Both sets of my grandparents are from Cape Verde.
I was brought up in Cape Cod, Mass, but now reside in 
California. I attended the Cape Verdean festival in 
Washington, DC summer of 1995. Good to see some 
exposure for the motherland.

Hi Everyone,

I'm at work now and I enjoy reading the comments on the home page.
My parents are from Brava and I was born and live in NJ. I went to Cabo Verde
last year for the first time and met cousins I never knew I had. The islands are
beautiful. I can't wait to go again. Most of my family lives in RI & MASS.

Congratulations!!! to my cousin, Helder Silva a.k.a. Heavy H on
releasing his debut CD. It sounds great!!!

Any Cape Verdeans in the NY/NJ area??? E-mail me.

Bye for now.

I came across your terrific Home Page while searching for
information on Cape Verdean food and its history.
I believe that through a nation's food history and traditions
we learn its culture.

I would like titles of books and/or other web pages, if
anyone cares to respond. You may e-mail me (rlwalsh@
capecod.net) or leave word on this page. I will check
it every week or so.

Thanks very much and good luck with your Home Page!.

I'm thinking of making a trip to Cabo Verde next year (1997). Since I immigrated to Holland in 1975 (age 6) I never returned to visit my land of birth (Yes, I'm in deep shame over this). Now I live in Rotterdam I work as a Chemist at a company who also has a Inc. in the states (Bensalem about 100 KM from NY) This company makes analytical devices for the petrochemical industrie (GC’s) . Sometimes I visit my colleges in Bensalem, so you never now maybe I will visit Boston sometimes and then meet some of my fellow CV-ian’s.

I am very pleased to see Cabo Verde's Home page up on the internet !!!! Great job!!! This will increase the awareness of our small paradise. If you may need help in any way to expand information on Cabo Verde's home page, please e-mail me.

Hi!
I was a Peace Corps trainee in Cape Verde in July '94 and I really enjoyed what we learned in the 2 months that we were there. I am living near Boston now and I have been trying to find, I think it's called the Capeverdian Society, since I would love to do some English tutoring as well as keep my Portuguese going. I also am desperately trying to find out where in Boston I can do the funana?!!
I would love any responses!

Thanks!

Ola Whitney e Ashley

How are you doing?? Are you still learning about
the culture of Cabo Verde?? It is very different
from 'Merka don't you agree. My best friend is there,
working as a school teacher in Santiago. She is
going to see Splash this weekend. My favorite song
is 'Splash', I think it did originate in Cape Verde.
I like Philadelphia but I miss my family in Rhode Island.
Most of my family is in America, the rest is in Cabo Verde
and Portugal. My family is from Sta. Catarina. Do you
know where that is?? How about Angola?? Can you find
that on a map. That is where my brother and I were born.
I am sending some materials that will help your teacher
show you more 'cool' things about Cape Verde.

Continue to work hard in school. Take care

Tua Amiginha,
Ana Sofia

One last comment: On your home page, you have that Cabo Verde is AN ISLAND. It is not. It's an ARCHIPELAGO [ a large group or chain of islands] Please correct that mistake, because it tells a different story!!!

Greetings from Boston College. I'm a Cape verdean student @ BC and last
year I went to Cape Verde for the first time in my life. The Cape
Verdean Student Association here @ BC organized a one week community service
trip to Cape Verde, of which I was part of. I loved it!!!
Cape Verde is such a beautiful place !!! The people are so kind and nice.
I cried a lot when I was coming back. That was the best week of my life!!!
We are trying to go again this year. Check out the highlights of our trip
on our homepage. Any questions, comments or donations to the trip please e-mail me.

