Cape Verde -- the small cluster of islands once a Portuguese colony from 1462 until its independence in 1975 -- sits 986km west of the Senegalese coast, and is home to just under 500,000 people. With an ethnic make up of approximately 71% Creole (Portuguese-African genetic mix), African 28% and European 1%, Cape Verde has a unique cultural identity, as an island. Ive been listening to a lot of Funana music lately and not only do I love the sound but more-so the way Cape Verdeans dance to it, is amazing (I love how each African nation has their own dance style, although many of the rhythms are the same). Id love to visit the Cape Verde islands.... https://youtube/watch?v=4Pn6JIfS2iA
