I’m Cape Verdian and African and I love my African brothers and sisters. Don't judge us by the opinions of some people. That is not the opinion of the entire population.
I've been living in Cape Verde 6 years. I learned to speak Creole and it changed everything. As a white man speaking the language it opened many doors. Best and cheapest seafood is found at the fish market. 1kg of tuna €6.
16:50 @WillieFungo She literally said most of us Cape Verde women think we are not African😅 Not only is she African, but they were transported there and dumped by the Portuguese, ok? Her ancestors were slaves in a transit port, that's it.
@@SIGSAUER_P320 If she wanted to say she wasn't african, she would have just said "we are not African". By saying "think" she was implying disagreement with tthat opinion. The girl is not a native speaker of English, so you have to read between the lines to understand what is being said.
As a Nigerian I didn't even know an island called CV existed until the governor of my State married one in 2007, and I had to look at the map. A lot of Nigerians are not even aware that the island exist.
😂😂😂😂 All my life as a child, when i heard of the island, I used to think the island was located in the south of Africa. Just last year I was surprised to know it was located in West Africa.
I am from Mozambique, also an ex Portuguese colony. Cape Verdeans were employed by the Portuguese colonial government as government employees in a complicated burocratic System. That’s because most Cape Verdeans were literate and had basic Portuguese education degree. Same for Goans (Portuguese India). Those Cape Verdeans that managed to get a government employment usually chose to migrate to another Portuguese colony because Cape Verde was so poor. Most prefered Angola, a very rich territory. Finally, in 1975 when it gained independence, Cape Verde had the highest literacy rate of Africa. 90% of the population could read and write. Also all Cape Verdeans have Portuguese blood running in their veins.
You should read the journal of Vasco de Gama .... it will shock you what he found when he came to Moz... trust me im from moz. Try not to read the revised version.
As an American, im sure Europe had and still has his hands on Africa..They carved it up, own the land and people on it..That dominant financial influence over Africa's wealth , it leaders, and its people has a huge affect on their economic woes.. You need to report the history, and not just complain..
You are the one complaining, not me. Cape Verde has a deep relationship with Europe, and it has worked for them. At the end of the day, leadership and culture are the deciding factor in a country's success, not a foreign boogieman.
And you Americans have your hands in every corner of the planet distabilising every region militarily for a sake of control and greed. You guys are the problem and always been.

Willie Fungo thanks for the vlog new sub here..... you simply explain so well and felt like we toured together in the islands....... more life to you to keep educating nations with such informative pieces
In the 1960s ,70s and 80 s Cape verdians invaded Sénégal in search of good living conditions. They were mainly painters . Thousands of them were welcome , some of their descendants are still here in Dakar in some neighbourhoods. Even the current Mayor of Dakar is of Cape verdian origins. Most Senegalese had the same stereotypes towards capeverdians . The same they have currently vis a vis Sénégalese. 😂 Then Cape verde was dirt poor
You don't know what you're talking about. About 90% of Sub-Saharan Africa has a similar culture of kindness, hospitality, lifestyle, etc. Your hate for the mainland, as you refer to, is beyond understanding. Please do your research well
I am positive that the Portuguese started this division among Africans in Cape Verde. Just like the Caucasians here in the US created division, and hatred among our shades of black. They taught us to hate our blackness. I must admit with cape Verde being In the west African region of the continent where the majority is black this approach seemed to have backfired. It is still has the stench of racism. The worst kind of racism in my opinion is self racism. The dislike and hatred of oneself. For example black on black crime in the US. I almost forgot to mention the Rwandan genocide.
