- Situated at the confines of Europe, Africa, and South America, the archipelago of Cape Verde amazes with its beauty and diversity.
From lush green valleys to yellow sandy beaches, impressive volcanoes to spectacular canyons, we invite you to discover six islands that are so different that you would never believe they belonged to the same group.
Over and above little-known landscapes, a mixed-race population completes an amazing picture with their charm and kindness, set to the rhythm of music and carnivals.
From the film: "Discovering the world - Cape Verde, the Creole Archipelagos"
Direction: Pierre Brouwers
Production: MEDIA 9
I've lived in Cabo Verde for four amazing years. Terrific country, incredible people, overwhelming culture.
This is the most accurate doc I’ve seen about Cabo Verde so far!!! Great job!!
🙋🏾♀️I agree!👍🏾
Thoroughly enjoyed this. The best I've seen on ALL of the Cape Verde islands. Well done! 💫
Me too! 😄👍🏽
@@NCVV2000 My phone doesn't have brown people icons. Lmao.
@@angrybritches1854 You're just an angry Bitch! 🤣
With patience, keep your finger on any icon and the colours of Benetton will pop up, then press on any one you wish 👍🏽
Now prove you can do it 🤞🏽😇
My first exposure was 23years ago on a flight from Dakar. Right after take off the pilot announced a fuel stop in Cape Verde. We all pulled out maps to see where this was. Sadly we couldnt leave the aircraft. I had never heard of the islands.
The islands and the people are beautiful ❤️
Nice
My Mother’s country therefore my home too
Love from Italy
Same 😊

