Gabriela Mendes - the authentic voice from Cape Verde

nhacretcheu | January 16, 2007
This dry, arid little country has forced its people to emigrate, leaving behind its heart and soul.
Our repertoire is based on traditional rhythms that express the feelings and daily life of
Cape Verdeans.

extrafabulous- I am really curious what is the cultral and racial make up of Cape Verdeans? I have noticed that they are the darkest dark and the lightest light with blue eyes. Even the dark Cape Verdeans have blue or hazel eyes. Cape Verdeans are so diverse.

How do I know? I'm one. ;)
