CAP VERT : Un voyage entre îles sauvages, volcans et culture métissée | Documentaire – AMP

In the northwest of Africa,
near Senegal, lies the fabulous archipelago of Cape Verde. It impresses with the beauty of its
landscapes, its environment and the richness of its culture. São Vicente, Santo Antao, Boavista, Salle and Santiago. An off-the-beaten-track journey across five
of its 11 islands, discovering the wonders of Cape Verde. In the northwest of the archipelago, the island of São Vicente, along with Mindelo, has
one of the most beautiful bays in the world. The cove has been known to sailors since
the 17th century, but it was in the middle of the 19th century that Mindello was
born and developed. Arriving by sea,
the gaze falls on the miniature replica of the Bellême Tower
located in Lisbon. This little sister, built in 1920,
evokes Cape Verde’s Portuguese past. The city itself takes its name
from the Portuguese municipality of Mindello. Right next door, fishermen land the
day’s catch on the main pontoon. Fish-rich waters represent
three- quarters of the country’s exports. More than 45,000 tonnes leave
the funds each year. Tuna, red snapper, marlin,
lobster and crayfish are used to adorn European,
American and Chinese tables. On the city’s main street,
Lisbon Street, the municipal market is a place not to be missed. In this colonial building from the end
of the 19th century, you will find many local products. Handcrafted products made from woven straw sit alongside grandmother’s remedies. And African fruits and vegetables,
such as papaya, sweet potato or yam. Michael is the chef of one
of the best restaurants in town. Good morning. This is where he buys the products that
make up the national dish, cachupa. A kind of stew whose
basic ingredients are corn and dried beans. Cape Verdeans love it so much
that they even serve it for breakfast. The secret to a good cachupa is, above
all, to cook the corn and beans thoroughly in boiling water with
pork fat for several hours. You also need to brown
a mixture of meat and fish in a pan. Combine everything and mix
without burning. Then pour a few spoonfuls
of tomato sauce, without forgetting to add cabbage,
carrots and chives. This is a recipe I got from my mother. I am very proud to share this
traditional Cape Verdean dish with my customers. It is our culinary heritage. It is important to preserve it. In
the restaurant, a musician sings about
the sweetness of local life, which everyone here sums up in one word: morabeza. Morabeza, alteration, Mindello is the cultural capital. Dukat was born here and
chose to stay and live here. He has made it his mission to preserve
the soul of the Where, the Kondélo. Music is the main form
of cultural expression on our island. In one of the few old
colonial buildings that survived the expansion of the city center,
he created a music school for children from working-class neighborhoods. A teaching that goes far
beyond reading scores. For me, it is very important
to pass on our culture to our children so that it does not disappear. It is truly a very
moving experience to succeed in transmitting these values ​​through teaching. The traditional music of Sauvicente
is the colladera, a festive rhythm born in the 20th century. At sunset, Dukat has an appointment
to play a colladera in the open air. He plans to revisit Tchalket,
a hit from the 80s. He is accompanied by Louis, a virtuoso of the cavaquino, a traditional instrument. This small guitar,
imported in the 19th century by the Portuguese, has become the
emblematic instrument of Cape Verde. If cavaquino holds no secrets
for Louis, it’s surely because he spends his days making it. He is in fact the best luthier in
town: guitar and violin or cavaquino. In his workshop, with his three employees,
a family story is told. This passion was born
in my father’s workshop. It was he, Master Baptista, who
taught me how to make these instruments. He was very demanding of me,
but it was for my own good and I really
enjoyed learning from him. Louis’s father had himself inherited from
his father a Spanish wrestler from Valencia. A family know-how from master
to disciple which, in more than a century, has traveled from Spain to Cape Verde. It is a real source of pride for me that we
have been wrestlers and musicians for three generations. Thanks to Portuguese migrants and explorers
, Cavaquino traveled around the world. Over time, this instrument has become
the emblem of the mixed race of the Cape Verde Islands. I make instruments with my soul. I feel less like a wrestler,
but more like a creator of works. Even though I make things
that already exist, what I prefer is to invent instruments
that don’t exist. I like creating new things,
having new ideas. From its creation to the present day, music has always accompanied the history of the country. On the sidewalks of the
city’s main artery, like Hollywood stars,
the footprints of the biggest local music stars follow one another. Like Bélezat,
