Hard to describe, but music from CV has a different vibe than music from continental Africa, regardless of its diversity. I guess it is because of the mixing that took place in CV, whose music is basically a type of fusion genre based on African and Portuguese music. And it did not stop at music, it apples to the language and racial makeup of the population as well, everything is very mixed.
Yes, to an extent. But actually, CV and Angola have obvious similarities in terms of the African/Portuguese influence that is evident in music (cabo love and kizomba sometimes get confused). CV music also draws from French-Creole elements found in zouk music from the Caribbean.
Gee, I wonder if that is good for the brain, all those sudden movements It is no secret that frequent head kicks impacts the brain negatively in soccer players...
I like the music..it is beautiful!!..and I understand the pidgin...As an American..the drumming sounds like random beating but I can pick out 3 basic rhythms the rattles, the string, and the flute...what would an AFRICAN be hearing in the drums that I
would NOT be hearing? are their body parts dancing to at least 5 different rhythms??? Are these dance steps specific or improvised or both??--The Shadodo Igbo video
As an AA, some of it reminds of the way some people dance in AA churches..

It's quite a complex fabric of rhythms, one does not find something so complex in Western music, thus we have a hard time recognizing the regular nature.
Nor does that kind of music follow our Western song structure, like verse verse chorus verse chorus solo chorus chorus etc.
...so I would assume the Africans would recognize a regular pattern in the drums where I would not...The Ethiopian thing
scares me...I am thinking of broken necks!
