Mindelo Cultural Center

Cultural Expression in Cape Verde

The forms of expression of Cape Verdeans, whether through music, dance, painting, acting, or other forms of art, are important because they reflect the way people think, and the way they interpret the world.

Over time Cape Verde has created great names in several areas: singers like Bana, Cesária Évora, who has a museum named after her, or Tito Paris; percussionists like the traditional drummers; painters like Kiki Lima, among other illustrious people in other areas.
