    Hello, My name is Sandy. I think I'm the only Cape Verdian living in Miami. I've been here for five years and I havent meet a Cape verdiean yet. I just wanted to let you know how happy I am to see us people on the net. I just wish that they were more Cape Verdians that I can relate to here in Miami.
    I'm currently in Graduate school for elemantary education, I really want to work with Cape verdian children. I guess I would need to move back to my home town in Ma to be able to do that.
    Well I just wanted to let you know that there is a Cape Verdian in sunny Miami.

    I REALLY ENJOYED SOME OF THE THINGS ON THIS WEBSITE. THE ONLY COMMENT I HAVE IS THAT YOU SHOULD AT LEAST SHOW PICTURES OF THE OLD FLAG AS WELL AS THE NEW. MY OPINION ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS IS THAT THE OLD FLAG WAS A LOT BETTER AT REPRESENTING CAPE VERDEANS AS A PEOPLE THAN THE NEW ONE. WE ALL KNOW THE ONLY REASON THE NEW FLAG IS HERE IS BECAUSE CABO VERDE WANTS TO LOOK GOOD IN EUROPE'S AND AMERICA'S EYES. WHEN THE THINGS WE SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT IS HOW WE LOOK IN OUR OWN EYES.

    What's up To all my C.V's out there. I would like to
    give a strong shout out to the Umass Amherst CVSA for thier
    wonderful Cape Verdean Cultural event held this previous
    weekend. The event was a beautiful display of the Cape Verdean youth
    taking pride in themselves and expressing thier heritage. Also i would
    like to give a strong shoutout to all other CVSA's who partook in the activities.
    Events like this are what the Cape verdean youth must continue to do
    to not only prove to ourselves and our elders that we are a productive
    force in society but that can also be our medium to prove it to the world.
    Once again thank you to the Umass Amherst CVSA, hope to work with you soon
    lots of love my brothers and sisters. Also a little message to my brother from another mother
    Wal Gee, damn dog it took me few years to see what you were getting at but I see now
    Thanks for your friendship throughout the years and lets keep it real for the rest
    of our lives one love Criolo Di Angola Do your thang. Well talk soon enough. Im out

    Could anyone tell me when is the 'Baia Das Gatas' musical festival taken place this year. As far as I've known, the previous ones took place during the first week of August, but I've heard this year it's gonna be the last week of Aug. Not exactly sure, so I would appreciate very much if someone could clarify this for me. I'm planning to go this summer to experience the festivities for the first time...

    Cheers, from Ottawa, Canada

    Just want to enter my name in the visitor's book and see what will happen. Maybe someone will recognize the name and e-mail me back. I use to live in Newport, Rhode Island. My mother's maiden name was Andrews/Andrade. Her parents were Manuel and Alice Andrews. I know some of the history of her family but need to make sure I'm clear on the island they came from. My grandparents have passed and so has my mother. I wish I had paid more attention when they would talk about their family, but it wasn't important then. I'm very interested in learning more about my family. Maybe someone can help. I've been in touch with one of my counsins and she told me about a Cape Verdean Organization in Southern California that she belongs to. She sent me a copy of their newsletter. I found it very interesting and also recognized some of the names of islands they talked about. I live in Coppell, which is about 20 mins or so from Dallas, Tx and would like to know if there might be a Cape Verdean Organization in this area or close by. I also have two cousins who visited Fogo. Their names are Tim and David Johnson. They also visited Mosteiros. They wrote a article about their visit. It was really interesting. Would love to hear from fellow Cape Verdeans.

    Hello to all my beautiful Cape Verdean people. It's been awhile since I last visited the CV webpage. I remain delighted each and every time I visit our web page(thanks to the creators at UMASS) Lastly I would like to leave some words of wisdom to Rumbush Crew, Star Blunt, My CV's at UCONN(Raheim, Los, Lino, Luis, SCSU (Anna, Rita, Odie, Julie, Elizbeth, Eli) and I can't forget the family back in the Port, Mona, Will, Romphus, Jose, Jorge. We live continous struggles in concrete jungles. Some of us don't even see sands expire from our eternal clock, while brother kills brother over a one square block. Constant inflation, corporations yield price fixation, giving us no time for relaxation, let's all unite to stop our peoples rising rate of incarceration...
    Love,