My mother’s country but born in the USA
❤️❤️❤️Cabo Verde , its music, its people! ❤️
Amazing to see we all share the same rich African culture in the Caribbean from the food carnival and the creole language it's absolutely marvelous our African heritage lived within us no matter where we located in the diaspora
Alright, first comment here, it seems. I'm a born capeverdean who lives in the US.
I'm the second one hhh, i'll visit cabo verde en january hope it will be a nice trip.
@@ahmedamineelaziri4460 Which island(s) do you intend to visit? If you go in mid February, you'll be able to experience the Carnaval. The best Carnaval is in the island of Sao Vicente. If you want to hike trails, Sao Antao and Santiago are your best islands for that....well, Sao Nicolau is good too.
Thanks for the advices I'm going first to Praia and after that I'll visit sal
I have an 87yr old grandma who'd like to see CV...which island do you recommend, where we can cover lots of places in a short distance, and do touristy stuff as well be among the beautiful locals?
I wanted to go over the xmas holidays but most places may well be less busy I suspect.....
🙏🏽😊👍🏽
@@NCVV2000 Well, Sao Vicente is the one, i'd say. But it also depends on what exactly you want to see. I wouldn't worry about busy places.....anywhere you go, it's never crowded with tourists. How to get there? TAP airlines is the one everyone uses. From the US, you go to Lisbon, Portugual, and from Lisbon to either one of the main islands. However, make sure, you fly to the island where you intend to stay or it will cost you to fly from island to island. If you take the ferries (they're very cheap), you have to know the time schedules.
I'm Capeverdian, from S.Tiago Island 🏝 I enjoyed so much this program. Thank you 🙏
Hi am from Nigeria , I want to visit cape soon to experience the lifestyle of the Island from our Dearing west african coast ❤❤❤
I will love to visit the country, I am from cameroon
Please can you send me your Instagram
They’re very similar do Canary Islands! Rocky Mountains, sandy beaches, warm weather and great people! 🌴🤩🌴 👏
It's beautiful pristine beaches makes one just get lost in natures beauty the people n friendly live life to the fullest great luv cape Verde it's awasome for surfing n kite flying too. Enjoyed watching ❤😂I'm an indian.
We (my Family) were Blessed to travel to Santiago and spend 8 days in Praia! Besides the fulfillment of returning to where my Grandfather (Joao Varella) was from, it felt awesome to see where our roots originated.
Spent 3 wonderful weeks here, i wish to go back even if they do not recognize most west African countries.
This is lovely. I almost feel I have been there now as we saw so much.
Very informative and entertaining thank you for your creation Best Wishes Errol in South Africa
Than you very much for watching!
Nossa, o melhor vídeo sibre a trilha Inca, Salkantai, amei. Deu força pra eu ir , Julho/24🎉🎉🎉
Overall the documentary did a fine overview of the Cape Verdean people, their culture, way of life and the differences between the islands. However why was Brava not included?? It may be the smallest island but its inhabitants are the most humble and friendliest. Brava is also the home of the great poet Eugenio Tavares and singer Armando DePina. Djabraba ‘N Ca Negabo.
Worth a visit, good wishes to everyone on all of the Cape Verde Islands.
❤ finally someone showing love to our beautiful “island of flowers” or as we say “ Ilhai de floras” I wish more people would show our island my mom is from fa’ djandago
8.1.2023.Very good and best.💋Thank you.
Very good documentary on the Cape Verde Islands. A wonderful insight into it's geography, history and it's people. Cesaria Evora must be one of it's greatest singers. Love her music.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you very much for your support, it means a lot!
Thx for sharing you put in alot
My families country!
Amazing, I really want to go there🌴🤩
Me too!
How does a documentary this good with such excellent video skip the opportunity to state precisely what the population of the capital is?
After AFCON we will visit CABO VERDE. I want to see those beautil people. love from Namibia
Great video!
Beautiful. Great place to retire if you are financially stable. Thank you
africa the best nation
continent
💥💛💚AUSTRALIA!! BEST MUSIC!!
Beautiful Island and people. I like that they don't sprawl between cities and everywhere, but over building can take over quickly if you perceive yourself as poor. There are such simple building supplies in America that, if shown simple natural building techniques, you could build beautiful housing (not too small nor too large) for the people. No electricity polls but using fuel operated generators would be more the thing (stay away from solar). If it is God's will for this people.
Why stay away from solar , solar power is better than generators , in such a climate
Fuel operated generator are a sure thing. Solar is iffy at best. All that glass, especially on top of homes, is ugly and will end up in the never-ending debris field.
The most realistic video about CV 👌
Which Island would be best for my nan who's 87? She can walk well but would probably enjoy lots of coach trips to various places, especially places of historical significance
I suggest going to são Vicente. It's the second most populated island. Very historical. You call walk in the city of Mindelo easily. Good food and hotels.
I would suggest Santiago, because its history pratically is the Cape Verde history, being the bigger one, the first to be discover, the economic, demographic and political center, with most historical sites to visit (Cidade Velha - World Heritage Site, the only one in Cape Verde/Tarrafal - "Concentration Camps" to people who oppose the portuguese colonialism/ Plateau - Historical center in the Capital (Praia)) and others beautiful places and nice people, inspite of many thing to be done and solve yet . It´s a complete island. For someone who like to have differents experiences would be great.
Any insland, except Santiago. I would sugest São Nicolau or São Vicente.
If you really want places of historical significance, go to Santiago. Being the first island to be colonized, it represents more than 500 hundred years of Cape Verdean history. I´ve been there. All of them are beautiful but Santiago is the best.
Remember this area is beautiful. Although unbelievably 🔥 🥵. Carry 💧. And visitors 👒 on your head. Beautiful people Beautiful scenery. Incredible wildlife
So I'm watching this, and I'm thinking about Japan. They've a way to cut wood so that it grows faster, doesn't deplete, contributing to errosion and a barren landscapel. It's similar to the way they've master Bonzai. It's just on a grander scale. I wonder if this could be implemented in Cabo Verde? I don't know if the kind of wood makes a difference, or not.
Is bamboo grown on Cape Verde it grows fast and can be used for many projects.
Thank you for sharing, no news I had about the country.
Green Cape islands.
Long live Cesaria Evora and Cabo Verde.
❤ I can't wait to visit these islands 🌹🌹🌹
Neither can I.
Enjoying video.illustrasion high quality.all European nations had more than one bigger colony.
i love you african one africa love
Mount Fogo looks beautiful
Cape Verde was uninhabited when Portuguese discovered it. All capeverdians - white or black - are settlers.
Liar, Portuguese where opportunists, they claim to discover everything
Sure dude 🤨
Whose narrative?
Even Darwin went there before and seems he found only small reptiles .
Inspired to visit.
🧡💚 Obrigada/thank you 💛♥️
Cześć. Ciekawe udostępnienie.👍 Miłego weekendu życzę. 😊
Cap Verde is this best people
Luar biasa good..❤
Always wanted to visit sins i was living in Europe
The color of the US$ bill.
Wonderful color.
very informative
❤ LIVED THERE MANY YEARS AGO .. . ( SAO VICENTE ) MINDELO .
I wasn't aware there were so many people speaking french there. I know there is emigration from Cabo Verde to France, and some french celebs have cape-verdian origins. I remember some music some of them made, in french and criollo: La MC Malcriado:

