Sun Bailante

Let’s visit Cap Verde! This beautiful archipelago located off the west coast of Africa has a Brazilian feel to it but is more mysterious and could surprise more than one.

Music there is a national skill, and since the eighties its reputation as cradle for talented musicians spreading to the world.

Cesaria Evora was the first artist to become renowned internationally, since then many have followed, amongst them Sarah Tavares, Maria Andrade and Susanna Lubrano.

Today, we would like to celebrate singers and bands from this island who are less famous but still have created some amazing songs Os Tubaroes and Terezinha Araujo.

The video above is from Os Tubaroes and the song’s name is Ask Xanana. The style of music is Coladeira.

Below you will find a lovely balade from Terezinha Araujo called N’na nega bedjo. Enjoy!
