Cape Verde is a country found in North west part of the African continent in the Central Atlantic Ocean. The country is one of the smallest in Africa with a total land coverage of only 4,000 square kilometers. It is made up of a total of 10 volcanic archipelagos, numerous beaches and also great for mountain trekking. The country is found around the Cap-Vert Peninsula around Senegal. 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…

That's because Cabo Verde and Brasil were former Portuguese colonies and they share very similar cultural features.

@salimerdem7544 2 года назад

@@guleiro dear guleiro, that is what I wanted to point out, the contraversy was the music was not like what you hear in Brasil, but more inclined to Cuban beats. I found that very interesting, because there must have been some culturally cross breeding at least on the musical front..

@guleiro 2 года назад

@@salimerdem7544 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.

They need greenhouse farming technology and water desalination technology to produce food for the country; importation of farm produce will be more expensive

@TheAfricanScript 2 года назад

Great solution. Btw, have you ever been to any West African country?

@sipotchitcha 2 года назад

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.

@@jetanimations -Big cities ….???? What do you mean ? What big city are you talking about? There is no such thing in Cape Verde. Praia is the capital, the biggest and it barely has a population of about 159,000 people. I would hardly call that a “big city.” It’s more of a big town rather than anything else. The whole country has 459,999 people and by most standards it’s considered a tiny place. It’s hard to believe that such a stark cultural contrast is possible despite the size of its geographical location and number of people who lives there.

Of course they were forced to move. The islands were a trading center for slaves.

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.

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.

There was no country before the Portuguese came because Cape Verde was not inhabited by humans. So in this case, they truly did discover new land. That's what was actually said in the video and can be verified in a few seconds online.

@@saschamaj some historians believe that some Africans had already visited the archipelago, but never settled (maybe for lack of resources of the archipelago). That’s why, tons of people believe that Portugal didn’t discover Cabo Verde.

You said Cabo Verde is an island nation. That means it's a part of Africa, but not on the continent. I'm aware of where Cape Verde is. It's a part of Macaronesia which includes The Azores, Madeira, and Canary Islands. The first 2 are a part of Portugal and the Canary Islands are a part of Spain. Some may say I'm being too technical, but nobody says Hawaii and Alaska are on the North American continent.

@CVDIASPORA 2 года назад

You must take this video down. Lots of footages that is not Cape Verde. You have many incorrect information, wrong facts. The Official language is not Portuguese creole because is not such thing a portuguese creole. The official language is kriolu di Cabo-Verde.

JEWS EXPELLED BY PORTUGAL TO WEST AFRICA: "King John II. in 1492,expelled all the Jews to the island of St.Thomas, which had been discovered in 1471, and to other Portuguese settlements on the continent of Africa; and from these banished Jews, the black Portuguese, as they are called, and the Jews in Loango, who are despised even by other Negroes, are descended.By these colonists, St.Thomas soon became a considerable place of trade, and valuable for its sugar plantations.Thirty years after their settlement, not less than one hundred and fifty-six thousand ar-robes(of thirty pounds weight each) of sugar were exported;and the engines of sixty sugar works,turned by slaves.These Negroes were purchased in Guinea, Congo, and Manicongo, and the colonists had plantations furnished with from one hundred and fifty to three thousand Negroe slaves." pg 141- The Critical Review: Or, Annals of Literature, Volume 57 - year 1784

My family has been to Cape Verde 2 times now. One in October 2019 and in November 2021. We been to Sal both times but in different hotels each time. It can be very windy sometimes. 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.

this wrong "6. Portuguese Creole. This is the official language. It has a blend of both Portuguese and African languages." we speak portugues as our official language and criol de cabo verde as second language....... not even a 100 kkkk"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." thats on Maio island "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." so thats make it 7 facts of cape verde island

Pet peeve... Never understood why the name is translated as Cape Verde in English and not Cape Green. Why only translate half the name? Why translate it at all? In Mexico, nobody translates Cabo San Lucas into Cape Saint Luke. Rio de Janeiro is not known as River of January. San Francisco isn't Saint Francis. Madeira isn't called Wood. Call Cabo Verde by it's proper name. Abraço.
