A journey through the archipelago of Cape Verde’s history, culture, landscape and music.
This bridge between Africa and America was a popular destination during transoceanic travels since the epoch of Columbus. Cape Verde is a very good example of Creole society, it is the result of cohabitation between European colonialists and African slaves.
From fishing with one’s bare hands to vineyards planted among the lapillus of the volcano, to the “ciabeta” (a dance once forbidden by Portuguese colonialists because it was considered obscene).
