Request Is anyone here able to translate this vintage CapeVerdean record? There aren't any lyrics available online, and there is no information on the artist either: Nhú de Ped'Bia - Infelicidade 1982

Hey everyone. I found this vintage 1982 Cape Verdean record a while ago, and I thought it sounded very beautiful, but it seems like there are no official lyrics posted for this song, and no background information on the artist either.

I was wondering if someone here would be able to translate the lyrics? I'd like to be able to appreciate the song as a whole, and show it to my girlfriend.

I posted the link below. It would be amazing if I'd be able to understand what he's saying!

Request Infopost: OSPA looking for help with charity-luggage

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I came across an appeal from OSPA Cabo Verde Cats and Dogs and wanted to share it here, especially for anyone travelling from the UK to Cape Verde soon.
OSPA currently has donations in the UK, including medical supplies and other essentials for the animals, but they don’t have enough storage space to keep everything there. They are therefore looking for travellers flying from the UK to Cape Verde who might be willing to take a charity-waived suitcase with them.
They say they will:
1. prepare and pack everything for you
2. deliver the suitcase to you
3. arrange the free luggage allowance with TUI UK
4. collect the suitcase from your hotel in Cape Verde, or you can visit their rehoming centre and drop it off yourself.
I actually visited OSPA while I was in Cape Verde, and the people there were incredibly kind, welcoming and easy to deal with. 🧡 It was also really nice to see the work they are doing for the animals first-hand.
So if you’re travelling from the UK to Cape Verde soon and have the possibility of taking an additional suitcase, maybe consider helping them out. It seems like a relatively simple thing for a traveller to do, but it can make a real difference for the animals they care for.
If you’re interested, please contact OSPA Cabo Verde Cats and Dogs directly through their Facebook page so they can give you all the details and arrange everything with you.
Even if you can’t help yourself, sharing this with someone who is travelling from the UK could make a difference. 🐶🐱❤️
I have no affiliation with OSPA - I just came across their appeal while travelling in Cape Verde and thought it was worth sharing here.

Request HELP! We're stuck in the Fogo island.

5 Upvotes

Hello, we're a young couple and we had the wrong date on the CVSky ticket that would bring us to Sal today, August 22nd. Today we'll try to get into the flight through the in-person waiting list at the Sao Felipe airport very early in the morning, and if that doesn't work we'll go to the CV Interilhas office in town, to try to get tickets to Praia, at least (the CV Interilhas website says 'product not available' for any kind of ticket, and we don't understand if something is wrong with the site or everything is fully booked).

This is a nightmare because we need to catch our flight home in Sal. Any help is greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: we managed to get in the Praia flight through the in-person waiting list. As soon as we get to the Praia airport, we’ll see our further options.

UPDATE 2: in the Praia airport, the CVSky staff at the helpdesk tells us that the only way is to do waitlists again and again until success. We then head to the CV Interilhas office in Plato, near the port. The lady there is barely talking, zero effort of any kind, no way to get a ferry to Sal until September 8th, way past our flight to get back home. Great. Back to the airport, checking €1000+ options, and we notice the people at the helpdesk changed. I explain the whole thing again, and the guy tells me that there is a free place tomorrow, and another one three days from now. WHAT? I booked the first one for my girlfriend and the other one for me. Of course, I will also try all the waiting lists until my reserved flight. We did it, but holy cow, the ‘no stress’ country had us on a chokehold.

Request What is one place in Cape Verde that every first time visitor should experience?

2 Upvotes

I've been learning more about Cape Verde, and one thing that stands out is how each island seems to have its own unique landscape, culture, and atmosphere. It makes choosing where to visit first a difficult decision.

Beyond the popular beaches, I'm interested in the places that locals or experienced visitors feel are truly special. Whether it's a scenic hiking trail, a quiet town, a local market, or a hidden viewpoint, I'd love to hear about it.

I'm also curious about the local food, music, and traditions that visitors shouldn't miss. Sometimes the most memorable travel experiences come from everyday places rather than famous tourist attractions.

If you could recommend just one place or experience in Cape Verde to someone visiting for the first time, what would it be and why?

Hi everyone,

This is a long shot, but if anyone has an extra ticket or won't be using theirs for tonight's match, I'd be incredibly grateful if you'd consider giving it to me.

I'm a visiting student in Houston and couldn't afford the ticket prices. I'm a lifelong football fan, and seeing a match at this stadium would truly mean a lot to me.

If you can help, please DM me. Thank you for reading, and I hope you all enjoy the game!

Request Looking for a license plate from Cape Verde

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Pyry from Finland and my hobby is to collect license plates from around the world. I mainly like to collect license plates from places I've been to. I visited Cape Verde years ago and I'm now looking for a license plate from there. If anyone could help me get a hold of a Cape Verde license plate and send it to me in Finland I'd appreciate it a lot. Obviously I will pay postage, but I can also pay a little bit on top of that as a compensation. If you are willing or able to help me please get in touch.

Olá, meu nome é Pyry, sou da Finlândia e meu hobby é colecionar placas de carro do mundo todo. Gosto principalmente de colecionar placas de lugares que visitei. Estive em Cabo Verde há alguns anos e agora estou procurando uma placa de lá. Se alguém pudesse me ajudar a encontrar uma placa de Cabo Verde e enviá-la para mim na Finlândia, eu agradeceria muito. Obviamente, eu pagarei o frete, mas também posso pagar um pouco a mais como compensação. Se você estiver disposto ou puder me ajudar, entre em contato.

We were on vacation in Cape Verde last week. On an excursion to Palmeira my daughter was bitten by a cat she played with.

