleasant, both here and in LangFocus
@@GEOfocusChannel I am Cape Verdian and you are pronouncing it correct.
You are pronouncing it correct . We say [ Kabu verd ] but It’s normal if you say “ Cabo verde “ like you’re saying
I am a Cape Verdean and found this video today. Good job 👏 brother.
My beautiful land 🇨🇻🇨🇻
I glad to see a video about my country.
Finally you all get to see how beautiful Cabo Verde is ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻
I am a regular viewer of Lang Focus channel. This channel is also awesome!!
Better background screen, score and some animations and transition effects are always welcome!
Thanks!
Do you mean that this background screen is better than the Langfocus one?
I am of capeverdean origin. I like your video which is very factual.
Liked and subscribed before I even looked at the video. Everything you have ever done is outstanding, Paul, and this is also delightful, Right on!
Im Capeverdean and living on Sal island, nice video and good explanation
I am from Cape Verde I love my country we have been through financial difficulties but we work thank you very much God
Cachupa is soo good. Depending on where you go it can be more like a soup or more like a hash. Still delicious either way. I would have loved for you to mention Brava - A Ilha Das Flores (the island of flowers) just to the west of Fogo. It is the smallest but most lush island. There are two micro islands near it that are sea turtle sanctuaries as well. For this reason a turtle is pictured on their coins (escudos). Another awesome thing is their coconut bread- different depending on the island, and how the dialects vary depending on the island with the northern and southern islands bearing distinct similarities within themselves. The islands are grouped in halves called Barlavento and Sotavento though I can't remember which was the northern/southern one or not.
Great video, just a little correction about Pico do Fogo: it's not the highest in Macaronesia since Teide volcano is 3715m. I love Cabo Verde and specially it's music
lnteresting video, on a country one does not usually hear about. l knew about the country insisting on that its name always having to be said in Portuguese, which is ridiculous; similar to lvory Coast always wanting to be called Cote d'lvoire, in all languages. l still remember when Cape Verde became independent, when l was 11 years old.
Thanks Paul for this video. A real gem. Am a Ugandan married to a Cape Verdian and living in Praia. Believe me, this country is unique but the people are amazing. Aside from Capucha which should be Catxupa, the video is awesome!
Hi! Thanks for introducing my country to the world 🌎 love it. I'm from from Fogo Island 🏝 😍.
I really like this channel because it's like if Geography Now kept to simpler, 10-minute videos like they did in the past.
Very well explained, only one correction on the traditional dish: Is "Cachupa" instead of "caputcha".
Great information! Just one correction regarding the staple dish. It’s not capucha but instead cachupa… :)
Really appreciate your work Paul! Keep this videos coming, I and I believe everyone else are loving these. Liked seeing the channel come back. Thanks ❤
Great video,,Cape Verde is an island full of adventures,,, and now the right word is Cabo-verdiano
1st gen American of Cape Verdean parents here 👋.
Truly amazing video you've created.
I think it's safe to say how accurate the video is by the only critique from other Cape Verdeans in the comments is the misspelling of Catchupa 😅
I'll start sending coworkers this video instead of Wiki when I share what my background is 👌
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it (even though I messed up the name of CV’s national dish 😅).
These islands 🏝 are as unique 👌 as you Paul.
Thank you :)
Parabéns pelo vídeo.Muito bom.Excelente trabalho.
I like the videos you make because they are very informative; greetings from Ecuador! 🤚😀🇪🇨
Thanks! I'm glad you like them. :)
Glad to see you doing a video on Cabo Verde.I enjoy your other channel Lungfocus as well. You could do a video about Cabo Verde creole and its sister language papiamentu .
One thing you left out is the reason, we that live in the Atlantic Hurricane basin, know all to well about Cabo Verde....as that is the origin point of the most powerful & destructive of the hurricanes each year.
Yes indeed it is like the Azores for us in Europe, but for us it is the heat waves that comes from the azores
Admiro teu trabalho. Parabéns
Nice video!
The food name is "Catxupa".
i´m from Cabo Verde
A small correction is not 9 islands, it is 10 islands but only 9 that are inhabited, 1 not inhabited (Santa Luzia) because it is a natural reserve in the country. the staple dishe is " catxupa/cachupa, not capucha.
thank you very much for choosing my country among many other options
As a capeverdian i wanna thank u guys for this video💯💯

Hi Paul! Your videos are awesome, just excellent videos.
Let me suggest you to do much more videos from African Continent, the long forgotten continent. I think people are eager to know much more things about these wonderful countries.
There will be more. The next African countries on our list are Madagascar, South Africa, Ghana, DR Congo, and Somalia. But there are other topics in between those, of course.
Another great video Paul. Greetings from Mexico.
Very informative. 😎👍

My beautiful and dear land 🇨🇻Cape Verde. Land of Morabeza. I just want to make a small correction - it's not ⛔"CAPUCHA" but Cachupa in Portuguese and KATXUPA in Creole. Very nice to hear people of other nationalities talk about my motherland. Thank you very much.
Nice explanation about my country, just a correction: is catxupa ( in crioule ) our cachupa ( in portuguese ) !
Very informative video, thanks and love from India

I'm fascinated by Cabo Verdean culture, as it seems kind of an analog to Brazil on the other side of the Atlantic.
Im really love this video.... it’s my country ❤️🇨🇻
8:26 not “Capucha” but “CACHUPA”😄
Yes 😊 I will regret saying “capucha” for the rest of my life 😄
Nice video! We prefer cabo-verdiano ☺️
Just one thing tho 😂 The name of the dish is cachupa (pronounced "catchupa")
Thanks for the video