Just stumbled onto your channel and honestly, I think you're the most informative traveler I've come across. You're delivery is very detailed and "listener friendly." 🙏🏾
Yes, that's right, they have much in common. The Cape Vert creole is one of the influences on the origins of Papiamento as a language because, in the past, people of Cape Vert were brought to populate Curaçao and Aruba
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! You gave us the experience of actually being there. And, wow! Totally cool place! Totally cool people! Only one tiny incy wincy is that we love dry and arid! So your description of wanting more greenery didn't match our perception of beauty. We are from the horrendous land of 6 months dark and rain, followed by lovely long Spring days but often still cold to cool, and when our short Summers finally come it can be too humid. Yes, you guessed, England, hence every airport here has endless flights to sunny dry places. Hence the Cape Verde island of Sal looks like a dream! But, we are really delighted to gain the island hopping everyday Cape Verde experience from ya! And, we loved your trip SO much that maybe we should book a long winter holiday to just wander the streets and meet friendly people too? 😎🌅🏖Thank you! Obrigadu!
Amazing review. My 2 largest admix, Nigeria and Senegal. I hav distant relatives of both but we're so different culturally. Maybe one day I will travel to those countries.
Depending on the time of travel and rain fall you will understand why it's called cape verde (green cape). You found it in a dry season. Also santo antao is where it's really green
@WillieFungo : 4th Generation Cape Verdean here (originally from Boston, now living in Oakland CA). There’s actually a term for the kindness you describe. It’s called “Morabeza”. You did a good job describing it and you’re right about how particular this is to Cape Verdean culture…..to the point where there’s a word for it. Right On for paying homage to my people.👊🏽🇨🇻
Willie nice work bro 👍🏽👌🏽you put Africa out there beautiful place Your channel inspire me to visit Uganda 🙏🏽 When you going back to Uganda 🇺🇬 Rwanda 🇷🇼 area Any info about links for Uganda?
The islands are more green, particularly Santiago, depending on when you visit, but overall the islands have become more arid and windy before the colonizers came and water invasive species plants is part of the problem, besides rainfall.
Where there is poverty, African people tend to discriminate each other to survive or rebuke further poverty😮😮😮 It is the same in South Afica too. However, it is VERY low of those who look down on other Africans. And they seem to do it with pride😮😢😮😮
cool video are there any points of interest there of Amilcar Cabral he was a revolutionary who was killed in 1973 he was like a Malcom x or Che and I did see they named the airport in Cape Verde after him as I was typing this

Although Portuguese is our official language, most people in CV use criolo to communicate, and some older people can't even express themselves well in Portuguese. It is not a form of discrimination, we use kriolo everywhere, starting from our home, and we use Portuguese in more formal situations such as media, press, school, etc. I learned Portuguese at home but a significant amount of capeverdeans learned it in school, so when people speak criolo they aren't refusing to speak Portuguese or discriminating others. It is also about how we value our own language that actually came from resisting the Portuguese slave owners and colonizers. In the past, we were forbidden to use it. Regarding the dating scenario, we Capeverdean people prefer to date among ourselves, not sure if that's bad or not but that's what we prefer unless when we live abroad or on more tourist islands. About the locals not dating some street vendors, well I think the dating scenario for them could be hard in many other countries, not only in Cape Verde but I'll agree that some individuals can indeed be xenophobic (which is the minority).
I did say it might be because they don't speak Portugese very well. And Cape Verdeans are free to date whoever they want. I'm just presenting the information, not making a value judgement.
these street vendors in cape verde they are from SERRE tribe in senegal and they are musilum,they didnt go to cape verde for looking women senegal has more women than cape verde,even europians know senegal more than cape verde
Please don't hate me for my comment. My point of view as a capeverdean: You can find a lot a capeverdean dating with other african nationalities specially in praia. I was a testemony in a wedding cerimony for a man who was from another country in Africa. I have friends from Senegal, Guiné Bissau and Nigeria. They sayd that most of them go to cape Verde and try to date a capeverdean because of the passport. Usually they have a wife in they're country. As a Christian country is difficult to date a muslim. And some don't take care of they"re apperance. Is more likely to date nigerians because they smell well. Please don't hate my comment.