    Hello to visitors to this site. I wish you well in all your endevours and trust 1999 is presenting you will much joy and excitement. It is with high hopes that I will find more of my grandfather's origins through this page. If you can enlighten me please get in touch. My grandfather was Christopher DE WOTTE. This may not be the right spelling as I have been informed. He was born in BRAVA 1856 and lived in the COOK ISLANDS of the South Pacific. His father was ANTONI and his mother was ARASENA. There were many members in his family. But he was a long way from his birthplace. I am attempting to locate people from Brava who may be able to help. If you know of anyone that may be able to tell me what to do about finding information, please get in touch with me. Thank you to the people making this site available. Thank you to all who respond to my plea. As we say in our islands, Kia Orana, Kia Manuia. Mereana.

    Greetings Brothers and Sisters,
    It is a pleasure to know that you all are helping those back home who so desperately need our assistance. It is true: that once I was in the same predicament. Unfortunately, coming here at a young age and experiencing racism, I had to put about thinking about this serious problem. At Umass/Amherst, the majority of Cape Verdeans could not understand the deep impact of racism on the African heritage people here and felt the proclaiming our blackness or rather Africanness negated our Cape Verdeanness. I have come to realized that they are sadly mistaken and they we here in the USA must forged links with other Black folk here as well as the motherland itself; particularly, Cabo Vere. The Nos Ku Nos mentality is too isolationist and a psychological complex due to our geographical location and our particular history. Anyway, it my hope that we can return to the source, Africa, as Amilcar Cabral emphasized to rid of the colonial mentality. Now we face the danger of a neo-colonial mentality the resultant of the lusotropicalism propaganda used by Salazar, Caetano, and the other lackeys of the colonial and neocolonial domination. I feel that there are a lot of symtomps of our psychological complex due to the ravages of colonialism and the advent of neocolonial, that Frantz Fanon was so brilliant in examining, that we have not taken a serious examination, at least, from my humble opinion, experience, and the limitations of my knowledge base. Just like the rest of Africa, the official used by the government is the colonizer's language.
    Nevertheless, I commend all those who have given their time, ideas, and energy to helping those Cabo Verdianas back home the chance to realize their dormant or latent capabilities. Let's just vibe so more on our psychological complex a little more.
    A luta Continua
    Lumumba Shabaka

    Sou alemão e um amigo de Cabo Verde. Já fui três vezes visitar
    as ilhas e penso voltar outra vez para ver também as ilhas de
    Maio e S. Nicolão que ainda não conheco. Em 1993 conheci um
    Caboverdeano na Ilha de Brava que encontrei em seguida outras
    vezes em Praia /Santiago e em Mindelo /S. Vicente. Ali em Mindelo
    ele quis instalar um palco/teatro no antigo edifcio da Alfândega.
    Parece-me que ele estava a trabalhar para o ministério de Cultura de
    Cabo Verde nessa altura. Gostaria muito ter a sua direcção e
    notícias dele.

    Hello fellow CV's! Everyone seems to forget about us Cape Verdeans
    on the West Coast. We ARE here! We also very spread out, and that
    makes it hard to keep up with one another. I will soon be posting a
    CV web page (class project), so if you have anything that might be of
    interest, please contact me. I would especially like to have pictures
    of CV people, and pictures of the islands.
    Hope to go there soon myself!

    I am a 3rd year medical student who would very much like to do a
    rotation at one of the hospitals in Cabo Verde.
    I need a physician sponsor. Please e-mail me if you know of any
    physicians in Cabo Verde who would be willing to help me. Thanks!

    Well folks John Pina Thimas is at it again with his most interesting Tales of Caboverdeans from Cabo Verde to United States.

    Check him out on( Capeverdean.com ).

    Hey John do you remember any storie about the Casa Nova and the
    P.A.C.( Portuguese American Club) Hey about the time we went to caddy for the rich folks; working on the railroad and all the construction work we did,could not speak English but worked our ass off. Hey about Tuninu Boka Largu the violin player and Nho Lin from Marion. Hey do remember any stories of Nho Manne Fakinu( Manny Liitle Knife) The White looking CaboVerdean man with the handle bar moustach. Hey how about those who made moon shine -White Lighting we called it Grogo.In the back wood behind some cranberry bog.

