Cape Verdean Women and Music Presentation

September 10, 2024 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Enjoy a presentation by second-generation, American-born Cabo Verdiana Candida Rose. She started singing Cape Verdean songs at the age of six and spent most of her childhood and teen years immersed in Cape Verdean/American culture. From Morna to CaboZouk and Doo-Wop to Hip Hop, Cape Verdean women have left their mark on music around the world. This presentation, "Kriolas di Muzika: Not Just for Men Anymore" examines the many contributions of Cape Verdean descendant women, especially in the United States, to the Cape Verdean and American music scenes in order to shed well-deserved light on some of their too little recognized accomplishments. This program is free for Members and included in admission for non-members. Registration is required.
