In this video, we share the 10 interesting facts that you probably didn't know about Cape Verde.
    CAPE VERDE: 10 Interesting Facts You Didn't Know
    1. Highest standard of living. Cape Verde is the country in West Africa with the highest standard of living. Thanks to the very stable economy that hugely depends on tourism, airlines and the hotel industry.
    2. Highest number of Goats. Cape Verde has one of the highest numbers of Goats. It is said that the ratio stands at 1 goat for every 2 people and many of these are wild goats.
    3. Virgin Land. Before colonial time, the island was uninhabited. It was until the 15th century that people started settling onto the island and these were Portuguese
    4. High Number of Loggerhead turtles. Cape Vere posses as the country with one of the highest numbers of Loggerhead turtles in the world and it is illegal to capture or hunt these animals because they're considered endangered species.
    5. Biggest mixed race population. This came as a result of intermarriage between the Portuguese and Africans that had been brought to work on plantations during colonial time.
    6. Portuguese Creole. This is the official language. It has a blend of both Portuguese and African languages.
    7. Not Agricultural friendly. Cape Verde is one of those African countries that are not Agricultural friendly. 10%-11% of the land are volcanic soils that don't permit agricultural practices. Much of the food consumed in the country is imported.
    8. Largest Salt mines. Cape Verde once had the largest salt mines in the world. These were now turned into a tourism site on the Sal Island. They have breathtaking views.
    9. Wet and Dry. The Islands of Santiago, Fogo and Santo Antao see most of the rainfall during the year while the islands of Sal, Boa Vista and Maio receive little to no rain at all during the year.
    10. Stable Democracy. The country is one of the most democratic on the African continent. The leaders in the country change democratically and today the country is considered as one of the safest countries on the continent. This has also attracted many foreign investors to come to invest in the country.

    Well, I called Cabo Verde during my Atlantic passage from Gibraltar to Caribbean, very nice and interesting place. In my opinion, its number “1” quality is its musical riches. You hear a Brasilian sound with Cuban flavor. Great musician and good performance…

      Yes, you are right.
      In a way on the musical sense it has been a back a fourth story in the last 400 years.
      The seeds of Brasil's musical heritage are rithms come from Africa (mostly from Angola) and Portugal.
      Cabo Verde was the crossroad that connected Europe, Africa and the Americas as every ship that wanted to reach those destinations had to stop there.
      More recently, with the advent of the radio in the early XXth century, brasilian music itself started to influence the music in Portugal and in the former portuguese colonies.
      So it has been a long history of mutual influences. The seeds came from Africa and Portugal initially but over time Brazil itself influenced others in the portuguese speaking world.
      The Cuban heritage is similar but their European roots come from Spain.
      Slightly different rithms from the portuguese.
      Indeed a very interesting history.

    Cape Verde can be expensive to visit when traveling to the famous islands Sal and Boa Vista. Average prices for an all-inclusive holiday are $1000 for 10 days per person, often including flights when leaving from the UK or Europe, and depending on the season. The lesser-known islands are often cheaper to visit.

    Although we haven't been for 2 years because of Covid, our previous 5 trips have been superb. We have Island friends on Sal and plan to go back this year. It's safe, clean and super friendly with a guaranteed climate although i cannot stress enough as inviting as the sea looks, it can be a very dangerous place. The rip currents are as bad as anywhere i've been around the World and you'll do very well to take heed of the beach flag colours, red being you don't go in at all.
    The pay the multilingual island hotel workers receive is very poor so we usually give a 2 Euro tip at breakfast and 3 at dinner. My wife takes underwear and sanitary products that she gives to the cleaners and workers, we take books for kindergartens and stationary for the teachers.
    We love Sal and its people, it really is the place to chill. Muito amor, from South London, England.

But to us from Sweden it's like a cold breeze more than wind. So when it's cold here in Sweden Cap Verde is great because it's like our summer.
    I didn't know that Cap Verde have the highest amount of goats in the world. And also the highest economy in Africa. Fun facts.

      we do have some greenhouse farming, I'm from Sal island (the driest one on my books) and even there there is some investment in that direction, I don't know if it would ever be possible to make it sustainable enough to make us self sufficient, i'm not an agriculture expert :|... water desalination... I think other islands have some natural water sources but it's not enough for the entire population, therefore water desalination technology isn't a foreign concept to us or something that needs to be introduced to us, it's actually our main source of "fresh" water. I hope this helps but, as I said, I don't know much about agriculture.

    • @yaronatzo1
      @yaronatzo1 2 роки тому

      The islands did not have any permanent settlements before the Portuguese started settling in 1462. There is evidence of minor temporary camps made by West African fishermen where they left behind cooking materials like pots and fireplaces, but nothing significant like a settlement. People should be realist and neither be Euro-centric nor also be Afro-centric, take things for what they are and don't try to be revisionist just to boost your pride. Cape Verde has always been a place of miscegenation and we take pride of both our ancestors, Africans and Europeans.

    • @azrusonii

      @@yaronatzo1 there are tribes native to Cape Verde even to this day and many elders will tell you they settled on the island way before Columbus or any European influence. The Portuguese just wanted to erase the history as if they were the founders of the island which is not true. Its not about Afro centrism or Euro centrism its about facts and covered up history

      @yaronatzo1 2 роки тому

      @@azrusonii I don't know where you got that from, but you're wrong. The only thing close to what you're saying are the Rabelados in the island of Santiago who were fugitive slaves that fled to the Northern part of the island and the reason why they did that was because they were fleeing religious prosecution as they did not agree with the changes implemented in the Catholic Church where they went from the Old Testament to the New Testament. There are no Tribal communities in Cape Verde. You really have no understanding of Cape Verde, it's culture or history and as such shouldn't bring misinformation to those who might actually want to learn about its history.
