Morna and the islands' music
Morna — slow, melancholy songs of longing, sung in Kriolu — was added to UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage in 2019, and Cesária Évora, the barefoot diva of Mindelo, took it around the world. Funaná, coladeira and batuku are the dance side of the islands. More Cape Verdeans live abroad than at home, in Portugal, the Netherlands and New England, and the radio follows them. Portuguese radio, African radio and zouk and kompa radio go further.
