Got in trouble for doing this at work long ago..and I was like hey, better Google Maps than a place where u can catch a virus. Boss lady still wasn’t havin it.. 😩
I'm Cape Verdean and I must say, great job! There are some little mistakes but, in general, you nailed it! For instance, Cape Verde does not have only 3 volcanoes. The islands are of volcanic origin, therefore, almost every mountain is a volcano. Extinct ones but still volcanoes. Those figures in "ethnicity" were data used by the Portuguese in the colonial period. They are not accurate and since the independence there hasn't been any statistics about races. I mean, come on! In a country like Cape Verde how can you know exactly if a person is black, white or mestiço? The Guinea-Bissau Creole is indeed similar to Cape Verdean Creole (kinda Portuguese and Spanish are similiar). The culture... mmm... no that much. But Cape Verde was in fact the principal country to help Guinea-Bissau in the political turmoil in the 90's. Once again, congrats!
Xandu di Canda Wrong, the ethnic/racial statistics are accurate, most Cape Verdeans are mulattos. However, I do agree that many of the people that are listed as black or white are, actually, somewhat mixed.
+Andreneida Santos wow now i want to go to cape verde!!! although lots of beautiful girls here in my country. one was crowned miss universe days ago. but i would like to visit your country :-)
I fell in love 5 times a day while I was there. Absolutely beautiful people, very positive, open, welcoming and humble and they know how to enjoy life. Music, dance, smile, no stress! :) Cheers to all capo verdean people! Muito bonito, Cabo Verde! :)
chasaano Being positive is important yes, but as with all things it has to be kept within reason and not overshadow the big problem which corruption in these countries is. It is improving but there is still a long way to go.
Hey, so I absolutely love this vid & it's undoubtedly my favorite vid about CV. But being Cape Verdean myself, I think i'm obligated to inform you that it's probably not best you refer to the country or its inhabitants as "Halfrican". I totally get what you're getting at & that you mean nothing malicious whatsoever. It's just that Cape verde is part of Africa so for that reason alone, its inhabitants should be referred to as African. Yes, we're a mixed race nation & I love & am proud to be a Cape Verdean but as you mentioned, most of us borrow alot of cultural traditions from portugal. What's little known is that unfortunately, many cape verdeans try ignoring their African heritage all together & in fact, will often say that they are just Portuguese. This form of self hate or denial, rather, is only reinforced by false terms like Halfrican. Hope you understand. Thanks again for the informative & powerful vid! Keep em coming, please!
And imagine being North African, your home and your whole culture since the dawn of time has been on the African continent but poeple (your own poeple, foreigners, or other Africans) will never consider it as such simply because you're not "black". As if Africa was supposed to be this homogeneous blob limited in its diversity as opposed to the oh so great Eurasia.
Loved your precise info as you are so true with what you saying as I am Capeverdean too that I was born in Portugal. But I am totally Afican . Not Halfrican! Btw great video
1:25 it is Madeira, that means "wood" in Portuguese. C'mon Paul, when the Portugal video comes out i want to see you say the name of my adorable island right!!
Cape Verde all the way. I found out at my family reunions in Atlanta Georgia that's My background is Cape Verde. I'm from Queens New York but I love the new info and I will be educating myself with the culture for sure.
Are your family roots in GA? I too have ties to Cabo Verde and so far it’s either from SC/GA or my LA/AL still figuring that part out lol. But considering the super old history of SC/GA and it’s ties to DR it’s very possible that, that’s the connection
Wow! That was great!! I am Cape Verdean, and i must say that this video was very accurate, i really enjoyed watching it. Very well done Paul. I barely find videos about Cape Verde that are made by people who are not from there. People normally don't know about us, so i am amazed and surprised with the information you got and the way you presented it. Barby, you did a great job!!!! Gostei imenso! :)

+HelenaeCat four horizontal bands coloured blue white green yellow split in the middle by a vertical red band, and with a yellow star in the top left corner of the flag. See?
So: Anglophone= English Speaking Countries Francophone= French Speaking Countries Lusophone= Portuguese Speaking Countries Russophone= Russian Speaking Countries Sinophone= Chinese Speaking Countries What's for Spanish?
In France, the most famous Capeverdian national was the singer Cesaria Evora. She was probably the biggest name in what France usually calls "musique du monde", which is a metagenre regrouping pretty much every "exotic" music that is seldom if ever performed by actual French people.
I mean French people. "Musique du monde" encompasses what is rarely performed by any prominent French musical celebrity, whatever their ethnicity. Stop trying to make everything about skin colour.