My friend i do understand your point on making this video but all what you did was sell Santiago to the world, there is almost no information about the other islands.
Went I was young we didn’t even know there was a land called cape verde, all we knew was Guinea Bissau, because of Amilcar Cabral, and most of the manjago peoples are from Bissau and without Guinea Bissau there’s no Cape Verde. For that lady saying that they don’t date west African men that’s absolutely rubbish.. in my country The Gambia there are so many manjago’s who are originally from Bissau and Cape Verde and the language they speak is Kriyol which is from Bissau where the origin of the manjako… stop spreading misinformation or should I say propaganda…
They look very Brazilian to me. The ones i saw in the US i never been to that island in Africa. But also like many in the Caribbean food looks the same.
@@usmanjohn3267 They are also mixed with Portuguese and Africans as that island was a slave port. Understand history of the slave trade from Africa to the Americas.
You mention that unlike African Americans, Cape Verdeans don’t follow the one drop rule in which those of mixed heritage are automatically identified as Black. I just wanted to note that both the one drop rule and the Cape Verdean system, which goes by the color of their skin, are remnants of Racism. In the American system the whites discriminated against those of mixed heritage who they thought had their blood poisoned by blackness and were not considered white. In the case of Cape Verdeans it’s self discrimination, in which those with lighter skin idetified as white which would give them advantages and privileges in society.
You make unwarranted assumptions and silly conclusions based on the little experience you have in Africa. Try and learn a bit more about the history, culture and people of the continent -you will be surprised how much you don't know.

...race is an artificial construct to be sure, if you consider yourself black, white or mixed. Cultural and genealogy factors apply heavily. If you are mixed genealogy, but little to no experience being raised in black culture and everything that comes with being black in America you might not identify as such. If I have four or five ancestors out of hundreds who are not black I wouldn't consider myself mixed. If a DNA test says I'm 89% sub saharan Africa and 1.5% European and so on I wouldn't consider myself mixed race. Besides being genetically and culturally overwhelming in this regard black Americans know any mixed ancestry generally came from the rape of slave women.
Honestly tho ….. there women are definitely beautiful & different but at the same time… the rhetoric I’m hearing from them abt west Africans sounds reminiscing of American Black women talking abt American Black Men …. Preference will always be there but … just a thought 🤔
I guess you must be very stingy from the way you repeatedly refer to mainland African countries as having a hidden financial motive in every kindness they showed.

@@iyke4djakes yes is true and i new it northern nigerian they like us d same culture but i didnt want single out northren from the rest of the nigeria.you people dominate west african medias those who dont know west africa think all west africa is your

The darker the berry the deeper the roots
You speech is offensive and I’m not from cape
I want to thank you and let you know you did a good job. I am a white guy from Boston. I live here in Cape Verde, for the last four years. I am now a Cape Verdean citizen. My journey started 35 years ago. I speak and write in Creolo, even though it is not official. Will be looking forward to more of your videos!
Thanks!
I hope your intentions are good living there you know your people always have an objective for countries like this.
My conclusion from this video is that this people are ignorant
Say who are just so a video and start thinking that the role country think the same. Please.
I assume they don't eat with their hands, so what do they eat with.
with their eyes lol
With their feet of course since they are bas****ds😂😂😂
Ummm…silverware maybe 🍴 😂
they cut their black hands and wear a white gloves lol .. love from Nigeria.
In Sénégal we call Cape verdians " NGAGNA" or " Purtungagna" . A derogatory term😂
Senegalese calling Cale Verdians derogatory? Lmfao Senagal don't got anything to say to Cape Verdeans with yall dirty assess
Senegalese people don't want to mix with Cape verdians
Why? They rysixt?
I love carpe Verde women ❤ all the way from Namibia 🇳🇦
@@Oneboy_world_19 wow was it for u, when u visited there? I'd luv to visit Cape Verde 1 fine day. Am from Swakopmund, so their beach will most definitely attract me.
