My mothers DNA test shows she has a large percentage of ancestry from Cabo Verde. Very thankful as a Black American to have somewhere so nice to go back to/ visit. Thanks for posting.
Jo Richardson this has to be false. There were no inhabitants before the Portuguese settled it and brought Africans there. There is no cape verdian dna
@@hely1108 Yea , and Columbus was an explorer who discovered America ; and Europeans also placed Black people on Australia and New Zealand , lol. Not to mention the Philippines , and other parts of Asia, So the logic is that Black people couldn't make it to Cape Verde but could make it to other continents ; lol keep drinking that white cool aide .
Rising above the daunting conditions facing it at inception, Cape Verde has become a case of relative success today. In December 2004, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 59/209 on Cape Verde´s graduation from the category of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to the category of Middle-Income Country (MICs). This was effective from January 2008. The decision was based on the three main criteria for performance evaluation: (i) progress recorded in per capita income, (ii) human capital formation, and (iii) reducing the economic vulnerability index. However, the country’s graduation from the LDCs list was based on the two first criteria, with the General Assembly recognizing the country’s structural vulnerability. While it is difficult to benchmark Cape Verde with other countries because of its unique attributes, its experience still offers lessons on several issues for developing countries across the world at a generic level, and in particular for countries in Africa. As a very small island economy in the Atlantic Ocean situated in the Sahelian belt off the coast of Senegal in Western Africa, Cape Verde has managed to defy the odds and transform itself from an extremely poor country into one of the better performing economies in Africa in just over two decades. Cape Verde has transformed itself from one of the poorest countries in the world to one of the fastest growing economies in Africa. In that time, it has managed to transform itself from least developed country status into a lower middle income country. During this period it has also consistently improved its human development indicators. Cape Verde has benefited from sustained and stable growth over 35 years, leading to the increasing well-being of its population. Its 6% average annual GDP growth during 1991-2010 far exceeded the continental average. Despite a scattered population spread over nine inhabited islands, a very small economic size, an extremely low endowment in natural resources, a high vulnerability to exogenous shocks, and remoteness from world markets, it has managed to raise its GDP per capita over three decades by more than tenfold from $175 to $4188 (PPP, USD) in 2010. As a result of its sound economic and social performance in recent years, Cape Verde has gained the status of a Middle-Income Country (MIC). In doing so, it has overcome severe geographic, economic, and social challenges to become an African success story. In spite of its difficult beginnings, Cape Verde now ranks fifth in terms of the UNDP Human Development index (HDI) in Sub-Saharan Africa. It has been labeled a “fast achiever” of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in which it is outperforming much of the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. Universal access to primary and secondary schools has been achieved, a strong social safety net has been set up, and the benefits of growth have been distributed through an inclusive approach to policy making and nation-building. These achievements were made possible by prudent macroeconomic management, including fiscal soundness and maintenance of a competitive exchange rate. Cape Verde has gained international credibility for its macroeconomic policies: a stable currency pegged to the euro, good governance with low corruption rates, a simplified tax system, and a reformed banking sector. Cape Verde is regarded as a safe haven for investment. These achievements were also made possible by an earnest and sustained focus on building strong institutions free of corruption. From independence onwards, successive governments have fostered pluralism and a universal sense of citizenship, a participatory political process and trust between the government and citizenry. The peaceful multi-party democracy has survived changes in leadership. Cape Verde’s government is widely regarded as one of the most stable and democratic in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is a society based on laws that also respects human rights and civil liberties, including a free press. Successive Cape Verdean governments of have also been conscientious about adapting their policies and institutions to changes in the global economy, and to maintaining strong strategic partnerships with a variety of countries and institutions. The country has benefitted from steady remittance inflows from the Diaspora, and generous external assistance, but since the mid-1990s it has also become a destination for foreign direct investment, mainly in tourism. Together, these inflows have enabled modernization and diversification towards a services oriented economy.
Wen you travel to Cabo Verde, please do not stay in one Island, take advantage of your destination and explore additional islands. For inter-island travels contact a travel agent who can design a route/tour based on the flights, time of your stay and budget. This should be done before you book your international flight to CV.
Loff Fonseca, Lisbon. Superb video of my home country, its problems and its people. I was born in Mindelo, S.Vicente, in 1939 (the very starting of WW2 in EUROPE). Many thanks.
Indeed, Cape Verde is a dry place most of the year. I invite you to come again during rainy season between August-November to see the real beauty of Cape Verde. That's when we realize that water is LIFE! Also, omitting 3 beautiful islands (Maio, Fogo and Brava) did no good. Going to Cape Verde without visiting these 3 islands is NOT THE SAME! They put Cape Verde on the map in every aspect. So, I don't consider this a good travel guide since you did not provide the most beautiful points of reference.
princessa._ i was there 2 weeks ago... it is pretty safe! Our appartements were 24/7 secured by Security guards! And i never feel scared while walking the streets! Even not when i walked across town at 2 am! The people are very polite! Groceries are quite expensive especially when you buy like.. lays chips and Heineken beer! The best thing to do is to buy local product! But be careful, the vendors will ask ridiculous prices! So as a tip: keep like 5 euro's in a separate pocket and say to the vendor you've only got 5 euro's, they will mostly accept it!
The ignorance and bias of this narration is shameful. I encourage viewers to research the history of Cape Verde and find narratives and information which centre the dignity, resilience, creativity, and kindness of this great people.
Wow, I’ve learned so much from this video that I wasn’t aware, I’m Cape Verdean born in Mozambique n been there last year in 40 something years, now I’m planning buying property there to be thankful where we from.
@yvesVincent This is very dismissive of a very well researched, professionally film and informations pack video, dealing with history, geography, art, culture, economy. etc.
It would be nice if you talked more about people and the country post-colonialism, than glamorizing the lost "portuguese empire" trope. While, yes, being a portuguese colony is part of us and our history, is not at all what defines us. You failed to mention for example the people that actually contributed to the development of the country. Amilcar Cabral, Aristides Pereira, Cesaria Evora, OS Tubaroes, The FOOD, and the Music, and even the technological/Educational advances we've been having as a whole. Yet you mentioned all of the ruins and the buildings left by the portuguese and glamorized slavery. We are not at all dull or grey, we are loud, festive, welcoming, colourful in our own way and extremely hard-working people. Where while tourism is very prominent, is not our only source of life. and our island is far more than just a trip down memory lane of a failed, dry colony.