Hello to all the Cape Verdeans out there . I'm a proud Cape Verdean from Wareham , Mass , Richard I think this is a great web page ! I don't know if everyone else has this problem but the majority of people I meet don't have the slightest clue of where the Cape Verde Islands are or what it is. Pages like this can answer everyones question instead of me having to sit down with them and explaining. My uncle Ervin Russle is a photographer and writer for a Cape Verdean newspaper in Wareham which is also good to get our nationality wellknown.

sincerely,
Ty

I am a dutchman and married with a capeverdian lady.
We have 2 childeren all going well.
Have not yet read all yr pages, but seems nice.
This year she visited her parents on Santo Antao.
Also we regulary send packages to CV from Rotterdam.
In Rotterdam is a rather big group of CV'ans living
(12.000 is estimated by out mayor and his staff).
As there is a need of almost everything... there is a lot
to send...(searching for vessels to pass Rotterdam who pick
up the cargo cheap).
And therefore planning to set up a home page, but so damned
few CV'ans are interested in Rotterdam.
But i keep faith. By for now.

To mr Nuno Miguel do Rosario Lopes
(numilo@worldonline.nl)
Geachte heer Nuno,
Ik ben een Kaapverdiaan en ik woon in Rotterdam.
Ik ben op zoek naar mensen waarvan wij samen iets op internet kan zetten,
over de Kaapverdiaanse gemeenschap in Nederland.
Ik denk om een "Home page" te ga ontwikkelen die alle info op het gebied van
cultuur, sport en sociaal aspecten van de Kaapverdianen in Nederland, in kaart te brengen.
Hiervoor is de samenwerking van iedereen, vooral de Kaapverdianen, heel erg belangrijk.
Als je hierop aangesproken voelt, dan kan je met mij in contact komen over deze zelfde weg.

Al vast bedankt.

Vasco Cardoso.

My dad was born on Brava but myself and all my siblings were
born here. Sad to say, my Dad wanted us to be Americans first
so we never learned the language and never directly
participated in cultural events (but I sure grew up on the
the foods!!). Since his death I've been interested in
learning more about my history and culture.
The Home page is great!! Thanks for putting all this 
information out there. 
 
In addition, I'm always looking for relatives. If you think
you might be related to Aquinaldo DaSilver Lopes (son of 
Robert and Maria) who imigrated in 1959 to the South Shore
of Mass,drop me an e-mail.  I might be your cousin!

Hola.
A pprimeira parte desta mensagem ei de escrever em Portuges. Ja faz 11 anos que eu nao escrevi Portuges, por iso desculpe.
Eu acho que un home page de Cabo Verde e uma fonte de informacao que todos os Caboverdianos em todo o modo precisao.
Caboverdianos sao pesoas que vivem em toda a parte do mundo. E importante que podemos contactar ums com os outros.
En nu zal ik verder gaan in het Nederlands. Zijn er Cabverdianen die in Nederland wonen en met mij willen E-mailen, doe het alsjeblieft.
Groetjes.

Bedankt Poli

It is exciting that we from South Africa can finally reach
a country at the far end of West Africa.
I was recently at the Internet conference AFRICOM '96 in
Harare,Zimbabwe and what you are doing on the Net is exactly
what should be done.
Bringing Africa closer together and putting Africa on the
map in the rest of the world.

WORLD COME HERE. I ONLY KNEW A LITTLE ABOUT THE CAPE VERDE
ISLANDS, MAINLY FROM WATCHING THE IMPENDING STORMS COMING 
OFF THE COAST HEADING TOWARDS THE U.S. THE ISLANDS WERE
ALWAYS MENTIONED, BUT I NEVER KNEW MORE. SO I DECIDED TO 
LOOK IN TO IT. NICE HOME PAGE. YOUR ISLANDS SOUND WONDERFUL!
MAYBE SOME DAY I WILL FIND MY WAY THERE. THANKS FOR THE
INTERESTING INFORMATION. HOPE TO SEE YOU! :)

Ola all Cape Verdeans!! I Love this home page.
I was in Cape Verde in 1994, visiting my father's
home in Nova Sintra, Brava. Had a great time,
except that I can't speak Crioulo. It's so much more
beautiful than mainland or Brazilian Portuguese. Does
anyone know of any reading material that might help? Also,
I'm looking for informative reading material on Cape
Verdean history. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Obrigado!