I know a guy from Cape Verde, he came to Brazil to study business on my uni, very nice guy, told me a lot about his country and his people, hope some day i get to go there, he said that the Fogo island is very interesting.
thank you for these video man...you just teached me things about my country that I didn't know...and I believe every word. Keep up the VERY GOOD WORK you're doing. 👍
I am cape verdian! I ve borne in são vicente, but lived most part of my life in brava 3:39! My country is amazing, each island its so unic, i wish you come to visit us some day! You will enjoy good gastronomy, very kind and welcoming people.
Nice to see that people are interested in Cabo Verde and the people! Makes me smile😊 it's true though about the blond hair and green/ blue eyes have a lot of people in my family with green/ blue eyes and blond hair. For us it's something normal. & Laughed so hard when he said halfricans😂👏🏽
+Santiago Aner I never went there, but my next to go place got to be Boavista in Cabo verde. What I saw and read, it's one of the few natural paradises in the world. But I read in someplace, to go, go faster, because in a few short years, the place will lost it's natural look, cause of a lot of hotels that they going to make there.
There are some great places for nature like boavista and S. antao and great places for beaches and women like s. Vicente. You have to watch yourself in Praia and s. Vicente tho.
+Richardcolu If you're referring to his usage of nautical miles, that unit in particular is actually used by navigators all over the world. Especially its "per-hour" form, which are referred to as "knots"
More than that. I've read in a book that it's a mixture of 32 African and 14 European ethnies. I've even met a Cape Verdean who looked like a Filipino...
Luís Almeida, well a little bit of research will let you know that Cape Verde is actually named after a peninsula in Senegal called Cap-Vert, and the Cape Verdean islands are right off that peninsula ( also referred to as a *cape* ), so the Portuguese settlers put a little spin on the name of the peninsula and named the islands Cape Verde, or Cabo Verde. Also, proud to be Cape Verdean! 🇨🇻
I love your videos for years i have been trying to find a video about Cabo Verde! I am from there and I miss it sooo much all my family is there and i have been away for 4 years so you made me very happy! THANK YOU!❤
I am from the Canary Islands are the geographical distribution is exactly the same as the Cape Verde islands: the Eastern islands are dry and flatter while the Western islands are green and mountainous.
if you wanna spend amazing holidays, you need to go to Cape Verde!! is a beautiful country and you can see the nature, the animals, beachs, everything good, you can either find peace to relax yourselves, realy i real tell you to go there spends your holidays, you will never forget.....big hug!!!!
My family is from Cabo Verde, my mom and most of her relatives were born there! Also, i've been there twice, and want to go again. I'm doing a project on there right now.
You dont have in one side Africans and in the other side Creoles. This is a non sense. Both are Africans . By the way, you seem to know more about Africans than themselves. Please give us your definition of what is African
Come on, when he says "african", he means: with little to no European blood, and when he says "creole", he means: with a fair share of European blood! That's ethnicity, not culture or nationality!
Hi Christina! I'm Cape Verdean born & raised in Boston MA! I was curious how dense the population of cape verdeans are in Luxembourg & whether there is a scene out there that caters to the culture (I.e restaurants, shops, lounges etc.) Hope to hear back from you soon!
Thanks for sharing the brief on Cape Verde! Many of the Cape Verdeans from around the world are sharing your show. Oh and thank you for not saying the islands were not inhabited prior to colonial powers. No one nation can honestly say they've discovered another. Really enjoyed the upbeat way you told Cabo Verde's story. Respect...
A guy in Cape Verde, when i was visiting the country, said me 'Welcome Home' 😳 as a portuguese i suspect there's not many portuguese ex colonies i can hear that.. thanks! love the country - yeah a guy at a bar, at night, try to make me pay for the Vasco da Gama mistakes 😂😂 but the guys over there deal with it.. was fun 😂😂
So yeah, my dad's side of the family is from the islands you called 'Mandeira,' they're actually called 'MADEIRA.' If you want help when you get to Portugal or any place in Latin America hit me up.
think it's a little too late for this recommendation but it would be nice to have the meaning of the name in each countires, maybe you can do it in the geography more section for those countires you have alrready pass and keep put it on the ones that are comming. P.S. i feelt that you were talking too fast like you were in a hurry, or maybe how i alredy watched all your videos i forgot how you speak, anyways keep the good job :)
Just a little pedantic note (Sorry! Great video, btw): The variance in topography between the eastern and western halves of the archipelago is more attributable to geology, and not the Harmattan winds blowing off the Sahel and Sahara regions. The islands are volcanic, and they sprout out of a hotspot, then are pushed eastwards. This makes the islands in the eastern half significantly older, and therefore more weathered/eroded down. (Consider the case of the Appalachians, ancient mountains which are relatively modest in size now but used to be towering Himalaya-esque landforms millions of years ago.) This is why Sal, Boavista, and Maio are relatively flat, and the youngest islands, like Santo Antão and Brava, are very mountainous (and correspondingly greener). Certainly the eastward march of the islands into the face of the Harmattan winds is a small factor in this (the islands are 400km of the coast of the continent, so a, say, 15km distance between one island and another is not enough for wind to be the determining factor in topography differences), but geology is the prime mover in this positive feedback loop of dimunition.

