Cape Verde
Many of us first heard about Cape Verde through the exquisite voice of Cesaria Evora. Over the past few years, some of the favorite songs on putumayo collections have come from talented Cape Verdean artists. Not only are they starkly beautiful islands, but they are home to one of the world's greatest musical treasure troves.
Brazilian and Cape Verdean music share a common Portuguese heritage. And since these rocky isolated islands are located 300 miles off the coast of Senegal in West Africa, the African influence is also very strong. Cape Verde offers a musical bounty similar in feel to the Brasileiro collection, but with something mysterious and evocative that can only be traced to the romance of these remote and exotic islands.