Thank You for the comment you sent to us at Hill Freeman Middle 
school. I lived in Philadelphia all my life. I really like it 
here. I have live in Germantown. Pulaski 
town is my neighborhood. Do
you like it here in Philly or do you like Cape Verde better?
I think Cape Verde is peaceful but I think I like Philadelphia
better.Thanks a lot for the letter. tchau!!!

 Ola mi e Whitney Phillips de Hill-Freedman Middle School na Philadelphia.Nov.5th we  learned how to better our Creole and
Portuguese.
 I had fun comparing  the population of other countries to that of CapeVerde.,
 We also listened to CapeVerdian  music,and I am looking forward to
visiting the Cape Verdian Islands sometime before I go to college.
 The Cape Verdian way of living Is very interesting to me and I
hope I can meet Cape Verdians who can share the culture with me.

Ola mi e Ashley Blake de hill Freeman middle School na Philadelphia. Last week November 5, we learned some of the populations in 
Africa. We also learned how many islands Cape verde has. Cape 
verde has several small islands. 
.I think Cape Verde is a very interesting place to 
live in because it is very small and peaceful.

I served a mission in Cape Verde and loved every minute of it!  I'm most familiar with Sao Nicolau (Ribeira Brava), Assomada in Santiago as well as Praia. I also spent a little time in Mindelo.  I think of Cape Verde as my second home.  Although I don't speak fluently, I'm proud to be able to communicate in Creole and even have a sign on my desk at  the bank that says "Me ta fla Creole" just under "Yo hablo Espanol".  If I can ever find a girl that will put up with me, I'd love to take her on a honeymoon to the Islands.  I've still never seen Fogo!

purtroppo, non parlo la vostra lingua, ma sono comunque affascinato dalle vostre isole, anche se ne so' ben poco, se possibile vorrei conoscerle di piu' per fare poi un viaggio dove approfondire meglio la conoscenza di questi posti.Conosco un po la Tunisia, un po l'Algeria ed un po il Marocco, vorrei iniziare a spingermi verso il Sud, cominciando proprio dalle vostre isole.

I have lost my unreplacable CD:
Cap Vert, Les Racines (PS 65061)(Playasound in Paris).
The CD is sold out from the company. It contained a
rare recording with the "cimboa" and "Festa do Pilao" from
Fogo. Does anyone out there (here?) know where to find
another copy?

Tip for Norwegians: On NRK P2 the 9.th and 10.th of Dec.
on "Det flygende teppet",I will present somne folk music
from CV.

Tip for other people:
The new CD with Kode di Dona is not the same, but
interesting to the historically interested.Better for
modern ears is Paulino Vieira´s "Nha primero lar " (1996)
Lusafrica/Mélodie: 79859-2

Signing once more, just to tell you that I am going to make

on the Norwegian National Radio.

Cesaria is out, by the way, with a "live" CD on Melodie/
Lusafrica. This summer´s hit has been "Mandy" with the
Rabelados from Holland, and "Djosa" by Rui Last One from
Lisbon.

For more CDs from CV - you should check the LUSAFRICA - home

I love any information on Cabo Verde!  The various links from
this sight are great.  I spent the better part of a year there.
I lived on Santiago, Fogo, Mindelo, Sal, and Santo Antao.  I
loved it and would love to return.  I was there in 1991-1992.
If there are any Cabo Verdianos reading this that remember
"Elder" Hadlock, write me at the above email!  If there are any
of my old companions out there reading this, let me know where you
are!  Let's go back.  I'm free the Summer of 1998 (I'm in
Grad School right now and can't get away.)  
  Keep up the good work on the Cabo pages.  If I can find a scanner
I would be glad to send some pictures, if anyone is interested.
They're a little old but some are pretty cool anyway.
