Kultur der Kap Verden, Music

Die Kultur der Kap Verden ist afrikanischen und europäischen Ursprungs. Es gibt verschiedene Musikrichtungen, von denen Morna die bekannteste ist. Cesária Évora ist die wohl berühmteste kapverdische Sängerin. Auch die in Kuba von kapverdischen Eltern geborene Mayra Andrade (* 1985) erlangte internationale Bekanntheit.

It is said that batuko, the traditional dance at the rhythm of African drums, was the first style of music played by the slaves, and its rhythm had an impact in the body of the dancers. The string instruments were introduced by the Europeans, and a new type of music began to be composed and played, the "morna", a much slower rhythm with lyrics that are mainly about love and longing. The latin influence in the music is showed in the use of wind instruments. Among the traditional and the new instruments that are combined in the natural evolution of the music of the modern times, are the conch shells and the flute used as wind instruments, the iron bar, the drums, guitars and many other acoustic instruments.
