Anyone been to CAPE VERDE? The African islands that had a lot of European mix, and even today has a strong black/white mix of people that speak Portuguese.
I've always been a bit curious about Cape Verde...wondering if anyone has first-hand knowledge or even second-hand knowledge of being there...and their impressions of the place, where they went, etc.
No first hand, but plenty of second-hand. I know lots of Cape Verdeans and some people who worked there w/the Peace Corps.
I could write a book on this stuff - I love the culture and am always taken for CV when I'm in Boston......you'd be surprised at how many Americans have CV ancestry. Lena Horne for example.
Those are small, still somewhat poor islands, why would you expect to find big cities there? Those islands lack water and other resources, they just don't support big city life and masses of people...

Unfortunately Cesaria Evora, the singer who helped put Cabo Verde on the entertainment map, has just died at age 70. She had an incredible talent.
Although I have never been to Cape Verde, I have seen a Globe Trekker show about it (combined with Senegal) and it looks like it might be an interesting place to visit.

I'll have to look for that on youtube...
Cape Verde remains one of those countries, that I'd love to visit...