The country of Cesaria Evora
My friend i do understand your point on making this video but all what you did was sell Santiago to the world, there is almost no information about the other islands.
Willy what is mandatory?
Well covered sir. Thank you for doing this. I’ve always wondered about this country🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️💛💚🖤
Brockton mass, is brava
Went I was young we didn’t even know there was a land called cape verde, all we knew was Guinea Bissau, because of Amilcar Cabral, and most of the manjago peoples are from Bissau and without Guinea Bissau there’s no Cape Verde. For that lady saying that they don’t date west African men that’s absolutely rubbish.. in my country The Gambia there are so many manjago’s who are originally from Bissau and Cape Verde and the language they speak is Kriyol which is from Bissau where the origin of the manjako… stop spreading misinformation or should I say propaganda…
Thanks for assisting me, originally from Guinea-Bissau, I have been to school in the Gambia❤🎉
They are planely stupid. The need reverse education. If I live on this small Island I will always let them know that they are too stupid.
They look very Brazilian to me. The ones i saw in the US i never been to that island in Africa. But also like many in the Caribbean food looks the same.
@@usmanjohn3267 They are also mixed with Portuguese and Africans as that island was a slave port. Understand history of the slave trade from Africa to the Americas.
You mention that unlike African Americans, Cape Verdeans don’t follow the one drop rule in which those of mixed heritage are automatically identified as Black. I just wanted to note that both the one drop rule and the Cape Verdean system, which goes by the color of their skin, are remnants of Racism. In the American system the whites discriminated against those of mixed heritage who they thought had their blood poisoned by blackness and were not considered white. In the case of Cape Verdeans it’s self discrimination, in which those with lighter skin idetified as white which would give them advantages and privileges in society.
You make unwarranted assumptions and silly conclusions based on the little experience you have in Africa. Try and learn a bit more about the history, culture and people of the continent -you will be surprised how much you don't know.
@@esayasalemu3340 Do you have a point to make?
@@thierryman1622 If you have a point to make, save the lectures and just make it. But you will have to use a different account because this one is blocked 👍🏿
Well other Africans finds your commentary offensive bro… look through the comments
The point: make a habit of not forming an opinion on a subject you know little about. Is that enough point for you?
@@esayasalemu3340 Stop yapping. What is the information you have that I am mistaken about? Make an actual point. Tell me where I am wrong.
Whats ironic is them immigrants ancestors may very well had fought for these island independence especially from Guinea bassau
I trust my Nigerian brothers..we will always have our way.
Nah, y'all just an annoying bunch, going to every country and disrespecting every fabric there 🚮
I love Seychelles Island..🇸🇨
Hi, I was living in Luanda city -Angola, a beautiful African country. I love Angola the people and everything there, I do not speak much but I can manage the Portuguese language my next trip is Cape Verde.
Creaole is our Language, Portuguese is from Europe!
Creole it's not a language it's a dialect
@@paulocamara4807Africa has many Languages, and Creaole is one of them. What you going to say, when you go to UGANDA. You going to say; that Luganda is not a language. UGANDA was colonized by the Whites (British) and they brought English to Uganda. But, there is (30) languages there. We were colonized by Portugal and Portuguese was brought over and now it's used as a business language. My man, no where in Africa will you find the Original language of that country from its Oppresser. NO WHERE!!!! CREOALE 4 🧬 LIFE!!!!!!
@@cezarsilva4811it’s Portuguese sorry darling
@@paulocamara4807😂😂😂 the dialecto is portugués .espanish .italiano. and fransh .the lingua IS latine .the creole the wolof the mandinko the bambara Ext IS lingua
I'm Haitian our language is creole@paulocamara4807
"Senegalese unique bathing habit" 17:46 what is so unique about Sengalese people and bathing? we do shower everyday sir! lol
That is exactly the reason im in the comments right now. 😮more explainations needeed???
