I'm Cape Verdean and I must say, great job! There are some little mistakes but, in general, you nailed it! For instance, Cape Verde does not have only 3 volcanoes. The islands are of volcanic origin, therefore, almost every mountain is a volcano. Extinct ones but still volcanoes. Those figures in "ethnicity" were data used by the Portuguese in the colonial period. They are not accurate and since the independence there hasn't been any statistics about races. I mean, come on! In a country like Cape Verde how can you know exactly if a person is black, white or mestiço? The Guinea-Bissau Creole is indeed similar to Cape Verdean Creole (kinda Portuguese and Spanish are similiar). The culture... mmm... no that much. But Cape Verde was in fact the principal country to help Guinea-Bissau in the political turmoil in the 90's. Once again, congrats!

Hey, so I absolutely love this vid & it's undoubtedly my favorite vid about CV. But being Cape Verdean myself, I think i'm obligated to inform you that it's probably not best you refer to the country or its inhabitants as "Halfrican". I totally get what you're getting at & that you mean nothing malicious whatsoever. It's just that Cape verde is part of Africa so for that reason alone, its inhabitants should be referred to as African. Yes, we're a mixed race nation & I love & am proud to be a Cape Verdean but as you mentioned, most of us borrow alot of cultural traditions from portugal. What's little known is that unfortunately, many cape verdeans try ignoring their African heritage all together & in fact, will often say that they are just Portuguese. This form of self hate or denial, rather, is only reinforced by false terms like Halfrican. Hope you understand. Thanks again for the informative & powerful vid! Keep em coming, please!

[@privatemorgan86]

Facts, alot of Cape verdeans ignore being black all together.

[@samyrandome425]

Yeah i didn't like that either and I'm not even Cape Verdean

[@samyrandome425]

And imagine being North African, your home and your whole culture since the dawn of time has been on the African continent but poeple (your own poeple, foreigners, or other Africans) will never consider it as such simply because you're not "black". As if Africa was supposed to be this homogeneous blob limited in its diversity as opposed to the oh so great Eurasia.

Loved your precise info as you are so true with what you saying as I am Capeverdean too that I was born in Portugal. But I am totally Afican . Not Halfrican! Btw great video

In France, the most famous Capeverdian national was the singer Cesaria Evora. She was probably the biggest name in what France usually calls "musique du monde", which is a metagenre regrouping pretty much every "exotic" music that is seldom if ever performed by actual French people.

[@NegSteLucie]

MinorCirrus By actual French people do you mean White people?

[@MinorCirrus]

I mean French people. "Musique du monde" encompasses what is rarely performed by any prominent French musical celebrity, whatever their ethnicity. Stop trying to make everything about skin colour.

Luís Almeida, well a little bit of research will let you know that Cape Verde is actually named after a peninsula in Senegal called Cap-Vert, and the Cape Verdean islands are right off that peninsula ( also referred to as a *cape* ), so the Portuguese settlers put a little spin on the name of the peninsula and named the islands Cape Verde, or Cabo Verde.

Visiting Cape Verde in two weeks. This is my first visit. So excited!

[@shootgunMarvel]

A guy in Cape Verde, when i was visiting the country, said me 'Welcome Home' 😳 as a portuguese i suspect there's not many portuguese ex colonies i can hear that.. thanks! love the country - yeah a guy at a bar, at night, try to make me pay for the Vasco da Gama mistakes 😂😂 but the guys over there deal with it.. was fun 😂😂

Just a little pedantic note (Sorry! Great video, btw): The variance in topography between the eastern and western halves of the archipelago is more attributable to geology, and not the Harmattan winds blowing off the Sahel and Sahara regions. The islands are volcanic, and they sprout out of a hotspot, then are pushed eastwards. This makes the islands in the eastern half significantly older, and therefore more weathered/eroded down. (Consider the case of the Appalachians, ancient mountains which are relatively modest in size now but used to be towering Himalaya-esque landforms millions of years ago.) This is why Sal, Boavista, and Maio are relatively flat, and the youngest islands, like Santo Antão and Brava, are very mountainous (and correspondingly greener). Certainly the eastward march of the islands into the face of the Harmattan winds is a small factor in this (the islands are 400km of the coast of the continent, so a, say, 15km distance between one island and another is not enough for wind to be the determining factor in topography differences), but geology is the prime mover in this positive feedback loop of dimunition.

Outstanding job presenting my dear Archipelago! Thank you!

[@InfaRedWorld]

This was pretty accurate.. I'm Cape Verdean and you hit all major points on the head.. Thanks for sharing.. Now I can share this with people when they ask me what I am, then ask what's that??!!! Lol

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="85">1:25</a> That archipelago is called Madeira not "Mandeira"

Hi Barby! As a cap verdean living in Luxembourg I'm still waiting on you to make a video on Luxembourg :p

[@triumphanttreebark3091]

It's alphabetical

[@vtonyvicente102]

Hi Christina! I'm Cape Verdean born & raised in Boston MA! I was curious how dense the population of cape verdeans are in Luxembourg & whether there is a scene out there that caters to the culture (I.e restaurants, shops, lounges etc.) Hope to hear back from you soon!

[@osirisr.4250]

You dont have in one side Africans and in the other side Creoles. This is a non sense. Both are Africans . By the way, you seem to know more about Africans than themselves. Please give us your definition of what is African

[@louleloup2607]

Come on, when he says "african", he means: with little to no European blood, and when he says "creole", he means: with a fair share of European blood! That's ethnicity, not culture or nationality!

David K. Africa is a continent not a race. When most people say aftican they mean subsaharan West African negroid.
