I just descovered music of Cape Verde on a compilation CD. It's like the best of all the Latin styles mixed with East Coast African music, subtle and sensuous and simply beautiful. Thanks for posting.
The music of Cape Verde is one of the treasures of the planet. Its various rhythms are endlessly synocapated, recreated, reinterpreted, and reinvigorated by singer after singer and musician after musician. I dream of visiting one day. I am American, of Irish Portuguese descent and speak Portuguese fluently. I will go one day. It wil be a dream realized. In the meanwhile, where is it possible to find any good Cabo Vaerdeano grupos in the States? I'm there.
Let us never leave our country For so long a time Let us visit it often We’re going far away To seek a better life But living, that’s in our country. This land of fishermen and peasants Corn in the mortar, morna on the lips Sandals on the foot, the donkey carrying its firewood Three stones to support the pot. Although our country is poor We console ourselves Another’s joy doesn't deceive me We have none and we understood it Our kindness hides our poverty. -- tr. gabrielamendes c om

Nunca nô dixa nôs terra tcheu Nô espial sempre Nô ta sai pa longe Bá busca vida Ma vivência ê na nôs terra Ês terra di piscador e lavrador Di midje na pilon morna na boca Sambarque na pê, bumburom cu djangata Três fentchentche pa guentá um planqueta Se nôs terra ê pobre, nõs ê consolado Sabura di ote ca ta iludim Nôs ca tem djá nô entendel Nôs morabeza ca dixá parcê nôs pobreza
Peter Czukor Thank you so much! I spent years-a very long time ago-trying to track down these lyrics and understand her. I know Portuguese, but not Cape Verdean Creole. Just now, I found a video with both the original lyrics and their translation into English, written on the video.

zaijose please tell me we where you got your sources from beacause I can asure you Cape Verde was uninhabited before the Portuguese arrived, yes some were raped, but some were consensual. Cape Verde cannot substain life there are too many droughts, which also should lead to the conclusion using logic, Cape Verde was uninhabited if it can't support life, this why the majority of the island's food is from imports. I know my facts and I'm Cape Verdean.
617212305312213 Your point being? There are many uninhabited islands in the West, does that mean anyone can land there and take it over? If you know your history you would know Cape Verde was a major Slave Port for the Portuguese empire which stretched from Asia, via Africa to the Americas and Europe.
I am from Cape Verde and I am living now in New Orleans, Louisiana.

I listen to this song so much. For years! It's my happy song!
i love the music of Cape Verde and have for over a dozen years.
Que linda composição musical!!!! Saudades imensas do meu País Cabo-Verde.
Let us never leave our country
For so long a time
Let us visit it often
We’re going far away
To seek a better life
But living, that’s in our country.
This land of fishermen and peasants
Corn in the mortar, morna on the lips
Sandals on the foot, the donkey carrying its firewood
Three stones to support the pot.
Although our country is poor
We console ourselves
Another’s joy doesn't deceive me
We have none and we understood it
Our kindness hides our poverty.

Me gusta cada vez más la música caboverdiana, me parece una mezcla de ritmos que no dejan a nadie indiferente. Tenemos sucesora de Cesárea Evora

Great Job! It captures the real spirit of Cabo Verde. Mi kribu muitu tcheu, Nha Kretcheu.

Nunca nô dixa nôs terra tcheu
Nô espial sempre
Nô ta sai pa longe
Bá busca vida
Ma vivência ê na nôs terra
Ês terra di piscador e lavrador
Di midje na pilon morna na boca
Sambarque na pê, bumburom cu djangata
Três fentchentche pa guentá um planqueta
Se nôs terra ê pobre, nõs ê consolado
Sabura di ote ca ta iludim
Nôs ca tem djá nô entendel
Nôs morabeza ca dixá parcê nôs pobreza

@LoneCuetlachtli The "dominican look" is merely the look of mixed people of African and European descent. The look does not belong to any nationality.

Still better country than finland
May someone translate this song for me please? I would appreciate it! :)
