About Me |
|
| Cape Verde was uninhabited when the Portuguese arrived in 1460 and made the islands part of the Portuguese empire.
Due to its location off the coast of Africa, Cape Verde became an important watering station, then sugar cane plantation site,
and later a major center of the slave trade.In 1975, the islands achieved independence, partly due to the efforts of the African Party for the Independence
of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde (PAIGC). After independence, the PAIGC attempted to unite Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau into one nation,
the PAIGC controlling both governments, but a coup in the latter nation in 1980 ended these plans. In Cape Verde itself the PAICV
(affiliated with the PAIGC) governed until democratic elections, held in 1991, resulted in a change of government.
The Movimento para a Democracia (MPD) won that election. The MPD was re-elected in 1996. The PAICV returned to power in 2001,
and were re-elected in 2006.Cape Verde is in the subtropical zone. Average temperatures range from 24°C (75°F) in January and February to 29°C (85°F) in September.
The average annual rainfall for Cape Verde is 68.4 mm, with September being the wettest month with 33.6 mm.
Conversely, the months April to July record less than one millimetre of rainfall each. The climate is arid,
but Cape Verde's position in the Atlantic contributes to soften the aridity, that otherwise would be the same aridity that in continental areas.Cape Verde is a small nation that lacks resources and has experienced severe droughts.
Agriculture is made difficult by lack of rain,and is restricted to only four islands for most of the year.
Most of the nation's GDP comes from the service industry.
Cape Verde's economy has grown since the late 1990s, and it is now considered a country of average development.
Cape Verde has significant cooperation with Portugal at every level of the economy,
leading it to link its currency first to the Portuguese escudo, and, in 1999, to the euro.The culture of Cape Verde reflects its mixed African and Portuguese roots. It is well known for its diverse
forms of music such as Morna and the urban Angolan kizomba, and a wide variety of dances: the soft dance Morna,
and its modernized version, passada, the Funaná - a sensual mixed Portuguese and African dance, the extreme
sensuality of coladeira, and the Batuque dance. These are reflective of the diverse origins of Cape Verde's residents.
The term "Cabo" is used to refer to residents as well as the culture of Cape Verde.Cape Verde's official language is Portuguese. It is the language of instruction and official acts. However,
the Cape Verdean Creole is used colloquially. It is a dialect continuum of a Portuguese-based creole, which varies from island to island.
There is a substantial body of literature in Creole, especially in the Santiago Creole and the São Vicente Creole.
Creole has been gaining prestige since the nation's independence from Portugal.
However, the differences between the different forms of the language within the islands, have been a major obstacle
in the way of standardization of the language. Some people have advocated the development of two standards: a North
(Barlavento) standard, centered on the São Vicente Creole, and a South (Sotavento) standard, centered on the Santiago Creole.