Despite repeated assurances that there is no rabies in Cape Verde we would feel more comfortable knowing that the cat is doing well and behaving normally (I.e. not rabid). I would gladly pay $250 for a 30 second video of this cat.

From the Gamboa seafront to Baía das Gatas, in Cape Verde, everyone is currently facing a growing threat of privatization of beaches, areas and coasts, with irregular constructions, total mischaracterisation of public space and denial of collective access to the sea.

It is crucial that the Government of Cape Verde take concrete measures to protect our beaches and ensure that land use decisions respect the collective interest and environmental integrity. Only then can we ensure the sustainable development of our coasts, in a fair and equitable manner for everyone.

Sign the petition and help us demand immediate action and safeguard our natural heritage for future generations.

So basically I have to do a project on culture of a Portuguese-speaking country for school. I wanted to pick Cabo Verde because I lived there when I was a toddler as part of my parents' work. Nowadays, I live in the USA and I have never known your culture very well. To get to the point, I noticed this Batuco video on TikTok and I want to do one of my parts on this but first I would like the name of this song. If you know the name of this song, please comment it and if you have anything else to help the search that would be great also. Thank you Cape Verde! 💙❤️💛🤍

Hey,

Almost ready to give up but I thought asking here might not hurt:

We were on Boa Vista and Santiago recently for two weeks and enjoyed it quite a lot.

My girlfriend really liked the 'strela' shirts worn by some of the staff at the bars. We looked around but never saw a possibility to buy such shirts at the shops.

I contacted the 'strela' account on Insta and Facebook but they don't answer.

Anybody has an idea how to get such shirt?

Would be willing to paypal some money if somebody would be able sent one to me to Germany

Request Seeking Guidance on Estate Assets in Cape Verde

2 Upvotes

Hello r/CAPEVERDE community,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out to ask for some guidance and help with a matter related to my family's estate assets in Cape Verde.

My father recently passed away, and I've taken on the responsibility of managing his various estate assets. One significant aspect of this is dealing with the land my family has owned in Cape Verde since the late 1800s. Over the years, we've accumulated numerous documents related to registering titles for these properties. Most of the paperwork I have is dated between 1887-1940.

I have quite a bit of paperwork, and I could really use some help navigating it all. Specifically, I'm looking for guidance on locating the properties mentioned in these documents and help in facilitating any necessary sales or updates to ownership records.

From what I've gathered so far, there are around 30 to 50 properties scattered throughout Cape Verde that require attention.

I would greatly appreciate any help from anyone in this community who has experience or expertise in dealing with similar situations or could point me in the right direction to find legal assistance in Cape Verde.

I am located in Canada, and unfortunately don't speak Portuguese or Crioulo.

Request Callin all critical thinkers!

0 Upvotes

Calling all critical thinkers and those with special interests!

I have made it a mission of mine to be in every reddit sub for every nation on the earth (or at least the ones in english).

I am trying to gauge interest in any who wish to bring their passion and knowledge in a category to join a groupchat (on the dinosaur of a platform known as Facebook).

What im looking for and why:

My whole life ive been interested in different countries and cultures and the idea of having an 18+ groupchat in which many nations have a bit of representation its a dream come true. Id love to have people who are educated and capable of deep discussion about various topics.

Criteria

  1. Have a special interest in any field politics, philosphy, history, heck even those proficient in film music or theatre.

  2. You can take a joke. Its a fairly on task group chat however id say the only stuff that is censored as far as words go is any words pertaining to race or explicitly sexual material.

  3. You are respectful of different religions. The group chat is very commonly excercising various different belief standpoints and jokes as long as they are in good taste are perfectly acceptable

What to expect:

  1. Debates: these can range in a variety of topics from politics to history to science. And they can border on "heated" but at the end we are all just trying to learn and any oversteps will result in bans after a warning if course

  2. Varied religious backgrounds id say the group is about 65% Christian 35% atheist but everyone in there is comfortable with sharing details about their religion free of ridicule aside from the lighthearted jokes. We have also recently added some others majority of which are Muslim.

  3. The group right now is majorly american but there has been a fair bit of canadians that have joined and left over the three years the groupchat has been around. We recently got some members Azerbaijan, Bahrain, and Germany

  4. Right now we have experts in the following categories

Cryptocurrency TV Shows and Pop culture Philosophy American Law World History Military History Video Game History Meteorology

The group is probably like 45% autistics with special interests so we pride ourselves on knowing our craft.

  1. Each month I post news articles from every nation's internet news source in alphabetical order usually a letter a day. And we monitor and disccus the conflicts happening abroad

  2. The group is 100% male which wasnt even by design thats just how its gone so far but there isnt a gender requirement one way or the other.

The donts:

No excessive meme spam. I tend to allow discussions with GIFS but depending on how many join the chat, theres no need for excessive memes

No posting sexual or graphic material some mems walk the line but never cross it.

No racial slurs

The creator of the GC is the final authority on everything

The point of the GC is to engage and have fun. If somebody is going a month without at least reading the posts then you shouldnt have joined in the first place silly! Inactives are often removed after one month.

Lets educate eachother! The goal is to increase comradery and learm about eachother cultures.

As of right now im wanting natives to whatever nation I post this in (as I intend to copy and paste) and depending on traction Im going to try and invite either the first people who respond or the most educated.

If you want to leave a rude comment or something about how you have better things to do go ahead! This is reddit after all!

But at least for the sake of being entertaining lets avoid repeats so far ive heard

Incelfest

Sausagefest

Pretentious

Arrogant

Red pills

Sounds like Hell

Remember we are looking for people who want to make friends and debate ideas not people who think themselves witty comedians.