    Continue with your stories man. Hey John remember those two caboverdean brothers who went to Boston to live at a early age.
    Went from being a Cabo Verdean to colored to Negro then joined the Black muslims. Thatt a story in itself. Do not use real names some of them are still alive.
    I think you are being talked about as winning the Cabo verdean Pultzer Prize for story telling in the 20th century. Hey John what Island were your folk from? Is it true that you graduated from University Of Fogo;please explain that to us.

    I also understand it was you who got Jimmy Carter elected to the Presidency. What about your 3 years in the Army and in Germany in the Costabulary and all the racism you incountered.

    Excuse me,Excuse me!

    Please can any one tell me if we still have a Embassy and a staff in Washington DC. I have requested on many occasions some information,not once have they ever responded. I check into the matter and have been told by many that they have the same problem.

    Is their some way this can be corrected, It is common courtesy to at least let people know that you got their mail. I have said many times
    information is education. If the Caboverdean people are not informed how can we have unity. What I was told by a dear and good Caboverdean they don't want to be bothered unless money is involved;I DO NOT CHOOSE TO THINK THAT;I hope that I am proven wrong.

    If any one will take the time to read The CaboVerdean Constitution;article 7 (task of The State) they do have a responsibility to the CaboVerdean people here in the United Staes Of America.

    Here we take democracy very serious. If we do have an Embassy please let us get our act together if we in fact want UNITY IN OUR STRUGGLE.

    I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME TO QUOTE FROM ARTICLE7.
    LETTER (G) FOR OUR EDIFICATION.

    " TO SUPPORT THE CAPEVERDEAN COMMUNITY WORL-WIDE AND TO PROMOTE IN ITS MIDST THE PRESERVATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CAPEVERDEAN CULTURE"

    I THANK ALL IN ADVANCE AND BE HAPPY TO READ YOUR COMMENTS.

    BROTHER SALAH.

    Hi Fellow Cape Verdeans,
    I'm in the U.S. Air Force stationed in England. I'm from Cape Cod. I am very interested in finding more about my families background. My grandfather Anibal J. Lopes came from Cape Verde in the 1800's and settled on the Cape. He worked with the railroad and later owned and harvested various cranberry bogs. My mothers parents who are Perry's also from Cape Verde. I'd be interested in hearing from any other Lopes'who may be distant cousins. Great site! Cape Verdeans Unite!

    Também vi o filme "Fintar o destino" na viagem de avião da TAP da Ilha do Sal para Lisboa em 31 de Março deste ano. É um filme emocionante. Devo dizer que durante a exibição houve um silêncio total no avião e senti que ficàmos impressionados pela força desse destino que é o sonho de uma vida melhor e a realidade que nos esmaga.
    A luta dos Kabuverdianos por uma vida melhor é merecedora da nossa admiração, respeito e solidariedade.

    Adoro esta página, pessoal. Aqui "nô djunta mon". Adoro sítios onde se pode
    utilizar crioulo. Nasci em Lisboa, mas os meus pais são de Vila Nova de Sintra
    (Brava). Adoro Cabo Verde. Gostaria de protestar contra certas burocracias
    que, em meu entender, são uma das principais causas do atraso em que
    se encontra Cabo Verde. Exemplificando, um primo meu que é construtor
    em Portugal, quis investir em Cabo Verde em infraestruturas turísticas
    e pediu que lhe concedessem a classificação de investidor externo (para usufruir
    de benefícios fiscais). Toda a gente lhe dizia que sim... e depois não
    conseguia nada !!! Acabou por desistir de voltar a Cabo Verde.
    Gostaria de protestar contra as pessoas que não fazem e nem deixam fazer !!!

