Die Kapverden - Sound der Sehnsucht (2023)
The Cape Verde Islands lie in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Senegal. Each island has its own charm and variety of landscapes to offer: from the dramatic volcanic landscapes to the green gardens of Sao Antão and the endless sandy beaches of Sao Vicente. The African archipelago captivates above all with its very own music, the “morna”, made famous worldwide by Cesária Évora. It is a kind of plaintive blues that touches the soul and tells of heartache, longing and the challenges of life. Évora is a great role model for the young singer Claudia. She is studying law, but dreams of a career on the big stage.