Cape Verde’s most famous poet and composer and uncle of world star, Césaria Évora. You have to go to the Omluis square
to see a very original work. On the walls of the
municipal library, the Portuguese artist Wils created an incredible
portrait of the singer with a burin. The technique of this street artist
is surprising and committed. Instead of adding layers of paint
to the walls, he peels it back to reveal it. A meticulous creative destruction, which
has become a must-see in the city. In Mindello, the whole city is
imbued with the soul of the singer. At the Palais des Peuples,
a permanent exhibition retraces the fabulous destiny of the woman
nicknamed the Barefoot Diva. Many of these stage outfits
are displayed as trophies. Here is the dress she wore
during a concert in Moscow. Here, a garment that had
its moment of glory in Paris. As a true cultural ambassador
of her country, her nostalgic voice has conquered the entire world. Even a Siberian billionaire who had
brought him for a private concert, the only recording of which is
carefully preserved in a museum display case. On the walls, the diva’s personal photos retrace the years
of her tours around the world. Photographs also illustrate this
state funeral following his death in 2011. On
the upper floor of the Palais des Peuples, the influences of the African continent are
told through a collection of war masks. These adornments,
intended to frighten the enemy, come from ethnic groups who lived
in Ivory Coast and Liberia. Local crafts are also on display
in several rooms. Here are some ancient
Ogon harps from Mali. You can also admire
the works of local painters. Like who is a Tuttosusa. And Miguel Levy. Sauvicente Island is famous for its
extraordinary sunset over Mount Cara. Cara, meaning face,
refers to the shape of the mountain which evokes the profile of a reclining giant. Some also see the profile
of a woman at her other end. Further north, towards the fishing village
of Salamanza, Héléna and Déborah walk the beach
in search of the raw materials they use in their business. The two young women created Simili,
a brand of recycled fabrics made from old fishing nets
that regularly wash up on the shore. An ecological treasure hunt,
a supportive and sustainable business that transforms plastic into gold. This is a precious thing for us because thanks to this initiative, we have managed to make beautiful what
is not really beautiful. It’s very pretty, it’s the right size. Just sew a rope on the side
and it will make a good diving bag. We are very proud of this work,
but our dream is that we no longer find these
plastic threads in the water and on the shore. Once the collection is complete,
head to the manufacturing premises. Helena and Deborah’s project not
only cleans up the seaside, but also creates
sustainable jobs in the fishing village. In total, four seamstresses
work full-time. Hi Flavia, how are you? After untangling and classifying
the fibers by color, they assemble them using a loom. All they have to do now is sew
their creation onto hemp bags. Helena and Debora distribute their bag all over the island. But the place where they sell
the most is in this eco- friendly shop in downtown Minélo. Here, from bags to trinkets, everything is designed by
and for the island’s working classes. Let’s now leave the island of Sauvicente
for its neighbor, Santo Antao. The main means of transport
to get there is the boat. A national company provides
the population with a cheap and convenient public service for getting around. In the archipelago,
everything goes by ship. Materials, food and animals
fill the holds and give them the air of large ephemeral bazaars. Santo Antao is the northernmost island of Cape Verde
and the furthest from the African continent. Of entirely volcanic origin,
it has two completely different sides. To the south, there are arid lands and cliffs
that drop sheer into the sea. Yet this is where the island’s most famous and sought-after specialty, goat cheese, is made. Antonio raises his goats near
the Moro d’Atubarao volcano. Their favorite time of day
is when the horses join their mothers to feed. Once the milk is expressed, Roni filters it. Then he adds the
essential ingredient for the transformation. Here, no lactic ferment from a
laboratory, but a natural product coming directly from the intestine
of one of the goats in the herd. When I make my cheese, I forget
all my problems: dryness. It’s a kind of meditation. It’s not just a way to earn
a living, it’s also a real everyday passion. Until the 1960s, it was impossible to reach the northern slope by land. A fully
paved road was then built. It leads to the center of the island,
at an altitude of almost 1,500 meters, to discover the Cova crater. Its caldera, with a diameter of about
one kilometer, is watered by heavy rainfall brought by the trade winds. Corn and beans are grown there. A little further on, the heights of the crater