    Last night my son and daughter took me to see a special film at the
    Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City,
    "FINTAR O DESTINO" / Dribbling Fate. What a FANTASTIC experience!
    The 82 minute feature length film was completed by a young
    Portuguese director Fernado Vendrell in 1997. The action
    takes place in Mindelo, Sao Vicente and Lisboa. It's a story
    about coming to terms with the disappointed dreams of youth.
    The film was awarded the Grand Prize at the 1998 Naples Film Festival.
    The Cape Verdean Institute for Film (Praia) cooperated in the production
    of the film. All of the actors were essentially non-professionals. Local
    musician Carlos Germano, was the lead actor. The direction is beautifully
    understood throughout; even in the quietest scenes, one is always
    aware of the powerful emotional currents running just below the
    surface.
    For me, this film accurately captures the subtleties, complexities
    and contradictions of a slice of the Cape Verdean experiece. The
    actors were all Cape Verdeans, they spoke in the Crioulo of Sao Vicente,
    virtually any Cape Verdean could relate to the characterizations.
    One comes away "not feeling sorry" for anyone in the movie but deeply
    moved by the strength of each character and the shere power of the
    Cape Verdean landscape/seascape on which this story is told. Me and
    my kids came away from the flick filled with that very special and
    satifying pride that comes from the knowledge that one has just
    been deeply touched by an encounter with the "morbeza de nos povo."
    CONGRATULATIONS to everyone involved in the production! I asked the
    director about distribution plans and he told me that they are only
    now beginning to talk to distributors in Portugal but hoped that one
    day the film would be available at least for showings in our immigrant
    communities in the USA.
    The film played to a packed house at the Museum on its "one night
    stand". My daughter came across the notice in the NY Times by accident.
    I didn't seen another CV in the place. The Museum officials said they
    didn't know that there was a CV community in greater New York, etc. etc.
    blah, blah!
    If anyone ever gets word of the reappearance of this film or other works
    of particular interests to Cape Verdeans, don't hold back!! Post the
    information on the home page and tell your friends.

    What up to all my Cape Verdean people around the world.
    Especially those who choose to take all the right steps in the advancement of our culture. As of recent it seems that Cape Verdeans have obtained a reputation as being unproductive towards society. Frankly I also feel that there are some individuals as a matter of fact many who help to defame our character. Myself at times included among the many.The key is to realize that you can be a positve representation of your culture. How first you must ask of yourself what direction would I like to point my country towards. You the individual can decide whether you would like to be involved politically or socially towards the advancement of Cape Verde whether Domestic or abroad. it is also you who are responsible for setting the proper examples for our youth to follow. Last you must realize that it takes a special person to be Cape Verdean and realize that you are that special person. On that note I have a special message to all Cape Verdeans "I love you" No djunta mon E lavanta nos povo. Quoted from our great Revolutionary leader Amilcar Cabral.

    Manera Nha Gentes,
    I love this web site. It lets alot of non-Cape Verdeans have the
    chance to know more about Cabo Verdianos and the culture. I was born here in America
    but my whole family come s from C.V. originally Brava, Fogo, and some
    from Sao Vicente. I speak the language and everything. I'm proud to be
    Cape Verdean American and I think all of us should represent to da fullest
    even those who are only half C.V.

    Hi Richard and all my Cape Verdean friends. This is my first time visiting this homepage with my own e-mail address and this site is an excellent resource for CV's and others around the world.
    Iwould love to exchange information about "my" island - Brava. I have not been there yet but have heard so much about it. Does anyone have a picture they can send me? As Vice President of the Taunton Cape Verdean Association, I am assisting with a display table of life on Brava. We are holding a Cultural Awareness Day named LEMBRANCA (many of you have heard of it already--or even attended last year's) on April 24th and it would be great to share ideas for displaying Brava in all of its beauty. Thanks, in advance.
    Ron

    I'm traveling to Cabo Verde in July and would like to find some
    information concerning luggage taxes, and 'issues'. By 'issues'
    I'm reffering to the recent problems of 'disappearing' luggage.
    I would like to know the weight limit for carry-on luggage
    (so that this doesn't become a problem) and anyway I can
    make sure that my luggage gets transported on the same flight I travel
    on (seems luggage 'disappears' when they are transported on different
    flights). Any links to Cabo Verde
    airport safety and regulations would be
    greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have been trying to locate information on my Grandfather, Antonio Gomes without little or no success. A response from the National Archives gives me an Antonio Gomes (16) from Mate, Brava arriving via the Diana on May 14, 1913 in New Bedford, MA. HE and a Jose Martin SIlva were going to their "aunt" Maria Gonsalves Tgnacis (spelling not clear) on 37 S 2nd Street, New Bedford. Could not find Maria Gonsalves in the 1920 Soundex, but now realize that I needed to look under the married name Tgnacis (another trip to the Archives is due). According to a 1925 NY State Census states that Antonio arrived here in 1915 at age 15 but I have not been able to document that. I am told that he died between 1935-38 in Roxbury, but believe that he actually died in Freeport, NY where he married and had 3 children. Though the children were raised by a maternal relative after the death of his wife in 1929. No other information is known and I would like to make the Antonio from Brava mine, but need more documentation Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you. NAY MILES
