Cape Verde archipelago

Cape Verde archipelago is located 604 kilometers (375 mi) off the coast of West Africa. My Uncle once worked in this place and he always tells us about the culture and history of the Cape Verdeans. He particularly like their music which they call morna, a melancholy and lyrical song form typically sung in Cape Verdean Creole. He tells me that is really nice to the ears and at times, people there dance into that tune.

With regards to food, corn is said to be their staple food in Cape Verde. And the National dish is Cachupa. They also eat rice and meat and vegetables. Wow.