offer a spectacle all the time. The clouds rush into the land
like waterfalls. Near the village of Corda,
a small path leads to the most famous place on the island, the Paul Valley. The lush vegetation offers
a real contrast with the rest of the island. The sugar cane flowers that flood
the valley give the landscape an enchanting character. Terraced gardens,
shaped by the hand of man over the centuries, adorn the mountains. The secret of this exuberant nature lies
in the creation of an irrigation network made up of hundreds of
retention basins and canals bringing water back to the fields. To manage this aquatic wealth,
the Paul Valley can count on the mérindaguas, the guardians of the water. They are the ones who release the water from the basins
and direct it to the cultivated plots. A job Kevin
wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. For me, it is a real privilege
to work amidst these magnificent landscapes. Here, the water is a bit like the blood
that flows through the veins of Paul’s valley. My work is fundamental
to our agriculture. Managing these water reserves
is a big responsibility. I feel like I’m giving
life to our valley. We can go to drive
the tea in our barrier. On this terrace, rising from the mountains,
grow cabbages, eggplants, but also papayas, passion fruit
and breadfruit. Once boiled in water,
this green ball is very popular with Cape Verdeans for its
potato flavor. With its steep paths,
this heavenly setting has become a meeting place for hikers
from all over the world. It is the most visited place on the island
and a highlight of a trip to Cape Verde. Roni was born in Santo, Tao. There he created the website Bemamin,
which means Come with me in Creole. Through the web,
Roni connects local guides directly with tourists. Sustainable tourism that is
enjoying great success year after year. Today, he accompanies a young woman
on the steep slopes of the valley. This is yam,
with leaves this big. The root of this plant is eaten
and normally only grows in water. And right next to it, we also see
herbs like this, it’s watercress. We can eat like this. Like this, and you can make soup,
salad, eat in the salad. It’s very good for your health. And there is a banana tree. There you have it, a banana diet. As a great connoisseur of the region,
Roni has found the little things that surprise his customers every time. This is the hibiscus. It can be used to make tea. It’s very healthy
and you can even eat it. When I was little,
we ate this a lot. Look at.
Taste. It’s delicious. While hibiscus tea is famous
in the country, another hot drink is the pride of Cape Verde: coffee. The grains grown here are
among the best in the world. Introduced at the end of the 18th century
by the Portuguese, its production remains confidential today. Throughout the Paul Valley,
the precious harvest is roasted in a very traditional way. Edna has just collected some
very dry beans and is getting ready to roast them. The whole world envies our coffee. I make coffee because
everyone here loves coffee. It is one of the favorite drinks
of the inhabitants of the valley. The coffee tree is an interesting tree
to grow here because it does not require much water. After crushing the grains with
a pestle to remove their shell, Enna does an initial sorting by hand. This is called departchage. Then she shakes the grains
into a basket and, by blowing, blows off the thinnest skins. The green coffee grown here contains
antioxidants that are said to be very good for your health. The secret to good coffee
is its roasting. It must be done
enough, but not too much. Once the beans are roasted, the work is not finished. It still takes a lot of
elbow grease to grind it all down to powder. Then it remains to be sieved and dried
lightly before being able to consume. At nightfall, in the best
bars in the valley, people dance the mazurka. Originating in Poland,
this dance perfectly illustrates the cosmopolitan culture of Cape Verde. It arrived on the island in the 19th century
and quickly became established, particularly in Santo Antao, where it
became the traditional dance. It blends perfectly
with local music. This percussion box
is called the Caronne. It was once a box intended
for gathering that the slaves transformed into musical instruments. In this establishment,
above the counter, we find a very original decoration. Hedgehog fish,
caught by the owner of the place, hang from the ceiling as lampshades. When frightened, these fish
swell and triple in size. Behind the bar, in huge
glass demijohns, a mixture of local rum and fruit from the valley. And in some bottles you can
even find a poisonous centipede. Let’s now leave Santo Antao to head further south to discover the closest island to Senegal, Boavista. Diego Gomez, the explorer who
discovered it, named it Boavista, meaning beautiful view in Portuguese, for its dreamlike landscapes. Over 11 kilometers of fine sand,
it is one of the wonders of Cape Verde. Santa Monica Beach,
