Cabo Verde - THIS country is part of West Africa??? (Cape Verde)

/ @geofocuschannel
Cabo Verde used to be known by its English name Cape Verde, but the country's country wants us all to use the country's Portuguese name. Portuguese is the official language of this island nation off the coast of West Africa. It is a former Portuguese colony, and its population largely descends from both Portuguese settlers and West Africans brought there from the mainland. Before their arrival, the scattered islands of Cabo Verde were uninhabited.
The culture of Cabo Verde is a fusion of Portuguese and African cultures, and the language they use in daily life is Cape Verdean Creole, which got most of its vocabulary from Portuguese, but is not Portuguese.

Cabo Verde has an incredible culture and its peoples are absolutely amazing. As a Portuguese, I really feel that relations between Portugal and Cabo Verde flow both ways.

Just fyi: in Portuguese from Portugal and I'm assuming Cabo Verde, we don't pronounce the E at the end of words. Also, the O at the end of Cabo is pronounced like in the English word "boo". So it would be pronounced [kabu veɾð]

[@GEOfocusChannel]

Yeah, but when I looked up the pronunciation of the name, there was an Anglicized pronunciation used by non-Portuguese speakers. So it went from the English translation to an Anglicized pronunciation of the Portuguese name.

Portuguese language has some words of African origin too. *The name Cabo Verde* , comes from a coastal location in Senegal that had the same name, hence the idea of the Portuguese to put the islands of the same name, for lack of idea (creativity), or perhaps to facilitate the description. An fix, 8:22 Is *cachupa* , capucha doesn't exist; well cabo verdian say catchupa/katxupa I think you studied well, in the aforementioned whaling season when American fishermen recruited Cabo Verdeans to go fishing. Most who live in the US, Boston, Massachusetts, from isnland of Fogo, Maio and Brava origin. *I'll just enrich your video with an extra* Cabo Verdeans went with the Portuguese on adventures in Asia (India) as well, where more than half of the crew was Cabo Verdean. in numbers of area vs people, Cabo Verde is the most misegenated country in the world, and the northern islands have greater mixtures of Africans and Europeans than the southern ones. However, it does not have a natural wealth seek that improves the population's standard of living, which means young people luck in Europe and the USA, many stay there forever other return at retirement age. Dakar, Senegal, was the main destination to seek to improve conditions, outside Portugal, USA and Holland, this is the closest option for many Cabo Verdeans in the 50's to 80's. Cabo Verde, São Vicente, in my opinion, after brazil, it has the Best Carnival In The World, imagine if it had more money, things would go to another level; Cabo Verde, country of talent in theatre, music (morna, zouk, kizomba ), sport, mostly football, most famous is Carlos Alhinho, Jorge Andrade, Luis Nani, Miguel, now Nelson Semedo, Ricardo Perreira, Renato Sanches, Gelson Martins all for Portugal national team, Erik Larsen for Sweden national team (father is Cabo Verdean), Patrick Vieira (mother is Cabo Verdean). Vieira born in Senegal and represent France national team. all this one is are children of emigrants, born in europe, except Vieira. basketball Carlo Lisboa is the G.O.A.T of portuguese baskeball and now have Edy Tavares (Real Madrid), but this one play for Cabo Verde *Cabo Verde is top 3 in the world in kitesurfing* *Cristiano Ronaldo's great-grandmother is from Cabo Verde, sh'e went to Madeira island looking for the better life* 🙂 *Nice video, congrats Paul and Thanks*

The music of Cabo Verde / Cape Verde was worth mentioning in more detail. It is absolutely wonderful and unique, combining the bluesy-ness of Portuguese Fado with African rhythms. Cape Verde's most famous export to the international music scene was the incredible Cesaria Evora, who you can see here performing one of her signature tunes, "Sodade": kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6mXq2yMZ82smrM

[@GEOfocusChannel]

[@underdograby2088]

the "bluesy-ness of Portuguese Fado" ?!? you do realize that Cape Verdeans are descendants of the people that created the actual blues itself. That is something that it definitely didnt come from the portuguese. But yeah Cesaria Evora is by far the most famous export.

[@eliseubarros]

Our morna is older than portuguese fado, so is more likely to have influenced fado, as told by a portuguese musician

Paul, to echo your comment about CV being a transport crossroads, many years ago I visited CV without setting foot there. I was on a South African Airways flight from Johannesburg to Atlanta and they stopped there in the dead of night to refuel - we weren't allowed to disembark. Interestingly, during the Apartheid period SAA used to refuel there on flights to Europe (due north) because most African nations banned them from flying over their airspace (for obvious reasons) thus SAA had to fly 'around' Africa instead of in a straight line. Hopefully I can return some day and actually get off the plane! Thanks for the interesting content.

If you want to translante a name of a country why you only translate half??? Cabo (cape) verde (green) in English green cape In portuguese culture its wrong to translate country names , it is a signal of lack of respect to that country

Great information! Just one correction regarding the staple dish. It’s not capucha but instead cachupa… :)

[@mariamonteiro5490]

Obrigada por interessar pelo meu País. O prato chama se Cachupa :)

I does look like an interesting place to visit. And beaches. I love beaches :)

Great video, just a little correction about Pico do Fogo: it's not the highest in Macaronesia since Teide volcano is 3715m. I love Cabo Verde and specially it's music

[@vanderleiasantos1993]

The dish is "Cachupa" not "Capucha" 😉 . I`m from Cabo Verde 🇨🇻