I went, it was FAB, but travellers beware !!! Most long-haul flights land on Sal, which is too terrible fo words. Internal flights are not cheap, but well worth it to get away from that ghastly place. A few long-hauls do land in Praia, so try to route-yourself on a Praia flight instead. All other CV islands are infinately better.
RAM NARAYAN RAM Chant this Mahamantra irrespective of your religion-nationality-caste and colour. This mantra is not originated from a particular religion(so-called). It is a concentrated form of the universal tune. Neither this RAM represents the Ram of the Ramayana, nor this NARAYAN represents the Narayanan of Satya Yuga. This RAM is the echo of the endless void and this NARAYAN is the echo of the visible world. The human race has advanced a lot in terms of agriculture, science, technology, medicine, astronomy etc. But when it comes to humanity, then we see that the trend line has almost touched the bottom limit. Our true self has been covered with our bad deeds and ill thoughts. Because we have gone far from the tune of our conscience and nature. We are drowned in the dark ocean of ignorance. We have to lit the fire of knowledge up. For that we have to generate heat. Sound energy can be transferred to heat energy. By repetitive chanting of the Mantra heat is generated. That will wipe out that darkness of ignorance from within. We are nurturing our body with food but we are not nurturing our consciousness. To nurture our consciousness we have to feed it with Dhwani(sound). That is RAM NARAYAN RAM. At the time of chanting you have to put Omkar - RAM(O) NARAYAN(O) RAM. What ever you do, where ever you are, what ever your belief may be, which ever deity you worship, that doesn't matter. Just go chanting this MAHANAM (great name). That will help your conscience to abloom and guide you perspicuously. When you will follow the directives of your conscience, then you will commit no sinful act. If each and everyone becomes conscientious then there will be no need of any spiritual leader or preceptor to preach what to do and what not. Then the tune of the whole human race will be at par with that of nature. Then the world will become the heaven itself. 🌼🌹🌷🔱RAM NARAYAN RAM🔱🌷🌹🌼

Visiting Cape Verde in two weeks. This is my second visit. Excited to visit this peaceful country once again.

A breathtaking portrayal and pleasing presentation. Thanks .
This is definitely a dream destination. Hopefully in a year or two.

In Portuguese we say "Serra" not "Sierra" (min 23:24), Sierra is Spanish :-)
Serratus in Latin. Meaning serrated.

Also kept saying "igreja" wrong.

They are not even a Cape or Cabo. The Cape is part of Senegal and the Islands are west of the Cape.
