Article Index Homepage Highlight Message Board PortGen Chat ... Subscribe to IR News Cape Verde: It's People, Geography, and Culture By Melody Lassalle The Cape Verde Islands are officially known as Republica de Cabo Verde. The capital is Praia. The islands llie in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Senegal. Cape Verde consists of two island groups, the Barlavento and the Sotavento. The Barlavento group consists of Santo Antao, Sao Vicente, Santa Luzia, Sal, Boa Vista, and Sao Nicolau. The Sotavento group consists of Sao Tiago, Maio, Fogo, and Brava. The terrain is mostly mountainous. The earliest habitants of Cape Verde were the Portuguese people who came in 1462. Soon after, West African slaves were brought to the islands. Slavery was abolished here in 1876. A penal colony was set up in the islands in the 1500s. Many of the convicts stayed once they completed their sentence. Portugal also sent "undesirables" such as political adversaries, criminals, etc., to the islands. The population was estimated at 412,137 in 2003. The people of Cape Verde are referred to as Caboverdeans (aka Caboverdeanos and Cape Verdeans). They consist of 3 groups: Creole 71% (a mixture of African and European ancestry), African 28%, and European 1%. Caboverdeans are primarily Roman Catholic with some mingling with African religions. The literacy rate in the islands is one of the highest throughout Africa at 71.6% (1995).

Related Vacation Book Subjects: VacationBookReview canada caribbean More Pages: cape verde Page 1 Books to read if you're planning a vacation in "cape verde" , sorted by average review score: Cape Verde Islands: The Bradt Travel Guide Published in Paperback by Bradt Travel Guides (December, 2001) Authors: Aisling Irwin and Colum Wilson Average review score: An essential for the cruising bookshelf I first visited the Cape Verdes in 1987 while researching the ATLANTIC ISLANDS, a sailing guide covering the Azores, Madeira group, Canaries and Cape Verdes, now in its third edition. Getting information on the Cape Verdes in the English language was difficult in the extreme if only Aisling and Colum's excellent book had been available then! These days no sane person should visit the islands without reading it first. The Cape Verdes come as something of a culture shock after the Canaries this book will explain why, and help you get the most from the experience. Buy it! Perfect blend of insight and practical help This was just the sort of thing a hardened backpacker needed. It had all the useful nooks and crannies of info you need - plus the fact that it filled in a lot of the extra info you like to get about a place you're seeing. They gave a great account of the islands' history - it was really moving.

74. The Power Of Culture - Cimboa musical tradition of the cimboa, a musical instrument from cape verde, and help nonprofitcultural association working in the area of culture and development http://kvc.minbuza.nl/uk/specials/cimboa/

PangeiArt , a transnational non-profit cultural association working in the area of culture and development mainly in the ACP countries, and the Pentagrama music school at Praia. Other partner organisations in Praia, Mindelo and Rotterdam may also participate. The Cimboa is a very special instrument because in Cape Verde there is nothing like it. It is a bowed instrument that probably comes from the mussulmane part of the continent and it's sound and music resemble partly to an arabic or middle-eastern sound. It is made from the branch of tree that constitutes the arm. At one end of the arm there is a calabash covered with goat skin that works as the sound box. A single string made of horse hair joins the top end of the arm and the calabash at the bottom, passing through a bridge that sits on the goat skin of the calabash. Fingers press the string without contact to the arm while a bow with a similar string produces sound by friction in the same way as a violin is played. CAPE VERDIAN INSTRUMENTS - Musical instruments are an integral part of the cultural manifestations of the life of Cape Verdian communities. They play an important role in family and social celebrations. In the popular festivals held in each island, in tribute to the patron saints, drums beat to exhaustion and string instruments are widely used, such as the guitar, the viola, the cavaquinho and the violin. Drums and other percussion instruments are also quite popular.
