Cape Verde is an island nation in the Atlantic Ocean, about 600 km west of the African mainland. It consists of ten volcanic islands with scenic landscapes, sandy beaches, and a unique blend of African and Portuguese cultural influences. The capital city, Praia, is the political and cultural heart of the archipelago.
Cape Verde is renowned worldwide for its music, especially the morna genre, popularized by the legendary singer Cesária Évora, the "barefoot diva," whose voice still symbolizes the spirit of these islands.