We lern french on school, too
French was the first foreign language learned in the eighties I remembered. ❤️⚘️👍🕊🙏😊.
Cape Verde is a Europe colonization my dear, all Eurolanguage is known to the people
I heard him say migrated to America but I know a lot of them in France, beautiful mix breed people, I even believe they were colonized by the French.
Not one mention of the slave trade. This was a huge stopover for the Portuguese slave trade. Why wasn’t this mentioned?
Because.. it’s already known.
Did you know that slavery/ serfdom only ended in Russia after the 1917 Revolution?
Or that still today, in the Middle East, there are Countries, that are integral part of the United Nations and that still practice slavery?
And to finish it all: do you think that a “ free” person in Latin America, Africa, South East Asia that work hard ( like the “free” people of Cape Verde nowadays) and receive one or two dollars per day for survival, aren’t they slaves themselves?
Your “ horror” should be focused in what is happening TODAY, and NOT in a distant past.
@@michaeldelisieux5252 Not everyone knows about that just because we might.
@@michaeldelisieux5252ate her 😂💯👏🏻
Did you make it past the 9th minute? Slavery is discussed right before sugar cane cultivation
Look, there is NO ethnic group or skin color that has not been victimized, labeled, discriminated against, enslaved, mass murdered, eaten, and buried in mass graves. That's what humans do, along with raping our significant others sexually or financially. That's why we dominate everything across this planet. When "black" people agree with modern genetics that "race" does NOT exist, that they are merely humans with genes for darker skin tones, we will begin to stop "racism" (petty discrimination by skin tone). 😊😊😊😊
Those volcanic rock roads will outlast those tarmac roads.
probably not without lots of maintenance, which isn't a big thing here !!!
They look lovely
Anyone with experience driving on cobblestones? Looks NOISY and bumpy. 😮😮
Don’t know when this vid was filmed and is I the
only one who picked up on the commentators very racist comments particularly at 1320

Tis too is West Africa..
Same applies the one that says these islands are close to Africa, as if Cape Verde is not Africa. I wish somebody else was narrating this story because Cape Verde is Africa🙂.
It is part of Africa but NOT in Africa so to speak ...and the culture is not African but more Portuguese and Brazilian mixture
"Cape Verde is Africa" defies definition. Volcanic islands, population mixing Portuguese and African, speaks Portuguese, has its own culture; music, food, dance. And Carnaval, from Catholicism. 😂😂😂😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤

I started watching this and switched off.
Seems the Eurocentric narrator just glossed over the Portuguese
role in the enslavement of Africans.
If you're going to call any African country poor you should explain the role
your country played in the disenfranchisement of the people and the
looting of their natural resources which continue to this day.
It's a testament to our strength and resilience that we're still here.
Thank you for pointing narrative agenda of expression about colonization damage that was whitewash in small documentary about Cape Verde Island consider this Islands play mayor part inconomic advancement for Europe economically dependent on Western Africa Ensavement to this day Cape Verde people are still living in strong hold of systematic oppression of colonization on partial to trade or economic world trade that Portugal to this day controls. History is factual humanity story that needs to be retold with outmost respect for true.
You are delusional
Whenever I read these comments I get annoy. When will YOU make a video changing the narrative? And what roles did our African ancestors play in this enslavement of their own people, which is still going on to date? Can I come by you, come in, take your children, take your goods without your participation? Where do greed and crab mentality come in? On whose side? Make your own videos with what you want us to hear and stop waiting for the Eurocentric narrators to do so to then criticize them. History keeps repeating itself! Grow up and become doers and not only critics!
@danielvirginie1431 aftocentrics and some cape verdeans that are born in America worship black American culture and think they are peaceful people yet cause the most destruction wether home or abroad.. it's 2023 ask them why they left home country for others...
Seems like the USA deserves most of these criticisms, not Europe. USA with 5% if Earth's humans consumes 25% of the planet's resources. And funds 800 offshore military bases .. hmmm...
What is their fresh water supply today?
“despite the proximity of Africa” This is an African country 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
He was clearly refering to the mainland.
It was uninhabited when Portuguese discovered it. Black or white - people who live there now all arrived and settled there.
@@VonRix Whats your point, it still africa an African country.
In South Africa Dutch setlers still there, it is still africa
Exactly, it is Africa. He should of said main land.
Canary Islands is closer to Africa why is it not Africa then?
Grinch is green too.
Cr7 has cape verdian blood.
They need to export volcanic rock and soil, perhaps start by sending to the other 8slands to improve their crops and the rest sell overseas.
Good times when Thomsons existed
I can easily afford it but would not be renting it. They should keep it as an AirB&B.
A very happy people that are so contented with what they have. Unfortunately, the narrator is a devil who seems not to see anything good in them. Nevertheless, you great people who don't go around looking for who to exploit.
uninhabited? yeah right...

