  1. 4th Generation Cape Verdean🇨🇻 from Boston here✊🏽. Amilcar Cabral is my Great Uncle (Bless His Soul). Thank you, Good Brotha, for presenting this succinct overview of our people and honoring my Ancestor. Just an added (and important) detail: the link between Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde is also believed to be the Mandinka and Fulani tribal people, who represent the majority of the African roots in Cape Verde. Again, I appreciate your work here @hometeamhistory806 👊🏾 1L

  2. My interest in Portuguese and Cape Verdean music, culture and history started when Madonna lived in Lisbon in 2019 and she featured their music, dance and culture in her Madame X album/world tour by collaborating with local artists. One of my favorite song/dance/history she honored and appreciated was in her number Batuka where she showcased the generational all-women Batukaderas ensemble from Cape Verde. Greetings from Los Angeles, California.

  3. 1:09 "Little is known about the original inhabitants of Cape Verde". How you dare state such an ignorant information? This is totally wrong. It is the opposite. All is known about the original inhabitants of Cape Verde. What scholars are you talking about? The island had no people, just like Madeira and Azores islands. I just don't like when people engage in disinformation.

  4. Very good video. One of the best I have seen online. Thank you for putting it together, however, a few misleading information here about Cabo Verde.

    Please look up the work of Cheikh Anta Diop, the empire of Mali and its' territory and mainly the expedition that lead to the real discovery of Cabo Verde.

    When Cabo Verde was so called "discovered" by Portuguese in 1461, the archipelago was already inhabited by Moors and Fishermen from the empire of Mali. Look into the first European neighborhood built in Ribeira Grande and the purpose of the European representatives. Prior to Slavery in the 1600, Europeans (French, Dutch, Portuguese, English and Italians, used Cabo Verde as a port of trade and resupply for their ships enroute to India. There was no such thing as Slavery at that time. Slavery started in the 1600s over 150 after European interactions with the natives.

    Keep in mind that the European version of African history was crafted to satisfy ship expeditions, share holders and investors at the time, so the story had to be appealing to solicit more funding. Also, with the genocide of natives came the systematic whitening of Cape Verdean history to subdue its population. Learn about the Mandiaku, Badius and the origins of the language called "Criolu" to understand the extend of where we came from.

    Nu sta juntu ku pe na txong di nos storia.

  5. Cape verde has a history most people don't know about or are in denial of. Cape Verde was uninhabited. Columbus and other spanish and Portuguese stole American Indians away and left them on cape verde. 100 years later the first person stolen from africa and taken to America came from Cape Verde and was taken to America. The irony in this event is the fact that the people who were being stolen from Cape Verde were the descendants of the american indians that were brought there a 100 years earlier.

    This is documented and the slave trader who stole these cape Verdeans away stated that these negros were different that the other. They had long hair, their food and culture was different, they had Americans names, and fought the with bow and arrows and were always at war with the wolofs(senegal people). So although John Hawkins wasn't aware of the history of these people he noted that they were very different from mainland Africans.

    This is important because they teach us that some black people in america were taken from africa. They tell us they came from mainland africa but most of those stories aren't documented and are conjecture. We know for a fact and have the records of who was taken from cape verde. Likewise we have records of Americans Indians being brough there when it was uninhabited.

    Please do not dispute history you have not studied.