Come on, when he says "african", he means: with little to no European blood, and when he says "creole", he means: with a fair share of European blood! That's ethnicity, not culture or nationality!
David K. Africa is a continent not a race. When most people say aftican they mean subsaharan West African negroid.
I am cape verdian (African)
But a don't look like one
I did some research and Jesus you guys are gorgeous people.
Foxx Of Laurels thank you

Cape Verdean women are freaking hot! 😍
Interesting perspective, always cool to see how an outsider would describe our home. Very Americanized view of Cabo verde but quite cool.
Hi Barby!
As a cap verdean living in Luxembourg I'm still waiting on you to make a video on Luxembourg :p
It's alphabetical
Hi Christina! I'm Cape Verdean born & raised in Boston MA! I was curious how dense the population of cape verdeans are in Luxembourg & whether there is a scene out there that caters to the culture (I.e restaurants, shops, lounges etc.) Hope to hear back from you soon!
I'm from Cape Verde and I really liked your video.
I love where I’m from, the food the people and the music 🇨🇻❤️
I love your channel, first used to learn more about Kyrgystan. You present funlike and casual, but still factual. Love it, stay cool. Andreas

So a mile is not always a mile... You see why most people took up the metric system?
We shipping people use nautical miles every day, ww. No km/hr here, except when we drive in car around the port.
Lets go imperial
*Hears that the Central African Republic is next*
Me: 0.0 ...Oh no.
+Devon Lewis Why?
+CountryStuffMapping You know.. War, conflict, and stuff...
Martin Fosse Oh. Pretty much the embodiment of Africa, wars.
4.5 million people version of the hunger games
+Devon Lewis should be very interesting considering that it has no government
Thanks for sharing the brief on Cape Verde! Many of the Cape Verdeans from around the world are sharing your show. Oh and thank you for not saying the islands were not inhabited prior to colonial powers. No one nation can honestly say they've discovered another. Really enjoyed the upbeat way you told Cabo Verde's story. Respect...
Outstanding job presenting my dear Archipelago! Thank you!
My country!! you did an amazing job!!
please watch my video about Cape Verde and most of countries through my channel
A guy in Cape Verde, when i was visiting the country, said me 'Welcome Home' 😳 as a portuguese i suspect there's not many portuguese ex colonies i can hear that.. thanks! love the country - yeah a guy at a bar, at night, try to make me pay for the Vasco da Gama mistakes 😂😂 but the guys over there deal with it.. was fun 😂😂
So yeah, my dad's side of the family is from the islands you called 'Mandeira,' they're actually called 'MADEIRA.' If you want help when you get to Portugal or any place in Latin America hit me up.
What an underrated channel.
Love the content!
keep it up :)
finally💯 much love from cabo verde and luxembourg ❤
I too like to scan Google Maps and it is therapeutic for me as well. Recognize.
think it's a little too late for this recommendation but it would be nice to have the meaning of the name in each countires, maybe you can do it in the geography more section for those countires you have alrready pass and keep put it on the ones that are comming.
P.S. i feelt that you were talking too fast like you were in a hurry, or maybe how i alredy watched all your videos i forgot how you speak, anyways keep the good job :)
Saying hello from Ireland. I love this country 🇮🇪❤🇨🇻
Good job man i like it, it looks u did a lot of research 4 this video, as a Cape Verdean im very happy with this video.
Love from the United States of America to Cape Verde! 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇻
1:25 That archipelago is called Madeira not "Mandeira"
Just a little pedantic note (Sorry! Great video, btw): The variance in topography between the eastern and western halves of the archipelago is more attributable to geology, and not the Harmattan winds blowing off the Sahel and Sahara regions. The islands are volcanic, and they sprout out of a hotspot, then are pushed eastwards. This makes the islands in the eastern half significantly older, and therefore more weathered/eroded down. (Consider the case of the Appalachians, ancient mountains which are relatively modest in size now but used to be towering Himalaya-esque landforms millions of years ago.) This is why Sal, Boavista, and Maio are relatively flat, and the youngest islands, like Santo Antão and Brava, are very mountainous (and correspondingly greener). Certainly the eastward march of the islands into the face of the Harmattan winds is a small factor in this (the islands are 400km of the coast of the continent, so a, say, 15km distance between one island and another is not enough for wind to be the determining factor in topography differences), but geology is the prime mover in this positive feedback loop of dimunition.
Chère francophones! Aidez-nous avec C comme Côte d'Ivoire!