@@moulayewade1325 right? he said that like we don't take showers everyday or something 💀
what's the population of manjago population in ape Verde... i can hear some voices in manjago from the background
What do you mean by the caption "unusually shapely women" on the beach? Thats bw's NATURAL shape. This is why every other non-melanated female is trying to get our shapes!
It looks like a Caribean Country
It don't matter still African
@@francisbrobby4120 Yeah sure
En siglo 8 hasta siglo 14 en ( Portugal y españa ) los afroportuges y afro españoles .y parecieron como los país caribean de hoy en América .y hoy sigue en siglo 21 los afro español y portugués del siglo 21
It's black+Hispanic so ...
Ignornce is no excuse
I really want to know where did you had your food 😂
...race is an artificial construct to be sure, if you consider yourself black, white or mixed. Cultural and genealogy factors apply heavily. If you are mixed genealogy, but little to no experience being raised in black culture and everything that comes with being black in America you might not identify as such. If I have four or five ancestors out of hundreds who are not black I wouldn't consider myself mixed. If a DNA test says I'm 89% sub saharan Africa and 1.5% European and so on I wouldn't consider myself mixed race. Besides being genetically and culturally overwhelming in this regard black Americans know any mixed ancestry generally came from the rape of slave women.
Black is beautiful and rich
What do you mean unusually shaped women, this is a normal shaped women
His not use to women shape as good as that.
I was gonna ask the same question
"Unusually shapely women" 😂
The Manjacos are everywhere.....................LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Even in SA n the pl there are sick of them
Nigeria 🇳🇬 for the win 🥇 😂😂
😅Senegalese Unique Bathing Habits:
Can we have more explanations about that cuz i think u are missleading others as well my brother.😂
@@moulayewade1325 They think Senegalese people bathe with water bottles and wipe with their hands. I don't know if this is true or not. 😂
Honestly tho ….. there women are definitely beautiful & different but at the same time… the rhetoric I’m hearing from them abt west Africans sounds reminiscing of American Black women talking abt American Black Men …. Preference will always be there but … just a thought 🤔
Nigeria owns most businesses in Cape Verde.
For real!!
LIES !
@@lindelwanothandongcobo8863 Do your research.
😂😂😂😂 my gosh. Where do you live? 😂😂😂
"Even the most beautiful women are open and friendly" 🤣
Alles is van Italië daar, niet goed voor de eigen eiland bewoners,al het Europese geld verdwijnt van de eilanden
Like in South Africa?
Why show Nigeria 🇳🇬
I guess you must be very stingy from the way you repeatedly refer to mainland African countries as having a hidden financial motive in every kindness they showed.
I spent around $9,000 in three months in Uganda, and people are still asking for more.
That's your business. You don't denigrate other African nations coz of few experiences you had from people
@@okwuchukwuvalentine8588 Actually, I can and will say whatever I want to say. No one forces you to watch my videos.
@@WillieFungoyou think black is different? I’m sorry you and the other Cape Verde ladies are just making yourself excited.
@WillieFungo Such a statement may f🤬ck up ur TH-cam career. Learn to tolerate bullshit n let them keep bullshitting while u make the most money off them.
17:07 😂😂😂😂 well fvck😹
7:37 What song is that? I LOVE IT.❤
Why put out archived recycled videos, cmon buddy ya better than this
@@coolbreezeinpuertoplata4470 Why jump to conclusions instead of asking questions? The old video was re-edited because of a copyright issue.
@@WillieFungo I’m new here
@@WillieFungoIt's old videos mashed together, he seen it before, so it's old to him and me. You're just rude for no reason 🚮
@@willankhatter You don't know what you are talking about. This video was taken down and reuploaded because of a copywriter strike. That's why he left that comment. Nothing here is recycled.
You not even saying all story of Cabo verde correctly.
They are just so ignorant
Hi brother hope you're gonna see my comment i saw this video and i saw a lot of thing that looks like my contry comoros 🇰🇲 island hope you will visit my island peace ✌🏾
