Cape Verdean Women and Music Presentation
,Description
On July 3 at 1:30 p.m. 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 examines the many contributions of Cape Verdean descendent 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 recommended.