almost deserted and bathed by turquoise waters, is one of the main
nesting grounds in the world for hawksbill turtles. The first eggs have hatched and these
newborns, barely 5 centimeters long, are facing the first
challenge of their lives. They will have to cross
the beach to reach the ocean. But crabs, fish and birds are lurking
and hoping to make it their meal. Only a very small number
will survive the first day. Adult females emerge from the water
only to lay eggs and return directly to the ocean after
burying their eggs. The traces left by their paws
on the sand form gigantic arabesques that can be
seen from the sky. They live between 45 and 65 years,
generally along the coasts, in waters between 13 and 28 degrees. They measure on average almost a meter. Many local businesses
offer the unique experience of swimming alongside them. A little further north,
another place is worth the detour. Varendina Beach is particularly
known for its romanticism. Lovers engrave their attachment
on the walls of these cavities using small pieces of charcoal. The originality of these concretions
sometimes brings to mind modern art. The holes in the rock provide refuge
for migratory birds that come to lay their eggs there. Boavista welcomes many
species during the European winter. The environmental protection association
, BIOAS, is conducting a study program
on red-billed fawns. Vania and Nuno walk along the coastline
in search of holes where the females nest. And sometimes, like today,
it’s on the edge of a cliff. Just below them,
more than a hundred meters of ravines. We are doing this study in collaboration
with the University of Barcelona. This is part of our
animal conservation mission. The first operation is to measure
and identify the growth of the phaeton. In this study,
we collect as much information as possible about the birds and send it
to Barcelona to be compiled and analyzed. Vania and Nuno placed GPS tags
on the bird’s legs a few weeks ago. Today they came to retrieve
the data and install new trackers. The female will soon be back on the road
and the GPS chip’s batteries must be full in order to
geolocate her during her journey. We are studying the migration of this species
to find out how and where they feed during their journey. We try to find out everything
about the life of the failletons. If Boavista is a small paradise
for birds, another animal species also lives there in complete peace. Donkeys, introduced by
Portuguese settlers to carry heavy loads, returned to the wild
with the advent of the internal combustion engine. They are now part of the landscape
and also benefit from the Cape Verdean Morabeza. Boavista is not spared
by the trade winds. The wind blows strongly almost
all year round, making the island one of the best spots in the world for kitesurfing. Many locals have taken an interest in this
sport, to the point of becoming true professionals in the discipline. On Carlotta beach,
four Creoles and one of the very first schools to have seen the light of day. Yuri, one of the partners, has been teaching the art
of sailing for over seven years. My job is really cool. Because I can share my passion
with others, while earning a living. By giving kite lessons,
I meet people from all over the world. And when you live isolated on one, it’s
truly a great asset. Tourism in Boavista is
the main resource. Teaching kitesurfing allows
locals to earn a living from an inexhaustible natural resource. For me, this wind
is truly the gold of Boavista. Kitesurfing is a
really cool feeling, really extraordinary. Especially when you jump,
you have a great feeling of freedom. I feel like I’m
flying like a bird. But sometimes the wind can also
become the island’s worst enemy. From December to February, the Armatan,
a hot, sand-laden wind from the Sahara, blows
over Boavista for several weeks. Darkening the sky,
it worsens the drought, already very present in Cape Verde. Planes are then grounded
and often shipping lanes are closed as well. Part of the Armata sand
washes up in the heart of the Moro de Arreya reserve,
a stretch of sand dunes more than 20 kilometers long facing the sea. A landscape only disturbed by the
noise of groups of tourists on quad bikes. The rest of the sandy wind ended up
inland, giving birth to this small piece of desert
in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. This extension of the Sahara is unique. It is one of the wonders that should
not be missed during a trip to the archipelago. This strip of sand, barely
a kilometer wide and five long, has become the
locals’ favorite playground. We come to surf the dunes. Tourists also enjoy the thrill
of sliding down 2 to 3 meters. A few kilometers away,
another exceptional site is available to visitors: the wreck of the
Spanish ship Cabo de Santa Maria. Caught in a storm in 1968,
the boat ran aground on the shore of Boavista,
loaded with food, household appliances and clothing.
