Os Tubarões – Pépé Lopi
Os Tubarões 1976

5

Good morning, a group about which we only find some
summary information is this one from the Cape Verdean
Islands. Funny thing is that I found it in Lisbon, Portugal,
but discovered it was recorded in my hometown, Hilversum
in the Netherlands. One way or the other Os Tubarões (the
Sharks) played various styles from ‘Cabo Verde’, funaná,
tabanka, morna and coladera. This is their first album
from 1976. Listen to the mellow music of Os Tubarões ..

Goeiemorgen, een groep over wie we slechts wat summiere
informatie vinden is deze uit de Kaap Verdische eilanden.
Grappig is dat ik de plaat heb gevonden in Lissabon, Portugal,
maar ontdekte dat hij is opgenomen in mijn thuisplaats
Hilversum. Hoe dan ook, Os Tubarões (de Haaien) speelden
diverse stijlen uit Kaap verdië, funaná, tabanka, morna en
coladera. Dit is hun eerste album uit 1976. Luister naar
de relaxte muziek van Os Tubarões ..

Voz de Cabo Verde – Partida
Edição de Casa Silva 1967

1

Cape Verdean band founded in Rotterdam, Netherlands in 1966. Their
repertoire included Cape Verdean music such as the coladera and morna,
American and European pop and rock, as well as Colombian cumbia,
Dominican merengue, and Cuban guaracha. The original members were
Luis Morais (Saxophone & Clarinet), Morgadinho (Trumpet, Vocals, Bass),
Frank Cavaquinho (Drums), Jean Da Lomba (Bass Guitar), and Toy Ramos
(Guitar). They were later joined by the singer Diosinha and organist Chico
Serra in 1968. The original band split up in 1970 after a second tour in Angola.
Some of the members immigrated to the United States and France. In Portugal
the group Voz De Cabo Verde carried on in name, but with different members,
recording several albums throughout the 1970s, but
with a completely different sound. (Discogs)

Bana – Gardénia
Discos Mindelo 1985

1

bana-front

Één van de meest mellow muziekstijlen vind ik ‘morna’ van de Kaap
Verdische Eilanden. Echt een soundje voor bij het zwoele weer van
de afgelopen dagen. Bana is een van de meesters op dit terrein.
Luister naar ‘Gardénia’ uit 1985..

One of the most mellow styles in music is ‘morna’ to my humble opinion.
It is from the Cape Verdian Islands and fits perfectly with the sultry type
of weather from the past days. Bana is one the masters in the field.
Listen to ‘Gardénia’ from 1985..

Bana e Conjunto Voz de Cabo verde – Teresa
Discos Monte Cara 1980

bana-front

Ik zit af en toe weg te dromen op het idee verre reizen
te maken. Landen als Cabo Verde staan op de verlanglijst en als
ik dan wat van die morna opzet komen de gedachten aan lome
warmte, verlaten stranden, niets te moeten, hè..lekker idee..
Met Conjunto Voz de Cabo Verde & Luis Morais.

Often I’m dreaming about travelling to distant countries, tropical
destiny’s. Places like Cabo Verde are on my wishlist and if I play
some of this here morna thoughts of lazy afternoons on desolate
beaches and such enter my mind. The idea of not having to do
anything, oh lovely.. With Conjunto
Voz de Cabo Verde & Luis Morais.

Bana & Luiz Morais, voorkant

We hadden tot nu toe slechts één plaatje van de Kaap Verdische
eilanden, van de hand van Cesaria Evora. Vandaag voegen we er
eentje aan toe. Het Conjunto van Luiz Morais zorgt voor de kalme
instrumentatie en Bana voor de vokalen. Heerlijk mellow spul
voor de zomeravonden. Luister en geniet van
‘Nha Terra Cabo-Verde’..

We had us only one record from the Cape Verdian Islands so far,
from the hand of Cesaria Evora. Today we can finally add one.
Luiz’ Morais Conjunto takes care of the mellow instrumentation

perfect for an easy summer evening. Listen and enjoy..
