I must say I have been fortunate to come across this amazingly meaningful documentary. Being a Cape Verdian ( at heart) since 1985, having visited all the islands, having read most books that came out on Cape Verde ever since ... has enrichened me immensely and so has this documentary. Thank you.
Amazing video. I was born in Providence Rhode Island, Fox Point. Now, I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am so happy to learn about my cultural history.
Thank you so much for this incredible stories, memories, lives that will never forgotten ! You have no idea how this mean the world to me ! I can not thank you enough for the sharing. I am from Cape Verde (SO PROUD) live in Paris (FRANCE) and this remembered me all the long talks with my yaya (grand ma) ! Our heritage is humongous !!!!
@@spiamedia Hi my cousin sent me this video,and I really enjoyed it. I live in West Roxbury Massachusetts now, but I was born in The island of Fogo. Many of my relatives live in Rhode Island,New Bedford, and Connecticut. My Family's is the Cabral family. Thanks for sharing this video. May God bless you 🙏 and your family.
@@beautifulbutterfly3939 I am delighted that SKFPR continues to find new friends and bring so much joy. It is filled with so much beautiful ancestor energy
Thanks for such a good video that even i(capeverdean living in boston for more than a decade) didnt know about many of this things about my peoples struggle and story in this country
I love the video, thank you. There is no words to describe how I feel watching this. Something on youtube that I really identify with. Thank you again.
LOVE THIS DOCUMENTARY WENT TO SEE IT IN BOSTON YEARS AGO ,I HAVE TOLD A LOT OF CAPE VERDEAN PEOPLE THAT DON"T KNOW ABOUT IT,, EVEN I AM NOT CAPE VERDEAN I RELATE AND I AM INVOLVED WITH THE COMMUNITY ...
My GOODNESS! Did you see it at the 2006 premiere or the 2016 retrospective at the MFA? Thank you! Yes, you are right, it is a UNIVERSAL story. Thank you for passing along information about SKFPR!!
I loved it! Thank you very much for sharing the rich Cape Verdean history that i a Cape Verdean that grew up in Massachusetts knew nothing about. Thanks Claire
what a wonderful video! what a wonderful job putting this together, I'm from New Bedford and I grew up knowing and loving many Cape Verdean people and family. my wife is half Cape Verdean. her family were nothing but wonderful hard-working people who mostly on their own houses and businesses on the west side of New Bedford. God bless the Cape Verdean people who immigrated to the US and made New Bedford a better place to live!
I loved the pictures of your Grandmother and sons dancing and the Cape Verde music in the background, it brought back memories 65 years ago when I was with my Grandmother and Aunt's and uncles in Norwich CT. Thanks for sharing this video.
This is a masterpiece! Thank you for sharing these stories of our fellow Cape Verdeans! I lived in Boston, Fall River and Brockton MA before moving to Florida. It's great to know the genesis of Cape Verdian Americans!
My father was born in Praia in 1951. He got to see the Ernestina and the Madalan that took the emigrants and brought the "yá" (goods) back to their families. My mother's granduncle went to the USA very young and never saw his family again.
This is great, thanks for putting in all the work to film this and to put it up on TH-cam. I've lived in Fox Point for 10 years (Off of Ives St.) but I never knew the history, now I know!
I'm delighted to hear this. SKFPR is a more than a film; it's a movement to create a sustainable legacy about us, our humanity in a beautiful, magical place with no borders or boundaries called Fox Point.
my grandfather is in this video at 58:14, he’s the man in the dark brown suit. it’s so cool to see a different version of him and learn more about my culture❤️
As a Puerto Rican, this video changed my life. I sleep better. I eat better. I live better. My compliments to everyone from the director to the fucking janitor on set. Y’all did ur thing. One love, Obama.
Foi um comentário mais espetacular que vi sobre o povo cabo verdeano eu também sou trás Montana boticas Ribeira de pena a minha mãe veio para cá 1974 no ultramar deixou família para trás e não conheço ninguém só família trás Montana vem haja esse comentário para saber a estória dos caverdeanos não me canso de ver Paulo cacela pelo comentário de cabo verde maravilhoso
Gotta love fox point, it’s weird because when I stroll south Main Street to get dinner and know my people lived were these restaurants and buildings are it’s crazy, needless to say I always feel a sense of the souls around me I’m always at peace there, as the old timers are gone we gotta keep the history of fox point alive!!!!!!! RIP to Johnny brito!!!!! Legends don’t die
If you like skfpr, please look at "Serenata de Amor" (on,TH-cam)a Cape Verdean period piece, love story set to song. It is an homage to Eugenio Tavares, the father of the Cape Verdean morna. Our CV Mozart.
Funny, about staying to themselves, I learned a lot going thru things my self, and stay to my self today even having been born in america... interesting...
This piece becomes more and more poignant with the passage of time. I want the little ones coming up now to be able to show this to their grandbabies someday! 💜🎶👶🏾💙
I love this documentary but I think it’s very sad that they were taught not to intermingle with African Americans not realizing that a lot of African-Americans are Afro Portuguese as well and the only difference between them and us is that we were brought all the way to the US first as slaves.I am Afro Portuguese in ancestry but I’m proud to be black American.
Indeed. We have a very complicated colonial legacy. The roots of this complexity are very deep. www.aljazeera.com/features/2021/3/10/how-portugal-silenced-centuries-of-violence-and-trauma
Did you hear the part on this documentary that the early Capeverdeans did try to be part of the African Americans in the area through church attendances etc but were somewhat rejected and that’s why we started our own churches? We have all been affected by yte supremacy and that’s unfortunate but now that we are all learning together, we are becoming more united I believe 🙏🏽❤️ thanks God!
Lol 😂 😂😂😂 Stop lying!! Africans Americans do not have Portuguese ancestry like Cape Verdeans and Brazilians. Most of your people European ancestry come from British and irish people. You people want to be Latinos so bad.
Same for me (well partial), we have some Portuguese, Spanish, Basque-Spanish & French and of course Scottish and Irish in terms of Europe. But it also turns out that some of my original maternal ancestors were either in Cabo Verde or came through Cabo Verde and sent to the colony of Louisiana. My direct maternal lineage is traced back to Senegambia and I have talked to some of my dna cousins from Cabo Verde about our origins. But I also have a friend whose family was owned by Portuguese in NC, so we're definitely all connected.
cape verdeans were also used during colonial times to do some things on behalf of portuguese gov. in other parts of africa that other africans refused, violent stuff.
May I ask what was your deeply held intention of your comment? You are preaching to the choir when it comes to our history. Just like there weren’t any perfectly obedient slave or indentured servant in the Americas the same happened to us Capeverdeans. Imagine being the first ever miscegenated group of people in the Atlantic and being forced and brainwashed to not identify with your African side from early childhood. It’s funny that many AA justifies the ills and mishaps of other people of color but when it comes to us Capeverdeans it becomes grounds to hate us and treat us indifferent. Just know that we are aware and watching to this day going forward.

Thanks for sharing the Story Subs for me
My pleasure!! We are ONE heart, with many languages!
I really don’t like the name …
The title is explained in the documentary.
The guy speaks more like a Cuban or Dominican accent than Porto Rican .Well can be Neworican