They don't need mountains for water, although very helpful , they need trees....
Mountains cause rain. Trees do not. Trees need water first. Trees & other plants' roots help hold water, and forests increase the humidity of a region.
Cape Verde have lots of oil and gas it needs to drill it
Really? Oil and gas on volcanic islands? If there was any, they would drill
@@markplimsolllol there is no oil and gas in that country. Cape verde has no natural resources and i think it's a bless disguise. No war and less corruption than the all African countries with natural resources
Unfortunately,Sal the most popular island ,has become a mass tourist destination in winter,bringing with it all the worst aspects ,including theft,prostitution,drugs and antisocial activity..Beyond the main pedestrian street in Santa Maria,you will find a growing litter and garbage problem,together with a ..wild uncontrolled dog population .What you see in videos and magazines is a highly sanitised version of reality..This is a paradise lost with only the beaches perpetuating the myth of a paradise.
Foreigners are allowed to own land there?
Yes
It as more ⛽ gas that needs to be drill
There is an African man who is making cooking bricks out of coconut shells.
You successfully glossed over the brutal slave trade.

What is the this narrator saying ? Like the spirit cult from Africa ? As if what the Portuguese brought was not a cult !!!
If you do not learn from the pass, then you are DOOMED to repeat it worldwide. Karma never loses an address.
Silly magic thinking. Explain the karma of Earthquake victims?😮😮😮😮
Spiritual cults? You mean western religions right!!
Interbreeding ? old school,
What were they - catholic slave traders?

How many times you said former colonists the Portuguese! Meanwhile the British were the worst colonists in this World! They still think they live in an Empire times! Please get over it!
Yes bro, you're 100% right 👍
E os portugueses não colonizaram ninguém porque as ilhas não eram povoadas, como os Açores e a Madeira
Actually the most racist are Portuguese who lead the way they had been the first Europeans to loot, pillage & war against the Africans and when was slavery abolished in their former colonies look up Portugal history let’s look it up they were the last. There is no comparison the UK anti slave campaign had huge support from the British public which bought about abolition of slavery 1834 -1838, now when was Slavery abolished in Brazil as an example, In fact what has Portugal ever made a success of when not living off others.
@@MC-mv2wr the question is, What has UK ever made a success of when not living off the others, instead! Call it Common Wealth. 😂 Btw, give it back to Egypt and Greece their heritage for once.
@@MC-mv2wr Sounds like you been reading only British History books. I live in Canada but I won't get into the disgusting British legacy and of how they treated our native Indians and much, much more. Your language and tone is one of anger and misinformation. Just relax. History is history and there are many views and perspectives on the true facts . Try to embrace a more positive view and a inclusive future. Anyway...take care. Feel free to comment if you wish. I won't engage with you in a back and forth comment. Cheers.
Cape Verde is Portuguese not Creole cajun.
dont insult the caboverdian .....
@@c.ukandabantu8740 It's not their culture.
There are many creole cultures and Cape Verde is actually the first Creole culture in the world.
you glossed the slave trade of the island.
Too many distorted facts against Ancient Blacks Original Truth w'wide. BlacksTRUTH is Eternal **
I stopped listening when they called indigenous African practices cults
We are sorry for the miscomprehension. The word "cult" is not necessarily tainted with disdain, it is also a word synonymous of worship directed towards a particular figure or object. It wasn't meant to be critical or hurtful in any way.