The wreck quickly became a real boon for the locals. For almost a year,
the Cabo de Santa Maria fed them while facing a famine. Its cargo also contained four
bells for a cathedral in Brazil. She has been resting peacefully
in the depths of the ocean ever since. In memory of this offering
from Providence, the beach of Atalanta was renamed Cabo de Santa Maria. The capricious waters of Boavista have been
sinking ships for centuries. To better understand this
shipwreck culture, you must go to the city center
of Saleré, the island’s capital. This is where you will find a
very original little museum, the shipwreck museum. A reconstructed ship’s slipway
immerses visitors in the world of explorers and legendary
transatlantic crossings. There are many treasures found there from
the wrecks of old sailing ships. In this display case,
an authentic crucifix dating from the 17th century, in the image of a Christ
with African appearances. There, a 13th-century Jewish candlestick
and here, 18th-century Portuguese gold coins. Part of the museum is dedicated
to African history and the painful period of slavery. This period drawing
shows how these men were crammed into the holds
of the ships and explains why only a small number survived the journey. Another drawing recalls that the name
of the country is inspired by the Cape Verde peninsula, located in Senegal. Upstairs, the museum walls tell
the story of the Cape Verdean people from the arrival of the first settlers
to the first waves of immigration in the 20th century. This exodus, for economic reasons,
has never stopped. Remittances from the diaspora have even
become the country’s main source of foreign currency. From this uprooting or the lack
of loved ones that we see emigrating, a nostalgia is born that we call Sodade. It is told through a
musical style born in Boavista, which is listed as
intangible heritage by UNESCO, called Morna. A French-Cape Verdean artist
perfectly embodies this saudade. Thibault has been lulled by the
melancholic sounds of Morna since his childhood. He talks about his attachment to the archipelago
through music for more than 20 years. I was born in Paris,
into a family of musicians from Cape Verde. So, I grew up around
music since I was a child. For me, music was the bridge
between Cape Verde and France. I had the saudade to see Cape Verde again
when I was little, when I came as a child. I returned to my home country,
after 20 years of absence, for a concert in tribute to Césaria Évora.
Hi ! Eventually, the invitations came
thick and fast and I never left. I sang the song Pombinha,
which is a song my great aunt taught me when I was a child,
and it became a very big hit. All the children sing Pombinha. Pombinha, Pombinha, sing the Pombinha. Pombinha, For the inspiration of an artist, Boivista, it is the ideal side to travel
internally, spiritually. A 3-hour boat ride from Boavista
is the country’s most famous island, Sal Island. Santa Maria Beach,
located in the south of Sal, is a popular beach tourism destination. It welcomes the majority
of the 700,000 annual visitors. The city center still has
some colonial facades. Its cobbled promenade and the
meeting place after the beach. Salle means salt in Portuguese. The island owes its name to its
salt mines, which in the 19th century produced nearly 30,000 tons
of the precious crystals, mainly for Brazil. A flourishing activity that came to an
abrupt halt when Brasilia introduced high import taxes. Today, Pedro de Lourdes,
the most important mine on the island, has become a tourist attraction. People come here to
bathe in the salt marshes. This pool contains water so
rich in salt that you float completely. Impossible to sink
and not easy to swim. A place conducive to relaxation. The island’s rocky coastline offers a dream setting for beautiful walks. In the village of Mourderia,
when the sea is calm, holes in the rock offer
natural pools for swimming. But when the sea is rough,
the waves break on the rocks and rush into the crevices. A striking spectacle
to be contemplated from a safe distance. On the east coast of the island, people come to taste the great thrill of bay jerky. In this small cove, a
veritable shark nursery, the guides attract young sharks
with food so that they pass between the legs of tourists. Lemon sharks feed
primarily on other fish and are not aggressive. Before reaching their adult size,
more than 3 meters and nearly 200 kilos, they represent no
danger to humans. Many small fish
accompany them and stick to their skin to feed on the parasites
and bacteria found there. While the young ones like to come and play and
feed in contact with humans, the adult sharks, more cautious,
watch over their offspring from the open sea, but
always remain ready to intervene. In Salle, tourism provides employment
for many Cap d’Ordia people, who come from all over the archipelago to work here. Any idea is good
for keeping vacationers busy and entertained. Facing the sea, on a hill,
a zip line offers an extraordinary adventure. A descent of more than
1,000 meters at 110 km/h. Helmeted and harnessed,
the intrepid pilots fly for around ten minutes, suspended at a
height of more than 100 metres. Strong sensations and
unforgettable memories guaranteed. At the end of the day,
