Diggin’ South lands on Cape Verde
It is said that Cape Verde’s cosmic sound owns its origins to a mysterious shipwreck of a merchant ship that was found stranded on São Nicolau island in 1968. Inside its containers many synths and electronic music instruments were found – they were later distributed in the island’s schools and formed a whole generation of musicians.
On Monday May 3rd Diggin South presents the second episode of Islands Sound, the series dedicated to the music of the islands. This episode will be entirely dedicated to the Capeverdian exodus: the economic crisis of the 60s and 70s brought a large portion of the population to abandon the archipelago towards the shores of Europe, where the traditional sounds of the archipelago such as Morna, Coladeira and Funana – at the time forbidden by the Portuguese colonial regime but still secretly played in the fields – would meet the synthetizers, giving birth to a unique and irresistible mix, today known as the “space sound” of Cape Verde.
