Some of you might know the famous song “Sodade” by Cesària Evora. She is the queen 👑 of Morna music. The song Sodade is the perfect example of the Cape Verdean melancholic music genre “Morna”.

Morna is music about longing, a deep feeling of missing home and love that remains. To understand the Morna music, you need to know more about the history of Cape Verde. And we’ll tell you all about it ❤️

To understand the music 🎻, you need to know that Cape Verde is one of the few nations in the world that is born out of the transatlantic slave trade. In the 1400s Portuguese settlers occupied the islands and turned them into a trading post where enslaved people would be taken from West Africa and trafficked to Europe and the Americas.

After the abolition of slavery, recurring droughts and desertification in Cape Verde resulted in periods of famine and epidemics. This led to several eras of mass migration which shaped the history of our islands. And, the music of Morna.

Morna is truely something originally from Cape Verde 🇨🇻 . If you want to understand the culture and people of the island, listening to Morna is a good way to do it.

Recently a new restaurant (you already guessed it) named Morna’s has been opened on Estoril beach 🏝️ . It is a really nice place with good food and most of all a beautiful view. And the best thing, they have a few times per week live Morna music.

So, support local business 🫶🏽 take a taxi 🚕 and get to know the culture through Morna music ✨.

The price to go to Morna’s is:
Karamboa: €10
Palace: €10
Touareg €30
VOI Chavez: €10
Occidental €10
Sal rei: €2 or €3
Barcelo Marine: €3

PS. We also do private 4x4 island tours, grouptours, sell vapes, pub crawl evenings, airport transfers, and we are 24/7 available for taxi’s 😁

Have you been laying next to the pool a bit to long? Getting tired of the all inclusive buffet. Tried all the cocktails 🍹 on the menu and already read through all the books you have brought? 📚 Maybe want to see something else than your travel companions face? 😂

Well.. why not come out of the hotel and do a tour with us 😂. Let us take you on an adventure and we’ll show you all the beauty Boa Vista has to offer! 🏝️

- Sanddunes of Morro de Arreia + sandboarding 🏄🏽‍♂️
- Turtle bay 🐢
- Shark bay 🦈
- The love ❤️ Caves
- Santa Monica beach 🏖️
- A local liquor tasting at the first settlement of Boa Vista 🥃. (We promise to bring you home safe 🙏🏽)

Everything is possible. Group tour or privately. Half day or full day. Had enough alcohol for a while and rather do something else. That is also possible! 😂 Let us know whatever you want and we’ll try to organize the perfect day out for you! 🇨🇻. Just sent us a PM, and we’ll take it from there 🫡😄.

PS, we deliver vapes, are available 24/7 for taxis, airport transfers, arrange tattoos, pub crawls, day trips, snorkeling tours and much more.

Lately, we’ve been hearing a lot of people say that the hotel food is very repetitive. The food is either undercooked or overcooked, to salty or to bland. Or some even forgot their long trousers and can’t get into the “speciality” restaurants 😂.

In the town of Sal rei you are spoiled for choice. We have LOTS of good restaurants and many new ones. You’d be surprised by the quality of food. AND, you don’t need long trousers to have dinner in town 👌🏽😂.

You might have heard of the ice cream parlour: Cremositos 🍦🤤. But did you know they also have a restaurant with some of the best meat dishes in town? We can highly recommend their pasta’s (Italian owned) and their mixed grill. We promise you won’t be disappointed. And you’ll be dining in style while overlooking the ocean.

So why not try something else instead of only the hotel restaurants, and you support local business at the same time 🫶🏽.

So take a taxi to town and enjoy an evening out 🚕.

The price to go to Cremositos is:
Karamboa: €10
Palace: €10
Touareg: €30
Occidental: €10
VOI Chavez: €10
Barcelo marine €2
Sal rei: €2 or 3

PS. We deliver vapes to the hotel, do airport transfers, 4x4 Island tours, Snorkeling trips, pub crawls, 24/7 taxi service and much more 😄