head to the southwest of the island, to Pontapretta beach, to admire
the sun setting into the sea. It is also the
most famous surfing spot in Cape Verde. Direction Santiago,
the largest island in the archipelago. Covering nearly 1,000 square kilometers,
Santiago is home to more than half of the country’s population. It is the economic
and political center of Cape Verde. In Praia, its capital,
opposite the Presidential Palace, stands the statue of Diego Gomez,
one of the navigators who discovered the island in 1460. Next to it, the Jem’Motta military barracks
is the oldest building in the city. It takes its name from the eponymous fighter
who fought for independence. Just a few hundred meters away is
July 5th Street. It pays homage to the day
the country declared independence in 1975. People come here to eat
or take a walk with their families. Still in the historic center,
which we call D’ailleurs, as the plateau says,
because perched in the heights, we discover magnificent works of street art. Further down, you should definitely not
miss the Amilcar Cabral memorial. This pioneer of the struggle
for independence is an emblematic figure for all Cape Verdeans. Inspired by Marxism and
African anti-colonial struggles, Amilcar founded a political party and attempted
to achieve a peaceful solution to the colonial status of Portuguese Guinea
and Cape Verde. But failing to achieve their goal,
he and his supporters eventually turned to armed struggle. At the same time, Amilcar engaged in intense
diplomatic activity and obtained recognition for his
struggle from the United Nations. He was unfortunately assassinated two
years before independence and will forever remain the martyr of the
liberation of Cape Verde. Fifteen kilometers further west,
Sida de Vela is the island’s very first capital, founded in 1587. A major crossroads for the slave trade
until the 17th century, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There you can see the ruins of the only
cathedral in Cape Verde, which was completely destroyed in 1712
by the French pirate Jacques Cassard. Even the bells could not
resist his assault. In the heights of the city is the fortress of São Filipe. It was built to
withstand repeated attacks from pirates. Built in 1587,
it is made entirely of stones imported from Portugal. Its
strategic location allowed these cannons to reach enemy ships
that approached too close. Inside were
military warehouses, a brick cistern, the governor’s residence, the jail,
a chapel and the prison. Facing the sea, the pillory and its gallows have
been preserved as a reminder of how the slave traders punished their victims. They were tied there, in the sun,
for hours and most often ended up hanging. Heading north again, you
absolutely must go to the village of Espino-Branco,
to discover a community with an authentic way of life. This brotherhood is one of the groups
that revolted against the liturgical reforms of the
Catholic Church in the 1940s. The rabelados isolated themselves from the rest
of society to live self-sufficiently and commune according to their principles. They live almost self-sufficiently
and cultivate their vegetable garden according to ancestral methods. This is the so-called three
sisters technique, which involves growing three vegetables
together: corn, beans and squash. Complementary, they enrich and
protect each other while constituting a basis
for a balanced diet. They are also the essential ingredients
of cachupa, the national dish. The traditional housing of the Rabelados
is made from sugarcane, banana and bamboo leaves. But over time, the community
opened up to the world and to modernity. Today, their buildings can
withstand bad weather and the passing of time. The Rabeladas have even created an unusual gîte
that can be rented online using
well-known booking platforms. The interior offers
rustic comfort, but with sea views. There’s even a gift shop selling
homemade gifts. Some have discovered
artistic talents. And after work, in the fields,
he likes to play with his paintbrush. Ficot was one of the first
to take up painting. For 15 years now, every
afternoon, he has been creating canvas and pottery. Today I am painting flowers
because the Rabelados love flowers. This is something important for us. I also draw a
traditional straw hut, because tourists buy a lot
of paintings with our houses. When I paint, I need to be
focused on what I’m doing. If I’m preoccupied and thinking about
something else, I can’t create. And if people keep bothering me
when I’m painting and asking me to do something else, then I can
even become very nervous. I also really like painting love
and couples kissing. In the village square,
everyone gathers to play Oril, a traditional African game
better known as awale. The player picks seeds from one of the
holes in his territory and scatters them one by one
in the adjacent squares. The aim of the game is to win as many
seeds as possible at the expense of your opponent. Games and palaver will keep them busy
until sunset. Whether it is the varied landscapes,
nature has taken your breath away. Where the kindness of this people is mixed,
there are a thousand and one reasons for the traveler to come and enjoy
the Morabeza of Cape Verde.
